Arlington Kabob is a family-owned Afghan and Middle Eastern restaurant founded in 2013. Led by Susan Clementi, a woman entrepreneur with a passion for hospitality, the restaurant has grown into a beloved local spot. Her warm leadership, along with the friendly presence of manager Syed, creates a welcoming environment where guests feel at home from the moment they walk in.
The menu features a rich variety of freshly grilled kabobs, including chicken, lamb, beef, salmon, chapli, and kofta. These dishes are served with aromatic basmati rice, freshly baked naan from a traditional clay tandoor, crisp salad, and flavorful sides like chickpeas or spinach stew. Guests frequently praise the chapli kabob, lamb chops, and gyro plates. Many also enjoy the thoughtful touches such as complimentary tea, soup, and warm bread that come with every meal.
The restaurant’s casual yet vibrant setting makes it perfect for both dine-in and takeout. With cultural décor, outdoor seating, and a family-friendly vibe, Arlington Kabob is a favorite for quick lunches, relaxed dinners, and catering for special occasions. Open daily from morning to night, it continues to earn high praise for its consistency, generous portions, and strong community spirit.
