“Jaji is an extremely welcome addition to Oakland with an amazing menu, delicious food and a team that goes above and beyond to make sure you’ll have a great evening. The staff were so kind to us and helped us make great decisions on what to eat and drink. Don’t skip the chicken liver pate and the whole fish was beautifully fried and delicious.

Jaji team, thank you for a magical evening. My husband and I had the best time and we’re looking forward to returning!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Sashi Singh my pal from down in Stillwater Canyon was in the city and invited me to dinner in this Afghani Restaurant he found. Well, I haven't had camel hump in years, so I said sure! We met up at De Afghanan Kabob House and had a great dinner. I have no idea what we ate because Sashi ordered for us, all I know is it wasn't organ meat, and it tasted pretty good. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“
