    A great authentic restaurant nearby the Air & Space museum. Took my dad out to the museum and we stopped in after. Like one of the other reviewers, I also served in Afghanistan and likewise I fell in love with their food dishes as well. I am especially fond of their spicy yogurt sauces. This restaurants sauce, did not disappoint. With its sweet flavor followed by a kick of spice I like it a lot. We ordered, lamb, beef and chicken kabobs. Food is made to order and each dish came out cooked to perfection. Packed full of flavor, the meat tasted great. We also ordered hummus and enjoyed that as well as the baklava which was amazing tasting. Seriously I'll probably come back just for that tasty dessert because I'm still thinking about days after. We ended up eating in and taking the rest to go because it's a lot of food. During that time I got to speak to the family and share about my time overseas as well as listen to their stories. The cook even came out to ask how our food was. Overall the service was great and I'd visit again the next time in over in chantilly.

    Good stuff. Had K Kabob House bookmarked for awhile and finally got a chance to try it out. Placed an order online, which was simple and straightforward. The employee was friendly and our takeout order was neatly wrapped. Their kabobs are flavorful and overall we enjoyed our meal. I wouldn't say this is our ultimate favorite place to pick up kabobs but I'm still glad we visited. If you're in the area, this is a nice option to have.

    Lamb Kebab

    I served in Afghanistan and fell in love with the food. Simple and delicious is the only way to describe the lamb kebab. The lamb was tender, charred to perfection, and full of flavor. The chickpeas are the best I've ever had (many places just lack any real flavor... these don't). The long rice was really good and, as always, paired great with the lamb. The bread was great and the sauce carried a good spicy aftertaste to it. The owners were very friendly. Be patient and dine in is my recommendation... it's the only way to eat something that should be enjoyed fresh. Really really good experience here, I'll miss it as I fly home tomorrow.

    Very dry chicken kabob with flavorless salad and strange tasting chickpeas.

    I truly wanted to like the food from this restaurant especially after reading many rave reviews from others. I ordered for the first time at this restaurant through DoorDash and had high hopes that were quickly dashed. We ordered the chicken breast kabobs which were completely dry and flavorless. The spinach was just OK, but nothing great. The hummus was over the top overloaded with garlic, the Afghan soup was a strange soup made with ramen noodles, and the Afghan salad was overpowered with onions. Will NOT be ordering from here again and it's a shame.

    I wish the location was in Centreville or a main strip mall, this place deserves better reviews and food traffic. It's off of route 28 across from hooters and the other eateries, next to tropical smoothie! It's a small quaint space and like I said, it deserves more foot traffic. The gentlemen is so very polite and I believe he is the only running it from what I can tell, he'd take the order and then go to the back and start cooking everything. The quality and flavor of the meat and chickpeas are delish! It's different at every kabob house or places that serve shwarma/kubbideh, I like the chickpeas more at Kabob express because the spice it kicks. BUTT, the chickpeas here tasted so creamy or smooth, I don't know how to explain it but please get an extra side of this. It tasted very subtle, not salty at all, just a little sweet.

    First time experience- not impressed. The overall aesthetic/ vibe is dirty, lackluster, and lazy. This place has 40 reviews with a 4 star average, so I'm hoping that my experience was atypical. There was only 1 customer while I was placing my order. I tried the chicken kabob, and it was flavorless. I think Kabob Express in Centreville is significantly better and worth the drive, if you're craving kabobs.

    Their food was AMAZING! My hubby and I were coming from the gun show and decided to try a new spot & it was my pick this time!! I love kabobs and wanted a real meal (not fast food) and not something that would take over an hr to be served. It was just that! Food was ready in 15 min, cooked perfectly and full of FLAVOR ( yes more than most spots I've tried)! You would think they weren't busy but they had a huge catering order for over 200 ppl and still got us in with ease. We enjoyed our meals (the deluxe kabob meal) & the naan was delish! Also had a nice chat with the guy working the register and he said they have other locations! We will be trying them as this is our new favorite spot!

    This food is the best! Spices are perfect! Very satisfying and just got appetizers! Definitely recommend this food.

    Food was really good. I ordered the variety of kabobs to share with a friend and the owner was very kind to offer an extra plate with some extra rice. The food was delicious and everything was cooked perfectly. My favorite was the lamb, but it usually is when restaurants offer it. I would definitely go back if I the area again and highly recommend.

    Delicious food all around. Authentic Afghan flavors and presentation. Anytime I'll be going to Dulles airport, I'll be sure to stop off over here. This place is close by and truly a gem. If you want real flavorful kabob and Palau, you have to visit an authentic Afghan restaurant, wherever they are. The others just aren't up to par.

    First time at this place from hearing people talk about it forever ago !…read more I decided to stop After Work, nobody really in the place but the cashier was really nice and helpful , the food was tasty I will be back .

    I won't be be super harsh on them cuz the staff was nice and friendly. The girl at the register was…read morenew and training I think. She was very nice and helpful with me ordering my food for the first time. Now to the bad part. I've heard a bunch about this place and maybe it was hyped up a lil too much but I was disappointed with the food. I got the classic chicken salad croissant sandwich with couple sides. The broccoli side was pretty good. Tasted solid but I feel like it would be better hot or at least w melted cheese instead of just cold shredded pieces on top. The Mac cheese was just plain cheap microwaved stuff with bland runny sauce n no extra cheese on top. And then the sandwich. I've been obsessed w chicken salad sandwichs (specifically on a croissant) since my older brother used to work at Vie De France back in the 90's. I was excited to try this and it wasn't horrible or even bad but it wasn't great. The croissant was prob the worst part. Its like not a real croissant, it reminded me of something u would get on an airplane. It wasn't flaky and just kinda tastes like white bread. The chicken salad was also mid at best. Very bland and unimpressive Specially at almost 20 bucks for the platter. Maybe I should try one of the other kind. And I will. I'll give this place one more try. Maybe I'll update this then. But for now I do not recommend.
