We decided to start a kebab restaurant, using the authentic Afghan recipes. Our first location was 300-square-foot site in the food court in Springfield Mall. It was very hard to keep up with the demand with such limited space, so we opened up a second location in the main food court. Beginning in busy food courts in local malls, we quickly grew to 14 locations. Eventually, we expanded to include stand-alone restaurants. Today, Grill Kabob is one of the largest kebab chains in the United States.
