Red Kabob

The best Kabob in Leesburg, Va. Hands down. Take moment to chat with the owner every time I visit this place. Good food and great people. Btw. There sauces can not be duplicated.

The tzaziki sauce is amazing. No doubt, best in the area, BUT I would like to reiterate that the man working behind the counter (I assume the owner) is obnoxiously overbearing in his advances towards single women. It’s so uncomfortable that I’ve started to call in my order so that I can quickly walk in, get my food, and leave. You would think that this would work, but he still ends up asking my relationship status, whether I have single friends for him to date, and then tries to give me his number for a «special order». One time he even walked out the back door and approached me at my car, insisting that I contact him directly and he would make something special just for me. Each time he asks the same questions and says the same thing, which makes me think that he doesn’t remember me and throws this same line at all women that come here alone. I have heard similar stories from girlfriends as well. Soooo creepy!
That being said, I still gave it three stars cause that gyro is freakin’ good! Lol

Great kabobs, very authentic, best in Loudoun.
However the owner/​server/​cook is very friendly, a little too friendly to single females. My girlfriend 2x picked up food and the first time he asked if she was single and offered his cell phone number to «call if you ever need anything». The second time was less forward but he was still very flirty and made her uncomfortable. From now on, the only time she will go, is if I am with her because it’s very uncomfortable for her.

Ok you generally don’t go to a kabob place for the décor or atmosphere so get over it. Chicken and spinach are my favs… call ahead and it’ll be ready to eat there or take home when you get there. Side note — owner seems to me to be one hard-​working man…

The food is pretty good, not super amazing but enough to satisfy my cravings for decent kebabs. Not much to offer in terms of atmosphere, just kind of a takeout place.
However, I’m not sure I like the staff. I’ve been here once with a friend, and twice late at night alone on my way home from work. Each time the guy working the counter would ask me things like where I work, which location, and do I like it there, etc. Each time I answered his questions but tried to send the message that I really just want to get my food and be on my way, but he didn’t seem to get it. Maybe he was just trying to make conversation, but I just found it weird that he asked those specific questions each time I went there? The third time, he gave me a business card with something scribbled on it (i think his signature?) I’m not sure if it’s meant to be a coupon or what, but I haven’t been back to find out.

We had the chicken kebab and 3 gyros. Excellent gyros! Would definitely come again.

Excellent chicken kebab in Loudoun. I eat 2 – 3 times a week here, never disappointed. Owner make the food ready in no time

Just dropped in this evening to take food home. I was really craving kabobs. The menu is simpler than under the last management. They called it cheaper… I don’t agree. Unlike other kabob restaurants, the platter only came with salad. When I asked to substitute for chickpeas, he gave me a hard time but then relented and said he would swap out. I was on a business call when I checked out and simply took the bag and paid. When I got home to feed my brood, I found the guy only gave me 1 small container of chickpeas for all 3 platter dinners. In addition the naan is awful (not made fresh) and you only get a quarter of a piece for the whole platter. Finally, the taziki sauce is awful… has a mayonnaise taste… NOT IMPRESSED! better off going to the kabob place behind Wegman’s. As a side note, the guy serving me is the new manager.

Best rice in the area and the chicken kabobs are delicious! Beef kabobs have great flavor but are a little on the tough side. Red Kabob is now my go to place for kabobs and rice!

Best afghan food ever. Very fresh and crispy vegetables. Highly recommended if you are in the mood of middle eastern cusine

The food here is great! The service is too. It’s a must at least once a week. We love the chicken kabobs and the gyros. They have excellent dessert and also this great spinach that’s awesome when you add feta to it.
Bottom line, it’s a great local place with good food and I’m glad my dad introduced me to it.

I loved their lamb and chicken kabob were really delicious. I choice to come back there. The spicy yogurt was good, the bread good, the meat were really perfect taste and cook not overheat really tender nice.

Have to say, this place does dole out a decent kabob platter, but the sauce is what makes it good. Similar white sauce to the NYC street cart chicken and rice dishes in some aspect; the sauce here is what makes the kabob shine and pop.
The ground beef kabob was pretty lackluster and dry. So, that’s something I would skip. The chicken was perfectly fine and juicy. Also, as the other reviewers have mentioned, the bread is a bit lackluster too. This place doesn’t make their own bread, but serves up Afghani-​style bread/​naan; it’s not a freshly made naan or pita-​like bread that you may be used to from other kabob joints. The bread here is made in large sheets and cut into rectangles for individual portions. They do have sumac available on the counter for you to spice up your kabobs more, which is a lovely, flavorful touch.
The service here is a little bit awkward and too friendly. Not sure if that’s the norm, but I don’t think I’ll ever come here by myself because the man that was manning the kitchen and counter was pretty aggressive about trying to set people up on dates. So just a forewarning that he may try and give you his number or get your number, or some uncomfortable, awkward mix of the two. But, if you’re looking for a new dating scene, might want to check this place out. Whatever floats your boat.
I would probably come back regardless, just because of the sauce that adorns these kabobs. Though, definitely not alone. The food is good, but the service… well is just a bit odd.

Food ok. Staff friendly, but when asked about picture over counter and was told proudly that it was of Taliban. Will not return.

Sadly the quality has gone down over the past 6 – 7 months. This may be due to less business and the need to cut costs but that just creates a negative feedback loop that is destined to be the demise of your business, IMO.
The last few times we have ordered here the chunks of meat have become noticeably smaller, drier and tougher. The rice, which was always delicious (and I’m not a rice eater), was just kind of «Meh» last time too. Salad portion was still fresh and good, but let’s face it, salad is not what brings you to a kabob joint.
I’d still eat here on occasion, but it’s not going to be a priority.

It was kind of gross.

I liked the kabob and rice. The sauces are great, too. But here’s what I am not a fan about. In my opinion the kabob place should have a delicious fresh bread. Even at the mall’s food court they sell much better bread. At this place bread wasn’t fresh and I didn’t really like it. The meat pieces were on a smaller size, too.
If they had fresh bread I would definitely come back there, since they are pretty close.

This place, like many tasty places, is tucked away with other odd shops in the Bellewood Commons shopping center.
They sure know how to cook! Their chicken kabobs are super moist and seasoned nicely, with the perfect amount of salt. The lamb kabobs are also good, though they taste a bit like they marinated in yogurt too long.
The rice is unbelievable. It’s fluffy without being sticky or too creamy, and they use a delicate hand with the savory or stir-​frying.
My issues are mostly with ambiance; eating here feels lonely and cold, as though I’m intruding. I also don’t care for the bread, too much work for not much flavor. Aren’t carbs supposed to be fun?
3.5 stars.

This is the sort of place you love to go because it makes you feel good to support them.
The owners could not be more friendly or more anxious to please — and the food is pretty darn good. It compares favorably to most kabob places — every one has the things they do well, and things they don’t do quite as well.
The one thing I’m not completely sold on here is their bread — it’s not what I’m used to, and there doesn’t seem to be quite enough of it.
The first part of that may just be me. And the second part is primarily related to the huge portions. I remember the first time I ate here, getting a late lunch. Big mistake. Go for an early lunch, or go for dinner.
(oh — and ask about their special garlic sauce. I haven’t managed to hit there on a night where they have it, but if it’s popular enough maybe they’ll make more!)

Located in the same strip as Red Hot and Blues and Dunkin Doughnuts is this little kabob house. When I first saw the restaurant being built I got really excited about having a kabob joint near my house. I waited and waited and waited. Finally it was complete. Now all I had to do was find time to go try it out.
Well the time finally came. I arrived around 5:15 or so and was greeted by one of the owners right away. This restaurant is owned by a husband and wife team. The wife greeted me first. She asked if I this was my first time and I said yes. She told me a little about the food and I looked over the menu. Looking over the menu I still didn’t know what style of kabob house it was because there were no real names for them. For example #1 was ground beef, #2 was chicken, ect… The #1 description was ground beef, onion, salt, onion, pepper, tumeric, and koobiden seasoning. I decided to go with this.
While I was waiting for my food, a group of about 6 señor ladies walked in. The husband owner was taking his order. He took lots of time with them explaining each dish so they all had an understanding of what they were getting. In my opinion the ladies were just be grumpy old ladies, but the owner, was very patient and kept a smile the whole time. I also talked to him a little bit and both him and his wife are very friendly.
Now my meal came out. I was disappointed because there was no naan or tandori bread served. Instead they serve a thin pita bread. Now on to the meat. The flavor in my opinion was very strong on the spices. I’m not a fan so super strong flavors. The ground beef itself was very very moist and cooked perfectly. Not a dry piece of meat anywhere. Next, the portion size is only one skewer of meat. In every other place I’ve gone to it’s been two. The price was $ 7.99, that’s about on par with other kabob houses.
I’m sort of stuck on how to rate this place. Have I had better? Yes. Is this place O.K. yes it is. I’ve heard from other people that the lamb is great, so I’ll go back and try them again, but get the lamb next time.
