Afghan Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

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

“We sat at the bar in order to enjoy happy hour cocktails, bites, as well as some small plates from the regular menu. And our greatest fortune was to be served by Camilla behind the bar. She mixed us excellent cocktails, as well as described some of the items on the menu, leading us to some real winners that we enjoyed immensely. Honestly it was her focused attention on our experience, and her genuine charm that elevated our experience to the next level. Making our visit unforgettable.“

“Huge thank you to Akbar and team. We hosted a family baby shower, about 50 people, at Saffron Kitchen. Our guest were all happy about the ambiance at the venue and gave us many glowing reviews about Saffron's wonderful foods. Setting up the event with Akbar was very simple and took a load off of us. Akbar let us come in early the morning of to decorate and ensure there was enough food for all guests through the event. We would definitely recommend Saffron!!“

“Came here on a whim after some golf with a friend. One of the best gyros I have had in years! Really kind and attentive staff as well. I would not hesitate to go back if I am in the area again.
Seating is a little sparse and the layout is a little cramped, but absolutely delicious food and really friendly staff. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for some great lunch.“

“The food was amazing, the service even better. The owner/cashier took such good care of us. Made it feel like we were visiting family. I highly recommend this place. I got the beef and chicken combo and it was very tender. 10/10. He even gave us chai. Wish I could say I’ll be back but I’m only visiting :(“

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“I love the food here it’s super yummy! My advice would be to make sure you clear the tables of dirty dishes it’s unappealing to look at while you’re dining there. Service is extremely friendly but a little slow. Also it’s nice when you have music playing.“

“5 stars. This place is a gem.

We had lunch here and the food was really delicious. We ordered the qabuli palo, house salad, and chicken wings — everything was perfect.

The qabuli palo was flavorful and cooked just right, with tender meat and aromatic rice. The house salad was fresh and a great balance to the meal.

But the crispy wings were such a WOW. Seasoned perfectly, super crispy on the outside, juicy inside. Easily the highlight.

Service was friendly and the place felt welcoming. We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Highly recommend if you want authentic, delicious food done right.“
