Afghan Restaurants near Hayward, CA

“Nice and clean environment. Delicious food.“

“Great taste and very good customer service.“

“All was delicious; however, some basic items one might expect were unavailable, possibly due to a large party (80) that would be there later. Our group of 6 was easygoing about not being able to order some things we'd wanted. The disappointment didn't last long because what was available was very good.“

“We are from Connecticut, and during a recent trip to the Bay Area, we had the extreme good fortune to try the Afghan Awasana Kabob House. Oh my ... what an experience! The food was superb … an epicurean delight, but also plentiful, and very reasonably priced. The qabuli palow - a lamb shank dish was a standout, and the squash bolani - a stuffed flatbread was out of this world. The owner was very friendly during dinner, only to be surpassed by what happened after our dinner. Upon leaving, our car would not start. The owner offered to jump start our car. When that did not work, he offered us a ride back to the house where we were staying ... which we gratefully accepted. On the way, while we were thanking him profusely, he indicated that this was not an imposition as he routinely gave rides to his workers. I was moved to tears with his generosity. The Afghan Awasana Kabob House stimulated my palate, satiated my appetite, and above all, nourished my soul with renewed faith in the kindness of humanity. A truly memorable evening that will not soon be forgotten.“

“Visited the restaurant today was my first time there I want to say thank you so much for the amazing food and service will definitely visit again, coming from an Afghan myself the kabobs were authentic and delicious just like back home. 10000/10“

“Excellent customer service“

“Fantastic Afghan food! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Since each dish is made to order, there's a bit of a wait, but it’s well worth it.

Portions are generous — we ended up with enough leftovers for another full meal at home. The service was excellent too: warm, attentive, and made the experience even better.

If you're in the area and craving something authentic and satisfying, this place is a must!“

“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.“

“awesome place and great food“

“After like 25 years I tasted a real Bolani Watani. It reminded me the Bolani we used to eat from right infront of our school. This is really super Bolani. I will come again and Thanks for hospitality.

By the way thier service is all the way 10 🌟“

“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“

“This place is SO good! Been coming here for years and the food is just as good as ever. First of all the service is excellent; servers Masoud and Nawid were just incredible people - super kind and helpful. The cooking staff - David, Yadira, and Judith are also so friendly and talented at what they do. The lamb under rice is always melt off your fork tender. The bolani is crispy and moist and just a little bit spicy, which goes perfectly with the tart yogurt. And the Mandu ? were delicious and unique from Asian dumplings. Portions are very generous and we always have leftovers. My wife and I love this place and highly recommend it!!!“

“Absolutely loved my dining experience at {PESHAWARI KABABS]! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients in every dish. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It’s refreshing to find a restaurant with such a great selection of authentic Halal options. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Halal food.

My sincere thanks to everyone, with special appreciation for Haji Dawood and Hazrat Bilal.“
