Moby Dick House Of Kabob Alexandria

Tasty and Wholesome. I often get the chicken kabab platter, "Moby's Joojeh".
It comes with delicious mild spiced rice; bit of "Greek"salad with nice lemony o&v dressing; savory grilled chicken breast chunks; a great yogurt dressing for over the chicken and their stone oven cooked pita. A meal full of flavor, low in fat, totally satisfying. Can even go into 2 meals if you stash some away for later. The pita bread does not hold though.

We go to the Moby Dick in McLean and in Kingstown, both are good, and both busy so you know it is all fresh. This is definitely casual; you order and pay at the counter, then pick it up and either go to a table & get your own table ware, or take away. I like BOTH stores but I think the cooking in Kingstown is better: the chicken is consistently more tender, the rice even more flavorful. The Kingstown store is larger and easier to park and to dine in. Kingstowne Center is a lively shopping center. Both have all cultures of folks enjoying it. The McLean store is very small, in McLean village proper, on Old Dominion, near Dolley Madison Blvd.(rt.123), crazy to park in, (I usually take out), but I don't let any of that hinder me! So try them both.

They have a great barley soup occasionally which is a must, even if only to take home for later.

The daily lunch specials are different from the regular menu and surely worth a try.

There are some other interesting looking items on the menu but I have my favorites that are hard to stray from.

I have never tried the vegetarian dishes, but here you can get a delicious meal, have plenty, and not feel loaded down, battered or guilty. It is neither cheap nor expensive; it is good quality. What's not to like?

Very good food. I don't agree with the $ rating though. Two people will run you $30 dollars plus... Semi expensive in my opinion. Probably costs them $3 :dollars to make each meal
