This place is amazing! This is the second time I've been there and the food is as pictured on social media. I would add food pictures but each time the food has arrived, I have been so hungry for it and it looks so good that I just dig in. We've had the Cuban sandwich twice and it has not disappointed. It is probably the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had. Today, I had the chicken soup and it was very good too. You do need to squeeze the lemon in it though to really make the flavors come out. On this trip we decided to sample the coffee and some pastries. These absolutely did not disappoint either. The coffee/expresso was delicious and the pastries were made with real fruit and cheese and more light and I will definitely be trying them again. I can't wait to go back so that I can try something else. They have about four things on the menu that are just must tries for me. I want to take my family back though and let them try these dishes with me. I will take pictures next time lol I did snap a couple pictures of the inside of the restaurant this time. It is a beautiful setting, clean, and the service is excellent. The way everything is set up makes you feel like you are in the most comfortable yet elegant setting.
Hard to find good Latin food in this area outside of Mexican restaurants, which we love. Tried it for the first time with our family this past Saturday and it was great! Friendly service, delicious food and nice ambience. Only thing we’d say is to have the music louder! We were just in Miami last weekend for vacation and desperately missing the vibe.
Amazing Cuban food. The food is super fresh, the coffee is amazing. Made me feel like I was in Miami.
Overall pretty good. I got the ropa vieja dish paired with yuca with mojo and plantains, all pretty good flavor. Beef was tender. I got the arroz en leche dessert and it was so good. Service was good and friendly, I like how they have a call button device on your table with the buttons “water, call, bill and cancel”. Great way to keep up with tables so time isn’t wasted walking back and forth and incase you need something right away. Waited about 15-20 minutes I think for the food which is a good timing for freshly cooked food, we were greeted and seated right away. And I also love that over half the menu is gluten free dishes, I’ll be back
I had so many firsts at K’bola and it absolutely did not disappoint. It was my very first time at a Cuban restaurant, trying Cuban food, and I truly loved how K’bola brought the spirit and flavors of Cuba right here to Virginia. What made it even more special was seeing how happy and nostalgic my Cuban husband was. From the moment he saw the menu to the first bite of our meal, I could see how much it meant to him—and the flavors did not disappoint. The food was authentic, delicious, and full of heart. My only wish is that we didn’t live an hour away from K’bola, because I would love to have Ropa Vieja again right now! Thank you for giving us such a warm and memorable experience.
Best cubano sandwich I have ever had. They also make the best rum and coke! The house flan is PERFECT. Amazing service. These guys offer the gift of spectacular authentic food!! Highly reccomend if you're looking for a real experience.
Absolutely delicious and completely authentic Cuban food. Definitely the best in the area and as good if not better than anything you'll find in Miami. The decor is super tasteful and also feels right at home in Cuba. Highly recommended for all you Latin food lovers!
I love this restaurant because my wife has allergies to gluten, crustaceans, nuts, etc.,and never gets sick. They are very careful. The food is good. Today, I had salmon. The salmon was good, but the steak here is great. ( I had the steak several times in the past... I needed to adjust for cholesterol control.). I am sure you will enjoy this restaurant, especially if you have food allergies.
