Kabobistan Arlington

This place was really tasty! I had never been so it was a first. Lots of parking around the area. The inside is just a standard fast food looking restaurant. But the food is so tasty and the service was fine! Quick and served us our food. It wasn't too busy when we went so that was nice as well. Lots of ample seating. Would highly recommend this place. I don't care for their spinach too much, but it was still decent

This morning, eight of us went to Kabobistan in Arlington for breakfast, and it was a complete disaster. The pictures might look nice, but don't be fooled the food was terrible. I honestly don't understand how this place has so many good reviews.Let's start with the service - after waiting 1 hour and 10 minutes, our food was finally served, but by then, we had completely lost our appetite. Many customers even left because of the long wait.Now, coming to the food: * The parathas were straight out of the freezer, fried, and served like that--completely lacking freshness. * The egg dishes were a nightmare. * The scrambled eggs had no salt or pepper--just plain and tasteless. * The shakshuka had a strong raw tomato purée smell, making it unpleasant to eat. * The Afghani eggs had so much tomato that it felt like we ordered a tomato dish, not eggs. * The pepperoni eggs were ruined--the pepperoni was overcooked and tough, and one side of the egg was completely hard-fried.This was one of the worst breakfast experiences I've ever had. Frozen food, poor seasoning, excessive tomato, and a painfully long wait time--nothing was right. Definitely not recommended.

My friend and I stopped by for dinner last Tuesday. The interior is more casual. I ordered and paid at the front and they deliver the food to our table when it's ready in a cafeteria tray. A1 BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST KABOB - 14.95The pricing for how much food I got is pretty worth it. My order came with 6 chunks of well-seasoned chicken breast cubes, a bed of seasoned rice with some sweetened, julienne carrots. The chicken was decent, nothing special. The rice was enjoyable on its own and the carrots added on top was a good touch. We also could choose a side with each order and I got the chickpeas, which was more on the saucy side that was quite delicious. The order also comes with a huge piece of bread that was pretty chewy and went well with everything else I ordered. Overall, solid option!The boneless chicken breast kabob was good, but nothing out of ordinary. The pricing here is good (compared to other parts of Arlington), and I'd recommend it if you're nearby and craving kabobs!

Place used to be great and taste amazing. Used to frequent both annandale and Arlington locations.Recently prices have gone up and chicken portions are now smaller which leads to a dryer chicken. Hopefully portion go back to what it used to be.

I had a good experience at this Afghan restaurant. This place occupies a large space. Large enough to accommodate a dine-in restaurant operation, so when I did not see many customers on the inside of the restaurant I wondered if that was an indication of less than stellar food or customer service. The food is delicious and was made to order which I appreciate. Normally when I dine at Afghan restaurants I stick to my basics such as chicken and lamb. After all, the food is Halal, so the chicken and lamb is going to be prepared near perfect according to customs and traditional flavors. The food was hot and fresh. The customer service was also friendly. Overall this was a good experience and I will visit again when in the area. Give them a try and see for yourself.

This place has the most authentic Afghan food in the area. The kebab melts in your mouth and the service is exceptionally good.. if you're looking for Afgan ice cream or Afghan Cuisine you look no further.I recommend their delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner .

This is an update: a recent addition to the menu is sheeryakh, which is Afghan ice cream made the old fashioned way in a metal bucket surrounded by ice and salt that is then frozen and made right in front of your eyes. It's a lot of work for the employee, and the results are heavenly - deep cardamom flavor topped with rosewater and chopped nuts, this is THE BEST ice cream in all of Arlington. It takes a few minutes to freeze and to be scraped off the sides, but it is worth every minute. It is NOT on the menu except there is a picture of it on the counter, but it is definitely there. There is nothing like this ice cream, and I imagine it is not unlike what you would find in the sheeryakh vendors on the streets of Kabul.

Had the pleasure of dining at Kabobistan in Arlington with my lovely family for a Turkish brunch, and it was a delightful experience. As a Turkish person, it brought me immense joy to see a taste of Turkey right here in Arlington. The attention to detail in the setup and the deliciousness of the food truly impressed me. Every dish was a culinary delight. Kabobistan captured the essence of Turkish cuisine wonderfully. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to experience authentic Turkish flavors in a welcoming and cozy setting. A must-visit spot for Turkish food enthusiasts and all food lovers alike!

An absolute delight! Great experience from the delicious made to order chicken kabob to the amazing homemade Afgan ice cream. Service was fast and friendly and I highly recommend!

The lamb sandwich is great and a good value. The green sauce is good too. Come for lunch.
