First time here. I got take out. Nice little cozy spot hidden in the back roads of Springfield close to I-395. The tall waitress/cashier, I think her name started with a Z, was very polite and professional. This place is one of the better kabobs I've had in Northern Virginia. I got the chicken and beef combo. The chicken and beef were both tender and succulent. It was a delight to my teeth, tongue, and tastebuds. Ha-ha! The chick peas were also very well made and quite delicious. My only gripes is that I didn't get served Naan bread and the prices are quite high for the small portion you get. I've had kabob at other spots that were far cheaper and with bigger portions. This is one of my new favorite spots, and safe to say, I will be back again to try many more dishes. Thank you.

Always pleasant, fulfilling, and delicious. Unpretentious location but well appointed interior. Haven't been able to dine out recently, but looking forward to a visit here.

Service was a little slow but it’s only one guy for the entire dining room and he was super friendly and accommodating. Food and dessert were amazing.

For the money, one of the best restaurants in Northern Va and perhaps the entire DC area. Food continues to shine, and with such generous portions, you are guaranteed to take home and enjoy tomorrow's lunch or dinner. Wine list is excellent and fairly priced. Restaurant could have benefitted from an additional server at dinner, but overall service was friendly and efficient.

Reservations are needed for dinner given the popularity of this local gem. Food and tea were outstanding. Plan on returning for my next trip to the area.Vegetarian options: The pumpkin dumplings made my day!

If you haven’t become a fan of Afghan food and its exhilarating spices you’re missing out. I ordered the braised lamb shank and it did not disappoint. Definitely, a favorite in DC.

The food is very tasty with lots of options. They have multiple locations in the area operating under the name of Aracocia. One recommendation I would make is to unify the names across all the locations to create a better brand recognition.Vegetarian options: Being a vegetarian, I didn’t have any problems finding something great to eat!
