First of all I need to know what kind of sorcery they are doing to that chicken because how do they get chicken breast THAT tender?? Juicy, flavorful, not dry at all. Seriously so good. The lamb had really good flavor too but mine was a little overcooked and a few pieces took more chewing and determination than I wanted to give them. Brown rice was delicious. Definitely not one of those sad side dishes you ignore. Now the chutney... I like to add a little salt, tear off pieces of the Afghan bread and dip away. So good. Add some sumac if you like a little sour kick and squeeze lemon over the kabobs. I really liked the open grill too. I swear I got put into a little trance watching the fire dance around the meat and hearing the occasional singe as the juices hit the flames. I know. What a geek lol. Chicken and lamb combo was $26 plus tax and a bottle of Coke Zero was $3.99, which apparently is where we are in life now. Almost four dollars for a bottle of Coke Zero. Fine. Take my money. Would have been a solid 5 if the lamb was a little more tender but that chicken? Yeah I'm coming back for you.

Not sure it's the people or the Grill or what the issue is. But super annoying to have your food come out all burnt, especially since I don't look at it before I take it. Probably my fault, but even though I don't think I would complain.

Usually Ragz and I share the double platter - 2 rows of either chicken breast pieces or the minced chicken with rice, salad and chickpeas. Platters are served with a massive piece of naan style bread as well. Their chicken is always moist and tastes good - thankfully the taste has remained consistent over the years. The rice has 2 flavors - a plain one and a flavored one. I like mixing them both together. The chickpeas are also tasty. The bread can be a lot honestly - we usually don't end up finishing it. Ragz really likes their beef kobideh too. Ambiance - I will be honest, I don't always feel comfortable going here by myself. It's usually filled with older looking men who sometime stare. I either order takeout and quickly rush in and rush out, or Ragz picks it up. I have also seen the owner be kind short with the folks that work here - mostly immigrant students and I really hope they get paid okay

The cookies (Franki's) are exceptional, especially as they are fresh and made-to-order. Sadly,…read moreYelp did not provide an entry for Franki's Cookies, and I feel lazy at the time of writing this review; thus I lack the requisite energy to fill out an "add business" query. Likewise, Franki's Cookies (and several other businesses) fall into the Yasmine business conglomerate (and in the case of Tysons, are located at the same place). The food is very close to 3.75 out of 5 stars. The portions, seasoning, execution, and ingredients are all a slam dunk. Though a bit pricey at first glance, it is most certainly a bargain for what you get. The shwarma sandwiches, in particular, are quite enjoyable. The only item I tend to go back and forth on is the hard pita chips. Update: I had initially wagered this restaurant would increasingly become part of my regular rotation, but have reneged after a second occasion in which an item in my take-out order was forgotten (though I will note the host was prompt and courteous in offering a refund); and following a sit-down visit to Joon. I had high hopes for Joon given my positive evaluations of Franki's Cookies (4/5) and Yasmine (3.5/5), but my experience was completely to the contrary. As Joon is the feature experience of the collective, it is hard to consider what once was, in the same manner.
