The workers at VA Kabob House treat you as a dear friend, not just a customer. I was able to interact meaningful, although briefly with the workers and owner there, they are super nice and good people. Needless to say, all their food is perfectly seasoned and flavored, not too salty. The lamb kabob is very tender, has no meat odor at all, it just melts in your mouth, it's that good. The eggplant side dish is also delicious, and is freshly made, as all of their side dishes. I particularly enjoyed the rice, which is served very warm, the brown spice on the rice is perfectly pungent, it bring out the flavor of the rice. I wish this restaurant is nearby so I can eat chicken or lamb kabob everyday! Prices are reasonable.

Got a combo of chicken kabob and shami kabob along with a side of their borani banjan/eggplant dish. The eggplant was honestly one of my favorite things- it's a must get in my opinion. Homey dish with incredible flavors! Their naan is fresh and pairs well with it. The chicken was good, but I've had better honestly. The shami was a little disappointing as I expected more flavor and it was slightly dry, but good. Their rice was so tasty and I loved the sweetness coming from the carrots an raisins. Of course, the sheeryakh was great- quite a big portion for one person, but I loved the texture. It tastes very similar to the Indian/South Asian/Pakistani ice cream, "Kulfi." CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK: Service needs improvement. The whole time I was there I had to keep looking for waiters to make eye contact with to ask for menu, water, paying, etc. It took about 10 min or more for me to have to call a busy waiter over just to look at the menu- no one came over on their own. Things just took time for a Saturday night- plus they were hosting an event on top of this. Needless to say, I've never had service like this, but the vibe and food made me be not as harsh. Despite the service, this place is a must try for authentic Afghan cuisine. Can't wait to try more of their menu (and the borani banjan again) in the future!

Unfortunately, this restaurant didn't live up to my expectations…read more When we arrived the dining room felt very humid and sticky which made it uncomfortable to sit and eat. We were also a party of five but were only given one menu to share so not very convenient. I ordered the Chicken & Shami Kabob and it came with a choice of white or brown rice, one side, and naan. The meal looked nothing like the photo on the restaurant's website. The portion was overwhelmingly rice with very little meat. None of the garnishes shown in the picture were included on the rice. For $24 I expected a much better presentation and a more balanced portion. Oh and the meat was kind of dry. Parts of our order were missing, some dishes that came out were incorrect. The experience felt disorganized and the food didn't justify the price.

The food court wasn't particularly busy, but everyone working was just standing around on their phones the whole time. The man working the grill and who handed me my phone was pretty friendly and accommodating though, when I asked for an extra fork and he gave me extras on all of the cutlery. But the food was really good! I got the salmon salad, which at $19.99 came out to $21.99 after tax. I thought the prices seemed steep but if the food is healthy and fresh enough, I can justify it. It turned out to be a pretty good amount of food--the salad greens were fresh, the salmon portion was large and freshly grilled, and everything came with a warm flat bread, tzaziki-like sauce, pickled chili sauce of sorts, and a chickpea soup. Everything tasted great.
