Malik’s Kabob
Malik’s Kabob, 9542 Arlington Boulevard, Fairfax, VA, also accessible from Rt.29, right smack at Fairfax Circle, 703-246-9005 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [zabihah | Yelp]
This place is a knock out. Ask for it spicy. The Karahi chicken for two is first-rate. The breads are freshly cooked. I like the chapli kabob. The vegetables taste like…vegetables. The service is sometimes a disaster, especially for lunch. There’s amazing people-watching at night when the hookah bar is up and running, though if the smoke bothers you ask for the back room.
For the first time we have a superb Pakistani restaurant in our midst, you just need to bear with the service a bit.

My wife and I tried Malik's last night. As Tyler says, the food is very flavorful. It isn't too spicy for the only mildly adventurous like me. The atmosphere, on the other hand, is so poor that I wouldn't recommend it for a date night out. We ordered at the counter. The food was brought to us, slowly, on styrofoam plates. The front room was smoky; we were the only customers in the spartan back room.
