After soo many years ! still an amazing place to get food.
Maggie MacGSeptember 20, 2015I did not love this place. They don't clean the spinach thoroughly and it can be pretty gritty.
C JAugust 24, 2014Avoid the green salad. In addition to avoiding a meh salad, you get your choice of a SECOND side! (Get the chickpeas.)
Dexter LeeJuly 21, 2015It was okay. Had lamb kabobs and lamb chops. Not as tender as I had expected. Also, crowded, small space. Advise calling in order and picking it up.
Get the Lamb Chop kabob. It's amazing and relatively cheap for lamb chops!
JefeJanuary 25, 2012I knew when the lot was full of cabs, I was at a good place. The lamb kabob is superb.
In addition to having great kabobs (I usually get the chicken, bone-in), this place is open 24 hours. Perfect for late-night cravings!
Ruvania DeveauxAugust 11, 2013Didn't meet my expectations. People were raving about this place in their reviews on yelp but the food didn't make me want to go back. It has a lot of spices but somehow lacks flavor which is baffling
Marc AbantoJanuary 13, 2010Go to Kabob Palace and make sure to ask for extra yogurt sauce with whatever you order. If you do this after midnight, call in your order or it may take awhile.
Skip the line by callling in your order. Food is fantastic.
Best kabobs in DC. Try the daily special for something different.
The lamb chops are the way to go - tender and delicious.
If you want more rice and whatever, say "no" when they ask if you want salad. Chickpeas rock, as do the green peas.
Ken LlacunaOctober 17, 2013Don't throw away whole piece of bread. Watch one get intercepted and make it back into kitchen.
Scott RodmanSeptember 29, 2011Give yourself an hour to get your food, food is great but takes forever!
Mohammed YasinSeptember 15, 2015They serve free cockroach in water instead of lemon!!!! Disgusting place to eat. I am never going to this place again. there were cockroaches crawling under the tables and wall!!!!

"Everything is overpriced, but it's convenient and open late. Iced coffee is sugary as a soda and perfect for whatever ails you."
