We ordered the Quzi – Sham, Maqloobah, and Eggplant Salad. The food was excellent, especially the Maqloobah!!! Sammy (the Owner?) was so kind and caring. He explained all of the menu items to us, and constantly made sure we were well taken care of. He was great to talk with as well. Highly recommend this place! This was our first time having Iraqi food, and it did not disappoint!

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The Iraqi kebab was tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection — you could taste the smoky flavor in every bite. The kuba was just as impressive, beautifully crisp on the outside and packed with rich, savory filling on the inside. Both dishes tasted authentic and freshly made, with spices that brought out real depth and warmth. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. If you’re looking to try genuine Iraqi food, this place is a must-visit!!

I TRULY DISLIKE TO LEAVING A BAD REVIEW. But I was highly disappointed in my order. Under no circumstances order the lamb/beef Shawarma. It is the most impossible food to chew through. Rubber is even an understatement. I Wasted $14. Try one of there another dish. DO NOT ORDER LAMB/BEEF SHAWARMA.
On a positive note the service and atmosphere was good.

Best babaganoush I’ve had in years! The flavor was amazing and the big pieces of eggplant mixed in gave the dip a great consistency. The house-made pita was delicious, too – still warm, despite it being a carry-out order.
The falafel sandwich was a little bit heavy on the pickles. However, the pickles, when eaten separately, were also very tasty.
Grilled half chicken was cooked just right – flavorful and tender.
Will definitely go back to try other dishes.

Erbil Kabob is one of the best spots for grilled food in Fairfax. The food is always fresh and flavorful, especially the kebab which has an authentic Iraqi taste and perfect seasoning. The bread is fresh, and the sides like hummus and salad are delicious. The service is friendly and fast, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Iraqi and Middle Eastern cuisine.

I was really excited about this place as my wife is from Al Basrah Iraq and we try and eat anyplace where there is Iraqi food.
I purchased the mixed kabob (iraqi kabob – mix of beef and lamb) ($22.99) and chicken chunks. The chicken was not great, but at least it was moist – it lacked seasoning and didn’t taste like it was cooked over coal. The kabob had too much salt and had two bone shards in three bites. The salad was very poor and looks to be barely an afterthought, the humus tasted manly of tahini and was thin. The bread is great and this places saving grace.
I also had the Kibbeh Halab (11.99 for 3). It cracked when fried so was likely frozen, and because it cracked and was filled with oil. The flavor of the filling was also too sweet; tasted kinda like apple pie. Good Kibbeh is savory, and this wasn’t good. (Making it uniform so it doesnt crack with the rice is really hard, but that’s why it’s so expensive) They also didn’t give me any garlic sauce with any of the food – which is just un-Iraqi.
The young lady who helped me was wonderful, without her in this mix it would have been one star total.

Come here and enjoy the food! You will be happy you came here!
I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the bad reviews. I had a wonderful experience. Was given the menu right away. After ordering got large warm fresh bread with fresh salad and creamy hummus.
We ordered family combo 1. It came with so much meat on a large bed of rice and grilled vegetables and multiple pieces of bread and 2 bowls of bean soup.
Enter a came out fast and the waitress gave us more fresh bread with the meal as well. I wasn’t expecting that. Meat was tender and full of flavor. Rice was perfect and not too oily.
There was so much food we had to take most of it home.
Service was fast and the place was very clean. They had nice music playing. Highly recommend.

My family and I went to Erbil Kabob tonight and enjoyed it a lot. The inside is large with plenty of space for large parties. We had the Combo #1 platter and the Mezza Platter. The service was quick and friendly, and we received our food shortly after ordering it. The naan was HUGE and went very well with our combo tray and mezza platter. We enjoyed the Baba Ghannouj, Kibbeh and tabouli salad was very refreshing. The platter was massive and easily fed all 5 of us, with a lot of leftovers. Would highly recommend if looking for delicious Iraqi kabob. I’d highly recommend ordering a large combo for a group and splitting it with friends, along with some extra naan!
