Kabob Palace

“If I could give it a 0 stars I would. It depends on if I make it to the bathroom in time” - my brother Long story short the atmosphere is 10/10 and service is pretty good but the food is kinda diabolical - at least the lamb karahi is The lamb and chickpeas are swimming in what seems like cooking oil and it just takes you out of commission - complete body shutdown Aside from that the food is kinda good at first. The flavor is like a 4/5. But the problem is that everything is too salty. I was still thirsty the day after The kabobs are the same story. Unique flavor which is good but just way too salty. Also the chicken kabobs are hard and almost rubbery, not as soft as the lamb Lastly, I like places that do paper/plastic plates (that’s actually why I came) but styrofoam is a bit far. Putting hot liquid into styrofoam is crazy work. On top of that the prices are pretty high to be eating on plastic: $15-20 per person is unacceptable. I am aware though that the meat is halal which factors into the pricing Pros: Halal, 24/7, Great atmosphere Cons: Salty, Expensive, Some dishes are drenched in cooking oil which will ruin you

Kabob Palace is outstanding! The kabobs are always juicy and well-seasoned, paired with fresh, flavorful sides. The atmosphere is cozy, making every visit feel special, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. It’s a fantastic spot for authentic, delicious meals. Highly recommended!

Last night, my brother and I had an awesome dinner at this place that's open 24 hours! Can you believe it? The restaurant was pretty busy, so they should definitely consider making it bigger. We had to wait in line to order, but after just 10 minutes, our food was ready. The taste was good, but not as amazing as Aga's restaurant. The atmosphere was really cool with newspapers and articles hanging on the walls. And the best part? The prices were totally reasonable for such a great experience! 🍽️📰 #FoodieLife #GoodVibes

While the location and ambiance were pleasing, the food failed to impress as much as I had hoped. There’s room for improvement in the culinary department for a truly exceptional dining experience next time. Overall not bad, will be back!

First things first: for a noob, figuring out the "system" here is a little tough. I don't really know what order things were made, but whatever. The food was totally worth it. I got lamb kabob with a spinach topper. The guy in line in front of me asked for a side of goat curry. That sounded good so I did too. I think it was actually lamb, but again, whatever. It was delicious. The lamb kabob was great flavor and tender. The spinach was way more flavorful than I expected. The service was friendly, I just didn't understand exactly what was happening... And I didn't care. Great meal, would go again.

Authentic and just the right spice. I had to try this place. Don't expect waiters and white linen tablecloths. Booths, eclectic bumper stickers, and smokey incense. I rated it 5 stars for the atmosphere and service because they nailed what they were going for.

I recently dined here, expecting an authentic Afghani experience. However, to my disappointment, despite their claim to be an Afghani restaurant, not a single Afghani dish was on the menu. The hygiene standards were lacking, which was concerning. Additionally, the prices were high for the poor quality of food served. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it to others seeking genuine Afghani cuisine or a pleasant dining experience.

I have never been to a restaurant quite like this! Once arriving you wait in line, place your order, and receive a number for your meal. We receive our food quickly and usually eat at the restaurant (which is a total dive) as the bread is warm and fresh. If you have ever had Afghan food, to me it takes more similar to Indian food than Lebanese food. It is very spicy. Great for late night as they are open 24/7!!!

Food quality: traditional Bengali style cuisine, large portions Inside: tons of tables, well lit. Can easily bring yourself or multiple people to eat Price: in comparison to nyc/queens, food is on the pricier side but that's a given with nova area

The last time I ate here was multiple times on the same trip 10 years ago, and I've dreamed about it regularly since. Eating here again, it is EVERY bit as good as it was then. It's PERFECT. AND 24/7. - Walk to the left and order. - Order anything they have a picture of. Tell him NO SALAD up front. This will allow you to have both a scoop of spinach AND chickpeas. - Order a mango lassi. PER PERSON. - When they call your order number, order both chickpeas AND spinach over their rice for your two sides. Warning: this stuff is not for wimps. Your nose will run, and the heat will build. (That's what the mango lassi is for. Hell, get yourself 2 mango lassis, they're so damn good.) - Stuff yourself to an oblivion. Question how on earth the food continues to expand in your stomach while forgetting that you ate 2 cups of rice, an entire can of chickpeas, and a thing of homemade bread. - Go back tomorrow and do the same thing.

Kabob Palace is hidden behind the slightly shady plaza in Crystal City. There is a lot of seating inside and you wait in line before ordering and paying. With 9 of us a couple Sundays ago, the food came out surprisingly fast and the portions were huge. CHICKEN KABOB (BONELESS) - 19 (post-tax) Again, the portions were massive. I chose chickpeas as my side/vegetable and there was a heaping amount of chickpeas on top of a very flavorful bed of rice. A small side of salad and a several pieces of juicy chicken breasts that have been charred and seared to perfection. I ate maybe half of it and was able to make two smaller lunches out of it the couple days after. This was such a good deal and the food was so delicious. Again, that chicken really be hitting and you can eat that rice on its own because its well-seasoned. I would highly recommend Kabob Palace. It is the best kabob restaurant I've had in Arlington so far.

I had really high hopes for this restaurant given the high ratings, but this was such a disappointment. I cannot believe they are charging such expensive prices for a plate of unseasoned rice, chickpeas swimming in flavorless but spicy oil, and 2 skimpy beef kabobs. Our order was also missing the side of salad that we had requested. I ordered for delivery and would NEVER come back here again.

Spots open 24 hours and great location if u want late night food. I tried the chicken curry on a Sunday night with rice roti and chickpeas. The portions are big and can fill two hungry souls. The place is pretty low key so don't expect anything upscale and you will leave content.

Great place to eat . Customer service was great the food was excellent. Hearty portions i found great value at this place . Highly recommended

I had a chance to check out this spot last September before leaving from Dulles and found it to be a hole in the wall, busy with a potpourri of what was really Pakistani food (not Indian or Afghan IMO). They are friendly here and work quickly. Chicken curry - for someone who hadn't had Desi (google it) food in what seemed like weeks, this was so comforting as it wasn't too spicy nor too runny. I think the chicken portions to rice were just right, and it hit the spot. I think it will for most in the area when it comes to wanting Indian or Pakistani food with a kick, and for those who don't need any frills. Lassi - this was made fresh upon ordering, and I was happy to have it bring down the spice level with every sip. This may not be on the menu, but you can have it made and it will be delicious - more than any soda or soft drink.

Great middle eastern Indian kabob place near Arlington, kabobs are made fresh. The bone in chicken was really tasty, veggie curries , yummy rice. Open 24 hours perfect for late arriving travelers staying near the Airport..

One of my favorite spots in the DMV area for food. Great tasting and quantity of food for the price. For only $16-18 you can get the daily special. Highly recommend the Wednesday lamb with lentils or the weekend Haleem. Both absolutely delicious and enough food for 2 meals. Will definitely come again to try other specials!

Came in on a Sunday, which was not busy at all. The decorations around the place have not changed since I've been there a couple of years ago. There are a lot of tables and a lot of seating, but can be cramped at times (self-seating). The food was amazing. All dishes were extremely flavorful and delicious. Naan and some sauces came with it, making it even better. Both the Nehari and the combo platters were well worth it. Definitely coming back again for more.

Everyone in the dmv knows of this 24hr food safe space. Great portions , pricey numbers and a very stern work staff. Families fill the seats in the early evening and then the crowds get a bit unruly and rude as the night gets later. Be prepared to wait a lONG time the later it gets. Food is clean and cooked well the saag and Chana are always great. I love the lemon onion and chili station and the complimentary chai station in the very back. Also the giant piece of bread and the green yogurt sauce they give you. It's can be a bit daunting your first couple of times going so build up your confidence if you don't want to get walked over lol.

My husband and I stopped by here for brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all. You order at the front, grab a seat, and get your food when they call your number. The food here is amazing!! The kabobs are so flavorful. We also tried the beef nehari which I've never had before. It was so tasty. I love the naan here too -- soo fluffy and thick. You get so much food; we had leftovers the next day. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. Parking may be difficult to find depending on when you go but we found street parking across the street (free on Sundays).

Food is fresh, delicious and authentic Afghan/Pakistani dishes! You walk in and are greeted by a display case of off of their various kabobs! Their plate comes with 2 vegetable sides, a salad and naan. You order at the register and they cook your fresh! Once your kabobs are ready, you get 2 choices from rice, spinach and potatoes, lentils, stewed vegs (paya), chickpeas, and more. They other dishes from curries, falafel, Biryani, Karahi and more. Flavors and spices are delicious, everything cooked fresh when you order. Servings are huge, enough for two people. Mango lasse and rice pudding options as well. People are friendly; this place is open 24/7 as well!

24 hour food spot, you know I'm there. I had the lamb kebab and oh my god. So tender and juicy it was absolutely delicious. The prices are high but the quality and amount is well worth it. I chose the chickpea side, rice and kebab but also tried the spinach side which was very flavorful too! Will definitely make this a regular spot every time I come back to the dmv.

Honestly this is a solid 3.5. I came in with high expectations driving from Gaithersburg to try this hype. There is no parking. Like 2-4 street parking out front and the market next to it. Across the street there is but good luck, it's always packed from other ppl parking to attend other restaurants and bars on that strip. Dont bother parking in the neighborhoods cause you cant. Just go to the paid parking down a block. Had to wait 20-25mins once ordered. Place inside was packed. People who worked there were also semi rude i get it go sit or move out if your food isnt ready but mine was. Dude had to tell me to go wait elsewhere but my order was up. He needs to chill. Better pray for seating to because there's like 6-7 tables max in there. Food was expensive like any kebob place however this is a tad bit more. Food wasnt worth the hype and nightmare either. Would be ok if you live here and can walk there to pick up. Otherwise im not coming and dont recommend

Flavor was good but chicken kabob a bit dry. I placed an order though Yelp and chose the must o kehyar and salad shirazzi sides but when I picked up they said what I bought could only get basic salad on side, so a bit deceiving/disappointing. They gave me basic salad and chickpeas instead..for $25 expected a bit better but good portions

The food was tasty and authentic. The rice with the spinach can be watery. The pricing has increased and now they have monitors with the menu displayed inside. How to order: Pick a number ( if you are ordering for a vegetarian just say vegetarian platter and they will give you all three veggies. ) He will ask you if you want salad. Say yes or no. That's it. The man taking your order can come off rude. It think it's just a cultural thing. If you try to tell him which vegetables you want while ordering he will abruptly tell you that you will tell them the vegetables you want once they call your order. ( it will be a wait. It is a very popular and busy restaurant) They have complimentary coffee while you wait. The bone in chicken was tasty

I can't remember the last time I was with a crew that wanted to spontaneously go get food 30 minutes away at 1:00 AM. That happened to be me the other night. They were hungry, and wanted me to try this place out in Arlington. I recognized Kabob Palace's area almost immediately. I was at the lounge down the street a long time ago, and we were very close to the Hyatt, and BlerdCon memories started flooding back! Anyways, Kabob Palace has a very tight parking lot -- we got lucky with the last spot. Then we went inside and it was just so bright in there!!! Maybe it was also because of how late it was, but wow, haha. There was some tables for dining in, and it was way more crowded than I expected. I guess with a 24/7 spot, you can expect anything. My friend did all the ordering... all I know is that I ended up with a heavy tray of curried chicken, chickpeas and a huge slab of beef in some stew. I think it was called nehari. Well... I'm not used to eating that late, so I couldn't eat it all at once, but it was delicious! Flavorful chicken and beef, great chickpeas... and the rice soaked in that curry as delightful! I loved dipping my naan in the mint chutney as well. My friend said that the fact that we were in and out was a rarity, but that was a great first impression for me. I'd definitely come back to try more!

I recently dined at a five-star restaurant renowned for its exquisite kabobs and was absolutely delighted by the experience. The kabobs were perfectly seasoned and grilled to juicy perfection, complemented by fluffy, aromatic rice that was a dish on its own. The standout, however, was the lunch special, priced at an unbeatable $13, which is a steal for the quality and ambiance provided. This restaurant offers not just a meal but a culinary journey that's both satisfying and surprisingly affordable. Whether you're a fan of tender, flavorful meats or well-crafted side dishes, this establishment exceeds expectations and leaves you planning your next visit.

The family really likes to order carry out from here as they have authentic afghan kabobs. The chicken portions have gone down a lot over the years so prepare to ask for more skewers. The rice is not the greatest but the naan, the chick peas and the spinach is the most flavorful in this area. The lamb chops are moist and not overly done with the meat being a nice mix of spice and flavor. The chicken bone in is my favorite as well as the beef kabobs. Make sure that you order 60 min or so ahead on busy days so that your order is ready for take out. There is lot of seating inside but it's always crammed and you won't often find a place to sit inside. The weekends are for carry out but maybe during the week you can dine in.

I visited this place on a family vacation and the staff was friendly and the food was great! Everything was fresh and was what I expected. I would visit this place again.

Looks dubious and insalubrious but tastes delicious. Worth a try. I mean, it's 24/7 and near DCA so it's perfect for the late night flight hungries. I had the Thursday night curry lamb special which came with fragrant rice and a large chewy flatbread. The place has horrible florescent white light like a hospital but it's also clean and well run. Come here. Bonus points if you come after 2 am!

I probably hadn't eaten here in about 15 years and recently decided to give it a try again, mostly because I've heard how it's regularly rated the best kabobs in the Northern VA area. It's got a decent size dining room and a lot of folks working in the open kitchen, making kabobs, curries, and naan. The menu is nice, as it has several curries (some available as sides with the kabob entrées) and lots of kabob options. I tried the combo of Seekh and chicken, with muttor aloo and aloo saag. The chicken was tender and spiced perfectly... it tasted amazing! The spices used were great too, which is hard to do in a chicken breast kabob. The seekh kabob was equally flavorful and perfectly spiced. But the two curries I got as sides were boring and bland. I found this VERY disappointing, as they looked great and I really wanted them to match the flavors of the meats, but no luck. The naan was the worse thing though... They premake a pile of them and they grab from that pile to fulfill orders, which I watched them do for me. The naan was rubbery and slightly cool. Typically when "real naan" that's made with the proper dough, that's spread properly, and that's baked in the Tandoor properly... typically that naan will crisp up as it cools and become hard. This naan was cool but turned to rubbery - horrible dough was used! Inside the restaurant was interesting... lots of absolutely silly stickers (junk like BLM, etc) all over, which they clearly let others put all over the sides of fridges in the dining room, etc. And there were several police related stickers posted, which were vandalized. The ownership needs to clean all these nasty, hateful stickers up. Overall... If in the mood for midnight (tho I went for lunch on this visit) kabobs, I'd come back. But otherwise, it's decent, not all it's cracked up to be though.

Food here was really good. The staff was great at recommending combos and sides. I really enjoyed the bread and the eggplant. I did take out, so I didn't get to eat my food right away. But it was definitely YUMMY. I liked how everything was tasteful, not so salty, and the meat was tender. There is a bathroom inside for customers, & it did appear that they were open late. Definitely come check this place out.

Maybe it was just me ‍ I've tried this place twice and both times met with rudeness and unfriendliness. I was skipped in line maybe 4-5 times and then asked what did I order when I was simply trying to place an order in FRONT of the counter! After I was asked to what did I want AGAIN another order was taken in front of me! I left after maybe 10 mins! The second instance I ordered two orders of wings for $16! As I waited for my wings I observed every order receiving bread with their order. When my order was ready I asked for bread. I was then asked did I pay the extra $2 for my bread when I clearly sat here for 15 mins and watch everyone receive bread with their order.. even a guy asked for extra bread and was giving extra without the questioning of did they pay the extra fee. Idk if it was me or it was the night? But highly unacceptable. Don't wanna say it's an ethnicity thing but ‍

Food 6/10 We ordered the lamb and chicken with rice Service was slow, multiple orders went out before us that came in after us. Definitely was busy. While everything was edible the flavor I remember from years ago was lacking. Ambiance - very cluttered, rude people who basically were sitting on our table, pushing pass with no regard. Open late so good for late night quick spot.Maybe a good spot after drinking. When not busy.

My family has been going here for yeaaars. Food has always been great, self service for drinks. You get a ticket and they announce your number to pickup your food - it can take awhile though, it was relatively busy on a Saturday afternoon and we had to wait about 10-15 mins to get our order. Portion sizes are big for the Chicken with Bone platter, super yummy. The naan is some of my favorite among the kabob places in the DMV! Definitely worth the trip and the parking hassle. Be careful where you park, there's street parking available, although it is rather limited on weekends. I'm ticking off one star because of the price change. The prices have skyrocketed, which has really disappointed us. We paid about $60 for 3 platters, which is more than double what we would pay when we first came to the restaurant.

What a place this is. You walk in. You're surrounded by so many people. All waiting for their meals. Walk up to the window, order your meal, get a number and you sit there and wait. The food is outstanding. Everything is very well organized for chaos

Kabob Palace always delivers. It's authentic, fast, and delicious. It's approachable, unpretentious, and open all night. I make a point of stopping here whenever I'm anywhere near the airport. The prices have gone way up since we started coming fifteen years ago, but the portions are enormous. Everything is great - try it all...ask for extra green sauce.

This place seems to be one of the best in the area and arguably the most authentic. How they keep the place running 24:7 is beyond me but definitely grateful! The food is a bit pricey but the portions are HUGE. You can easily store it and be fed for days.

I went here around dinner time at 7 PM. It was pretty crowded with a line almost reaching the door, and had lots of awards from TripAdvisor on the wall, a testament to its quality. Various political slogans of all walks of life appeared on the walls too. Although it was small and felt a little cramped, making a difficult to find an open table, it only made the place feel more like a staple of the area. Because it was so busy the food took a little bit on the longer side, but it was worth it with delicious lamb, chickpeas, rice, and pita bread. The quantity was pretty good, and with some sauces on the side, it all meshed together in a wonderful combination of flavors. The servers were friendly and were working as hard as they could to get everybody's orders out. Would recommend going to this kebab place.

Came here originally bc I was looking for a place near crystal city to get falafel. They came up in a search bc I guess they used to serve them but they don't anymore. We were there on a Monday so we got their Monday special, chicken curry. It came with stewed chickpeas, salad, rice, and a giant piece of flat bread for like $20. It was definitely enough food for 2 meals. Idk that I would let a kid eat the chicken bc there were lots of tricky little bone pieces in it, that were hard to navigate even as an adult. The rice also had big pieces of peppercorn and so each bite had a crunch that had me playing a fake of "is this pepper or a chicken bone." The flavor of the dish itself was great, I just wish the bones were bigger and easier to pick out. I'd still definitely come here again.

It was almost Christmas and late at night and nothing was open (sounds like the Christmas story!). The line was long, but the guy in front of us was friendly and gave us recommendations. The wait was worth it for the delicious food and giant portions. I ordered beef and my husband ordered chicken and everything was perfect. The best part though were the side of Haleem (weekend special) and the cooked spinach. I can't wait to go back to Arlington just for some Kabob Palace!

This was a quick stop In Crystal City for work. I must say, I am very happy that I didn't eat at my hotel. Kabob Palace was an absolute wonderful experience. The service was lighting fast and friendly. My walk back to my hotel was about 10 minutes and my food was still hot and extremely fragrant. Their flatbread had a great texture and went very well with the chickpeas and curry. Their were large chunks of chicken and chicken drumsticks which I really enjoyed. The rice provided was also flavorful and they portions of all food were enough to feed several adults. I really enjoyed every element of the meal and the smell definitely matches how well it tasted. This location is not fancy but the food you are paying for is definitely 5 stars! I will be back the next time I'm town! I look forward to coming back!

Our Lyft driver recommended Kabob Palace for great food that is walking distance to Hyatt Crystal City and neighboring hotels. It's a small business. Quite authentic with plenty of locals coming for dinner. We had 1) chicken kabob plate - bone-in It was juicy and tender. Good marinade throughout. 2) lamb kabob plate - of all the meats we tried, this was best. Pretty tender for lamb. Super flavorful 3) extra skewer of ground beef - okay but my least favorite. A little dry. 4) extra skewer of chicken. Boneless. Surprisingly not dry and good marinade. Sides: peas and potatoes (pretty good) rice (meh) Spinach (good - recommend this) Bread (really fresh. Super chewy. Delish) Salad (fresh but no dressing on it and none was offered to us) I got the extra skewers because each dinner plate only has 1 kabob. We did have some leftover meat but not much.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Authentic and quality. Can't wait to come back again. I'm from out of town but hat to mark this o man yelp as a place to return

If you want authentic kebabs, this is the place to go to and the food is amazing. They are open 24 seven and won't disappoint.

I was a little lost as I entered but helpful staff and other patrons set us up. We had 4 delicious meals with a variety of all the vegetable side dishes. If we ever come back to DC we would definitely visit again

Excellent!. The Okra and chicken kabob with rice was a great mixture. I got it takeout and it didn't have cutlery, so I ate it with my fingers, which I think made it better.

The cashier was very unattentive, non-apologetic when he took my order. He overcharged me when I got my order. I was charged for a more expensive dish .

I'm visiting from out of town for work. I didn't want hotel food for dinner, so found this place. As soon as I walked, the fragrant aroma hit me and I was in heaven. The food is amazing. I had the chicken kabob with rice and peas/potatoes. There's enough here for at least two more meals. The food taste as good as the restaurant smells. If you're in the area, don't walk, RUN to Kabob Palace. You're taste buds will thank you.

You can't go wrong. Anything I've ordered from here has been perfect. I've come and different times as well as sober vs drunk and each time they're great!

If you are near the DCA airport and are hungry anytime day or night it's a good place to get some authentic afghan food. Be prepared to wait a bit as the lines are long because it's a very popular place. It's kinda like a meat and two sides place. The have quit a few proteins and even a few vegetarian choices as well. Then pick from a wide variety of sides. Sorry for no pictures but it's small but seats quite a few and the carry out business is brisk and plentiful. About $20 a person.

I order Family Combo 1 which was Chicken Kabob Boneless, Beef Kabob and 2 Skewers of Kabob E Kubideh (includes Rice, Large Side Any, 3 Bread. In the morning there was only two people and guy cashed me told me does not come with meat side only vegetable. I gave you meant for free on side. You did not give me free. I freaking PAID 50 DOLLARS FOR IT. Sometimes you just need to close your damn mouth. I said, to him on the phone that Im going sue the store for the false advertisement. He hanged up on me. DON'T TELL ME YOU GIVE IT TO ME FREE.

I've been going here for at least the last 15 years and it pains me to give it two stars, but our beloved KP has really gone down hill. I'm not sure if there is new ownership, but on our recent order, the boneless chicken was FULL of bones, with several pieces being almost all bone, the green sauce was super watery and the rice just wasn't the same. They have also done something to their chickpea recipe which is now darker and not nearly as good as it used to be. It feels like they have been trying to cut costs and are using cheaper products and probably buying whole chickens and using more of the gristle etc. Sadly, I'm not the only reviewer that has noticed these issues and it seems like a trend that hopefully they can recover from.

Food: 7/10 Speed: 7/10 Cleanliness: 6/10 Worth: 6/10 This place is ok and runs 24/7. Parking is tough during the day as it doesn't have a dedicated parking lot and the closest one is used by the 7/11. Food was made to order and pretty good portions. We ordered the chicken biryani ($15), kubideh and lamb kabob combo ($20), and mango lassis ($4). Taste was as expected, but the sauce that came with the entrees was fantastic. For the price, difficulty of parking, and cleanliness in the dining area, I would rather go to a Moby Dick and save $5 - $6 dollars on each dish. But if I had happened to be in the area and craving kabobs, it's still a decent spot to satisfy that craving.

I've heard about this place for years! And I finally went and it was sooooo good! I got this large saucy lamb dish with bones that come in a pot (meant for two ppl) I asked for it medium spicy. It took about 10-20min to prepare and came with bread, chickpeas and rice! Also ordered a yogurt drink. It was ALL was so good, worth the wait! The bread was made fresh and I even ordered extra to take home. I was stuffed, but I kept wanting to eat more! There was so much flavor in the food! I'd dip my bread in the sauceI will definitely go back and bringing more people with me! Check this place out ! If you want to order the lamb dish (I heard they have a chicken and goat version too) call early and let them know so they can start cooking before you get there. Also BEWARE the lamb dish has Bones, so eat slowly and don't break a tooth haha! Honestly this is a very traditional dish and my Arab friend comes here all the time! He raves about how good it is! Also note: there is free HOT tea in the back by the bathrooms. At first I thought it was dirty water but my friend said it was a very light cardamom black tea. Light but great after a heavy meal! You have to visit!

This place is a hole in the wall that's been around for a long time! This place is open 24/7 and it's always busy. Tip: know what you want before getting the cashier to order. I learned it the hard way. The seating area is small but a lot of people carry out or done in. The food is simple and delicious! Known for the kabobs and weekend paya. The chicken karahi is amazing! I definitely plan on going back!

Food: If you get a combo, you will receive an entree, rice, salad, a side and a piece of homemade bread. I got the boneless chicken kabob combo, which is one of my favorites to get. However, I recommend telling the cashier, "no salad", which will allow you to get another side dish as a substitute. Kabob Palace also has a long list of sides to choose from, such as potatoes, chickpeas, mixed vegetables, and more. My two favorite side dishes are the chickpeas and the lamb curry. The bread is freshly baked daily and is nice, fluffy, and great for "cleaning the plate." At around $15.00, the meal provides a great value proposition when taking into consideration the quality and quantity of the food. Service: While their food is good, their customer service is shaky. I called once to place an online order and got hung up on for asking too many questions. I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it was an isolated incident. However, the majority of their lower-starred Yelp reviews also mention service issues and it doesn't appear that they were ever properly addressed by management. Tips: If you're going to go to Kabob Palace, I would recommend going on a weekday. On the weekends, the restaurant is very packed and it is hard to find seating. There will usually be a long line of customers waiting to order, as well. For this reason, I recommend calling in your order ahead of time, but telling them you plan to dine-in. When you arrive, you can then just head to the order-pickup station and give them your order number, which will save you a lot of time. When it comes to parking, there is a CVS right next to Kabob Palace, which is going to be the most convenient place to park for free. Kabob Palace is also open 24/7, so they are also a good option if you are looking for a reasonably healthy meal after 12 AM. Overall: Kabob Palace is arguably one of the best, authentic kabob places in the DMV and is definitely worth trying at least once.

Kabob Palace is my go-to restaurant in the area. Whether you're dining in or taking out, the quality is consistent and amazing every time. The workers there are friendly and can give you recommendations if you don't know what to order. Personally, the lamb curry, lamb spinach, and lamb chop are my favorites. The lamb falls off the bone and is tender. For the sides, you get options like chickpeas, salads, spinach and potato, and more. They give you tons of food and a flatbread on the side.
