The food is delicious and always comes out hot. The service is great and the ambiance is perfect. No ambiance since they focus on the food.

The place is a bit tight, but clean. Parking is so-so at best. But the food and service are top notch. My family and I have tried several of the dishes here and have really liked them all. Reasonably priced also. Worth a visit.

If I could give 10 stars I would! RKH is by far the best kept secrets in Arlington, Virginia. Selfishly, I hope it stays that way, because parking can be atrocious! But, the food is absolutely divine! This no-frills restaurant offers the best kabobs I have ever had. When I stop by to visit this past week, I ordered my usual. I ordered the boneless chicken kebab. It came with rice, a small salad, and curry chickpeas. I could have made a meal with the chickpeas and rice alone! They are so darn good! If you are looking for service with a smile, you may or may not get that. I don't think they do a lot of smiling. But, you will receive good customer service and great food! Dont hesitate giving them a try. RKH will become one of your favorites as well. Happy eating!

Quite simple. I hope you don't believe me and go there and try it for yourself. You will thank me. I have told many friends over the past 20 years to go here. Nobody has said I was wrong. Go there, enjoy. Come back to zYelp and give me a thumbs up.

Put simply - this is the real deal. Nothing to look at (zero ambiance), but the food is just spectacular and always has been. I've been going to this place for more than 20 years - and the only change is now they accept credit cards! The lamb chop kabobs and regular lamb kabobs are DIVINE. Their chickpeas are epic. I get multiple side orders in order to freeze some! Their special oven churns out the absolute best naan, and be sure you get their yogurt sauce (crack!). Don't be turned off if the guys taking orders at the counter are brusque. The food is just too good to care. I've gotten their homemade curry dishes that are inside the case when you go to the counter to order, and they're quite tasty. But the lamb is just too good not to order. Just do yourself and your stomach a favor and GO.

Great food that's fresh and cooked spectacularly with amazing authentic flavors. The service is prompt and friendly, and prices are very reasonable. The interior is fine but a little run down with some wobbly tables and chairs, etc. Would definitely recommend and would return.

No-frills restaurant offering kebabs & other Pakistani staples at super-cheap prices. Came here with my coworkers for lunch. At the recommendation of a patron while we scanned the menu, we tried the Chicken Karahi and it was slammin'! The flavors and spices were all there. And, it tastes very authentic! The menu stated portion for two, but the dish can easily appease a party of 3 which we were. The karahi comes with 2 naans which were absolutely delicious....perfect for dipping and slurping up the bits of juicy marinated chicken and sauce. Also, our dishes came with a small side salad and tzatziki (cucumber-dill) like sauce that was a bit on the lack-lister side, but edible and complimented the spiciness of the main dish....which was all about the Chicken Karahi. Overall, great food! My coworkers and I left this place bellies full and half comatose from the delicious eats. We were useless at work to say the least for the rest of the day....and I desperately needed a nap. lol If you're looking for a decent desi place, with authentic Kabobs, Pakistani and Punjabi taste...then this is a place is worth a shot. Ravi Kabob House gets a good star in my book! Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. My only grip is the ordering process. The restaurant has 2 entrances and 2 counters to order on opposite sides. The counter where you order karahi only takes cash, which was weird but the other counter took cash/credit card. Giving it a 4.5 star....1/2 star deduction because of the customer service & confusion in ordering.

Ravi Kabob is a gift to the United States. Their food is excellent, the service is swift, the food is excellent, the parking is often challenging, the food is excellent, and it's only four letters. Also the food is excellent. I know, I know, it's got Kabob in the name and you're keen on things like chicken tikka. Hear me out. Get the lamb karahi. Unless you're 100% totally and absolutely and unequivocably against lamb. Then okay, maybe try the chicken karahi. It's perhaps the second best karahi you can get in the area (imo obvz). Feeds two hungry adults or perhaps 3 reasonable adults. Pair that with some choley and haleem (on weekends) and you have a meal fit for kings. Swing by after your meal next door for some tea (you'll need to add sugar) and you've got desert covered too. Ugh, I should not be writing a review for this place this late at night. Pantry here I come.
