I order to go and had the chicken kabob plate and beef chuck of soup with kidney Beans. The chicken was amazing and the soup was okay but it only had 2 pieces of beef. The chicken was seasoned well and the white sauce it came with was solo good!I took off a star because they gave me the bottom part of the rice that was hard and a little burned. I will definitely go back for some more chicken kabob!

Kabob Bazar delivers a dining experience that is adequate, with moments of culinary delight. While the service is functional, it lacks the attentiveness that elevates a meal into a memorable experience.The true gems of the menu lie in the restaurant's specialties. The deezi (Persian beef stew) is richly flavored and deeply satisfying, offering a comforting and authentic taste of Persian cuisine. Equally impressive is the pomegranate ash, a beautifully balanced dish with its harmonious interplay of tangy and sweet notes--an absolute must-try.The kabobs, while competently prepared, are less remarkable. They are by no means disappointing, but they don't quite rise to the same level as the standout dishes.In summary, Kabob Bazar is a worthwhile destination for those seeking to explore Persian specialties, even if the overall experience doesn't fully captivate.

I always walk by this place and want to try it but didn't get around to it until a few weeks ago. Placed a pickup order and it was ready a couple minutes before they said it would so pickup was very fast. The employees at the door and the bar were both very friendly. We ordered the kubideh kabob, jujeh kabob, kashk-e-bademjan, and a side of shireen polo and plain basmati. The chicken was surprising juicy (I don't love chicken breast) but the kubideh was just a tad dry. Both had very very good flavor though and I would get both again. The kashk-e-bademjan (eggplant dip) was incredible and I will probably get this every time we go here it was that good. The shireen polo was a tad sweet for me but still really good. We want to try the other 2 specialty rices as well, but the plain basmati is hard to beat. It looks like it still has saffron and some kind of butter or oil on it, it was anything but plain, so good. Last thing is the portion sizes. 2 meals and 2 sides was enough for probably 3.5 meals for us so the portions were definitely generous Will absolutely be back to try more of the food!

I've been going here for years and love the food! Super tasty kebabs and especially love their lamb neck special. Service is always excellent, there's a man who is always there who is so so nice and makes it a great experience to eat there!

Nothing can be better than having a healthy Persian food in the heart of happening area in Arlington. Mr Abbas always welcome us with a lot of excitement and smile. Their food from the kababs to the stews are delicious and fresh. Mohammad and Behrooz are always present to make sure the quality of the food stay consistent. Their weekend specials are what we always go for with friends and family. The neck of lam with the rice is my favorite that they just added to the menu. I can tell this is the only place in the DMV area that has Dizi sangi and kalepache.

Kabob Bazaar serves Persian cuisine and the staff was so friendly! We started off with a bread basket with yogurt sauce. Most of the entrees are kabob based and the platter comes with a bed of rice, two pieces of roasted tomatoes. We were recommended corn hen for chicken, Barg for beef, and Shishleek for lamb kabobs. There are many options for combination platters too if you want to try different meats. We got the lamb soltani, which came with a skewer of kubideh (beef) and one lamb. Dizzi Sangi was on the specials menu and I really liked it! It's a lamb stew that came in a crock pot and you wrap it in bread with raw onions and pickled vegetables.We came on a Saturday evening and we're seated right away. We enjoyed the meal and would love to come back again and try other items on their specials menu!

Ver friendly staff, clean place. This is Persian restaurant .We ordered tongue sandwich and Dizy both very good. They serve you with fresh bread and fresh herb.رستوران کباب بازار هر روز از ساعت ۱۱ صبح تا ۱۰ شب باز هست و هر روز کله پاچه در منوشون دارن که البته ما هنوز امتحانش نکردیم، سفارش ما دیزی سنگی بود که با ترشی و نان تازه سرو میشه و بسیار خوب بود. ما ساندویچ زبان هم سفارش دادیم که خیلی خوب بود. ظاهرا هر ویکند حلیم و دیزی دارن. نوش جان

Excellent eatery tucked away in busy Clarendon. The owner is extremely friendly and made sure that our food arrived as soon as possible. He also made sure to check in with us to confirm everything was okay. The lamb sandwich was certainly the right move. It will come with an abundance of lamb, and healthy portion of side salad. Ive heard Persian food is all about striking a balance between the heavy and light components and kabob bazaar did great in this regard. Plus you will likely have plenty of left overs. The ambience is delightful too. When we were there a family was having a birthday party and for what it's worth, this restaurant would be great for that kind of thing.

I've been going to kabob bazaar for over 25 years in Arlington, VA. One of the friendliest neighborhood food stop with delicious Persian food and specials on weekends and weekdays. The quality of food has been consistent and price are very reasonable. They have one of the best authentic Persian tea with samovar burning in the background and smell of hot tea fills the air. You see all sorts of people from 4 corners of the world eating in this establishment and that's one of the beauties of this place. Servers and owners are genuinely kind and attentive.
