If you are craving ground chicken or beef kabobs, please look no further, Shalimar Charcoal Kabob has got to be the BEST kabob house in Northern Virginia. Very recently, I needed to go out of state to visit my parents who have no kabob houses near them and that was the one thing my elderly father was craving.

Are used to come here with coworkers over 20 years ago. I coincidentally drove by with my daughter a few weeks ago and For the last few weeks I have been craving my favorite dish from there… The papri chaat appetizer.

I’m definitely gonna make more of an effort to come back around this area and stop back in! Kid-friendliness: Safe, clean, friendly environment
Me and my family went to enjoy the buffet special at Shalimar Kabob and I am very satisfied with our experience. The owners set up variety dishes with authentic taste for a very good price. Only 15.99 for all this delicious food. “Loved” their Tandoori chicken Hariyali boti were bomb and specially served in a buffet. The atmosphere of the restaurant and hospitality was much appreciated. Delicious food and reasonably priced. It can’t get better than this. We will visit much more often for their buffet and weekend specials.
The food here is outstanding and the service is excellent. The buffet is one of the best I have seen most buffets have limited options but this one is expansive with multiple meat based curries and the vegetarian options are outstanding as is the kheer (which I recommend highly! . Would definitely recommend to others!
