Grill Kabob

The same owners as Reston Kebob, best kebobs on the area. HUGE gyros! So glad they are still nearby!

When I worked in Herndon I came here all the time. Delicious and the staff is so friendly. Super casual and laid back, and totally affordable! Try the chickpeas– I would love to be able to cook them and have them taste so wonderful!

The food was so so. I didn’t particularly like it. Everything from the meat to the rice and sauce had a vinegary taste. I was looking to replace the Reston kabob since it closed down but the flavor does not compare. The people were nice and there was no line. I guess that should’ve been a hint since we were the only ones in there.

Very good for what it is. Have I had better kabob? Yes… Did it do the job for lunch? Yes.
I wish the bread that came with it was fresher (and warmer) and the lettuce portion of the salad was given more thought. As for the chicken, it is tender and juicy. Worth a try if you are in the Herndon area.

My favorite Kabob place in Herndon! Both the sauces are top notch and the food is excellent! You can either order a wrap of the kabob, only a salad or both with rice if you’re feeling adventurous. The price is good and the best part is the sauces. Can’t find the recipes online but I’d like to know if anyone knows how to make it.

It good best part is the white sauce for your kabobs. Busy at lunch may not be a table available. Gyro is also good.

I come here to eat everyday after I get off of work for lunch. The chicken kabob is amazing and extremely flavorful. I top it off with the white sauce they have and put that on the soft, delicious bread they have as well. The owners are always welcoming and the workers are very nice. The only way I’ll stop coming here is if they move to another location! 5 stars for Grill Kabob

I like doing a take out from this place. Not a very great place but I think they have a decent food. It’s OK for once in a while.

I came here while out working. Not bad. The gyro was huge. I was surprised it wasn’t cut fresh like in places I’ve been in the past. It wasnt as flavorful add I thought it would be.

Gyro is huge, I cut mine in half and saved the second part for another meal. It’s also packed full of meat, definitely had a little bit of yogurt sauce to top it all off.
Chicken and beef kabob– skip the beef, the chicken is some of the best we’ve had, the spice combo is great and the chicken is very tender. Get both rices, soooo good, the white one is perfectly buttery and the brown is deliciously flavored.
Although I am a hater of mint yogurt sauce (dill all the way!) I enjoyed this yogurt sauce, very much. Perfect match.
The food didn’t come out right away, which was nice, since everything was cooked fresh.
Will definitely be back!

I come here for the Gyro sandwich. Excellent and it’s only like ten bucks with a drink. It’s like 3lbs of goodness.

Simple, cooked to order, and huge portions. I really enjoyed my lunch here, and the selections on their menu was even better than I expected. I wasn’t expecting much from a strip mall restaurant, but I would definitely go back again whenever I’m in the area.

Good food. The meat is not like what I used to get in Turkey, but the bread is very close. I am a big eater and was not able to finish the platter. The #8 was super good. For lunch, it takes a little long to get your food, but if you can wait it is well worth the wait.

one of the better kabob houses I’ve been to — the food has flavor and they don’t shy away from giving you the green and cream sauce… the Green sauce is spicy and definitely one of the BEST ever! Would definitely recommend — great place for lunch but try going a little before or after the rush — it takes about 10 – 15 minutes to get the meat hot and ready to serve.

Time for an up-​to-​date review of Grill Kabob, since many of the reviews are at least 3 months to 3 years old from today. I actually really enjoyed my lunch here, and had zero expectations upon arrival, because kabob places are a dime a dozen in the area, right?
Slightly different means to the same end, order at a counter, wait for your number to be called, pick up your tray brimming with whatever chicken/​kabob/​falafel magic you have ordered. Sit, smother with sauces, enjoy.
At Grill Kabob, two words: GREEN SAUCE. I’ve never had anything like it at any other kabob shops. There’s a bottle of this magical concoction on every table, and it’s pleasantly spicy and flavorful, so Spice Fiend approves. There’s also a bottle of what would appear to be a yogurt-​style white sauce, but to me, it tastes far too mayonnaise-​y or ranch dressing-​y to be a contender for best yogurt sauce.
You’ve got your typical selection of chicken and beef kabobs, pictorial menus if you don’t know the difference between kibbe and kafta and kabob, or you could just wise up and order their $ 8 lunch platter special. Served with a veritable mountain of fluffy rice, choose 3 side items from their counter display, and walk away happy. I opted for the chicken curry (mix of tender white/​dark meat in a curry sauce), chick peas (in a traditional, if slightly oily, sauce), and the coup d’etat, the spinach!
Of course, whatever you order is served with a fresh piece of gooey yet crispy bread so big and yet so delicious you want to eat it all, yet you’ll want to chastise yourself for such a gratuitous carb-​fest. But it’s SO GOOD!
Bottled drinks, fountain drinks, counter service, don’t expect to be delighted or engaged in conversation by the staff and line chefs, but that’s not what you come to a place like Grill Kabob for anyway, right?

When I crave kabobs, this is the place I go to. I first became a fan at Dulles Mall as they have one located in the food court. After finding one in Herndon, not far from my house, I was very pleased. I usually order the chicken and lamb combo, which usually lasts me for two meals. They give a very generous portion of a full skewer of both chicken and lamb, yellow and white long grain rice, a small salad, naan, and the yogurt sauce and green sauce (delicious!).
This place is usually empty. I rarely see anyone dining in, however, I suggest ordering your meal ahead because it can take 15−20min for them to prepare your food. Trust me, its worth the wait though. However, my only «eh» moment is that naan is really only good right out of the tandoori oven. I find that once I get home its not fluffy and wonderful, but cold and meh.
One thing I don’t like is that a meal does not come with a drink. –_–

the green sauce is BACK! A coworker went there today, and I asked her to please bring me back a container of the green sauce … you know, just so I could see if its fixed.
It is better than ever! spicy! not mayonaise-​y! SOOO good. best green sauce in town. this place is back on my list. Can’t wait to go back now!

Good food for the price.
Restaurant is clean.
Chickpeas are the best I have tried at the many kabob houses I have been to.
The white yogurt sauce is great! I always ask for extra yogurt sauce, never been charged for it nor given attitude by the employees for asking for more.
Quick service, I always call ahead to have mine ready when I get there.

~$ 10 for a chicken kabob platter. It comes with a salad, 2 kinds of rice, and bread. Overall, I thought the chicken was on-​par with Reston Kabob’s. The «sauce» is a little creamy for me though (same as Reston Kabob), I prefer it a little lighter. The good thing is that the bottles on the table felt cold which means they are refrigerated.
If you’re in the area, you should check it out.

Good kabobs, and they have what I consider the second best spicy kabob sauce in the area (behind Reston Kabob). And they leave bottles of them out on the tables for you to use as much or as little as you like. Portions are generous unlike some places (Midtown Kabob I’m looking at YOU) and prices average. They serve the usual kabobs, gyros, curried vegetables and even falafel. If you get your food to go I notice they put your bread in a separate paper bag, which I thought a nice touch. Some places just throw your bread in the plastic bag on top of the styrofoam container, and others actually fold the bread and put it inside with the rest of your food. I’ve found the added benefit of the paper bag is the steam from the hot bread actually keeps your bread soft and chewy. Not sure if this was intentional but I like it.
As has been pointed out in previous reviews, parking can be a hassle during peak lunch hours but otherwise I haven’t had any problems finding a spot nearby. Interior has always been clean when I’ve come by but it did get a bit smoky inside from the grill on my last visit. They have a few outdoor tables which is nice.
