    Boneless Chicken Breast kabobs (sub extra rice instead of salad)
    Jill C.

    Based on some other Yelp reviews, I decided to check K Kabob House out when I was in the area last and craving some kabobs. To avoid waiting around inside the restaurant, I opted to place an order online via their website. I thought it would be more convenient, but the lengthy process that required me to register and create an account in order to place a simple one-off order was a bit excessive. (Offer a guest checkout if someone is simply placing an order to-go; you don't need my home address if you're not delivering!) After finalizing my online order at last, it quoted me a pickup time in 12 minutes. Not too bad for made-to-order food. In my order, I added instructions for each of the two entrees: no chickpeas and double rice for one; no chickpeas and no salad - just rice - for the second. It was only until I returned home to find the second entree had double salad--a clear misinterpretation of the request. A minor inconvenience, but for those with food allergies I caution the staff to read instructions a bit more carefully for safety sake. Pickup was fast and easy. Friendly guy at the counter greeted me and handed me my food that had just been prepared and bagged. It remained fresh and warm for the car ride home, so I didn't need to reheat. Bonus! I had the boneless chicken breast kabobs and my husband had the combo of chicken and lamb. Both were very flavorful, juicy, fresh. A slightly smaller portion of chickpeas than I'm used to, but I blame it on the compartment in the plastto-go container. Nice large crusty pieces of naan, but I wish there was more than one sauce included with each entree. It was delicious, but their sauce is a little thin/watery compared to some others so it was entirely gone by the 4th or 5th bite. I had half my naan but no sauce left! So ask for a third ramekin if you like it in every bite like I do! All in all, I'd definitely return here. Solid Afghan-style kabob place that probably doesn't get as much foot traffic as it should due to its corporate office park location across from the more prominent Chantilly shopping center.

    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
    Michael G.

    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.
    Linda B.

    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.

    Really good, but next time I want to try some different items…read more I ordered the Garlic naan 6/10 not much flavor and the Briyani butter chicken. Although good, I really love saucy rice so I might have to try the Butter chicken independently. I'm also going to try a more standard briyani like the goat one. Overall, I will definitely give this spot another try. We ordered a to go meal. It took around 10-15 mins to prepare. A very casual looking spot.

    BEWARE: This restaurant is extremely DISHONEST and is all about false advertising - so gross in…read morethem being super deceiving to its patrons! Their site clearly states that they have dine-in lunch special where one could 'order any of your favorite entree items & get $3 off) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. The staff, however, argued that it was for 'online orders only' (come on, no where on their site does it state this), and that since 'management was not present', they could provide a discount for 'one entree only' (while continuing to repeat that it was for 'online orders' only, as if they were doing a service for us - please). Meaning, they weren't willing to own up, honor, and rectify their false advertisements. Make this make sense, folks. Not sure if their recent renovation situation went to their heads, but shady and super sus business practices. Shame on you! This is not a good look, Charcoal Chicken, so no thank you - you lost a longtime customer. +DISHONEST +POSTS FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS

There was a burger and chips option but when I requested it they told me that just don't have it. No reason why. They don't have plastic cups for kids either. We ended up getting the beef noodle soup, a noodle dish with beef and a few lamb and chicken kebabs. The beef noodle soup had no flavor / it tasted like water with chillies. The beef noodles were over cooked and needed salt or something. The lamb kebabs were chewy and the chicken kebabs were way too spicy. The wait time for the food took 30 minutes and while I am pretty patient - it was not worth the wait. The servers were non- existent and I had to constantly ask for napkins, water, take away boxes. The only time I saw them Was when I called them to order and then called to pay. They should not work in the service industry as a smile goes along way but clearly they hate customers. There was just no attempt to be nice at all and they were not very accommodating with questions. Let me not even get started on the bathroom. It was dirty and there was no loo paper. Give this place a skip. It's just not worth the time and the money you will spend there.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

I also had the chicken samosa. More flat in presentation then typical types. still tasted good with the green sauce on side. About 6 pieces? You will be stuffed after finishing both. Price $30+
