Ali Baba Kabob House
A halal Afghan kabob house on 14th Street SW loved for chapli kabob - a flat, spiced minced-meat patty - alongside other grilled platters. Halal meat is used throughout as standard Afghan restaurant practice, without a separately listed certification body. Start with the chapli It is the dish to order first if Afghan cooking is new to you. Reviewers are emphatic - one who had worked through the downtown shawarma spots calls this the best in town, and names the owner as part of why. Good to know 4.4 across 450 Google reviews. Good for children and groups, with lunch, dinner and dessert served. Dine in, take out or order for delivery.
