Grill Kabob

We love their food and cannot give a 5 rating since they have shorted us on the chick peas and also were out of them so we have to try and get those chick peas back! LOL! their spicy sauce along with the white sauce is a hit combo.

This place is awesome and a gem in manassas mall. It’s really the only reason my coworkers and I would go to the mall. Large portions for a great price. One meal can feed two!

Well we thought this was our replacement for all other kabob places (as mentioned in our previous review), it was also mentions that they made it clear that they will close as soon as we are done. We have been there a few times since then and everyone we usually get there around 8, they close at 9:00. I’ve noticed that last hour seems like a punishment for the owner to wait around.
It’s really hard to enjoy a meal when the owner is standing there with his coat on and keeps glaring at you impatiently, then starts pacing around.
Yes it was a good place for chicken kobeida but not worth the uncomfortable feeling of having to rush your meal. Not sure if I will recommend this place or go there again! Unfortunate!!!
If you don’t want me to sit there with my family during your last hour then just make it «takeout» after 8PM!

My wife wanted to have chicken kubaida and we only know one place which was about 45 minutes drive (far) so we decided give this place a chance. This place is only 15 minutes for us. I had chappli kabob, my wife had her favorite chicken kobaida and my son had gyro platter. All three dishes were great. Only criticism i have is. the meat for chappli kabob we little finer for me but it tasted great. I think we found a replacement for our original place (45 minutes)
One thing i did not like was when owner told us «as soon as you guys are done, we’ll close» there was no need for that. I am not taking any stars off for that because food was GREAT!!!

I agree with Scott H. – 3.5 stars for Grill Kabob. I am not a guy that likes crowds so the Manassas Mall is the place for me. It is normally pretty darn empty and because of that the food establishments are limited. The Grill Kabob is the only choice (although a Peruvian style chicken place is supposed to open soon) besides fast food or IHOP. The food is standard kabob fare. Kabob, rice, salad, bread, and sauce. Nothing spectacular but currently the best option in the mall. It is a bit pricey for mall food but comparable to other kabob places. I agree with others the language barrier and the small one size fits all drink choice are a bit frustrating but until something better comes along it will be my go to option at the Manassas Mall.

3.5 starts for Grill Kabob — a staple in most mall food courts in the DMV. And that’s a good thing, because the quality at most food court establishments are, at best, uneven. Grill Kabob provides a consistent option for quality food when you are on the go and the mall food court is your best option.
When I take public transport to work, I typically catch the bus at the Manassas Mall, returning at 8PM. This particular night I was super tired and didn’t feel like cooking. I planned to go to my go to Kabob place across the street — Grill Kabob Express. But I didn’t feel like making the trek across Sudley and remembered Grill Kabob express in the food court and decided to give them a try. (Note: Grill Kabob and Grill Kabob Express are not affiliated. Grill Kabob Express has two locations and, despite the name, has a much more expansive menu than the food court locations of Grill Kabob. Grill Kabob does have locations that are not in the food courts that have a better selections of items.)
I ordered a lamb kabob, which comes standard with the standard naan, side salad, and a mix of white and brown rice. It’s a solid kabob plate, but nothing special. Lamb was pretty good, but could use a tad more flavor. The naan was smaller that I get at other places and a bit overcooked. The rice was really good and the salad was … well, it’s a salad. It was fresh and the dressing was nice.
In the future I’ll probably suck it up and go across the street to GKX. But the Manassas Mall Food Court is a joke, and the only «restaurant» at the mall is IHOP. (No seriously, that’s it) So unless you want Mickey D’s or Scrubway, Grill Kabob is HANDS DOWN your best bet for a decent meal at Manassas Mall.

First they need to hire a person who speaks ENGLISH. Good luck when you see the girl rubbing her hands over the cooking food GROSS and she did not understand what the problem with that. Good luck

Located in Manassas Mall food court. Chicken was cooked to order, so it takes some time but it was 100% worth the wait. Delicious!

Good food.
I wanted something besides a hamburger or whatever today so i figured i’d have a kabob. Ordered number 5 for 13.99 which includes a kobeeda (ground beef) and chicken Kabob with rice (lots of it) a «salad» and tandoori.
Yeah, i’m writing this review while still eating this meal. You get ALOT of food. The salad is basically a few random veggies like carrots, red cabbage, lettuce and one slice of tomato and cucumber.
The tandoori is big. It’s crisp too. Rice is good. And i think the meat is good too.
I was given two kinds of sauces. One of which was ranch dressing and the second unidentified. The woman did not speak very good English but told me this was «spicy». It isn’t bad. A little bitter and very unique tasting. I can’t compare it to anything i’ve ever tasted before. If i HAD to compare it id say its a bit bean tasting.
All in all a good place and here are my tips for dining Grill Kabob.
1. Come with an empty stomach. I’m a small guy and the amount of food has left me with a carry out enough for another meal.
2. Be Prepared that your Kabobs will take about 7 minutes to cook.
3. Drinks cost extra unless you order a gyro and the thought of eating a baby sheep makes me feel kinda bad so…
4. Get a second drink. You only have a single size option and it likely won’t be enough for all the food. I got a second one from stir fry 88 (actually i had my brother do it since he ordered there)
5. Lastly, there are no spoons. Be prepared to catch rice with your hands.
Great food. Ask for extra seasoning if you like less bland-​ish meat. Overall 5 stars.

This is one of the best kabob place around. The meat is always seasoned perfectly, the bread is good (sometimes hard), and the portion is nice.
I recommend this place to everyone.

Grill Kabob is one of the few remaining decent places to eat in the Manassas Mall food court. The chicken and rice is excellent! The beef is sometimes a bit on the chewy side, and the tandoori bread is often flat and hard.
It seems like the Grill Kabob locations have raised prices over the past years and the prices are moving out of the bargain range, but the alternatives in the malls are much worse.

This review is for the Grill Kabob in the Manassas Mall Food Court. The food is extremely good here! I bet it’s a lot healthier than the McDonald’s next to it. Too bad the McDonald’s always has a longer line than Grill Kabob. Oh well, shorter wait time for me! :)
