Mazanin FJanuary 16, 2017The food is tasty. We got Kabab-E-Gusfand, Sabsi Challaw (Challaw:Rice cooked with cumin, chicken broth, etc), and Korma Challaw Badenjan. All of therm very delicious and borderline unhealthy :).Upvoted Mar 15
Ms HeleneJuly 16, 2018Salmon skewer, single serve was large $17, substitute rice for veggies. Cauliflower stew.
Dan Mondragón SomeraMay 17, 2017Pick anything from the menu, you can't go wrong. It's the first time I try Afghan food and it has great taste! Portions are quite large :)- JKAugust 13, 2021Try smoky chicken and lamb kebabs over spiced basmati rice to sweet, fork-tender sautéed pumpkin served with garlicky yogurt sauce and fluffy flatbread
Amy MatsunoApril 5, 2014Huge portions - you'll leave with a food coma for sure. The flavors here are exquisite! Loved the Lawang chicken! Highly recommend.
Ashley SpearsApril 15, 2016One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Get the dumplings with ground lamb!!
Jean LFebruary 4, 2015Awesome. Any lamb dish I'd worth it. Also the baklava is to die for. Great service as well.
Get Lamb Sheeshleek or Chicken Lawang!!! The best you can get in town!!
Ferananda IbarraMarch 21, 2015Great Afgan food. Vegetarian dishes are awesome. Very affordable. Great service!
David GaxiolaAugust 3, 2013The chupan lamb dish was juicy and delicious. We went for lunch but portion sizes were what you might expect at dinner.
BilalMarch 30, 2011I'm Afghan. This food is alright. But for the real Kabuli experience ask the manager Fahim to try on the big red dress. He'll love you for it! Maybe even comp you some yummy rice pudding.
Rebecca SandersonApril 5, 2016Friendly staff busy restaurant. Extremely well seasoned and flavorful meat
Jonathan WegenerOctober 18, 2012Get the Kadu (pumpkin), it's amazing They have it in appetizer and entree size- Tim HardyMarch 31, 2012The Pakawra-E-Katchalu(batter dipped potatoes with yogurt and meat sauce) is my favorite appetizer.
Chris JadallahDecember 1, 2011The kadu sounds strange (cooked pumpkin topped with yogurt and meat sauce) but is amazingly delicious!
Melanie B.December 6, 2010Order the lamb and curry dish. Also the pumpkin appetizer is good. Can't go wrong this place is yummy!
Bulanee katchalu, lamb kabob, gulpi challaw all solid bets. Don't forget the extra spicy green sauce.
Beau SmithApril 24, 2011Skip the kebabs, go for the sautéd dishes as they have much more flavor and still lots of meat!
The taste of the food is good. I am frequently visiting this place, however things need to improve; 1) slow service, 2) decoration.
