From the moment we walked in, the staff provided exceptional hospitality—warm, attentive, and professional throughout the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing authentic flavors with perfect presentation. Every dish reflected quality, care, and culinary expertise. A must-visit for anyone seeking great service and unforgettable taste. Highly recommended!“

“I just had an amazing meal at this Afghan restaurant in San Francisco! I’ve tried a bunch of Afghan spots around the city, and this one totally stole the show. The Tekka and chicken kebob were juicy and packed with flavor—honestly, I couldn’t stop raving about them at the table. Vegetable dish (Palag) was just as tasty as I had back home. I am a bit too picky on baklava but theirs was the best I’ve ever had in the US! So fresh, moist, and not too too sweet. I’m still dreaming about it. The vibe was cozy, and Jayhoon Jan made us feel right at home. If you’re craving Afghan food that’ll blow your mind, you’ve gotta check this place out!“

“The quabili pallow was so bomb! Actually my first time having afghan cuisine but I’m in love. (I personally feel like it’s a blend of middle eastern and Indian cuisine? I could be ignorant) I didn’t expect the yogurt drink to be a savory drink but I guess I need some more research on it. It also kinda makes sense as it balances out the fatty meat. The rice pudding also melts in ur mouth. Not too sweet with a hint of cardamom.“

“Really fantastic hidden gem on Polk St, featuring various Afghani, Iranian, and Mediterranean dishes.

The prices are definitly below SF averages, and the servers are very attentive. This is my favorite late-night spot to eat after getting drinks with friends.“

“Hands down best Gyro I’ve had since visiting Denmark. The seasoned fries paired with their ranch and smokey barbecue sauces were divine. The atmosphere is very friendly and the dine-in aesthetic was quaint. HIGHLY recommend OakTown Kabobs with my boy Farzad.“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!“

“Gyrrito is awesome tasty bizniss!!!!“

“the food was entirely Afghani IMHO, and according to some younger Afghani guests. I had lamb kabob and Afghani rice, two felafel and ferni [Afghani custard]. Rice delicious. Unlike any rice anywhere. Kabob definitely helal, tender, more cooked than an American would cook it but a lot less than a Turk. And full of flavour some of which I'm at a loss to identify, something enhancing its 'meatiness'. I don't know Afghani herbs/spices. I ate too too much. The mango lassi is just creamily heavenly

It's not the Ritz. Family run restaurant with a traditional Afghani sofra to eat at if you don't like a table and chairs“

“I enjoyed the falafel wrap sandwich. The bread was soft and fresh. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The falafel was kind of different. Like chickpea French fries. The service was friendly and helpful. The ambiance needs some work. Otherwise, it's a nice new place in my neighborhood!“
