Kabob Bazaar - Arlington

I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for many years and I absolutely love the food! The kebabs are incredibly delicious, and I have a special fondness for their lamb neck dish. The service is always exceptional, and there is a gentleman who is consistently there and provides outstanding service, making the dining experience truly enjoyable!

Excellent eatery tucked away in busy Clarendon. The owner is extremely friendly and made sure that our food arrived as soon as possible. He also made sure to check in with us to confirm everything was okay. The lamb sandwich was certainly the right move. It will come with an abundance of lamb, and healthy portion of side salad. Ive heard Persian food is all about striking a balance between the heavy and light components and kabob bazaar did great in this regard. Plus you will likely have plenty of left overs. The ambience is delightful too. When we were there a family was having a birthday party and for what it's worth, this restaurant would be great for that kind of thing.

I always walk by this place and want to try it but didn't get around to it until a few weeks ago. Placed a pickup order and it was ready a couple minutes before they said it would so pickup was very fast. The employees at the door and the bar were both very friendly. We ordered the kubideh kabob, jujeh kabob, kashk-e-bademjan, and a side of shireen polo and plain basmati. The chicken was surprising juicy (I don't love chicken breast) but the kubideh was just a tad dry. Both had very very good flavor though and I would get both again. The kashk-e-bademjan (eggplant dip) was incredible and I will probably get this every time we go here it was that good. The shireen polo was a tad sweet for me but still really good. We want to try the other 2 specialty rices as well, but the plain basmati is hard to beat. It looks like it still has saffron and some kind of butter or oil on it, it was anything but plain, so good. Last thing is the portion sizes. 2 meals and 2 sides was enough for probably 3.5 meals for us so the portions were definitely generous Will absolutely be back to try more of the food!

3 stars is very generous for the food but the service was friendly and on point. I tried lamb neck, chicken kabob and koubideh. Koubideh was not good at all, the other two dishes were average. Overall not an experience that I would repeat or recommend.

Food is good. It meat could be more tender. Atmosphere is nice. Service is excellent.
