    It’s the go to for Pakistani food. It’s always busy, so order in advance whether dining in or take away. Got the boneless chicken Karahi this time and loved every morsel! Staff aren’t the friendliest but it’s tolerable - but that’s what happens when you’re that good. They prefer cash but accept card. Parking is a bit hard as it’s that busy but wait 2 mins or try around back. 100% worth it!

    Great food any day or night. A local favorite that can get crowded, but usually it's easy to get a table. Great food and very reasonable prices. Well worth checking out. Look at the menu items online. Parking spaces directly in front at narrow. If you have a big car just park around the corner.

    Handsdown the best Karahi in the city. If you are looking for authentic Karahi then look no further - This is your place. There lahori cholley are out of thr world. They cook fresh food every time and naan bread is very crisp. This place is very busy and like any traditional Dhabas in Pakistan/ India - Punjab this place also has lot of commotion, noisey and not high scale dining. Don’t expect much of an ambiance and five star service but you will find very delicious meals , freshly cooked and very competitive prices. My new local favorite. Highly recommend

    Another authentic kabob place, arguably one of the best in the DMV. They are open late and if I remember correctly it’s cash only restaurant or it was but they do have an ATM on site. They have about 3 restaurants in this location. Update: Dec 2023. They now take credit cards. I’m adding a few pictures as well. Overall, they have good food. I strongly recommend the kabob but people seem to love the Karachi as well.

    My recent dining experience at Ravi has left me with a nuanced perspective, with both positive and concerning aspects to consider. While the food could be described as average, providing a satisfactory yet unremarkable culinary experience, it was the cleanliness of the establishment that became a more prominent focal point of my visit. Regrettably, the overall cleanliness at Ravi fell short of expectations, making it a notable detractor from the dining ambiance. The condition of the dining areas, tables, and even the restrooms was, frankly, subpar. This lapse in cleanliness significantly impacted the overall dining experience, creating an atmosphere that was less inviting and detracting from the enjoyment of the meal. Cleanliness is a fundamental aspect of any dining establishment, and its importance cannot be overstated. It not only contributes to the overall ambiance but also reflects the level of care and attention to detail that patrons associate with a quality dining experience. In this regard, Ravi's noticeable cleanliness issues were disappointing and impacted the overall impression of the restaurant. On a more positive note, the staff at Ravi displayed a level of attentiveness and friendliness that added a positive dimension to the visit. Their willingness to assist and create a welcoming atmosphere despite the cleanliness concerns was commendable. In conclusion, while Ravi may offer an average dining experience in terms of food, the cleanliness issues are a significant area requiring improvement. Addressing these hygiene concerns promptly would be crucial for the restaurant to enhance its overall appeal and provide a more satisfying dining experience for patrons. The positive aspects, such as friendly staff, should be coupled with improvements in cleanliness to ensure a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience at Ravi.

    Very good Indian food. I really used to enjoy eating take out from this place, especially since I used to live next door lol. Friendly service and atmosphere. I usually ordered the chicken kabobs and samosas and was impressed. Although I moved outta there, and I'm hardly in Arlington anymore I'd still recommend.

    Must say food was really good, tried their lamb chops it’s really good taste, just needed little bit more tender. Gonna come here again for sure to try their different dishes.

    Our friends told us we had to go to Ravi Kabob when we were in DC, we drove there especially to have Chicken Karahi, and we absolutely loved it. The Ravi Kabob kebab platter was also phenomenal. Service and atmosphere were nothing to write about but the food preparation makes up for it. Must visit!

    The Chickpeas are my favourite along with boneless chicken & beef kabob. We always replace rice with extra chickpeas or spinach, everything goes perfectly with their tangy yogurt dip. Its busy but not overcrowded, we always found seats without ease. Food is consistently good & always served hot and fresh!
