5 reviews for Kabob Corner
I've been there twice and you get a lot of food for the price (especially the nan type bread). Interior is nice and surprisingly friendly people too (but I think it depends on how busy they get). The lamb kabob was especially tasty. The side dishes are very good too (eggplant is awesome).
Better than Moby Dick!
I just placed another order to Kabob Corner, I am writing whilst waiting. It is the only restaurant programmed into my phone, so I obviously am a fan. This place does Afghan food right, the location is clean, modern and well maintained. It is easy to just hang out there and watch TV, although I live down the street so I just take it to go. The food is fabulous, the eggplant side dish is the pinnacle in my opinion. The K7 Lamb chops are fantastic too. You really cant go wrong with any chicken or lamb. It's all Halal meat. What that means to me is the meat quality is high. The hummus is also to die for, and the bread is as authentic as it gets. Highly recommended.
Very clean, good decor, wifi. Good sides. Good prices, bigger then average kabob place menu, with a good choice of veggie options for the non meat eaters. Kubideh was tender and great. Nan was right the hell on. Chewy, flaky, great. I hate when its not chewy.
Best Kabobs overall I've had since I left the Middle East...
Kabob Corner is a new afghan restaurant to open up in Fairfax. Since I'm still desperately searching for a go-to afghan kabob place in Fairfax I had to stop in.
Inside is casual, but not the sketchy hole-in-the-wall feel that most kabob places (at least the good ones) have. The menu offers much more than just kabobs, with an assortment of appetizers, entrees, and sides. They all sounded good, but I was here for kabobs.
I got the chicken and kubideh combo which came with bread, salad, rice, and side vegetable. One thing to note is how many vegetables you have to choose from. In addition to the standard chickpeas or spinach, they also offer a cauliflower dish, as well as sauteed pumpkin. The chickpeas and rice were both pretty bland and crappy. The bread was outstanding, with a moist and doughy wheat bread flavor to it. Salad was actually pretty good, and an upgrade from typical lettuce leaf, piece of tomato and piece of cucumber that you usually get. This was an actual salad with a light yogurt dressing, soumac, and fresh greens and vegetables. The kabobs were a mixed bag. The chicken pieces were pretty small, and not very plump or juicy. Flavor was decent, but I needed more meat. The kubideh was actually excellent, though maybe a tad undercooked. I really like how flavorful it was though and you could see tons of herbs residing in the juicy middle.
Kabob Corner has good prices and great variety that would make me return, but I'll likely continue my search. They do a pretty good job, but it's still not the overwhelmingly definitive kabob experience that I'm searching for.
After a long day of work... I find what I need is a .... kabob?!
Wait a minute. I know you don't usually see kabobs on my review. I was at an appointment in the office building next door and could not resist. It smelled incredible. From the outside it is not what you are expecting, but as soon as you come in the clean, modern decor is calming and comforting. the bathroom is fresh and modern, too. Actually one of the first things that attracted me to this place was the free WIFI. I'm actually writing this review from the restaurant.
I ordered K8. it comes with a lamb kabob and chicken kabob. The meat is super fresh and tender. It is well-seasoned and they give you alot. It comes with white or brown rice and a side salad. Even the salad has a light dressing and herbs. The salad is good; chopped and crisp. The tandori bread is as big as your thigh (no joke) and crisp, light, and yum. The meal also comes with a green dipping sauce: perfect balance of coolness and acidity. DIP EVERYTHING IN IT. I'm half way through my meal. And still thinking, "OMG, this is a lot of food. The pictures are modest, and should come with a warning. "FOOD may appear smaller than actually served." There is only one person in the restaurant, but I like that. It's not noisy. OH, the chickpeas. Apparently it's there most popular side dish. It taste like really comforting chili, but... not quite chili. It's good. I'm eating the bread with it. I also ordered (not on the menu) side of french fries. Standard crinkle-cut fries with seasoned salt, but I was craving it. It was good, and not soggy.
You know how sometimes Indian food smells? This place doesn't. And even if it isn't greasy food, it'll feel you up. It's full of flavor. If you've gotten bored of thai, chinese, or indian. Try this place. It's not too spicy, but has enough heat in the food to warm you up on a cold day. It's also bang for your buck!
