I got the Gyro wrap and dear lord that thing was humongous. It was not only larger than life but very juicy and tasty. The meat is very tender, fresh. The only problem is you'll still be full 2 days later. So plan a fast after one of these gyros. read more

Reston Kabob is...well...it just is. I used to go here for lunch quite a bit due to the lack of options in the Reston area where I worked on a project. I could make a few points on this place though: 1. I agree with MiRIAM - the naan leaves a lot to be desired. Heavy, flavorless, and tough, this naan gave me the impression that I was eating a scorched piece of dough a nothing else. 2. Oversized portions. If you're not a kabob connoisseur and don't really know what you're getting into, this place will have you feeling like you got your bang for the buck. 3. Lines. This place gets packed at lunch and you can be in line waiting for your food for up to 20 minutes - not an ideal situation at lunchtime. 4. Buffet. They have a small buffet that literally looks like a street cart - but it can satisfy when you're in a rush and don't want to wait in the long line. Will I be back? Not likely - I drive by it now and actually prefer the Chili's or Popeye's next door. read more

Reston Kabob is THE BEST! Other places don't even compare! The chicken kabob platter with brown rice is my go-to. Chicken is juicy and tender and everything is so full of flavor and deliciousness. White sauce is on point so ask for extra. The brown sauce is nice and spicy. My favorite spot to get kabobs read more

This is a regular lunch spot for our work group and it always pleases everyone. Their chicken kabobs are good but not but of this world and I'm not a fan of their soupy chickpeas (but that's just a personal preference) BUT the Gyro is always delicious and definitely my favorite thing on their menu. If you go, give it a try. I ask for additional rice instead of salad and they are always nice about it and I'm able to make two meals out of it. Great spot! read more

Good prices for mediocre kebobs; and I kind of wish there was more to say about it. I was really jonesing super hard for a kebob, when a co-worker told me about this place. She went on about how great it was and how the prices were a good deal, and how I would really enjoy it. So, I gave it a shot and was pretty much underwhelmed by everything except for the prices (which were, in fact, great.) Food was bland, service was awful (seriously, no one could even be bothered to get off their phone to speak to the customers) and it took FOREVER. It is, however, the closest kebob place to where I work, so I have been and will continue to be back. If I had a longer lunch break, or another option, I would probably choose that place. read more

Had take out, we ordered the lamb and chicken platter and the gyro platter. The prices are fair since the portions are huge. The yogurt sauce has mint in it and the spicy green sauce definitely has a big kick so use sparingly if you're not into heat, it definitely is a great flavor addition though, kind of similar to chimichurri. The platters come with two flavors of basmati rice, half buttery, the other half slightly spiced. The sides of tomato and lettuce are fine, but I do wish there was more than the one tomato slice, with the gyro you also get spicy peppers and onions. The only thing that was disappointing is how dry the pita was. Perhaps if we eat in it it'll be better. For a quick to go meal for dinner this was enough food for at least two meals which lends well to leftovers for lunch the next day. If you're curious this is not Greek food, it is definitely more Persian spiced than Mediterranean, the yogurt sauce is minty and more liquid, not thick like (usually dill and cucumber) tzatziki. read more

Can't agree more that this is one of best gyros in the area. The meat is spiced perfectly and the naan is fluffy. The portion is HUGE. That's the reason for the 4 stars. I'm not a big fan of their gyro sauce but I love the hot chutney they have. However, if you're not in the mood for the gyro, the kabobs are only so-so. The chicken is moist but not that flavorful. Granted I am bias because I'm from that part of the world but the kabobs are a bit bland and the sides/rice are sub-par. For a local kabob joint, this will suffice but for the best kabobs, go to Food Corner in Tysons or Annandale. I only come here for the gyro, try the gyro salad too, it's just as amazing! read more

Juiciest and one of the most flavorful Kobeeda (seasoned ground beef) I've ever had. The Chicken Kabob was also juicy and flavorful. The Beef kabobs were seasoned well but was a bit dry. Spicy Green sauce/salsa was good with it though. I've been waiting to try this place and I'm glad I finally did. I don't think I'll be trekking out to Herndon as often for good kabobs. My only gripe is the MAYOish Tzatziki, has a heavy oily feel to it. Not the best but the juicy Kabobs take up the slack. read more

here is my first 5 star! Kabobs so good you think you have just walked through the pearly white gates of heaven. gyro so big and delicious that you swear that this is your last meal before the electric chair. this place is no joke! I bring everyone here atleast once for the expeirence of a true, REAL gyro. Please do youself a favor, and not eat for like 2 days before coming here, trust me you will need all that space. read more

I went here for lunch after hearing so many good things about the food. Some advice...don't go here for lunch- at least not on Thursdays or Fridays during the peak lunch hour. You'll be waiting for so long. Better yet you should call in your order and just go and pick it. That being said the reason it's so crowded is because of how good the food is! I got the lamb kabob and it was so filling. They definitely give you a lot for the price. Try different things on the menu though because no matter what you get you'll be satisfied. :) read more

Reston Kabob is a small, dingy little place nestled into a small strip mall, next to a 7-11. The interior is beyond bland, and not particularly clean either. But all that doesn't matter. You don't come here for the decor, you come here for delicious kabobs. No matter if you get the beef, chicken, lamb, or kobeda, you will love it. Their naan bread (which comes with every order) is amazing, too. As are the sauces. Better yet: call ahead and have it ready to be picked up. That will save you the 10-15 minutes it takes to prepare your order. The lines can get long during peak lunch hours, but it's worth it. This is by far my favorite kabob restaurant. I go there pretty much once a week! read more

This place is right by my office here in Reston so it's my automatic go-to when I'm feeling the itch for kabobs while I'm at work. I rotate between the chicken kabob platter and the gyro platter. The best thing about Reston Kabob is the portion size. Plan on saving half of the platter for a later time unless you want food coma to set in while mindlessly typing away on your keyboard afterwards. The chicken is decent and so is the gyro. Do not get the beef. It is always dry. I have gotten it a few times and have finally learned my lesson and given up on giving it another chance. It gets really busy around lunch time so service can be pretty slow. Even when I call ahead and am given a 20 minute wait time, when I get there 20 minutes later, I am still required to wait more. I don't think their system is very accurate or efficient. Slow service and more importantly the general dryness of their meats knocks two stars off. Their portion sizes are very good, though. read more

Summary: Solid value and great lunch spot... especially on a Saturday or Sunday if you have time for a food coma/nap afterwards. Food: There's a sign when you walk in that talks about the size of the gyro wrap and I kind of ignored it because it seems like one of those things where the restaurants claims they are "award-winning" but never specify what award. Anyway, I should have taken that sign as a warning, because it was huge. It was also delicious. If/when I go back, I would be torn between trying something new, like the kabobs, or going with the known entity of the gyro sandwich again. Like everyone else, I want to echo how good the white sauce was. If you're on a diet, I would probably go easy though on as I'm pretty sure it's a mayo based sauce and not yogurt based. (Please keep in mind this is just a guess based on the taste.) Service: You order your food and they call your number. Pretty straightforward. Ambiance: The seating area is dated and old. Chairs are not comfortable, but that's probably a good thing since it doesn't allow people to pass out in the restaurant after their meal. Wait time: Place was moderately busy on that Saturday afternoon but there wasn't an excessive wait. I'm assuming any delay was due to the the 18 lbs of lamb/beef sliced deliciousness that they had to stuff into the pita. Miscellaneous observations: One minor annoyance - this place only has the super cheap plastic utensils and ultra-thin napkins that dissolve on single use. Neither of those hold up very well to the food being served. read more

Our first time here, comparing these kabobs to other places, we loved it. The platter is big, I shared my chicken & lam kabob with my youngest daughter. I could have shared with both of my daughters. We had leftovers. We tried the white sauce and a spicy sauce with our lamb, it have it a kick, but I prefer plain. I eat very plain, but I didn't mind the sauces. My husband ordered the chicken & beef kabob. It was also a big platter. read more

Very good. Recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. We both got chicken kabob platters. Excellent all mixed up with white sauce and a touch of the spicy one. We also ordered hummus and the portion was so large we took most of it home for snacking. We will be coming back. read more

New place next to my office. Got great kabobs. Their white sauce is the best I ever had!! Goes well with their kabobs. I had the chicken kabob and kobeda. Both are delicious. Would try their beef and lamb soon. It was really crowdy during lunch time. Its food made fresh right in front of you so dont mind the wait time because the food is delicious. read more

I would rate the food quality at Reston Kabob average-to-good for a kabob place. I continue to come here every 1-2 weeks, as there are no other kabob restaurants in Reston, thereby giving a more profound meaning to their name. One thing I'd enjoy is an explanation of the unique system in which their orders are prioritized. I've conducted a series of experiments to this effect, resulting in the following data. When ordering within the restaurant, one can expect a pretty standard wait time of 10 minutes. If you'd prefer not to wait at the establishment, they also offer the traditional option to call in your order ahead of time. The anomaly here, is that the average time between ordering via phone and when you actually see the food is 25-30 minutes--nearly three times as long as ordering at the counter, which wouldn't be a problem if I was popping out for a quick bite from Leesburg, or Manassas. The mysterious thing is that, after waiting in line to pay for my call-in order, the cashier picks up my ticket from a counter where lay everyone else's order. This is the odd cog in the Reston Kabob machine: how do they keep track, and make sure that my order is suspended for 20 extra minutes when it's mixed up with everyone else's? There are no cryptic symbols visibly drawn on the ticket to distinguish it, nor are any coded verbal messages relayed to communicate that "this is a call-ahead order and must be treated with the utmost latency." At the same time, however, maybe I shouldn't question things that are already clearly in working order. read more

I am never going back to this restaurant again. Not because of the food but because of the disrespectful response I got from the guy there. YOU DONT INSULT YOUR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY COMPLAIN! I go to Reston Kabob for my lunch break and decided to order a "wrap" to eat it at my desk. When I come back to my office I open the wrap and it was soaked in sauce. I couldn't eat it even if i had silverware. I tried to grab it and felt like a little boy dipping his hands in food. They clearly accidentally dropped a lot of sauce because they were rushing during the lunch busy hour. The problem however was when I called them to complain about the too much sauce. My tone was respectful but the guy got offended and said that he never heard of such complaint before from 11 years and that I could have not requested the sauce and that he is not a mind reader to fiigure out what people like and not like. Well clearly from his angry response it wasn't a first complaint he got in 11 years. In any case I was just calling to let them know of the issue and I was very respectful but I was shocked in the response as I have never seen any restaurant owner insult the customers when they receive a complaint. read more

I'm keeping this at 4 star because the chicken and the bread are still great, and all kabob salads are dull I guess. What holds me back from 5 stars. 1) There's no information on where the Chicken is sourced from. Info on it being all natural, free range etc is important. 2) We need to get away from styrofoam for carry out boxes and drinks. C'mon guys get on board the ecology wagon, we need to get these things sorted. They're important. read more

After living in Reston for 10 years, I moved away and am still driving back here just for these guys. I've tried numerous kabob joints over the years, and simply put, nobody comes close. Best 2 sauces ever. Unique and pairs perfectly. Portions always beat everyone else. The bread, rice, everything was on point. And under $10. Gonna severely miss this place (after July 31). It was my #1 go-to in Reston (with Ariake and Pho Reston 75). Guess I'll try the Herndon spot (same owner) which supposedly has the same recipes. read more

Many of the reviews of Reston Kabob are dated. Same owners reopened in the VY apartments on Sunrise Valley Drive. The food is as good as I remember from when they were in the old Reston Kabob nearby. My kids are a bit older now, but were ecstatic to see them reopen. I love this place, and my kids still insist we visit often. You can order takeout, but need to call to order at the point I write this. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed. The food photos are probably representative, but the pictures of the interior are from the old place; new one is very nice. read more

Ordered a large amount of food for a party we had over the weekend. Everything was ready when I requested and the food was a huge hit with everyone. The chicken kabobs were amazing as well as all of the sides. Almost everyone took some home at the end of the night. We will use them again for future gatherings and take out when we are in the area. read more

I love the beef kabobs here and the bread is fantastic. While the meat may not be as soft and tender as say, Charcoal Kabob in Herndon, it is still really good and the price isn't too bad either. The place is kinda small and can get really packed during lunch, but I usually just take it back to the office so I don't really mind. You can call ahead to ensure your wait time is short too. read more

It's not bad for Reston (the land of planned community and every franchise known to the suburban hero) but certainly does not rank 5 stars in any area. Ordering is crowded at a small counter and rushed and you stand in line directly in front of the bottled drinks, forks and napkins, etc. as people try to grab what they need. The table arrangement reminds me of eating in Chinatown (NYC). Not a bad thing for me because it's very familiar but it is also quite crowded and noisy. The food? Other than the chicken gyro salad (that "chicken" stinks), I have had good food experiences at Reston Kabob. It's the real deal and yes, the bread is good (although I have had much better). Pricing is a little below average for this kind of food (like Moby Dick and others), so that might make up for the crowded, poorly laid out space and "good" food quality. For Reston, this is about as good as it gets though, so save your tolls and time and try it for yourself! read more

Cafeteria style decor. I treated myself to the kobeeda and chicken combo. The kobeeda is a ground meat with spices and was super tasty. The chicken kabobs were beautifully cooked and weren't dried out. The best part of eating in is access to full bottles of the white sauce. I drenched my food in that stuff. The salad was fresh and crisp. The only complaints I have are the pricing is a little much and the bread was decent at best. Being the carnivore that I am, I would have preferred to have more meat and less rice and bread. They overload you on rice and bread, those of you who still partake in the Atkins diet. Next time, I think I'm going to get a sandwich or gyro to cut out the rice. read more

YESSSSSSS!!! Thank you Yelp for showing us the way. Reston Kabob is our new authentic kabob joint in the area. Highlights We've tried three things and I have a hard time picking a favorite so I recommend them all: Beef Koubideh - tender, juicy, flavorfull (I'm excited to try the chicken version) Gyro Chicken kabob The rices are excellent and the sauces are fantastic. Lowlights Food takes way too long from the time you order and pay to the time the deliciousness is in your hand. But that's because they prepare it upon order, so be patient! The place itself is nothing fancy so don't go in expecting an amazing dining experience. Just come in expecting amazing food. Tips HUGE portions - enough to share unless you have a big appetite. Phone your order in ahead of time, whether carryout or eating there! read more

Aw man. I was really excited to try this place because of the awesome reviews- but, the rice was really stale and the chick peas were soupy and the "salad" was limp. I ordered the chicken and beef combo (and got extra rice and chick peas on the side, unfortunately). The only things that were pretty good were the spicy sauce and the bread. Not really happy with anything else, sadly. Also, the customer service was ok. It was an old man and while he was really polite and cute- he forgot to give me my change. So we shared a confused 6 second stare with each other. Haha. Maybe I'll try it again and the chef will be different that day- but for now Dulles kabob towards south riding is MY JAM. There isn't anything bad to say about that place. read more

Quality kabob, fresh salads and perfectly seasoned. A family owned place with attention to detail and the pride in their food comes through in the taste. read more

Great kabobs.....love the lamb and kobeeda. Just like grill kabob, continue to go at least once a month

This place is completely laid back - it's a super casual eatery, no frills or ambiance whatsoever. I'm a creature of habit and usually order the lamb kabob platter. I tried the grilled chicken once, and was much happier sticking with the lamb. The naan they have is the best ever and their spicy and white sauces are very tasty - I think the rice is even cooked with the spicy sauce. It's best to call ahead whether you're eating there or picking up so that you don't have to wait, because there is always a wait. I have yet to find a better place for kabob. read more

This seems like a random spot for kabobs, but they do it right over here. $10 was a lot I thought when I ordered the lamb kabob sandwich, but they give you a lot. Looked like a foot long hoagie. There was a lot of meat and deliciousness packed into some tasty bread. Gets a little messy, but it was well worth it. read more

Tried this place out on a Sunday night after a friend was raving about it. Made a 30 minute drive during the monsoon to pick up some lamb kabobs! They were really good. The rice was good, the lamb was good, the brown sauce they give you is really good. Flavorful and well-cooked. Too bad this place is so far away, or else I would visit more often. One of the best kabob places in NOVA. read more

I am definitely not a kabob connoisseur, but I don't mind grilled lamb. It was subtly spiced and comes with something like 4000 calories of rice. Are you really supposed to eat all of this rice? The storefront itself is dingy and not very clean. They are also incapable of preparing more than a few kebabs at once, so you might be waiting for a half an hour if you didn't beat the lunch rush. The Indians and the Persians are crazy about this place though, so it must be some great kabob. read more

Its a small place...very crowded during lunch time but you forget all these things when you have their kabobs.. Note: order before you go there...you may have to wait a bit before they give you your order.. Recommend: CHICKEN Kabobs ... Its tastes awesome with their flavored rice ! read more

Get ready to wait if you go during lunch. I've been spoiled by Kabob Palace, working in Arlington and Alexandria for so long. So when I started working at Reston, this was the only place to go. I've found myself opting for the many other Indian options around for lunch these days... read more

I had the beef kubideh platter here, about $9-10, which is overpriced considering what we got. The kabob was fresh grilled in the back, and the meat was high quality, but the flavor was unremarkable; not salty enough, not spiced enough -- the only flavor came from the sauce. The accompanying salad was meager -- iceberg lettuce based, it's basically a vehicle for the sauces. The sauces are good; the green one is spicy in a way that sneaks up on you, and pairs well with the cooling yogurt. However, I prefer the sauces at Sterling Kabob. Not terrible, but I won't go back. I'll be at The Counter in RTC having a burger, or El Rinconcito del Sabor in Sterling having a taco, or at Moby Dick if I have a hankering for kabob (although I am not a huge Moby Dick fan). My gold standard for American kebob places is Sticks, based in Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. TL;DR: it's just another place to eat in Reston. read more

The BIGGEST Gyro EVER! Seriously, took 2 of us to finish this monster...though I'm sure if I wanted to, I could've finished it by myself, b/c it was DELICIOUS! The flavors were just right. Also decently priced, I would highly recommend it if you're in the area :) read more

Delicious delicious kabob! I got the beef kabob but have also tried the chicken. their yogurt sauce is a little heavy on the dill but i still find it incredible. I need to go back and try the gyro now. My coworker got it and it looks amazing. the portions are huge as well for a reasonable price. read more

good service and bad food. staffs were very friendly and nice but I was here for a good food; unfortunately their kabob didn't meet my expectations. I ordered #5 rice platter which consisted of rice, small portion of salad, ground beef, and chicken. basically their kabob is not authentic kabob. To begin with they use South American rice which is not Lebanese rice. the ground beef was big but so what? it's got so much MSG in it which I couldn't bear to have second bite. it was chewy because they put too much some of unknown stuffs in it. perhaps muscle part instead of real meat. chicken was a bit dried and wasn't that great either. this plc definitely doesn't deserve 4 stars. read more

Reston Kabob - Peruvian made Lebanese kabob. not authentic - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Used to go to Reston Kabob once a week when I lived in Herndon. It is tucked away between an AM/PM and another shop, so it can be easily missed. First off let me say the menu isn't that impressive, although they do have a buffet, but I'm really against buffets of any sort so I stick to the main menu. They have your typical kabobs: Chicken, beef, lamp, combination... but I stick to the chicken, although I have had the lamb before and found it tough and hard to eat. The chicken kabob has always been very tasty and juicy. The rice is always good and the naan is always fresh and fluffy. I usually ask for more than one piece and depending on who is working the register I can get it for free :) -- thank you :) I absolutely love the salad, although it isn't anything amazing I think it is the dressing they use, which I put in my rice as well. I fricking love the baklava. I always get at least 4 pieces when I come here. It is always fresh, sticky, and just the right amount of sweet. It would be nice if this place served warm tea and pistachios but they don't. It saddens me that I don't live across sunrise valley drive anymore and my late night cravings for kabob can't be easily cured now that I am back on the west-coast, but every time I fly into Dulles I make sure to stop by just for old times sake. read more
