Charga - Arlington

The chicken dishes at this restaurant are packed with flavor and there is a wide selection of entrees to choose from. The sides, particularly the spinach, chickpea, and lentil options, are our personal favorites.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant. The food was ready quickly and well-prepared. The chickpeas were a bit too spicy for my liking, and there was a strong presence of cinnamon in all the dishes. However, overall, the food was very tasty. As for parking, there are limited spaces and it can be challenging to enter and exit.

For vegetarian options, there are dishes that feature plant-based proteins. The restaurant is also kid-friendly, with the staff being able to engage in conversation with anyone. The best part is that everyone in the store is welcome to join in on these conversations, whether it's about basketball or anything else. Everyone's opinions are respected here.

Really great local place for casual dining and or takeout. Everything there is seasoned perfectly and it’s very flavorful. Your owner and chef takes great pride in what he does and you can tell by the quality and taste of the food that he serves.My kids are vegetarian I love going there because they have lots of offerings for non-meat eaters as well.The interior is not glamorous but everything is clean and the staff is warm and welcoming.The parking is a little difficult but definitely well worth the effort I’m sure it’ll be one of your new favorite places once you give it a try.!Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious, beautifully seasoned vegetable dishes to choose from.Parking: The spaces are tight.

We came here after reading a Washington Post article about the restaurant and it’s owner, Asad Chaudry. To our delight, Asad was at the restaurant and took our order. Our interactions with him instantly made the entire experience more memorable. He was personable, detailed in his descriptions of the menu, and super helpful. We had two types of chicken, the saji and the peruvian (Asad told us not to try the peri-peri, because it is too spicy for almost everyone). We got the half chicken and two sides, which was a ton of food for the price. Both chickens were amazing. The fries were just okay. Asad gave us a great selection of different sauces for our take-out, which took the stress out of the decision process. Overall a great local stop with amazing chicken and a variety of great sides.
