“We chose this restaurant because it has many vegan and gluten free items on the menu. It is a small family run establishment. We dined in and all of the food was fresh and tasty. It was as good, if not better, than any of the other Indian restaurants in Bethesda. The dhosas and naan were excellent! this will be our new go to spot for Indian food in Bethesda.“
“Grill Kabob offers a range of delicious kabob options that are flavorful and satisfying. The combination of tender meat, fresh vegetables, and aromatic spices make for a mouthwatering dining experience. The restaurant's attentive service and inviting atmosphere further enhance the overall enjoyment of the meal. The portion is small.Overall, Grill Kabob is a delightful spot for those looking for tasty, well-prepared kabobs in a welcoming setting.“
“Everything here was amazing. Starting with the service, Dean our server was knowledgeable, welcoming and professional. Every cocktail I had was refreshing. The lamb chops were like no other before and I won’t eat lamb chops anywhere else, the salmon was seasoned perfectly…all the desserts were to die for. Every staff member was attentive from the host, bartender, server and manager I could not have asked for a better place for a quick date night.“
“One of the most memorable meals we’ve had. My wife is Lebanese and made a reservation for us following a Tiny Desk concert in DC. We seek out Lebanese cuisine whenever we can and ililli has such refined takes on classic Lebanese dishes. The service and food were impeccable. Will be at the top of our list every time we’re in DC moving forward. A++.“
“probably the only halal taco place I've found, but I haven't looked around much. most of the food is in small portions so you may need to order a few items. depends on how much you want to eat.everything tasted great. parking isn't great so cross your fingers. I'll be back again when I'm in the mood for halal tacos/quesadillas etc.“
“Every bite we had here was delicious. Their Lapis Old Fashioned is delectable and Trilogy is a fun take on Mezcal. The Lamb Shank absolutely dissolved in my mouth. The Lamb Masala had incredible flavor and Mahee had a wonderful crust. We had a hard time deciding on the best dessert. The Cacao, Sheer Berenj, Sheer Yakh, and some pistachio cake were a perfect sweet finish.“
“We’ve heard nothing, but good things about this place and finally made the time to drive out to it from Maryland. It was so worth the trip. The food was amazing! Authentic Egyptian cuisine (validated by the Egyptian who tried everything on the menu)! Make sure to try okra with lamb tagine.Vegetarian options: Koshary! You can’t go to an Egyptian restaurant and not try the vegetarian dish. There’s also lentils and dishes without meat.“
“Me and my friend were looking all over DC to eat a late dinner and everything was closed! We found the amazing Dolan restaurant and they treated us so kindly by letting us eat past their closing time. They served excellent food and even though we were a bit late they still cooked everything fresh and Kadir our waiter was respectful and most of all so kind to us. We really loved this place for how beautiful the decorations are and the yummy food! Recommend 100% oh and the baklava was genuinely an out of body experience“
“Excellent food and customer service! It's the first visit and definitely not the last. Their food it's fresh and with a lot of flavor! We came as a large group and we all tried different dishes. The mixed grill (delicious), combo rice bowl (amazing), hummus (creamy and authentic), chicken (soft and flavorful) and stuffed grape leaves (tasty). Make sure you try both of their sauces, so so so good! Didn't get a chance to take a picture as we were eating as soon as the food touched the table :).The staff checked how was the food and if we needed anything during our visit.Overall, this will be our place to go for good food! You must try it, and you won't regret!“

“This is a place is awesome. I ordered samosa and a lamb gyro. I have never been asked if I wanted my gyro spicy. But I was, and I must say this was the best gyro I have ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious also loved the samosas!!!! I will be back for more menu items“
“Grill Kabob is amazing!We drive 25 minutes to get here and it’s well worth the effort! Great service, great healthy food in generous portions will always keep us coming back!We are somewhat new to the area after relocating from California to Kensington and have been searching for our new “go to”. place’s to eat, Grill Kabob is now at the top of our list!Honestly, after the first time eating here we literally couldn’t stop thinking about the food!!Walk, take the bus, get in your car and drive, whatever it takes for you to make it here, do it! You will not be disappointed!! ?“
“it's not just the food that makes Tasty Kabob stand out – it's the entire dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or a romantic dinner for two. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to accommodate any special requests.“
“This was my favorite place to go at the beginning of the year. It’s a great hangout place, the food came fast, and it was really clean! I love how affordable it is and that their potion sizes are fair.Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat red meat so this was a nice alternative from places that always mostly have burgers.“
“Food was pretty good but I wouldn't say incredible. Service is friendly but for whatever reason, the restaurant only does happy hour at the bar and not at the tables. That was quite annoying.My lamb biryani was pretty good and elevated by the cucumber raita. The portion sized looked small when it first arrived but I was actually quite full by the time I finished. The garlic naan was soft and flavorful.“
“I eat here once or twice a week and it's consistently great. They serve huge portions of delicious food and the staff is super nice. You can't go wrong here if you're in the mood for or something fast, tasty, and inexpensive. Lamb/chicken with rice or the gyro are my go-to and they never disappoint. Bonus points because the owner looks a bit like Lou Ferrigno“
“Sheba is a little off the beaten path, tucked in the middle of a small strip shopping center with very limited parking. However, if you can navigate your way here, the cuisine and service that awaits is well worth the effort.Featured on the menu are various combos of meats and vegetables, stewed or simmered in aromatic sauces. You can also order many of the combo elements as separate entrees.The Ethiopian iced tea was delicious. It is served unsweetened, leaving that decision up to the customer. Service was rock solid without being obtrusive. Prices were fair given the geography. Note that no lunch specials exist on weekends, apparently.I can imagine the dining room being packed on weekend evenings, but the teeny, shared parking lot would get crowded first and might be a useful guide.We certainly plan to be back.Vegetarian options: lots of choicesParking: Tiny, shared parking lot with tight spaces. Allow time to hunt for off-street parking.“
“I bought iftar items and beef haleem today from this place today as take outs. Their food is excellent. Please try their iftar items sold specially during Ramadan. I also like their singaras/ samosas, chicken kababs and haleem. Their halwa puri is great too. However , I request the owners to up their game on biriyanis, the biriyanis could be better. Highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Amazing chicken and just to warn you it is extra spicy. We got the medium and hot chicken sandos and the medium is hot and the hot is extra hot. We had the entire medium and half of the hot one. We also got mild and medium chicken tenders as well as the hot and extra hot chicken bites and my wife had a hot one and it was quite hot and well save the extra hot and rest of food for tomorrow for dinner. We got UberEats BOGO deals which made the food very cheap. So glad we tried Hangry Joes!“
“I ordered the lamb shank qabuli pulaw via Door dash. My entire meal was so delicious! The lamb was tender, the chickpeas were how I like them, and the pulaw was tasty. The carrots in the pulaw seemed to be very sweet. I wonder if they add sugar to the carrots while cooking. I hope not! I can’t wait to try other dishes in their menu. I also thought it was reasonably priced.“
“All vibes. Esthetics were dope..especially for us hoop heads! Wings with the house sauce are a must order. All staff were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Service was fast considering the amount of orders while we were there. Would definitely return again and would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal in the DC area.“
“Ordered off DoorDash, wanted pizza and wings but from a place I’ve nvr tried. I ordered the small cheese pizza and 5 hot lemon pepper wings. Wings was a little too saucy, but still good and pizza was great. Taste very similar to Ledos pizza which is one of my favs. I will definitely be ordering again to try the chicken gyro!“
“Title: AMAZING Dining Experience at Fava Pot I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fava Pot and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by an ambiance that exuded warmth and sophistication. The menu was a delightful journey through culinary excellence, offering a diverse selection to cater to every palate. Each dish was meticulously prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, showcasing the chef's mastery of flavors and textures. The presentation was impeccable, elevating the dining experience to a whole new level. One dish that particularly stood out was the lamb and grape leaves bursting with bold flavors and perfectly cooked to perfection. The attention to detail in every aspect of the meal was evident, from the delicate balance of spices to the exquisite plating. Their Egyptian coffee heated in that hot sand also made me feel like I was in Egypt (I'm not Egyptian. I'm Hispanic). Moreover, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and cared for. Their passion for hospitality truly enhanced the overall dining experience. In conclusion, Fava Pot surpassed all expectations, delivering a culinary journey that tantalized the taste buds and left a lasting impression. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Yours Truly, Jose (Washingtonian Food Reviewer)“
“Halal Brothers is one of the best hidden gems in Silver Spring! I always get the delicious chicken over rice. The chicken is always ultra fresh and perfectly cooked, portions are large, the white sauce and spicy sauces are incredible, it's balanced with the perfect amount of rice and greens, the price is low cost, and the owners are very friendly and kind. Highly recommend to all!“
“I had the chance to order platters for an event, and they truly surpassed my expectations. The platters were beautifully arranged, and the guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. I was also thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure the food was ready for pickup on short notice.“
“Everything was fine enough. I liked it overall but I can’t honestly give it five stars. I got the vegan option and it just seemed like it was subpar compared to the meat options. In DC especially vegan options are always as good and as good as non vegan options and it just wasn’t so “
“The meat was very flavorful my only recommendation is that the bread be toasted it takes away from the meats flavors when the bread is oddly cold and chewy honestly also maybe adding a cheese onto the sandwiches with an upcharge would be a good option for people who would want some on their “
“Unmatchable and my definite go-to spot. Food is mouth watering, the energy of the staff is always so pleasant, the location is central, and they have parking which is always a plus. They do give-aways all the time for food and other stuff, and they always make sure the customers are taken care of. There has not been a guest of mine that has come to DMV and didn't try DCG. IT IS A MUST if you are anywhere in the area!“
“Authentic Desi food. BIG PORTIONS It is so tasty and spicy. We asked for spicy food and it had good amounts of spice. HALAL FOOD People are so nice here. They give complimentary chai They give more food than you are expecting and the portions are really big. Two people can get full easily. The place is in a small plaza called trinity square“

“Their service is unparalleled, surpassing all others. The management is top-notch, providing excellence in every aspect. The customer service is exceptional, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. And let's not forget about their food - it's a symphony of flavors, each bite a work of art. The taste is simply exquisite, leaving you craving for more.“
“I've been fortunate enough to have this catered to our office from vendors that come in. My coworker and I decided to venture out to the restaurant ourselves one day for lunch.Olvin was incredible with helping both of us order. Very detailed in his knowledge of the food. We were so impressed with how well he helped us and was able to describe the different options.We both found the food and service was top tier. We were able to get a brochure for our office which I passed off to my office manager who does all the ordering. We are sure to order this in the near future for our team! The price is amazing for the range of food you get and everything we got previously was all phenomenal.“
“There is no better experience than trying something totally new and having it turn out beyond expectations. In my case, eating a Nepalese dish at Himalayan Doko for the first time in my life has produced that satisfaction in me. It was not only the extraordinary taste of the food but the extremely friendly attention of the staff that would make me return to this place a thousand times. I loved the atmosphere, the decoration that reflects its tradition, and the neatness. It will definitely be a must stop whenever you have the opportunity to visit Washington DC.There is no better experience than trying something totally new and having it turn out beyond expectations.

“Delicious, generously portioned, and reasonably priced food in Ballston is a rare treasure. The platters can easily feed two people and are protein-packed no matter which option you choose. The naan and chickpeas are especially wonderful. We'll absolutely be coming back again!!“
“When I first came to Shah’s, I did not know if it would be better than the competition. After taking my first bite, I instantly knew, that shahs halal was the greatest things Allah has ever created. Easily the greatest chicken and lamb platter I have ever had in my life. The greatest.“
“Simply delicious and tastes so awesome. I drove past by so many times but never gave a try at this food truck. I was surprised by the quantity and quality of the food. Must try chicken over rice, I have posted the picture of the plater as well.“
“The sweet lassi, yesterday, was a bit like a slush, but had a good flavor. Goat curry was really rich, and had a really good spice profile. A little bit on the oiler side.I honestly liked the rice with the goat curry more than I did on the mutton biryani, which I was a bit disappointed by. The biryani did not have the biryani spice to make it biryani, and the goat pieces were a bit tough. I also had shami kabab, which was pretty good. The guy who took our order was pretty nice, and offered recommendations for drinks.I do plan on returning, but not for the biryani, which could be improved by adding the biryani spice and chilis for a bit of a kick. Maybe, also putting a little bit of broth would have helped to give it a fluff. Maybe I'm biased since my mom makes biryani at home, but unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with their mutton biryani.“
“Enjoyed our orders of spinach pie and the Kabob combo platters. The platters come with a salad and pita bread.This place is definitely a local favorite. Despite being tucked away in a strip mall, there were many families occupying almost all the tables during the evening when we were there.Enjoy!“
“It was just okay to me. My kids loved it. They liked the chickpeas and bread. I thought the portion size was reasonable. The chicken kabob was probably the best. The beef and lamb were a bit dry. There is no luxury here for dining. You are just eating in a small place with enough space for about 20 people max. It was decently clean. I would eat lunch here again. It’s not a date night though.“
“Stayed at the hotel next to Bawadi for 3 nights and ate their all three nights. Had something different each night and everything was very good. Staff was great. The food came out quickly even when we had a large table of folks one night. While they do not serve alcohol there is a nice craft beer place right next store.“
“Excellent Indian Tea available Only hereAll foods excellent and really good serviceOnly very limited time available in MorningExpect tea available since 9 AMI Really enjoyed delicious food, except buffet to start.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggies available and India tea as well“
“This restaurant is located outside of the mall next to Five guys. Clean location with friendly staff and fresh ingredients. Everything was in stock. I ordered the falafel and personally didn’t like it because I found it kind of tough and dry. I’ve ordered chicken kebab and lamb here in the “
“Tried the tenders here for the rest time. They were big, meat and very moist. They come with sliced bread and like 5 pickles. Went with extra hot, and that was hot! But it was still flavorful and I could still enjoy the meal. I wonder what Reaper would be like. They also have good milkshakes. Had the vanilla one with m&ms.“
“I placed an online order for pick-up. The site was very user friendly, I had no issues placing my order.When I arrived at the restaurant, the employees were super kind and greeted me right away. It was very clean inside and super cute.My food was made right away and I took it home. It was still hot. Very delicious. Highly recommend this place. I ordered the panang curry with chicken. This was my first time here and it won’t be my last.“
“First time here. The food was really fresh and there are many options for proteins and toppings. I built my own bowl and was happy to learn it came with unlimited toppings. It was easy to choose healthy options or just go all out for a delicious high calorie meal. We will definitely be coming back many more times.“
“I haven't been here in almost a decade as I moved jobs around 7 years ago. I had time off and thought, it's a beautiful day, I miss having lunch at Ballston and sitting outdoors with Mr. Khan's chicken Biryani dish with channa. I hope this cart is still operating. Looking into the questions here, and a review from several months ago, I wasn't sure as it seemed Mr. Khan had some health issues. I texted the number listed on the yelp page, and he responded immediately that he would be operating on Wednesday. I went today, and his food is still delicious and brought back memories. Most people will eat here b/c they are walking around and see a cart outdoors. For a destination like my situation, you'd want to text him the morning of to see if he's operating or not. Support him as he's coming back from a major medical procedure and his food is still delicious!“
“Tasty food with excellent vegetarian options. Choose your options (conveniently displayed and explained by helpful staff) and enjoy. Really really good.Vegetarian options: Eggplant, falafel, hummus, cheese, grains, salad. Ask the helpful staff for recommendations.“
“Me and husband recently got food from this carry out spot during a late night after we finished a concert in DC. The food was tasting delicious and fresh, even though it was late night!?The staff were nice as well. Please give this spot a try, if you get the chance!?“
“Ordered the spicy chili chicken bowl which was bright, fresh, and full of amazing flavors, also ordered the garlic naan which was fresh The extreme overall great tasting. Staff was friendly restaurant was clean. Don’t think you could ask for too much more.“
“Ordered to go and the food came pretty hot and sauced and I got all the sauces on the side even tho I didn't ask for it which is nice. The rice and chicken were good veggies were crisp red sauce is hot green was like a mild sauce and the white sauce I feel like is good but not as good as some other white halal sauces I've had. I would def try its affordable healthy quick and large portions.“
“So, I stumbled upon Maman Joon Kitchen at Tyson's and l can say its a solid chicken spot Vegetarian Friendly: Sadly this spot is not a great place as a lot of the menu is meat heavy. They do have options but you should really eat here as there main attraction is meat Decor: The ambiance is inviting and chill. It's the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. And the bonus is they have outside heaters that keep you warm if you want to sit outside. Food Highlights: The Chicken Kabob stole the show for me as it was very well marinated and they included bread and yogurt which was great! Portion Size: Portion sizes are pretty good here so you definitely won't leave hungry, and you might even have some leftovers to enjoy later. But I wish they included 1-2 pieces of chicken as there was a lot more rice to chicken. Price: Considering the quality and quantity of the food, I'd say the prices are reasonable especially for Tyson Area. And just wanted to say there service was really good and got the chance to met the owner Peter Tabibian who was very nice and welcoming! Would I go Back: So even though it's good if I am in the mood for Chicken and Rice I would rather go to DCG as it has more toppings. But for a kabob place it was pretty good!“
“10 out of 10 out of 10. The food is so fresh and seasoned well. The restaurant is clean with a lot of seating. I ordered a falafel sandwich...So delicious and filling. They customized my sandwich and made it extra spicy for me. LOVED THIS SANDWICH. Perfect lunch spot! The staff are super friendly. Definitely a place I'll be returning.“
