I recently visited K Bola Cuban Restaurant, and my overall experience was mixed. The food was okay, but the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Most of the sauces had a strong vinegary taste that overpowered the other flavors, and there was only one salad option, which was also vinegar-based. A little more variety and balance in the menu would be nice. On the positive side, the atmosphere was great. The outside patio was very comfortable and had a nice cool breeze, which was perfect for a hot day. It made sitting outside relaxing and enjoyable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated how clean the restaurant was, including the bathrooms — which says a lot about how the place is maintained. Overall, while the service and cleanliness were excellent, the food could use more variety and less heavy vinegar flavoring. I’d rate my experience about 3 out of 5 stars.
My husband and I ate dinner at K'Bola, and it was a great experience. Most of the items on the menu are naturally gluten free. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered the churrasco and requested it embocellado style, meaning it is flank steak flattened with a tenderizer and served with grilled onions. My husband ordered the shrimp sauteed with butter and garlic. I order black beans and tostones as my sides. Tostones are unripened plantains that are fried in rounds, flattened, and fried again. My husband ordered boiled yuca and black beans & rice for his 2 sides. It was all delicious. The meals were extremely flavorful and not overcomplicated. The ambiance is great. There is Cuban music playing, and I got to listen to Guantanavera which is a classic. The TV also has continuous video of various places and scenery in Cuba. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. This was very authentic cuisine, and I will definitely return next time we're in the area.
Serious Cuban food! For appetizer - K’Bola combo. Main course: We ordered Arroz Frito K’Bola. It’s like fried rice but you can customize it to what you want. It is made to order. Camarones - Garlic shrimp with 2 sides. So we picked fried sweet plantain and rice and beans. Very tasty. We also ordered the Famoso Cubano with a side. It’s a lot of food so I’ll suggest to share. Everything was very tasty and the kids loved it. The service was good. Everyone was super friendly. I will definitely recommend this place.
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.
The best experience, unique attention. They are very familiar. I felt at home. The food has an authentic Cuban flavor. I recommend it 100%.
