Very friendly service! Delicious food! I had dolmehs & a Mediterranean salad with chicken kabob. The chicken was so tender & the portions were too large to finish! Nice atmosphere, too! Playing old school crooners the whole time! Highly recommend! read more

Sorrento Grill - Mediterranean Salad with Chicken Kabob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

The staff was incredibly kind and respectful. I ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate and it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Good. This grill is the only reason I'm here, service is "go to the counter" type. Decor hasn't changed in a while but it's not old looking. I liked the hummus as it's presented as two boobs with olive nipples, funny. read more

Great food and ambiance and service. Love the chicken and beef kabobs. The vegetarian salad sampler was a nice start too. See you soon.

Recently had the vegetarian salad sampler and everything was fresh and tasty! There was enough for 3 of us to share it as a light lunch. Delicious! Can't wait to try the kebab! read more

Been coming here for 10 years now and they are held their food to a high standard. Still takes as good as it did back in the day!

My partner and I picked up our food for takeout. The employee at the front was courteous and promptly brought out our order. We ordered the ground chicken kabob and the ground beef kabob meals, both were delicious! read more

"Hidden Gem" in the mist of wanna be flavorful. I had Sorrento Grill a while back with my little sister. I never got around writing a review. This place deserves so much attention and praise !!! We had the gyro wrap and of course the mighty lamb shank. Everything was delicious and fresh. If you are hangry and need something delicious, check them out! You WILL NOT be disappointed read more

We stopped in here for lunch this afternoon. The staff was very friendly. For a starter we ordered the falafel appetizer with tahini. It was tasty. My husband and I shared the kabob platter with chicken and kubideh and the gyro platter. The gyro was the star of the proteins. I prefer the chicken over kubideh and my husband was the opposite. Everything was really good. We agreed it was some of the best Mediterranean food we have had in the area. read more

Wow for $60 for 3 plates of kebab meat (2x filet allegedly and 1 chicken) rice and some veggies I was expecting some good flavor instead the whole family was let down by the food that was served in styrofoam plates, plastic cups, and plastic utensils. The filet didn't taste right or good and the same for my wife's chicken which she only ate a little bit of. We were the only patrons in the establishment during the whole time at dinner. This is one of the first times Yelp reviews let us down. The place was clean, service was friendly. read more

Very friendly woman at the front counter! Food was very good, specifically the ground chicken kebab and the grilled vegetables. I thought it was strange that there was a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce on every table, but it was pretty tasty on the rice. Lots of filler to the dish with an abundance of salad and rice. Overall very happy with the dinner! read more

I absolutely love the food here. It was fresh and delicious. You order prior to sitting down. They are rather fast at getting food out. Everything was served hot. The portions are large, I couldn't finish my portion. They give you a heaping serving of rice, grilled veggies with onion and pita bread. As far as the restaurant itself it is small but quaint. Everything was clean. The lady at the register was kind and helpful. read more

Honestly, the only positive thing I have to say is that they must have a sense of humor given the way they present their hummus appetizer as two boobs complete with olive nipples. Unfortunately, the hummus had no flavor whatsoever. We ordered the chicken and beef combo and again, no flavor. Rice was also very bland and slightly overcooked. Service was non existent other than the lady who you took our order. Not sure why they ask for a tip when they don't bring the food to you and you have to get your own plasticware, napkins and drink. On a positive note, the Coke was good. read more

I knew of Sorrento Grill's existence but never thought of trying it. That all changed when I saw Yelp friend Mo M.'s ROTD. In these days of COVID, we've been getting take out and wanted to expand on our list of restaurants where we can place orders. With all the good reviews here and a look at their menu, we knew we wanted to give them a try. So, we placed our order through Door Dash. We both ordered the filet mignon kabob with saffron basmati rice and roasted vegetables. As we were concerned that the meat might be overcooked, I added to the request part of the order "medium rare". I figured that would send a message that said "please don't cook the meat to death". The order arrived in a timely fashion. It smelled so good that we just about couldn't wait to dig into it. What surprised us is that it didn't look like what we considered a kabob to be, which is cubes of meat on a skewer. Instead, it was a long and narrow piece of meat. We really enjoyed this meal! The meat, while not medium rare, was medium well but still very tender and flavorful. The rice had enough moisture and there was a tinge of saffron. The grilled veggies consisted of zucchini, a wedge of onion and 2 tomato quarters. They were all perfectly cooked. I gave my husband most of my onion as I wondered if it was properly grilled. It turned out that it was properly done and the grilling did give it a nice flavor---which took away the pungency. Next time, I'll keep my portion. The order also included several pieces of toasted pita triangles which had the consistency of a cracker. There was a cucumber mint yogurt dipping sauce which worked very well with the pita. We most definitely will be ordering this dinner again from Sorrento Grill! read more

It's the first Friday of Lent and my hubby and I were pondering what we wanted to eat. Offering suggestions to each other we both at the same time said Sorrento's Grill‼ It has been a favorite of ours for a long time, but you really can't beat their Salmon Kabob Platter. We eat a lot of fish in our diet but Sorrento's Salmon Kababs are so wonderful! The meat is tender and not dried out. The outside seasoning is just amazing and they grill it so it is cooked to perfection. I hate to take a bite of salmon with anything else except their wonderfully cooked rice because I hate to miss any of the flavors of the salmon and it's seasoning. The seasoning does not overpower the tasty bites of salmon but compliments it beautifully. Though they have lots of options, which we have enjoyed over the years, I would have to say the Salmon Kabob Platter is our absolute favorite. So if you are searching for a great fish meal during Lent, I would highly recommend Sorrento Grill. They have other options like salads and wraps you can enjoy. Bon Appetite everyone! read more

Sorrento Grill - Front entrance to Sorrento Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I love the food and vibe here, mainly because the food is so fresh. I care about healthy ingredients, cleanliness and service reliability so from that regard I would give Sorrento 10 stars if I could. read more

Nice environment and friendly front desk. My friend and I ordered the chicken and koobideh combo, along with the lamb kabob. Unfortunately, the food was tasteless, no spice and full of extra oil instead of butter. The rice especially lacked the distinct aroma and flavor of true basmati, which was disappointing compared to other Mediterranean or Persian spots nearby. Anyone familiar with this type of cuisine will understand the difference. Spent $50 for nothing. read more

Well, just to remind you that I'm a former native NYer, to Brooklyn, I might add. My years after college were spent in Brooklyn Heights, around the corner from Atlantic Avenue, known as Brooklyn's middle-eastern gastronomic headquarters. My bedroom window was right across from where Sahadi's Pita Bakery was located. So when I tell you that I KNOW good middle-eastern food, take me at my word. So now let's talk about Sorrento Grill. Can you see where my fusion/confusion stems from? Sorrento is a wonderful southern Italian city on the Amalfi coast. Ok... well, this place bills itself as a Mediterranean food place, serving kabobs, falafel, hummus, etc. Italy does jut into the the Mediterranean. So.... Ok, so the food.... Had a falafel wrap, which didn't at all taste like falafel. But in the realm of looking like the real deal, I guess I'll allow it. The inside was green, so not sure if chickpea flour was used. But it was green. Aside from that, it tasted ok, not what I was hoping for, but not bad at all. The balsamic vinegar drizzled on the wrap really confused me, though. We had some "eggplant dip" which in Middle-Eastern cuisine is called, babaganough. But it didn't have any tahini sauce, or lemon juice, or much garlic in it, if at all. We were disappointed in that. It looked like/tasted like roasted eggplant, with some spices added. The decor was very clean, modern, take-out ambiance. Menu was up above the ordering counter, as well as the kind to sit down & peruse at your leisure. The bread was probably the very best part. No disappointment there. The food was tasty, just not what I was craving This is a place-your-order-at-the-register, then pick-up-your-order-later place. Fill your drink at the side cooler tap. So there's no table service. The menu looked very varied, flowing between "Mediterranean", American, a bit of Italian (Tiramisu made an appearance on the desert menu!) It was pretty ethnic-fluid. read more

Hands down my favorite Kabob place (almost wanted to keep that to myself, but I'm all for supporting local)! This has been the tried and true place for my family ever since we moved to the DMV over a decade ago! We always order the Kabob Kubideh (which is ground beef), and they have never changed the quantity or quality of food! Give this place a try if you're ever in town! read more

Sorrento Grill - ground beef kabob (kubideh) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Fantastic take-out lunch. Ordered and paid on line (super easy process on their website) and picked up in person. I wish I had taken a photo, because the presentation was very appealing -- bright colors with fresh everything. I had the Lamb Gyro Platter -- it was really outstanding. I liked noticing that a few local police officers were having their lunch inside the restaurant when I arrived to pick up my meal. It's always a great endorsement when you see cops eating in a restaurant -- it's like eating in an airport and noticing there are pilots/flight attendants in a restaurant. They know where the good (local) food is! read more

I hate writing bad reviews but the food was gross. The chicken came out and it looked fake! I was excited because from a distance you could tell everything was made fresh to order but alas the chicken was gross and I ate half and just threw in the towel. I was hoping with more tazaki sauce it would get better....it didn't. Intially they brought us some fresh naan bread and Tazaki sauce I assumed we were winning. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend. Service was good and the place was clean. read more

Over price for the portion of the food. The service is good and the restaurant environment is nice. read more

This restaurant is great for dine in, but it's also very good to order and pick up. I highly recommend their suit dish.. they also have daily menu specials which you should check out. They have outdoor seedings and the restaurant layout looks like there's a balcony, but there is no upstairs balcony. read more

the place has great food, was a clean restaurant, had kind service. I will definitely come again!

This place kinda reminded me of Moby Dick House of Kabob. The restaurant is pretty casual with a counter to order food at, with tables and booths spread around. The food is not served to the table, it's picked up at the cashier area. The rice is always so fluffy and meats are juicy and flavorful. Service wise, the lady at the counter is very nice and friendly. The food here is just simply amazing. Don't pass off on an opportunity to get authentic Persian-style kabob at an excellent price! read more

Cute little strip mall eatery had the chance to visit while in the Herndon area! Staff is very nice and accommodating, the food portions are phenomenal! We ordered the Lamb chop "salad", not what i was expecting!!! It was a lot of food, the chops were cooked very well... the flavors were delicious!! No pictures hut its a definite MUST TRY!! read more

This place is great. I love their daily specials, even though I've tried one, the chicken thigh with flavorful sauce. I was expecting it to be more expensive, but it was only $14. My friend ordered a mix kabob, and the meat was so juicy and not dry at all. The food came out quick and hot. We really enjoyed the meal. Only down side is that they were using Styrofoam plates. It would be nice if the restaurant uses real plates, less trash for the landfill. read more

Food is good Ambiance ok Service nonexistent , foam plates. no kidding. Even fast restaurants gave up using styrofoam years ago. read more

Mediocre in every way. They ask for a tip at the counter and then call out your name and stare at you when the food is ready (we were the only people in the restaurant). The red pepper humus has no flavor and the steak and chicken platter was completely unmemorable. read more

Super cute lunch spot near my office. I ordered chicken breast with bread and flavor and portion were great. It comes with a side of cucumber yogurt sauce. If you love sumac as much as i do ask and they will give you a to-go packet if not it's not included in your takeaway food. Will def come back again as food was fresh and healthy! read more

I have walked past this restaurant dozens of times and decided to give it a try with a to go order. I walked into a nearly empty restaurant and ordered two salmon kebab dinners to go. Prices are above average. My order was ready in about 15 minutes. I must start off with some of the most tasty pita bread I have ever had and very warm, with unique unique texture. The rice was a mix of white and yellow rice a little firm but a huge serving. The salmon kebabs were wonderful and they were prepared perfect. The cube sizes were rather small but very tasty in a very light marinade, that had a very light taste. The cucumbers and tomato slices were each char grilled and juicy but not to much to eliminate their natural flavor. They had outdoor seating as well but it was a little too cold it was not set up. The restaurant is nice inside with adequate seating and chairs and a charming atmosphere read more

Just an average Mediterranean restaurant in the Clock tower of Herndon. The food as prepared is Americanized version Mediterranean menu, brought down on spices and without those amazing hummus, tahini, pickles that are originally used. I prefer those components. I Ordered chicken kebab with rice base and few veggies that comes with it. The ingredients - as included where freshly cooked & served. But some of those components - such as boiled and roared zoocini, large sized semi cooked onions on platter are not part of original Mediterranean food. I derive my Mediterranean food - originals from Naf naf grill, the halal guys, Lebanese Taverna - nothing close to those. read more

We stopped in here for a quick lunch. I ordered a Chicken Kabob/Salad combination - low carb (no rice or bread). So they give you extra vegetables. Food was cooked to order - so it was not as "quick" as we were hoping for. But it was tasty! read more
