What our guests are saying

When we first pulled up to this place, it honestly looked so mediocre that we didn’t even want to go in. But we didn’t judge it by the exterior — we decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad we did! I’ve eaten all over the United States, and as Afghan cuisine, this was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were incredible and truly authentic. The owner is an amazing person — such a genuine and hardworking small business owner. Don’t judge this place by how it looks from the outside. Highly recommend — definitely worth stopping in!

The food here is absolutely incredible, and the owner’s kindness and generosity make the experience even better! The kabobs were bursting with flavor, the naan was freshly made, and the rice was perfectly cooked. But the true star of the show for me was the white sauce—rich, balanced, and the hint of dill took it to another level. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates fresh, flavorful food.

I really enjoyed my visit to Grub Palace! One of the best Afghan restaurants in DC metro area! The chicken and beef kabobs were on point! really flavorful and cooked just right. The place was spotless, and prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were super friendly and made me feel welcome. The management seemed genuinely attentive, which I really appreciated. Definitely I’ll be coming back to!
