For a 1 am dinner, the long-suffering airline traveler who is staying near DCA need look no further. The kabobs are great, but the atmosphere is out of this world. The place was packed at 1 am, and there were at least four people sporting the style of beard that Sasha Baron Cohen put on in his latest film 'The... More

The food was really good, the service was FAST. Many places in Arlington have no idea what service or fast mean, this place does. The Kabobs and rice are great, give it a try. More

Definitively: they know how to season and flavor kabobs that make them worth the typical 20+ minute wait. Within my to-go container you most likely will find a freshly skewered sampling of the farm: lamb, chicken, and dubideh (seasoned ground beef). A side "salad" (read: iceberg lettuce with a couple sliced cucumbers and tomatoes), rice, and your choice of chickpeas,... More

Simply awesome :) . If you're a chicketarian : Try the bone in chicken kabobs with chicken kadai ( this will suffice 3+ people easily ! ). They do have a decent chicken curry on one of the weekdays - although its no match for a spicy (bone in) chicken kadai If you're a lamb-beefetarian : The lamb chops (... More

While staying at the Hyatt Crystal City we picked up take-out kabobs from this restaurant. The food was fabulous. Well-done, terrific spices, fast, and delicious. I was told by some locals we met there that the lamb chops are also great. The clientele was from all walks of life, families and singles, adults and kids - quite the melting pot.... More

This is a small hoe in the wall take-out restaurant with about 10 tables that you can sit at. You order at the counter, wait for your number to be called, and either sit at a table or take to go. It is very busy, but it works. Kabobs were great. Chicken curry was great. Real authentic spices and flavor.... More

All I can say is it is by far the best Kabobs, in the DC area, and they are open 24hr. It's just not fair. I go about twice a week, so that means I have to work out five times a week. The Chicken Kabob, Lamb, and Beef are all very good. The price range is 12-15 with a... More
