Hawasana Kabob Restaurant — Restaurant in Tysons

Hey, I’m Afghan and I always support Afghan businesses, so I want to share my honest feedback. Please understand that my review isn’t meant to bring you down, but to help you guys serve better. Last night, around 10 PM, I visited the restaurant and asked for a combo of chicken and fish. Even though there wasn’t a specific menu option, the staff kindly accommodated my request. They took a bit of time, which was understandable since they were preparing the fish. However, when the meal arrived, both the chicken and the fish were warm(hot), but the rice was cold and the rice was less than what I expected, especially for the price I paid, which was nearly $22.81 (inc soda) I was also told that bread would be served, but it came after I had finished my meal, as you can see in picture. On a positive note, the customer service was good. There was a grown man, possibly the owner, who came by several times to check on me, which I really appreciated. The younger staff members were also friendly and welcoming. But, The main issue was the timing, portion size, and temperature of the food.

I’m sharing this feedback in hopes of improvement. I believe the restaurant can do better by ensuring all items are ready and served properly. I’ll definitely give them another chance in the future and hope to see...

Overall the food was just ok, but not worth the long wait or price point. Has potential to be better if the issues that others have noted are addressed. I don't think I'll be back with the plethora of better options in this area.

It was not busy when I went in the late afternoon for lunch. You order at the register and they bring to your table. Cashier was polite and answered questions about the menu. Everything at the table was dirty so much that I refrained from drinking water from the glass provided.

After waiting 40 min, they brought my lamb kebob platter that came with rice, small salad, and 2 sauces plus a side of chickpeas. Everything was room temperature. Guy said bread was coming but it didn't arrive until I inquired again when I had basically finished my meal.

I enjoy Afghani food and was excited to try this new authentic restaurant for lunch. I understand that small businesses may need time to adjust after opening and hope management is willing to make necessary changes to keep patrons...

had an incredible experience at Hawasana Restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming — a perfect blend of modern comfort and cultural charm. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was the true star of the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and prepared with great care. I especially recommend [insert a favorite dish if you have one — e.g., “the lamb tagine” or “the grilled fish platter”] — it was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were generous, and the prices felt very fair considering the quality of the food and service. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or on a date, Hawasana hits all the right notes.

Best...
