The restaurant is located at n a strip mall and doesn’t look like much from the outside; however the interior is nice and roomy and the food is fantastic. The slow cooked lamb was excellent and even my wife who doesn’t like lamb enjoyed it. Also got the creamy chicken which was good. The baklava paired with the vanilla ice cream with rose topping was great. This was an all around good meal with good service as well. This will be a go to restaurant for the family in the future. There was a discount offered for paying in cash so may want to check with the wait staff about that.
This place has actually really good afghan food!! Lamb kebabs are very good! Rice is also very good. In the takeout order we did not receive any bread :( but it's ok, quality was good regardless. Did not go inside so cannot really rate atmosphere but -1 because no bread
1st time here. Nice place for a date, a meal with friends and family, or dinner alone. They have a nice selection, can't decide, let your server know they'll help you. I enjoyed their rose lassi. The food was delicious and fresh.
Excellent kebab: both lamb and beef. Soft and succulent with that nice smoky flavor. Nice stews as well. Sides and sauces were also excellent.
When it comes to Kebab, Afghan food shines. We had the combination kebab plate, with salmon, lamb, and chicken kebab skewers. Chicken was the top quality, it's been a long time since I had a well-cooked juicy chicken kebab like this. The lamb was medium raw while we liked to have a well done! Salmon was also not well cooked. You should probably emphasize on how you want your kebabs cooked. For the appetizers we had the fried eggplant, which was amazing, and soup (Aush) was below average.
Great food. Appetizer plate and kebabs were perfekt. Tables are to close together, and food was brought out to fast ( still eating the appetizer when the mains arrived )
Kabul pleasantly surprised me, nice interior, the restaurant itself is pretty cozy. Waiters very friendly and attentive. Temperature inside is neither cold or hot. The dish “Karayee” that I order exceeded my expectations! I would recommend this restaurant to people.
I've been going to this restaurant (and their Sunnyvale branch) since I was a kid. The food is delicious - it's authentic and frankly hard to beat in terms of quality, flavor, portions, etc. That said, you are just going there for the food and experience. The restaurant ambiance needs some work. For example, the furniture, carpet, plates, cups, etc. need to be replaced for something more modern, clean, and new. But the staff is sweet and very hard working. I would highly recommend.
