Im not sure whats with all these 4-5 star reviews... This place is well below mediocre. The food actually made me physically sick. Keeping in mind, I have an iron stomach and its a rarity for me to have any food grumblings. The kabobs were poorly seasoned and unevenly cooked. The rice reminded me of the little plastic ends of shoelaces and tasted about as appetizing. The karahi looked like an omelette that had exploded, been stepped on, thrown off a cliff, and then sloppily packaged in a container that broke open - thoroughly soaking the rest of the order in a bland river of grease. With every bite of that karahi... it felt like Rambo was leading an assault on my taste buds. It was like watching First Blood as a target. The naan was overly starchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and frankly resembled more of a science experiment than anything that was pass for "edible". Overpriced? BEYOND overpriced. If the food was amazing I would gladly pay almost double to other places. Without a second thought. I would not eat this food again if it was free. Or hell, even if they paid me. If going here, be sure to put aside a few days of vacation for the ensuing food poisoning that is possible to follow as in my case. Im not sure if it was just that revolting or maybe the ingredients were held at improper temperatures - whatever. My temperature when thinking about this dining experience I can only describe as absolutely furiously blazing hot.

The guy who was working the register sneezed three times! I even said "bless you" and then went into the kitchen and proceeded to make salads with his bare hands! Since I had already paid $12 for the chicken platter I just scrapped the salad off and crossed my fingers. Thats the only thing I saw him touch with his bare hands so I feel a little confident that Im dying. The other two in the kitchen was cooking with bare hands as well but I didnt see them coughing or sneezing. The ceiling was also leaking in a few places. While there it started to get crowded and I felt bad knowing the guy didnt wash his hands not once. The Food was good though.

I live in the area and I love going to this place. Ive never tried the buffet, but weve ordered many of the different combinations of the King Platters. My favorite is the lamb one, mmm! The place is clean, small (who cares), and service is totally fine. For those who complain about being treated badly for being the wrong people, I just dont get it! I am Latina and I look white, but I have never been treated badly. Im more likely to be treated badly by my own people than these guys. For everyone else, take a chance on the food, mmm!! :)

I had very upsetting experience I ordered the delivery and when it arrived there made a mistake in the order, and when I called the store they said we are sorry and they will give me a discount next time. They werent welling to resolved the issue of the same day they said they are sorry but we cant do a thing for it, if you want to the same order we have to charge you again, this so stupid. I want the owner to know that people want the same ordered the same day not a discount next time!!! Its not my mistake it yours !!!!!

they dont even deserve 1 star. If you are trying to order it from mason delivery, do not order. order placed at 1:20PM and after 1 and half hours later food still havnt show up. when we tried to call and cancelled order, they said they cannot do refund due to online order. few minutes later driver called and start yelling at me. I am going to call credit card company and dispute the charge. I do not understand it is so hard to get a refund. just do not order food from here until u pick up or eat there.

Have tried this place several times and its always disappointing! The ground beef kabob (Shami) tastes almost like plain hamburger .. very little seasoning. The Chicken is usually under or over cooked with little seasoning too. Rice is acceptable. If you get carryout, they lay the bread (a small portion) on top of the food and its soggy by the time you get home. Made up my mind — this was my last visit!! Too many other good to great kabob house around...

Twice now they have made it difficult to order. They do not listen over the phone and give you attitude if they mess up the order they wont fix it and make you take the wrong food. it took a hour to get the food and it is 2 mins away from my work. the food is okay but not worth the awful service they give. I will not be eating from here again.

I have not yet had a bad experience with this Kabob joint. I have only done carry out, I am trying the delivery service. The food is good relatively speaking. I have liked the kabobs and karahi plater. I normally get chicken and lamb. This is not a fine dining establishment it is a quick decent place to grab a bite.

Chicken and ground beef is delicious! The service is friendly, delivery is pretty dang fast. I live in ffx city and I get my food usually in 20 to 30 mins and mind you it takes 10 mins just to make the food if they start th second u order. Ive been in the store too. Its clean and cozy. Try it, youll love it

Middle eastern Afghani restaurant on Main street of city Fairfax. They are offering traditional Afghani and middle eastern food. Lunch buffet is famous amongst all. Try it to treat your taste buds with Afghani cuisine.

The Karahi and Combination meals are excellent. Everything about this place is fantastic. Only pitfall is the prices are just a tad high.

Food is below average yet very expensive. Inside is also pretty dirty and the cashier who handles the money also handles the food.
