Food Corner Kabob was started by the owners Najib Sidiqi and Abdulfatah Abbasi. The first branch of Food Corner was established in Annandale, VA, an area populated with a diverse community from all areas of the globe. Najib and Abdul put their Afghani homestyle recipes to work in their kitchen and founded an original and authentic Afghani cuisine. This restaurant is not only popular to local Afghans, but to all who enjoy a great flavored and very well portioned meal at great price.

Experience the rich flavors of Kabul.
Najib's background with kabobs began as a personal hobby back in Kabul Afghanistan. When asking Najib about his background with kabob he stated "Kabob has always been my hobby. Since my teenage years I would love to host weekend parties and celebrations with kabob. As I grew up I have continued to enjoy cooking kabob and maintaining Afghani homestyle taste." Being a hobbiest chef has given Najib more than 30 years of experience cooking kabobs before his venture in the food service industry. As business progressed and the food became a great success, Najib passed along his work and knowledge to his sons and continued to expand his venture to introduce great food to Northern Virginia.
Najib and Abdul opened two more locations leaving their first Annandale restaurant to Najib's sons Omar and Massi Sidiqi to manage. Since the restaurant first opened in 1997, they have been involved in the restaurant's operation with their father managing them. Now Massi and Omar have over 7 years of expierience with kabobs and the food service industry.
To date, Najib and Abdul have expanded to five locations in Northern Virginia and Washington DC.

This place is banging!
The owner is extremely gregarious, the portions are plentiful, and best of all, the food is delicious!
I usually get the veggie platter which is the Naan (bread), rice, and 2 sides of veggies. It's a carbaholics wet dream. The lentils are incredible here, the naan is perfectly toasted and chewy without being overly greased up, the basmati rice is perfectly cooked, and the green sauce is a wonderful topping to any of the sides. Great to dip the naan in as well.
The decor in this place is cool, too. There are Afghani pics plastered all over the walls of which I find something new to look at anytime I go there. The lamb and chicken kabobs are the shit. At least, that's what everyone tells me since I don't eat it being a veggie. Albeit, I must admit, I have tried the lamb (sorry, I'm Greek), and it was pretty dang tasty.
Also, for all you Tysons Corner employees... they have a location in this area as well. It's right by Marshalls and Sports Authority.

I love the food corner! Every time I need a kabob fix, this is my go to place! The portions are so big that I can usually get the lamb kabob platter and it will last me for lunch and dinner. The lamb is tender and all of the sides are good, but I usually get spinach or chickpeas. Don't forget to get extra chutney...that green sauce is the boss!

This is some of the best Afghani food I've eaten. The people working there are super friendly. You get a LOT to eat. The bread is nothing less than excellent. Large or small parties are served very well here. I only wish the place was closer to where I live!
