There should be an option for zero stars, called to inform the staff as a courtesy that their food tasted days old and somebody can get sick, all the guy could tell us was “stop complaining” what a joke. Been coming here for nearly 25 years but not sure what happened to them, had the original owner answered my call maybe he wouldn’t have been this disrespectful.
My first time here was today. Customer Service & Atmosphere was amazing. However for 18.00 almost 20.00 I barely got any food. There was more bread than rice salad and meat combined? I’m meat was very dry & chic peas were drenched in oil.
Visiting from Georgia and came here with my family and we each got our own plates. Lamb kebab actually had flavor and still maintained a juicy texture. Chicken also had the same consistency, which paired well with the rice. The Saag (Spinach) and Chana (Chickpeas) tasted fresh. My Chicken bowl had decent spice with sauce embedded in the dish, paired with a salad. I normally enjoy my salad on the side but combining it with the rice was tasty. Spoke with the owner, who informed me they had been open for 30 years and uses fresh products from the vegetable to the meats. 10/10 I would come back again when I am back in town.
Nestled in an unsuspecting stripmall in the middle of Herndon is some of the best Afghani food in Northern Virginia — so good, in fact, that I drive from 2 towns over to eat here. The personable staff at this family-owned restaurant are efficient and a pleasure to encounter. The dining area is clean, but could use some modernization. But what really makes this place stand out is the quality of the food. Unlike other local Afghani places, they spice things appropriately and the flavors are savory; the meats cooked to perfection; and the bread …. Oh, the bread. You’ll just have to try it for yourself and see what the hype is about.
Great food. Great atmosphere and great service. The samosas are nice, thick and flakey. The boolanee-YUM! Chickpeas with rice is flavorful and fragrant. The side salad could use an assist but I'm not here for the salad. Charcoal Kabob also gives back to the community consistently and continuously. Will continue to eat here.
Lamb Chops were absolutely incredible, and the chickpeas were amazing
One of my favorite restaurants. I have been coming here for over 10 years. The owners and staff are wonderful people and make consistently delicious food. They do no cut corners on quality of food and the prices are great for flavor, quality, and quantity of food you receive. Their made-to-order tandoori bread that comes with the kebabs is the best you will get anywhere in the world. Also, the haleem side is a must try if you've never had it. It is very flavorful, a little spicy, and just wonderful. I don't live in the area, but I go out of my way to visit any time I am near Dulles airport.
My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday. The food was amazing. Chicken with bone, chick peas, lentils, all phoenomenal!! But the bread - wow. Feels special when you eat something that’s at the very top of its category. Best of kebabs in the DC area. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
I had an amazing experience training with JD. She customized the workout according to my needs and she motivated me to achieve my goals. She is obsessed with forms and explains every workout on what we are working on which has helped me to do my work
Hookah and food was amazing! We ate the food so quickly because it was so good so we have no pictures. Me and my friends had the Lega Tibs, seasoned French fries, and Ethiopian coffee. Itâs nice because this place offered iced hose which most place
Iâve been twice and plan to go back for more. The teachers/artists are very helpful and give step-by-step instructions for painting. They have a wide variety of paintings and post new options every week. They have options for wine/beer/cider tastin
