Very slow service. Food is ok, but expect to spend atleast 30 minutes after ur order to get food - that is unacceptable for a casual food joint. read more

My husband and I have ordered food from this place at least once a week for almost a month now. He really enjoys their gyros. While the tzatziki dressing that comes with it is not that impressive (it's very mayonnaisy), he loves the generous amount of meet and its quality. We've also tried beef kabobs and they were pretty good, but I personally prefer lamb ones, and they don't make them here. However, chicken kabobs are ON POINT! Very well done, super juicy - delicious! And the ABSOLUTE STAR of this place is the green sauce that comes with kabobs - to die for!!! Especially with the chicken! It is truly a hidden gem. We always ask for extra sauce, so we can use it later with other foods at home. An absolute must try!! In addition to that, kabobs come with a side of very delicious rice and a little cup of chick pea something (possibly, a soup?) which I personally really like. read more

Delicious chicken kebab platter and huge portion. Staff was friendly and chicken was cooked perfectly. I will be back when I am in town. Make sure you order extra green sauce...so good! read more

The food was good. We ordered the chicken, beef and lamb platters. Generous portions of rice and salad but contrary to other reviews, the portions of meat were smaller than expected. That being said, each of the meats were very flavorful. The samosas were delicious also. read more

Delicious kabobs and gyros. Order online and the food is always ready for pickup a few minutes later. We typically get two meals out of each dinner order. Great value. I'm glad this place is just a 2-mile drive from our house. read more

The best spot for kabobs in Reston, hands down. We've moved to the area only a month ago and have already visited half a dozen times. The white sauce cannot be beat, and the chicken platter is my go-to. Carry-out food that doesn't make you feel like trash, with plenty leftover for the next day. read more

Soo much food... They are very generous with the portions. Cashier was quick and our order was ready within 10 mins. Their bread is delicious. So fresh, soft, with a nice bite. Generous portions of rice, salad, and meats of your choice. The gyro platter was packed with meat. I loved the thinly sliced onions that came with it. Their white yogurt sauce and green spicy sauce are great. Though everything is already seasoned well, the sauces really add more flavor to the dishes. We shared it all and had plenty of leftovers. Seating was easy to find since we arrived a couple of mins after opening time. An hour after opening time, this place gets super packed. Especially on weekends. Restrooms are towards the front of the restaurant. Will be back! read more

Uh. Wow. I definitely have to echo the other Yelpers here by saying that this place is totally a hidden gem of culinary pleasure in the Reston neighborhood. It's a little off the beaten path, and you have to know where it is if you intend on finding it, but it's well worth the effort. I have to say that I went in with pretty high expectations based on the other reviews, but that all of those expectations were thoroughly satisfied. First, if you're expecting a fancy dining experience a la Lebanese Taverna, you're not in the right place. This restaurant qualifies in my book as a hole-in-the-wall. There's not much to recommend it in terms of decor or personality. It's like your standard fast food restaurant in terms of a handful of tables and chairs to seat maybe twenty or thirty people at most. Also, unlike true fast food, expect to wait about ten to fifteen minutes for your food to be done after you order. The prices are definitely reasonable, the quantity is excessive (I had my lamb kabob for both lunch and dinner), and the food itself is top notch. There's not much else to say except that the lamb that I ordered was seasoned perfectly, done up just right so it was crusty on the outside but stayed juicy on the inside. The kabob was served over a heaping portion of rice, with a side of simple salad. Would I come back? Most definitely. Would I make it a habit of dining here? Probably not. For a reasonably quick bite of good food that is filling and will leave you with plenty of leftovers, this is an excellent choice. Unless your date is huge into working-class fare ethnic cuisine, you may want to pick a more upscale joint. read more

I ordered two combination platters for carry-out. The man on the phone said it would take 20 minutes. The food was just OK to me, I've been searching all over for an amazing kabob or gyro place in Northern VA, but Reston Kabob didn't stand out to me. The two platters I ordered were the chicken kabob platter and the gyro platter. Each platter comes with rice, bread, and a salad. The good- the bread is piping hot when I picked it up, so I knew it was fresh. It was huge, too! Two slices with my 2 platters. The rice was a blend of two different types (not sure which). +Brown sauce. Which was spicy, definitely had a kick. The bad- the "salad" is the laziest salad. I'm not a huge fan of iceberg lettuce, but this salad was literally just that. And a slice of tomato thrown on top. Could be better or come with a dressing of some sort to spice it up? +White sauce: wasn't consistent. Mine was much too mint-y tasting, my companion's tasted a lot better. The chicken kabob was average,and the gyro gave you a lot of meat but was a OK imo too. read more

Reston Kabob - Chicken kabob platter (far back), gyro platter - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Everything tasted good, but the lamb was exceedingly tough/chewy. Maybe find a new supplier?

Don't waste your money!! This is ridiculous how ugly they make food and even they don't have any idea about how food should looks like. One squares kabob comes with a little rice, salad and chickpeas!! Awful look food kababs are broken in few pieces. Here my 4 combo looks like after a lot of arguments!!! Awful!! I wouldn't buy it if I didn't have to. They have to go one time eat kabab at Shamshiri or Alborz to understand how their food should look like. Beside than that a man who I think was the owner has a ridiculous manner very impolite!! That rudeness upset me more than food. Like I said Don't waste your money just look at these kabobs, rice!! And even they didn't give dressing for salad. read more

My family and I love their kobeeda, I really recommend it, is not as spicy as others places but is flavorful. We order to go or eat there once a week. read more

This place has gone so downhill since they left and come back. The people there are not friendly at all and even after calling in an order they never had it. Their payment system is horrible it doesn't work. Absolutely horrible experience save your time and money into not go there anymore. read more

Welcome back! I'm stoked that these guys are back in Reston. I used to hit this place 2x a week when they were in their old location. The inside is very nicely decorated, food is still delicious, saw the owner (very nice guy) working the register right when I walked in. If anyone of you know about this place from the past, yes they still have the magical green sauce. I also noticed they had a tandoor oven making the all bread fresh as well. read more

Overpriced. Chicken and lamb combo platter was much smaller than pictured. Needed more seasoning on the meat and more rice as it was a combo meal. Hummus had zero taste. Took way too long to get our food. From observing it seemed online might have been being made before other orders. read more

Came in a day or two after opening. I liked the blend of basmati rice. That was unique and delicious. As were the lamb kabobs and the chickpeas and the naan was on point. The salad, well, you need to make customers aware that there is going to be dressing on the salad. I, for one, don't like dressing on my salad -- any salad. I prefer it on the side so I can put on how much I want, if any. But nowhere did it say dressing comes on the salad. It should be noted on your menu or on some signage so customers can say, please leave the dressing off or put it on the side. I didn't know that and got my food to go. By the time I noticed I was already home and unhappy that this nasty tasting dressing was all over the salad and impeding into the rice and kabobs. I'll remember that for the future. I will definitely be back, I want to ask about a specific combo and also to eat in so I can have dessert. I'm glad I live close. Highly recommend to management to put up signage about the dressing or anything that tops an entree that isn't automatically apparent. read more

Very low thrills restaurant, but very tasty food! Big warm fluffy pitas served with delicious and generous portions of perfectly seasoned and wonderfully succulent gyro meat = I am a happy camper. Also, that white sauce, yes. Just yes. Also please and thank you. read more

Reston Kabob - Gyro platter to go - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I'm not that familiar w Reston restaurants.. was craving kabob and my friend recommended this place. Pros: large portions! I have enough leftover for dinner... and I'm a girl that likes to eat! I definitely could not have finished it in one sitting. I am able to do that at Moby Dick :/ I got the chicken breast and beef kubideh; both were moist and well-seasoned. The platter comes w rice, chick-peas, salad and naan bread. Everything was great.. will definitely be coming back!! read more

For having so many solid 4 star yelp reviews, I expected a bit more! This little place is hidden near the Reston Westin. Parking isn't an issue and there is plenty of seating inside. Their menu is limited to Lamb/Beef Gyros and Kabobs - no hummus :( If you get a combo meal which includes rice and a side salad, it can cost up to $14...kinda pricey for lunch. I ordered the Beef/Lamb gyro - the meat tasted very fatty, it was just ok. But the spicy sauce on the gyro gave it that extra kick that it needed. The value is undeniable - $8.39 gets you a gyro bigger than the size of your head. I prefer the little Greek place on Centreville Road for gyros. My personal favorite Med. cuisine in the area? Charcoal Kabob, no question. They have the best pitas, chicken, and stewed veggies ever. read more

Reston Kabob - Huge Beef-Lamb Gyro - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Our favorite place near the house for gyros. We get it as a salad. For us big enough to share. Adore the green spicy sauce on the table. No frills place hiding in the strip next to 7-11... order at the counter and they call your number. Most tables are communal in setup. Gets quite busy after 1130 for lunch. The gyros they serve is kronos brand which I like. Fountain is coke products but they also have Pepsi and coke plus other drinks in bottles... no alcohol. Decent baklava rounds out a meal. Not sure if they have other desserts read more

Pretty good place to get some kabobs and falafels. For vegetarians they have falafels and vegetable kabob. Parking is behind the building and there are no signs on where to park so it can be lil confusing. Food tasted very good. read more

Had the beef kabob with rice and chickpeas. I loved it. The beef was cooked perfectly. The chickpeas were a nice addition. They were a little spicy but not so much I couldn't eat them. We had it delivered and it was still good read more

I waited 1 hour for my food. I love that is fresh but this is unacceptable! Wow! I don't think I'll go back

I ordered the Lamb & Beef combo and both meats were so rough and hard to eat also vastly under cooked. The place is so unorganized the woman behind the counter were confessed and getting orders mixed up i do not recommend this restaurant at all. The food was not very good. Never again. read more

OMG YOU GUYS. Reston Kabob is back!!! If you are thinking it might not be as good well worry not, my hungry friend. It is just as good, if not better. Is that even possible?? I had the usual, chicken kabob platter, my friend the lamb kabob. Came with not one but 2 kinds of rice, bread, salad - real salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, not just sad lettuce - AND chickpeas. The prices are the same as what they were before, and everything is as delicious and fresh as always. And the green sauce... drooooool. Finally, some good news in this difficult time. Parking is a little weird. Its basically in the same place as it was before, but now there are giant buildings all around. You will need to park and walk a few steps but its all good. If you have never tried Reston Kabob, do it now. You will never go anywhere else for Kabobs. read more

Good food, but Holy cow this place is extremely Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

This place never disappoints. We have had several different platters as well as the gyro wrap. Excellent every time.

My daughter & husband had dined there before and really enjoyed the food so since we were in the area around lunch time, we decided to dine there. They were taking all the necessary Covid precautions. We were the only one dining in side around that time. We ordered the combo kabob and gyro sandwich. Food was piping hot and really the best kabobs I had in awhile. There portion were really generous. I would for sure go there again and I hope we support local businesses by taking out more often or by ordering delivery. Restaurant business is hurting a lot during the pandemic read more

Food is good! I like salmon the best and my husband loves the lamb. I'd like to see options for less expensive meals with smaller portions. The platter comes with protein, salad, bread and chickpeas. It's a lot of food, which I'm sure many like, but it's too much for me so I'd rather spend less and get less. Also, parking isn't very convenient for pick up. read more

I'll take a wild guess here and assume that not many DC residents keep a list of take-out options in Reston/Herndon on hand. But I do. When you dine on a semi-regular basis with two kids under the age of five, you learn the importance of being able to eat at home. And who wants to cook on the weekends? Which brings me to my point: Reston Kabob! On Saturday I called in our order which included several kabob platters. They said our food would be ready in 10 minutes. Thankfully, Reston Kabob is just a short drive away. The chicken kabob was fabulously juicy and something I'd love to eat again. The lamb, less so. But then again, I am not the biggest lamb fan in the phone book so. . . I feel obliged to tell you about the bread. EVERYONE at our table was disappointed with the bread. It was not blistery and fabulous. It was not incredibly flavorful. It was lacking. And so lacking was it that everyone at the table remarked on is subpar-ness. Let that be a warning. Additionally, the white sauce (typically yogurt-based) tasted remarkably like ranch dressing. Now, I have nothing at all against ranch dressing, but. . . Portions were hearty and the kabob platters were of good value. The chicken was really terrific. I'd go back for it again. But bread's important to me, especially within the context of a meal like this, and thus my rating. I don't doubt that Reston Kabob is the best kabob shop in all of Reston, maybe even in all of Herndon too, but for me it was just okay. read more

Sometimes I miss my home state VA a lot and sometimes not so much (bipolar weather). But, I know for sure I miss VA's amazing kabob options. Then I reminisce about different kabob establishments... Finally, my mind thinks of Reston Kabob. It's one of those restaurants, which truly comes high on my list of favorite kabob places. Kubieda kabob is a must!!!!! Either chicken or beef, you pick, your choice but order it!!!! They are super busy always, to go and pick up is a great option. Don't forget to get the sauces to go. I don't know what's in them but that they are so addicting and your missing on half the taste if you don't get them. They have a amazing green minty sauce as well as a white cream yogurty sauce which complete the taste with the kubeida kabob. The naans are always fresh and amazing. The portions are big and fulfilling and that's the best part of it. ~ read more

Chicken kabob also thoroughly seasoned. Tried a gyro wrap and while it was wonderfully huge, way too many onions and way too much food even for me. Next time I'm sticking with kabobs. So far this is my favorite kabob joint by a long shot. Minor complaints: service definitely varies depending on the night. I love the staff though, so one night of mushy rice is forgivable after months of impressive consistency. Also, the salad prep person gets lazy every couple months and I end up with tomato stems and lettuce cores in my salad. Grr... Not a fan of the brand of doogh they carry, either. read more

I'm just gonna say one thing: GYRO. Yes yes, I realize the name of this restaurant is Reston Kabob. And don't get me wrong, they have pretty decent kabobs...absolutely above average. But you don't come to Reston Kabob for the kabobs. You come for quite possibly the greatest gyro you'll ever eat outside the Mediterranean. Having lived in the area (Reston/Herndon) for a little over a year now, I had never been to Reston Kabob despite the numerous compliments by my coworker until a few months ago. We finally decided to take a long lunch and drive out there to eat. It absolutely changed my life. I've never seen another place offer a gyro as big as Reston. I've never been to another place where the meat was as tender and flavorful as Reston. And I've never been to any other Gyro or Kabob place that has the "Spicy Sauce", a brown concoction that you can use as much as you want from a bottle at your table...that pretty much tastes like how I imagine Awesome would taste like. I literally have nothing else to say about the restaurant. Seating is always tough, line is always long...everything else on the menu is probably good, but irrelevant because of the orgasmic gyros. I try to eat here whenever I can now. read more

My husband and I swear by Rose Kabob. Their chicken is pretty damn moist and flavorful. He has built this spot up to his co-workers and upon trying it, their response was, "meh." His Afghan co-worker didn't like it at all and recommended Reston Kabob. We ended up here on a Sat. evening after a long day at Shenandoah for dinner with his co-workers. Order at the front, take a seat, and pick up your food at the counter when your name is called. The menu is above the cash register. Plates range from $10 to $15. Ryan S. and I ordered the chicken kabob plate which comes with salad, a choice of brown (looks more like Mexican rice) and/or white rice, and bread. Everyone was good except that brown rice. I didn't touch it and instead, gave it to my husband, the human garbage disposal. Bread is on point. Now how does it stack up against Rose Kabob? Close but we'll stick to RK. Reston Kabob is great if you want a no frills restaurant. read more

My Lord do we love this place! Could eat a gyro from here everyday and my wife lives the chicken kabob. The cucumber yogurt sauce is great and the restaurant is very generous of you ask for more. I also love the chickpeas and samosas. It is our go to restaurant if we need dinner. read more

Kabobs galore here and you can't really go wrong here. SX and I have tried a variety of things here, pretty much everything except for the chicken kobeeda (ground chicken kabob). The portion size here is quite generous. The kabobs here are juicy, tender, and flavorful. The top choices being the chicken and the lamb, in my opinion. Each kabob platter comes with two types of rice, a simple salad (tomato, iceberg), and freshly made bread.They don't offer grilled tomatoes or onions here like other kabob joints do. Even the gyro wrap is huge and tasty, that send you into a food coma afterwards. The only thing I've encountered is the side of chickpeas can be slightly inconsistent at times. Sometimes the chickpeas have been stewing for slightly longer at times, giving a better texture and becoming more flavorful. This place offers two sauces, a yogurt one and a spicy one. Both are great and the spicy definitely gives a nice kick of heat. If you get your meal to go, make sure you don't leave the place without sauces at hand. This place gets packed during the weekday lunch hour, so call ahead to order if you want to save on time. read more

Reston Kabob - Chicken and Lamb Kabob platter - Afghan Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I just had this for lunch/dinner.. I was looking for a place near one of my jobs in Reston and I saw this place get great reviews. This is my first time trying kabobs I believe.. and I wasn't too impressed. Total came out to $9.44 for chicken kabobs.. comes with salad, tomatos, white and brown rice, bread, and of course, the chicken. Drink was extra. The meat tasted good.. had about 5 or 6 pieces of chicken in it.. and the rice was pretty good too (only because I added the sauces that they give you when you carryout) I got my food 'to go'... and inside the bag.. there were no napkins or untensils. am I supposed to eat the rice with my hands? I'm dressed up because my job is in an office setting.. eating rice with my hands would seem odd. Food = 4 stars Lack of napkins/utensils.. and $10 cost = 2 stars Average = 3.. and I'm being generous. read more

Still friggin delicious but on my last visit they stopped putting the bottles of sauce out on the tables because people were stealing them. I know they're good but DAMN! You can still get them by asking at the counter. Reston Kabob, you do not lose a star for hiding your delicious bottles of ambrosia. Your CUSTOMERS lose 5 stars for being so ghetto. Humanity, you disappoint me again. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant!! I order from here probably at least once a week and it's perfect every time! The people working there are so nice and the food is amazing. read more
