Located on Main Street in Fairfax, VA, Kabob Corner Fairfax has carved a niche in the Afghan culinary scene. Reviews highlight the restaurant's signature chicken kabob thigh (K2) as a must-try. Featured prominently in customer feedback, this dish showcases tender dark meat paired with mildly fragrant rice, creating a delightful harmony of flavors. Jessica Kim captures the essence perfectly, describing the rice as a "salty little flavor bomb" when combined with the accompanying oil.

The sides at Kabob Corner are equally celebrated. Diners rave about the eggplant, which is tender and addictive, as well as the soft chickpeas that compliment the savory mains. The friendly owners enhance the experience, making you feel like part of their family. They have been serving delectable meals for over 18 years, as noted by Carol Cordova.

Guests appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the chance to innovate with the provided sauces, particularly the zesty green chutney. With dishes that tantalize the taste buds and a commitment to customer care, Kabob Corner Fairfax promises a culinary experience that lingers long after the last bite. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, the restaurant's dedication to flavor and service is undeniable. Don't miss out on this gem!

Reviews For Kabob Corner Fairfax

I love this place—one of my top five places to eat! Used to be a weekly regular years ago and I still remember the taste 4 years later. My order is always the chicken kabob thigh (K2) and eggplant side. Sometimes I get the chickpeas too. K2: The dark meat is tender and easy to cut into—very flavorful. The rice is mild, fragrant, and tasty to eat on its own. The mildness of the rice complements the chicken well. My favorite part is mixing the rice with the oil—it’s like a salty little flavor bomb. Comes with a little salad too. Not pictured: two sauces to dip your chicken in that I can’t find at other kabob places. Eggplant: The eggplant and veggies are so soft. I love the taste of the oil. It is addicting! Pairs well with the chicken and/or salt. I love ordering extras to eat at home. Chickpeas: Another good one! The chickpeas are soft in a soup-like sauce. Again, another flavor that pairs well with the saltiness of the main dishes. Truly, no other kabob place can compare. The side dishes, especially, are on their own level. The owners are great and friendly to chat with too. You can tell they care about their customers. Though I can’t visit as often, I always hope that they’re well and am happy to see their restaurant survive the pandemic.

My Husband was craving for some good Kabob and we were on the area. First time visiting and definitely coming back, food was great specially the lamb. We have a small chat with the owner and he said they have been there for more than 18 years and I can see why! 10/10

I love this spot! Their fresh bread is to die for, everything is so flavorful, and you can tell a lot of heart goes into the food. We ordered a two kabob meals, hummos, and mantu, and extra bread (of course). The owner is super kind and personally knows his regular customers. 11/10 would recommend and hoping to get to regular status soon!

I wanted something different, and this place gave my taste buds a fabulous treat. After asking the friendly counter-jockey about favorites, we ordered the K2 (Chicken) and K5 (Lamb) plates with chickpea and eggplant sides. Our server got us started with a small portion of soup while we waited for the other items to be prepared fresh. After about 10 minutes max the plates were ready - large chunks of meat and two kinds of rice, sides, a small salad, and a generous portion of bread. Our host suggested putting the eggplant mixture on the bread and drizzling it with the white sauce, which I'm assuming was a yogurt base. Delicious! The sauces were all provided on the side so you can experiment. The green chutney has some kick, and amped up the meats, though they tasted great with or without it. We stuffed ourselves and left with boxes for a second round tomorrow. Forget burgers and pizza and treat yourself to something far more interesting!

Great chicken kebabs and the lentil soup is amazing. Main guy out front is so good at his job as well. Anytime I am in Fairfax City area, I try to support this business.

Kabob Corner has probably the best platter in Fairfax. The portions are generous, the eggplant side is delicious, and the bill is easy on pocket. Plus, the shop is owned by an Afghan family who are very friendly. They bring authentic Afghani taste to their food. Strongly recommend everyone to visit it!

I usually don’t give reviews. Came in for lunch one day. The food here was absolutely delicious. I had K5 (lamb kabob). The amount of food for the price is hard to find nowadays. Not to mention the food itself was some of the best overall food I’ve had in a while. I eat out a lot, so Kabob Corner is a gem. To the owner, your hospitality is greatly appreciated, and I will be visiting very often.
