    Lamb mandi
    Latifa H.

    We went here for dinner + hookah since I love Mandi food. I got the lamb Mandi which was amazing and I would just go back for that. The hookah is great and very reasonably priced ($20) with heated outdoor seating. The place is open till 4 am and has music and is usually packed so great for alcohol free nightlife (no alcohol since it's a halal place). I have also gotten chicken Mandi from here and it's not that great. So I would only recommend their lamb dishes

    Chicken and salmon chucks with rice.

    I tagged this place to visit on yelp. So, I took a ride to Annandale from Woodbridge today. It was not worth it. There are too many like places near me that are so much better. When I arrived one other person entered who was picking up food. That was it during the next 20 minutes while I was there. This made me leery. Yummy Kabob had an odor; and not the spicy aromas I grew accustomed to from middle eastern restaurants. (I know, I should have left. But, I came so far, and their ratings were high). The place was freezings, so I waited in my car for my food. I ordered a combination of chicken and salmon kabobs, chickpeas, and yellow rice. Overall, the food was unremarkable, not bad, but not great. Instead of the chickpeas I ordered they gave me spinach. Unfortunately, I was home before I discovered this. Last, I was disappointed that I did not get that signature bread. Bottom line, it pays to really examine reviews, and not look at the overall rating before you tag them to visit.

    Yummy Kabob feels completely refreshed after the renovation. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the food is very delicious and flavorful. It's a great spot to visit, especially in the summer.

    My forever favorite will be the tonkotsu kakuni belly ramen the broth of the Tonkotsu is flavorful and I keep coming back to this place because I cannot find somewhere that can beat it.

    Food is delicious as always, the price on the menu online made sense and then I got my bill and it was way more than what it said online. Will probably go back but not sure why the price changed when I paid. Service was pretty slow as well which I don't usually mind but it wasn't busy.

    Outdoor patio
    Marissa D.

    Good food, kind of awkward experience. I had been wanting to try this place because it's in such an unusual location and it's near the Cross County Trail (not a lot of businesses are). They really seemed like they didn't want me to eat there. They handed me the food to go when I wanted to eat it there. I asked if there was some kind of outside patio where I could eat, and they said no. Then I noticed the cool indoor/outdoor hookah space (which I'd seen online.) I was like, "can I eat there?" They were like ........"oh yeah, sure." I got out there and they turned the music off. Totally strange vibe. This was around 3 pm, so it was definitely a strange time anyway. The shawarma was decent. The pita was perfect, the chicken a little gamey, the garlic sauce was money. I was really surprised to see they're open until 4 am! It must really transform in the evening.

    Wasn't what I expected. Chicken was red & sort of spicy. Flavorful, I just don't eat spicy food so that was off putting. Chickpeas were yummy!

    Chaotic parking, disorganized service, a cluttered outdoor setup, and a great time. Yummy Kabob cafe was one of the most fun and chaotic food experiences I have had in a while. A very chill dining and hookah experience, this place is great for medium and large group sizes. It is also open until 5 am and is great for a late night hangout spot. Now for a spot like this, the food is surprisingly very good. The kabob combo had very flavorful and well cooked chicken and beef kabobs. The chicken over rice was solid as well and the chai was very good especially late at night with a group. I highly recommend this place as a late night joint for fun vibes and good food!

    I found an insect in my food. This is completely unacceptable

    I found a bug in my food. The kitchens are very dirty and filthy. At night, rats and bugs must be throwing parties inside.

    Yummy Hookah Lounge offers a vibrant atmosphere perfect for unwinding with friends. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of being served by Suzan, whose exceptional service truly enhanced my experience. Suzan's attentiveness and professionalism stood out, as she effortlessly catered to our needs and ensured we had a fantastic time. Her warm demeanor and knowledge of the menu further elevated our evening. Overall, Yummy Hookah Lounge provides a top-notch experience, with Suzan's outstanding service being a highlight worth mentioning. Last but certainly Not the least.. their dishes are definitely YUMMY !!!

    for those who live in NoVa and looking for late night eateries - this place's kabobs are really good. I've always been a fan of chicken platters , so their chicken kabob platter is really juicy, I've been here about 3x before writing this review and my chicken made has not been dry so I've been really happy about it. Next, the lamb mandi is oh my god- it just comes off the bone. it's so aromatic, flavorful. highly recommend for those who are afraid that lamb will be more gamey. honestly, it was so tender! also - must order apps include the hummus (if you eat at the restaurant, they give you extra naan) and the falafels are good too!

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.

Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode".

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.
