    So far I like it, love their somosas, they have a small buffet that I want to try, I just haven't had the time to go and see how it is!

    5. Pakoras 1 lb.  2. Vegetable Somosa

    I stopped by for grabbing a quick snack-vegetable pakora and vegetable samosa. Both tasted delicious. Prices were cheap and the portions were large. They had a variety of sweets available too. I wish the store could improve on its interiors and cleanliness. I want to revisit but their level of hygiene puts doubts in my mind. :(

    Chicken Curry, Tandoori Chicken, Naan, Salad, Veggies.

    Was hungry for some Indian or Pakistani food and preferably an affordable lunch buffet. Shiney's did NOT disappoint! Only $12 all u can eat and I enjoyed everything! Samosa's, Chick peas, Fresh baked Naan, salad and many kinds of chicken. All of it was simply falling off the bone and seasoned to perfection, with just the right amount of heat. Even one plate would have been worth the $12 paid (why would you get fast food when you can get good food fast for the same price!), but of course I had to have a 2nd plate. ;-) My favorite was probably the chicken curry but I thoroughly enjoyed everything! Super kind and friendly staff too. It is ramadan so lunch was slow but it's usually bustling apparently. Hope to come back next time I'm in the area!

    Dinner Buffet

    When I saw the buffet from the outside and the gastronomic aromas incited my senses, I knew the food would be great! A relative of mine, drove me to this restaurant and we were greeted with wonderful bakery pastries in the display case. I indulged in the samosas, chana, eggplant, and rice. The samosas here are huge and irresistible. I could not stop eating them. After eating here, you will be dreaming about samosas. At Shiney's the prices are affordable and the portions are huge. The customer service was pleasant and the buffet was organized. Treat yourself!

    I was in the area and craving for Indian desserts. this Pakistani / Indian place have so many selection to choose from and they sell them by pound! I told the man that I don't know what to choose and asked him to recommended me what to get. he just handed me a sample and said, tell me if you like it. that alone is enough for me to ask for a box to fill up with different things, hahaha. really good.

    It's not the cleanest restaurant. They barely put the AC on during the Summer. Service is mediocre. You'll leave smelling like oil. So why the 4 stars? Their food and desserts are on point. My family have been long time customers of this place. This is a no frills restaurant offering Pakistani cuisine that won't hurt your wallet. The weekend buffet is our favorite. Their curries are packed with flavor. The meats are always juicy. We love their Chicken Biryani. The rice is fragrant and I love the bits of orange color in the rice. In addition to the buffet, they also offer a variety of individual dishes. Their samosas are excellent. Make sure you ask for the sauces it's supposed to come with. Shiney's forks out amazing Mithai (sweets). I appreciate that their mithai always taste fresh. They have a bunch on display. I tend to gravitate towards the colorful ones. Point at the ones you want and tell the cashier how many. It's priced according to weight. They also serve homemade kulfi (mango, pista, and malai). There isn't much going on in here as far as service. It's more of a help yourself type joint. If you're dropping in for the buffet, everything is laid out for you. Plastic silverware, cups, paper plates, napkins, and water are within reach. Naan is also included in the buffet. If an employee doesn't bring it out for you, definitely ask for it. When you are done, clear your own table. If you're on a budget, in the mood for authentic Pakistani food in a no frills environment, this place is for you. Warning: You may feel the need to take a long nap after eating here.

    The clientele here are mostly Indian or Pakistani so that's a good sign. I don't know much about Indian sweets besides that most of them are tooth-achingly sweet. The guy work at the front patiently told me what each was made of and I picked a couple based on appearance. I think these desserts are quite photogenic, don't you think? The yellow and the pink one are like really juicy macaroons. The brown one tasted like a cross between a donut hole and a baklava. The orange one tasted vaguely like candied yam. The white square with neon green stripe had the consistency like fudge, but instead of chocolate, it has a milky cheese flavor. I am pleased with this new discovery, and definitely going back for some more next week.

    Butter chicken
    Kamisha W.

    This is probably the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. The butter chicken was extremely oily/greasy and wasn't served with rice. VERY disappointed and disgusted. I am editing this review to include that this was an UberEATS order.

    the best butter chicken I've had in the DMV area.

It did get really busy as we were there and our food took a bit. I think a few people also ordered online for pickup so the order stuff was getting made was unclear. I ordered a smashburger and it was great. Nothing too crazy but very delicious. My brother got the chopped cheese and enjoyed it. The best part was something that we ordered to share, the Chapli Chopped Cheese Loaded fries. It wasn't on their menu boards yet but I had seen it on their instagram and had to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely come back and get those again. It had a great flavor, the sauce was delicious, and the fries were still relatively crispy despite the amount of sauce and toppings. Overall, a great spot that I would recommend to others and will definitely coming back soon!

Also, the gentlemen at the register are always so nice and welcoming! The Burgers (tried all 3): 10/10. The Patriot Burger with double meat tastes like a love child between a hot and fresh In-N-Out burger and a Big Mac. I just finished one and I'm still salivating. The Chopped Cheese: 7/10. They messed up a previous order of this by adding jalapeños to both sandwiches instead of just one and it was too spicy for me. The fries: 8/10. They get cold quickly, but they taste similar to fries from Burger King. They're good and they came with organic ketchup, which I appreciated.

What a find!!! I have to mention the amount of flavors bursting forth before anything else. 1st bite- we were sold. Never said this B4 in a review - these tacos could not have been any better, in any way, than they were here. Juicy and tender, we tried 5 types, the beef birria, goat birria, chicken tinga, chicken+chorizo, and beef tinga. All equally great. Then Sopas chicken tinga, beer birria So fabulous too. Loved every single bite. Small place, very casual with several inside tables, more outside. Sat down for some,carryout for more. Carryout was well packaged- self serve some of the 3 sauces to go to try. Green is avocado/tomatillo mix, red is hotter/sharper, orange (kickin/creamy) good. Decent sized menu but not trying to do everything- smart move. Because everything they do they do extremely well. Before we even left, I said "If we lived here , I'd be coming here almost every week". It's that good. We're both retired chefs and cook at home constantly, but this was something special. Do Not Miss.

As for the food, I think it's a pretty decent afghan style kebab for the price and most of the food portions (except the sauce sides which are tiny, really skimping on them). My husband really likes the grilled lamb and chicken here, so that's why we order from this restaurant, as well the bread and rice. I've had afghani bread several times, I must say this one really competes with places like Lapis and Afghan Bistro McLean, it's truly impressive! I had the tilapia kebab, needed a little bit of salt but that issue was solved when I drizzled with the green sauce! The fish was cooked nicely, the "fishy/sandy" taste that usually tilapia has, was avoided!!!! Props to them! The rice was good as for the chickpeas (that we both ordered) these are a little bit too oily for my liking, but the spices on them were good. The side salad was kind of sad to see, not going to lie, afghani salads usually will be topped with chopped parsley and thinly sliced red onions, but I guess they put the onions on top the kebab so they want to skip them. Even though the restaurant is small and probably has 5 tables total, it's not the prettiest for a sit down restaurant, the purpose is more for a takeout situation which isvery convenient for us, since we live pretty close by, so we might be coming back.

The Reaper slider, however, was intensely spicy-none of us, including my husband and kids, could handle it, living up to its Carolina Reaper reputation.

When I called the phone number listed on both the paid receipt and from Google, I did not reach the restaurant. Instead, the call was answered by a male individual phone comes up from Vienna and did not appear to be affiliated with the restaurant staff on-site. This alone is unacceptable. The individual who answered was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Multiple witnesses overheard the conversation, which has been documented. We were not initially seeking a refund -- only verification of the missing order and whether it could still be picked up. There was zero effort to assist, no accountability, and no urgency to resolve the issue. This level of disorganization and lack of customer service is unacceptable for any restaurant. If Flavor Hive continues to operate this way -- including routing customer calls to unprofessional third parties -- it will absolutely damage the business and its reputation.
