Grill Kabob offers traditional Afghan food with a unique twist. We have a delicious variety of made-to-order kabobs and other authentic specialties. Our kabobs are marinated and grilled to perfection. We have generous portions and reasonable prices, and our fresh-from-the-tandoor naan bread is the best. We are family-owned and operated.
The origins of Grill Kabob go back many years, to 1980, when the three of us were forced to flee our native Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war. After immigrating to the United States, we were joined by our cousin Mahmoud Mahdjoub, a journalist in Afghanistan. Here in the United States, Mahmoud found a passion for cooking. Eventually, we decided to start a kabob restaurant, using the authentic Afghan recipes developed by our cousin.
Our first location was the 300-square-foot site in the food court at Springfield Mall. Business picked up quickly due to excellent word of mouth. It was very hard to keep up with the demand with such limited space, so we opened up a second location in the main food court. Beginning in busy food courts in local malls, we quickly grew to 14 locations. Eventually, we expanded to include stand-alone restaurants. Today, Grill Kabob is one of the largest Kabob chains in the United States.
