Try the triple combination and potato Bolani (You're welcome). Unbelievable quality and taste is like no other. Seriously!
I only do takeout, there's no dine in and the restaurant is not the same. So take it to go and picnic at a nearby park

Second time driving all the way to Fremont just for it to be closed. Their hours on Google are never accurate. At this point I give up on trying this restaurant. The first time it happened I thought they made a mistake but the second time seriously?

Sad to say that things have changed. This restaurant used to serve nice large selection of good quality beef, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection beef kebabs. Now the pieces are small, have a sour taste and tough to chew. Guess this is the result of “shrinkflation” and change in management. We are going to have search for a new kabob place.
Potato Bolani is still good though.

We had a very disappointing experience with a server named Nabil. He made several mistakes with our order and was extremely rude. As we were leaving, he said, “If you want Afghan food, go to Afghanistan. This is an American restaurant.” We’ve been loyal customers for over 20 years, but this level of disrespect is unacceptable. If any of the owners are reading this, please address his behavior and ensure he understands how to treat customers with basic courtesy. I will also be reaching out to the owner directly. To others: be cautious when dealing with Nabil. If you’ve had a similar experience, I encourage you to share your review so he can understand that in the U.S., respectful service matters.

Our experience at De Afghanan was very disappointing. The food was bland and overpriced, and we even found a candy wrapper in our dish—which is unacceptable. When we asked for a refund, the staff hesitated and, to make matters worse, added a gratuity charge to our bill. The service felt rushed and inattentive, and the cramped seating made it uncomfortable. For the price, I expected much better quality and customer care. I won’t be returning.

I ordered Chiken Tkka kabob and both potato and hives (gandana) bolani, the bolanis were average Their chicken wasn’t good at all, their rice tasted as left over, their shor Nakhod was average Their prices are too high

I’ve been going here for the past 20 years and it’s always been great. The food is authentic Afghan cuisine and I can’t speak enough about it. My recommendation is the potato bolani, actually all their dishes are great.

Really bad behavior from the staff and the food was not fresh especially the salad was so bad .
I went to this place with my five guests at the middle of Ramadan 2025 to have our Iftar/dinner here. Unfortunately, the beef kebab, lamb kebab and chicken kebab which we ordered were fried in oil instead to be cooked on coal/fire, and each kebab for a person meal is contained of 3 or 4 pieces of small meat and it wasn’t giving the taste of kebab! the rice was not looking freshly cooked rice. The quality of their food is really very very bad in general! The cheapest order of their menu is over $18 bucks and it looks like they opened this restaurant to rob people. I really don’t recommend this place for anyone to burn their money. If anyone who goes to this restaurant, he/she will be regretful like I am regretful!

We arrived at 3:20 pm and were told they were closed even though Google Maps says it was not closing between lunch and dinner. As we left, we saw the hours on a door, which said it was open until 3:30 pm. Others were eating in the restaurant. Need an hours posted by the front door and not at the employee's entrance.

Food is mediocre, low quality for the price. The workers weren’t sure if the meat was Halal.
Best afghan food place period.
