Bread & Kabob

Good kabobs could have a bit more for the price you paid but overall the food and customer service was great. I won’t eat there but defntly a take out spot

While you may pass this for the next middle eastern restaurant in the area, don’t. Go back and take a look at Bread and Kabob. Why? Because you get more than what you pay for. Going with the #1 kubideh kabob, the portions are huge. However, I didn’t like having to pay extra for bread but all in all, not a big deal. Don’t expect a lot of frills inside, there are none. But the food is the star.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered lamb kabobs; wasn’t bad but wasn’t great either. Most of the stuff was spicy, which was fine for me but might not be for someone else. There was a lot of rice, but only two small sticks of meat and while it was cooked well, it also wasn’t very flavorful. Overall, average.

Bread and Kabob is good, but not great.
Bread and Kabob is a small, somewhat hidden Middle Eastern place in Falls Church near Bailey’s Crossroads. It’s not exactly clean or inviting — more or less the sort of place you’d expect to exist on Columbia Pike, honestly. Service is nice but maybe a bit brash. Prices are a bit high for lunch or otherwise.
I got the Steak Kabob, which consisted of a single meat skewer, a ton of rice, and some sort of chickpea soup. I also got some of the naan. The skewer itself was tasty but perhaps a bit wanting — frankly, considering it was the more expensive item on the menu ($ 11), I was hoping for more meat. The rice was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. The soup was small, but surprisingly good. The naan was similarly good and, as is true to form, almost unreasonably huge. The accompanying green sauce — which I slathered on virtually everything — added a lot, as it was the perfect accompaniment to the entire meal.
Really, had the meat been a bit more plentiful, I’d have been perfectly satisfied. Some of the photos appear to indicate that the chicken and lamb skewers are bigger, which may be the ticket. Still, what I got was good, so I may go back some time.

Disgusting!!! This place was filthy and looked and smelled like a gas station bathroom. The food was okay but then my husband and I had horrible stomach pains. After we bought the food, I saw that the floor behind the counter (where they grill the kabob) was completely flooded and the workers were just walking around in it. Go at your own risk!

I like this spot a lot. I’ve come here weekly now. If you’re looking for good kabob for to-​go and is open late, come here. This is the spot for you. I always get their Kubideh with rice and it hits the spot every time. I prefer this place over Z Kabob, which is down the street, because the Kubideh greasy/​oily. It’s grilled and charred. And the green sauce is awesome. A touch spicy but just the right amount. The prices aren’t bad either. I took a star off for the facility itself. It could use an upgrade. It’s not a deal breaker, though, as I always order pick up. Good spot. Will be coming back.

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!
I’ve been coming here as a child. This is my goto Kabob joint. It’s been there a good 20 years they are doing everything right!!! I take all my friends there and i have yet to disappoint any of them. The bread is always fresh and delicious.

This place have the best beef kabob I ever try and the naan is delicious, and the salads are good too

Green sauce is unmatched here.
You can’t beat it. Kabobs are pretty good. Chicken and then steak kabob are my favorites. Chick peas are good too and the bread is amazing. I would add 1 more star if they could stay consistent with their kobideh kabobs.
At the end of the day this place is way better then Ravi or kabob palace or any other kabob place in va that I have tried so far. And believe me I have probably tried them all.
You don’t come here for the ambiance you come here when your hungry and want good food

Fresh bread made to order which is a definite plus. The lamb kabob is tender and tasty. the koobideh is so-​so, I prefer Shamshiry for the koobideh.

Our family has been frequenting Bread and Kabob for over 20 years. Mainly, we come for their dizzy, a Persian-​like stew. It is tasty and can cure a common cold in a heart beat! Truly great quality. One of the new owner, an Arab gentleman is always very polite and professional. He always goes out of his way for his patrons! Some of the staff are nice and polite. However, the lead Spanish Staff member up front is always in a bad mood and rude. He truly used to be better. Now he acts like he wish that everyone leave and not ask him for anything! I wish the owners take note because this is bad business! Have seen him treat patrons very disrespectful right before my eyes! The lead Staff is the heart and soul of your business and he is not a good representation of your place.

Great price for bread kabob and rice. well done platters of kabob. Liked their house salad too. Definitely a hole in the wall place that serves good quality food. Should have online ordering though it will do much better. Their mint sauce is perfect along with their kabobs and huge size of afghan naan ! I love eating here when I’m really hungry and dont want to spend too much at the same time.

Today I ordered chicken kabob with bread for carry out. The chicken wasn’t the most teneder or juicy, and the piieces were pretty small compared to other places. I will say that I loved their spicy yogurt sauce, but not much else was worth noting. Maybe some day this place will rise to their former glory.

Excellent option for quick lunch. Love the mince kabob and chicken. They make bread on the premises and it’s just delicious.
This place is not fancy just really really good food simple style.

How sad that there are no Iranian kabob places left in Falls Church. Another classic Iranian restaurant that has been taken over by south Americans. Perhaps one of the worst kabob’s I have ever had. Not a single middle eastern person in this place.
I ordered the chicken and koobideh combo. One of the easiest kabob’s to prepare. The rice was dry, the chicken was over cooked and the koobideh was below average. The place is called «Bread» and kabob, yet they don’t even give you any bread. WTF.
I guess all the Iranians have left Falls Church. Oh well, lesson learned.

I have never had a dryer kubideh kabob. The corners of the bread was charred which meant the parts that werent were stiff as a board. I went to the front and told the guy that its unacceptable. He offered something else… I ate the chicken; nothing special. Bread was good tho the second time.
Seriously? this place is averaging a 3.5? Rate properly people… I just wasted my money in this place.

The Good: The bread really is good. It taste like it’s made fresh and is huge. I ordered the Chicken Soltani which is one chicken kabob and one kubideh kabob. It comes with a small «salad», roasted tomato and onion, and bread. The chicken was moist but kubideh is more flavorful and tender.
The Bad: The parking lot is terrible and awkward. The décor is outdated, falling apart and dirty.
The Ugly: The kitchen is in the back but the grill is in the front. At one point the cook carried a dripping skewer of marinated raw meat from the back of the restaurant to the front. It dripped on the floor. I did not see them clean it up. This is so gross and unsanitary.
I don’t think I’ll be back again…

This place is hand down the best value for Kabobs in this area. If you are going there for the first time, I would definitely recommend the Chicken Sultani — a combination with chicken and beef skewers. All this for $ 8.50 is a great value when you consider that Grill Kabob in Tysons charges around $ 15 for the same kind of Combo. You can get the platter with rice but I personally prefer the freshly baked tandoori naan.
Lately, the service has become much much better. I’m giving this place 5 stars simply because it has great food at very good price along with very friendly service.

This is a definite favorite lunch haunt of ours. Though I’ve eaten here many times, I’ve never gotten the lamb chops. I had no idea what I was missing. I am told they marinate them for 24 hours before cooking them. They are so tender and delectable and they don’t skimp on how many they give you. Then there is the bread — I love bread and this is awesome bread, though one of these days I should probably try the rice.
Another thing I love about this place — the people. They are always friendly. I look forward to my next lunchtime visit.
I should really work my way through the menu, but I’m not sure if I will ever get anything other than the lamb chops again… yummy!

Came here on my way home after work on a Monday around 7pm. I actualy thought this place was Mogul at first. The exterior is very unassuming and one could easily deduce this place epitomizes hole in the wall restaurants. I ordered the number 3 meal which included chicken and beef kabobs over rice. Total came out to $ 12.55 which in my opinion is way over priced. When I got home to sample this meal I was sorely disappointed at how bland the basmati rice was, and how dry and flavorless the chicken was. The ground beef kabob was the only thing that tasted okay.
I would not recommend this place when you have much cheaper and much better alternatives such as Mirage which is just a block or two down the street. Mogul is also very close-​by and offers good food too.
