Will not be coming back, one of the worse Indian/Pakistani/afghani places I have ever eaten at. The staff was ok, food was old and tasted bad.

Good fresh best smelling Irani food prepared by Afghani staff. Spacious clean eating area. Located in Lincolnia off Rt.236. My order was Kubideh Kabab plate with just half naan plus white rice

Very great food. Kubideh and chenjeh (filet mignon) are delicious. The green sauce is spectacular. As an Iranian, I HIGHLY recommend this place. Great family place too.

I like there kubedeh kabob. The kabobs taste good however I don't like the meat they use. It seems like the quality of there meat has went down a little from when I used go there years ago. There green chutney that comes with the kabobs is also really good. It has a tangy spicey taste to it. Eventhough I do not live in the area anymore I still try and go here whenever I get a chance.

I thought the food was great.. the Kubideh Kabob is more persian style than Pakistani/Afghan style.. ie more minced onion with the ground meat in preaparation (imo).. bread was good too

I gave this place 3 chances to impress me. It will not get a 4th chance. Seriously it won't. I am unable to locate taste in their kabobs. I mean whats the point of eating out if there is no taste. A can of Goya chickpeas has more taste than their kabobs. I am also confused as to why their food is always cold and hard to chew. Again, a can of chickpeas is more preferrable.

Good food. Mostly Persian fare. Nice departure from all of the other kabab joints that give you kababs and a choice of either chickpeas or spinach and potatoes. This place is different because it is NOT afghani or pakistani. It's persian, which means not as spicy, but often more flavorful. I ordered the Kubideh plate which comes with rice, bread, onions, parsley and onions. We also had the Hummus which was very good as well. They also serve Kabab wraps. I'll be back to try the other kababs.

Food and price is decent and the setting is okay. It is mostly a self service place but still worth going to.

Unlike other reviewers, I was not impressed by the kubideh kabob, which I found to be only okay, much like the rice it was served with. The provided bread was akin to what one would find at an ethnic supermarket, not the full, fresh naan one would expect from a restaurant. In short, there are better choices in the area for good food. Service was likewise nothing special. That said, the seating area is ample and the prices are fair.

All - this is the BEST place in all of Northern VA for one thing: the kabob kubidehs. Seriously order any of the other things and they are average.

I ordered the chicken and kubideh kabob combo from this place. With the order I got some rice, chicken kabob and kubideh kabob. The rice tasted like Uncle Bens, not Iranian. The chicken was too dry. The kubideh kabob was good. Also I got some torshi with my order. It was nice and added a nice flavor to the food. If you want to try a better persian place, try Bread and Kabob in Falls Church.

I like this place. I think but am not sure that it is zabihah meat. I usually only eat their seekh kabob. Good bread too. They close too early though.

Clean and friendly, but not authentic. May look like a kabob, but no different from a regular burger.

The best kebab/kabab/kebob place in the area. The food is excellent every time, we go out of our way to get kebabs from "The Duke" because it really is that good.

The meat on gyro sandwich was to dry and not portion the most of it went to the garbage.

I got the kebab platter with chicken, lamb and ground beef kebabs. Very generous amount of meats! A little dry, but that's better than undercooked. The bread that comes with it was really unique. Like a lighter/airy Naan with an almost crisp layer on some of the puffs. Delicious. Oh and the spinach/potato side was excellent.

Royal Palace Kabob specializes in traditional kabobs cooked on a charcoal grill, delivering an authentic and bold taste. The boneless chicken tikka kabob and lamb chop kabob are standouts. Service quality varies, with some guests praising it as excellent while others find it lacking. Food quality can be inconsistent, but the delicious flavors keep customers coming back. Quick delivery, even if instructions aren’t always followed.

Two of us got the all-you-can-eat weekend lunch buffet ($21.70), and one chose the Chicken Tikka Kabob ($16.99). The Mango Lassi was $5.66. Good food and service in a friendly atmosphere. Lots of parking and close to a bus stop.

The food is amazing, and the service is great. I've never had a bad meal here in three years. The lamb and chicken combo is my favorite..try it.
