“Merrifield Kabob (inexpensive). Kebab shops are popping up all over. Few are more than a grill with a few tables and chairs, and the quality of the product varies a great deal. Merrifield Kabob sets itself apart with a more attractive place to sit and eat and the use of fresh Halal Meat. The range of offerings is small--seven kebabs, a gyro platter or wrap, a daily stew, a few vegetables, rice, salad, and bread.
The kebabs are marinated, aggressively seasoned, and cooked over an open flame. And the prices are right with kebabs, including rice, fresh baked bread, salad, and a vegetable, starting at $6.75 for bone-in chicken and topping out at $9.95 for lamb chops. Also available are kebabs of boneless chicken, beef, lamb, and ground beef as well as few combinations. Baklava and a custard are the desserts; beverages are soft drinks and juices.
Merrifield Kabob, 8428 Lee Hwy.; 703-204-4400. Open daily for lunch and dinner ”
