I LOVE this restaurant. You can see them making their food right at the till, with a little grill, and yet, despite not being frozen or prepackaged, I cannot consistently rely on the food being fantastic each and every single time. If you come in dinner and order the chicken platter(my go to dish, and one of my all time favorites) you get 8 pieces of chicken which is a lot of food. I like to order some naan on the side as well, and I find that makes the dish amazing. This place also provides a large helping of rice with the platter, and I usually find that restaurants that provide rice on the side are doing it as some sort of filler so the platter seems more filling. Not this restaurant. The rice is surprising flavorful for its normal color, but I definitely recommend this place. The mint chutney and white sauce are absolutely fantastic as well, and while you don’t get a ton of them initially you can always ask for more containers of the sauce. This place is great if you eat chicken or other meats but do not come if you cannot eat meat because you will have at most 2-3 dishes, most of which are considered sides to an actual dish.

Amazing flavorful food, I’ve been going to this place for about 5 years now and they’ve always been perfect every time, the employees are sweet and welcoming and it’s just overall a great atmosphere. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often but I am willing to drive a hour and a half to get a delicious meal from this restaurant.

Had a craving for chicken Kabos and found this place . You know is good when you open the door and all those flavors and spices hit you. I order the delux Kabob and humus as a side and they did not disappoint. I enjoy every single bite. This is a local run place and I liked that. They put their best foot forward in verything they serve . I will definitely come back .

We stopped in to get a to go meal. Ended up getting the Kabob sampler. Absolutely fantastic. The meat was all moist and flavorful. Bread was crisp. Atmosphere is fairly plain and bare bones, but who cares when the food is this good.

Been going to this place for over a decade now, and it has consistently delivered excellent food at reasonable prices. I've tried countless times to replicate some of these dishes at home, especially the naan, but nothing beats the real thing. All of the kabobs are outstanding, but don't sleep on the rice and chickpeas. Nothing beats scooping up a bit of each with a tear of naan and dousing it in the chutney, which is spicier than you think and provides exactly the kick you want. I no longer live in NoVa, but Afghan Famous is the first place I go anytime I'm back.

WOW! If you are in the mood for authentic Afghani food, this is THE PLACE to get it. It may be well worth taking a trip to this delightful restaurant just to experience the delights of the amazing food this family cooks. Every dish we tried was exceptionally delicious. The Naan (bread) was the best I have ever had. Portions are generous and the lamb Chops were absolutely perfect. The service was friendly and courteous. I have to go back and try more dishes at this delightful restaurant.

We have tried other kabob restaurants in several states and never found a place as good as Afghan Famous Kabob. The kabobs are almost always perfectly cooked and not tough or chewy or dry the way some places are. Both the white and brown rice are very tasty and the side salad is nice and fresh. The chickpeas are absolutely amazing, by far the best we've ever had. I wish I had their chickpea recipe! We have loved this restaurant for almost 20 years and the food has been consistently good every time.

Holy this food was really really good! I ordered pumpkin spinach dish and I was blown away by how tasty it was. Who would of knew pumpkin could be so good. I ordered a 2nd one to go 🤣
I was stuffed so the portion size is worth it’s price point 👌🏽Hard to find good vegan food at places where they don’t typically serve it

Loved the people and the food. Very welcoming and funny! Their food is very reasonably priced and delicious. Will definitely be going again

Got the Deluxe Kabob and the plate was full. The Gyro was just as delicious and all the bread is made in house. Owners are really nice. The online order was down but their customer service over the phone was great. If you like spicy ask for extra spicy sauce - it's refreshing and a good kick at the same time.

Ordered to-go Chicken and lamb kabobs for lunch. The portion was good and delicious. Everything from chicken, lamb to rice and salad were delicious. Naan bread was out of this world. Yes, that green sauce, I need that green sauce at home.😄 Most definitely will eat here again.
John Dixon
Always great food. Usually get takeout as they don't have a liquor license and dining in is not fancy. Again the food is great and the staff are helpful. Love their superdish.
Khalid Ibrahimi
Absolutely delicious. The food is made fresh right in front of you. Definitely try!! They are so friendly. We would certainly return.

28MAY2021 Friday lunch: unlike several recent reviews we experienced courteous service, smiles, thank yous, etc not just with us but with all the customers who went through during lunch.
Besides that, the food was fantastic. We had Boolawnee app. (Baked foldover with seasoned potato mash). Vegetarian entree Kadu Chalau (pumpkin).
Deluxe Kabob which contains in most tasty order: shami, chicken, lamb.
I also love the warm chickpea Chaat (salsa) that you can see in the pictures with the entrees.

Been coming here for years. A nice quiet place to grab lunch or dinner. Always outstanding food, some of the best basmati rice I’ve ever eaten, delicious homemade bread, and family-owned. Love it!

Wife told me that this place had a high rating so on our way out west, stopped by here. Was surprised that the lamb kabob was around $13 (normally it's 14-15 in other places) but boy - I think this was the BEST lamb I've had in a very long time. Typical kabob places, the lamb is slightly to seriously chewy - makes me wonder why I keep getting it - but the lamb here was very tender and juicy. Will definitely come back again! Only critique could be how slow the food comes out but.... if it's that good it's worth the wait. :)

One of the best places in town for something a little different. They serve large meals consisting of well made and very delicious food. Most of their entrees come with a side salad, side of chickpeas, and a large section of house made naan. The quality of the food is superb though given the humble appearance of the place. They cook chicken perfectly and they're braised meats fall apart. Also noteworthy are their sauces, which I am fairly certain are also made in-house and are both exotic and tasty.

Great food. The owner is very nice and cooks the beat rice and kababs. Bread is great with kababs and white sauce.

We have always loved this restaurant until a few weeks ago when we got dinner from there and I found a live bug running in my salad, resembling a baby roach. I called and asked to speak to the manager and have been put off for weeks, never receiving a return call. Called again today, no manager, I was told I could bring my receipt from three weeks ago and be given cash because anyone can call and say they had bugs in their food.

If Afghan Famous Kabob were located in Warrenton, it would be difficult to not eat here every day.

Food is REALLY good, and you can't beat the price. But honestly the owner is SO kind which makes your dining experience much more delightful. He kindly gave me a box for my left over food and added the new sauce on the side for me in a new to go box. Support local business! They have awesome, long sandwich for $5.95, which came with giant naan too, and was very delicious. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I like to experiment with new flavors, my family not that much. I have to say they were very pleased. The food was delicious. I can't get over the chickpeas, they were tender and flavorful. I will visit again. The place can use some remodeling and it could be cleaner, other than that it is hard to find a gastronomic gem like this.
Isis Gonzalez
My daughter, brother and I love this place! We have been regulars for almost 3 years! Amazing food and great value!
Darrell Brooks
Over half an hour and I still don't have my food. Not making this mistake again.
