Kabab King, Falls Church

The chefs at Kabab King prepare a veritable banquet every day of the week. It's all in preparation for the daily lunchtime buffet, where Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Afghani and Chinese food—all certified halal—takes the stage. From inside the clay tandoor over, fish, lamb, chicken, and beef emerge on long skewers. They emerge tender, juicy, the flavors locked in thanks to the unique cooking technique. Diners looking for non-stick-based treats can dig into spicy biryanis and decadent curries. Or, working their way across the map, they can enjoy a selection of Chinese specialty, like the bitesize chicken lollipops or sweet-and-sour shrimp.
