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.“

“Our first time here. We ordered Combo Kabob & Borani Badanjan and they were so good that we finished everything. Highly recommended. They are a small business so don’t expect fancy atmosphere. But if you’re into delicious Afghanistan food, this is it. I wasn’t planning to post so didn’t take any pictures but I think the restaurant deserves some credit and nice review so I started writing.“

“Excellent customer service“

“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.“

“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!“

“awesome place and great food“

“I have been coming to this bakery for the past year and they have some amazing sweets and also do serve Afghan food. I particularly love the Bolani and the Qhaloli Polo the meat is very tender and flavorful. I definitely recommend to everyone. Go try them out and I promise you will love it.“

“I ordered the falafel salad and an appetizer similar to dumplings. The appetizer was excellent and reminded me of Cincinnati chilli but as a dumpling. The Falafel salad was was ok. It's likely better as a wrap. I'd eat here again.“

“Best afghan food place period.

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

Pro-tip: Bring cash“
