What's better Charcoal Kabob or Ravi Kabob? A friend of mine is moving back to the West Coast and a bunch of us are coming down to throw him a going away party this Friday.

The problem is that all my Virginia friends go to Ravi Kabob all the time and are kinda played out with it.

What's a nice halal joint to go to in the Dulles area thats a good place to sit down and chat (but not really expensive and not really cheap either)?

i went to ravi kabob a few times. it's good stuff.

this place called aabshar has nice chicken tikkas, it's by halal co

it's a nice sit down desi place.

and it has a pretty good buffet too except the biryani is meh..but then im memon

so anyways...anyone coming to the VCU MSA coffeehouse? it's on april 19th but still..apparently a lot of MSAs come from all over VA?
