Stopped by Courthouse Kabob and had a decent experience. The staff stood out—they were super nice and clearly working hard to keep things running smoothly. It’s always good to see that kind of effort.
Prices were reasonable, especially for the area. The place was fairly clean—nothing fancy, but it felt cared for. The food was fine. Nothing that blew me away, but it hit the spot.
It’s a small, local business, and it’s worth supporting places like this. You get honest food, good service, and fair prices.

Good but not great, at least not for the qabeli palaw (which is also the national dish of Afghanistan). The lamb shank didn’t seem that fresh unfortunately and they forgot to give us utensils and had to go back for them. The accompanying naan was thin and a bit dry, although chewy on the edges. The rice however was great!
Service leaves more to be desired, attention to detail. The atmosphere felt relaxed.

Really good food! Ordered a chicken kabob plate from here yesterday and was very impressed with the combination of flavors between the chicken, veggies, and sauces. They also threw in a huge tandoori baked naan which was an awesome surprise!
I do wish there were spicy sauces on the menu but other than that everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, big portions, and great value!
Get the Mantu dumplings!!!
The kofta/Koobideh is delicious. They give you a lot of rice.
The lamb shank is especially delicious. The carrot rice is super delicious. And the spinach side dish was even better than you’d imagine.
A single meal + mantu can feed 2 people.
This is a restaurant I’d go back to over and over again and their employees are all kind.
I’d rate this as still worth it after a 25% increase in price.

The kabobs are delicious, tender and yummy. I like the sauce they put atop the already delicious and fluffy rice. The portion sizes are large – one meal provides me with leftovers for a full lunch The next day The salmon kabob is excellent but so are the lamb kabobs. Their combo platters are excellent for get togethers. If you eat in the staff usually comes by and offers you tea – and serves it to you free of charge. It’s often not crowded – a secret great eating spot that has been serving up great meals for many years. 5 out of 5 stars, recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Delicious!
I just tried the lamb chops at Courthouse Kabob, and they were incredible! I’ve never had food like this before, you can really taste that it’s made with love and care. The flavors were rich, tender, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm, and the service was great too. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic and flavorful food!

This review is long over due for this lovely establishment! I order from here often on DoorDash (I live in Maryland close to Uptown DC) I have eaten from here for several years when I visit Arlington. (I’m thinking back to pre pandemic.) The food never disappoints me, it’s always fresh and filing! They are quick to right any mishaps during the ordering process and offer a “thank you” treat along the way. The manager, I don’t remember her name but she is so polite and forthcoming. Courthouse Kabob will have my business for as long as they are in operations! Love always, Denise!

Amazing Afghani restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh and healthy. They cook the meat to your liking and serve it to your table fresh. All with inviting smile and service. Lots of vegetarian options to choose from. The salmon was top class.
