trillateezySeptember 2, 201424/7 & bomb ass food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Best idea = kubideh kabob and chicken kabob combo. Please make sure you order some naan otherwise this ain't a complete meal!
sweetpearacerAugust 22, 2014Rice and chickpeas are addicting. Enjoy the mish mosh of funny bumper stickers and Afghani art on the walls. Order ahead during peak mealtimes because all of south Arlington eats here.
Lauren SternSeptember 12, 2016Kabob! I eat here so much it's rediculous. Sides can be a little spicy so if you're a wuss like me do the chickpeas in like a bowl on the side. Everything is so good.
Liane BanseAugust 7, 2016Love the kabobs here. Call your order in at dinner hour our be prepared to stand in line and wait. This place is tiny and crowded. Loved the eggplant too but only served certain day.- Sophia HMarch 6, 2017Boneless chicken kabob and beef kabob are excellent. But naan bread is AMAZING! Very fresh, soft, and warm - best naan I've ever had, hands down. HUGE portions
Both lamb and chicken kabobs are delicious as well as the chickpeas. Jus be prepared for long lines and wait for your food, but its all worth it!
The portions are huge! If you're not too hungry, you can easily split a dish for two people. And you can do half and half sides with the chickpeas AND the spinach!
Navjot SinghJanuary 1, 2017Amazing food, always crowded and open 24 hrs. The goat curry was awesome and can be enough for 4-5 people , the naan is big and tasty.
This and 'Ravi Kabob' are the only two authentic Pakistani-Afghan places here. It's 24 hours and have had during all hours of the day. Recipe is consistent.
No need to return. This has been my number one Kabob shop for seven years. The consistency is shot and the flavors of the sides are muted.
PrithviMay 13, 2013Hands down some of the best kabobs on the planet. And believe me when I say that, I'm from Hyderabad, the heart and soul of Kabob Kingdom.
Shoaib TariqAugust 21, 2014Chicken karhai, kabobs of all sorts are v.good here. A must visit for foodies and yes a good joint for after club hours...Kudos
Jon DarveauSeptember 16, 2011This place is an amazing gem of a find. Give it a try, you will not regret it. Plus, real sugar coca cola bottles. This is one of the best places in DC area period.
Order the vegetarian plate- chickpeas, spinach & rice. The best! I can eat the chickpeas everyday. 24/7 schedule makes it even better.
The chicken karahi has gotten worse recently (ravi kebab does it better! ) .. The lamb curry and chana rice was still delish! :-)
#10 (chicken bone-in, Kubideh) no salad , double rice, lamb curry , chickpeas !
Amy O.May 28, 2011Terrific kabobs, but expect to wait for food if you go late at night. Always packed after midnight. Sometimes we call in order, then go pick it up - easier. Spinach + rice = spicy divinity.
Amazing! If you want to skip the long line, order the special (whatever is in the window) and skip the numbered meals. They serve it up right there for you!!!
Omar AhmadJune 2, 2017Chappali kabob, when it's fresh, is awesome. Bread is always good, and any chicken dish.
Boneless chicken with Rice and Chickpeas...Ask for salad to be separated. It drives them wild...LOL (But it is for the best or you will have wilted lettuce...Yuck!!)
Vinnie ManciniJuly 18, 2013All that goodness in one place. It was great try the chicken or lamb platter. I suggest the spinach and chick peas
I always get the #1 (Boneless Chicken Kabob) with rice, and I ask for half chickpeas and half spinach. If you don't get salad, they just give you more rice and spinach and/or chickpeas. And I always c
I'm a Midwestern white girl and I literally want to eat here twice a week. Make sure you get: rice, chick peas and spinach. No salad.
Soo ChoJune 18, 2013Never disappointing. Call your order in if you're doing take away to make your wait much shorter. Yum! Yum!
RichardJune 24, 2016Kabobs are awesome but stay for the rice, chickpeas, cucumber sauce, and the bread!
Alex CrenshawApril 28, 2014Everything is bomb.com. Don't forget to grab some ginger, peppers, onion & lemon near the counter.
V JAugust 18, 2013Tried Chicken kabob, it was good. Don't get the salad. Get half chickpeas and half spinach. Lassi was the best.
Ariel ROctober 14, 2015Absolutely the best kabob I've tried in all of northern Virginia! Simply delicious!
Abhi MorajkarFebruary 5, 2014As everyone suggests, boneless chicken (no salad) with chickpeas on the side. What a meal :) loved it
Salwa KhanDecember 18, 2012Halal. 24 hours. Great kubideh. Get extra rice instead of salad. Great sides are spinach and chickpeas.
The meats are grilled to order! The kofta have chili flakes in them 😋
Amal AbdelrahmanJanuary 4, 2015One person order is a full sized order where I could complete at once. Delicious food !!- the BEST kabobs, period. boneless chicken is delicious and juicy! order it with no salad, then get rice and chickpeas. you won't be sorry.
No salad. Don't waste your time on any of the sides but chickpeas and rice. Pay attention to the daily menu, goat brain is great.
Kyle R.August 26, 2014Chickpeas are excellent. Chicken is fantastic. The wait times are absurd. I waited an hour for my to go order. Not worth it. Pricey, too.
Nivine ZakhariJune 3, 2012Lamb, Kabideh, + spinach w/rice = delicious, but be prepared to wait if you can't call ahead.
JefeJanuary 25, 2012I knew when the lot was full of cabs, I was at a good place. The lamb kabob is superb.
Dexter LeeJuly 21, 2015It was okay. Had lamb kabobs and lamb chops. Not as tender as I had expected. Also, crowded, small space. Advise calling in order and picking it up.
Maggie MacGSeptember 20, 2015I did not love this place. They don't clean the spinach thoroughly and it can be pretty gritty.
Ruvania DeveauxAugust 11, 2013I must say that the meat is really soft though and the chickpeas were tasty!!
Andre CoverAugust 30, 2014Omg go here any time for delicious food, but ESPECIALLY after a drunken night out!- Marc AbantoJanuary 13, 2010Go to Kabob Palace and make sure to ask for extra yogurt sauce with whatever you order. If you do this after midnight, call in your order or it may take awhile.

"I had a beef shawarma. The garlic sauce that comes on the side was amazing. Tabouli made fresh to order and one of the best I’ve had. Spinach pies had an amazing tangy spinach filling."
