Reviews Charcoal Kebab

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.

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 👏🏻👏🏻

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly! We are happy to find this amazing restaurant in our neighborhood and can’t wait to return.

Love this place. This Is my go to Kabob place. Hands down my favorite and I've tried several of them. If I am anywhere in the area I will make a pit stop and grab some food. I've been coming here for over 19 years and I am glad to see there success grow in that time. When other kabob restaurants close after years of service these guys have been expanding and taking up space. Just goes to show you awesome tasting food does pay off. They have expanded and taken over the next two retail spaces next to them to expand seating and to create a private party seating area. The three brothers are so nice and friendly as well as the staff. My go two menu choice is the chicken and ground steak kabobs combo with chana ( chickpea indian side dish). This place is always packed and there is a wait to get your food but it's worth the wait. I will definitely be back and continue to enjoy their wonderful food.

The Karchi Chicken was excellent! Lots of chicken breast cooked just perfectly soft and the medium spicy sauce was the best I recall. And the two large naan cooked fresh hit the right spot. It's how this dish should taste. A little bit on the expensive side. I'll be back!

Their food is good, especially the tandoori kabob meal I got but they need to take down the picture of abdur rahman khan from their wall. Abdur Rahman Khan was an evil tyrant that massacred over 60% of the Hazara population in the early 1900s. He’s the Afghan Hitler.

I last visited here years ago. I came back today and was pleased to find that the food was as good as ever. Excellent bread, very tasty food, not greasy at all. I'll be back!
