Afghan Restaurants near Rancho Cordova, CA

“Delicious food and amazing service. I visited on a Tuesday around noon, it was not busy. The waitress and team were very attentive and kind. I ordered the chicken tikka kabob with rice, garlic bread on the side, potato bolani, and vegetable soup. Everything tasted amazing and was cooked to perfection. I am definitely coming back here! I wish it was closer to the Bay Area. This is the most authentic Afghan food I have tried in America.“

“The owner is a friend of mine and having been to Afghanistan I can assure that the food is authentic, delicious and the atmosphere very hospitable.“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“The food tasted great and customer service was great. What i did not appreciate was the fact that we went to the buffet and my teenage son wanted to treat us well not knowing they had a table with dessert we asked if for everyone with buffet they said yes. When my son went to pay what was supposed to be $60 for 3 buffets was $85 because each item was individually priced on the dessert. Also they ran out of the meat that his friend enjoyed eating so he didn't get the full enjoyment of the buffet. They stated they would make sure not to run out we could come back tomorrow but at $85 that is way too much.“

“The customer service here is truly outstanding. We ordered the mixed kebab platter, Afghan burgers, and chicken biryani; everything was fresh and flavorful. Although the lamb Kebob was cooked slightly less than we preferred, the staff was exceptionally helpful and addressed our request immediately. We highly recommend this establishment for their commitment to excellent service. Thank you so much Sadiq Jan for you out standing customer service.“

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.“

“Had a great experience at Middle East Bakery & Grocery! The customer service was excellent — everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They have a great selection of fresh bakery items, groceries, and delicious food. One of the best things is that they stay open really late, which is super convenient when most places are already closed. Clean store, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food and late-night convenience!“

“The lamb in qabili palaw was tender and could be cut with fork. The curry was spicy but not over the top. All dishes well seasoned and attractively arranged even though takeout. The long grain rice and bread were also very tasty.“

“I have been a regular at Watan Halal Market and they never disappoint! Their fresh calf meat is always top quality, clean, tender and perfect for cooking. The meat I recently bought (pictured below) is a great example of the freshness and care they put into their products. We have also tried several local pizza places, including Twist, but my kids always prefer Watan’s pizza. It’s flavorful, well made, and perfect for family nights. Highly recommend Watan Halal Market for both your halal meat needs and a delicious pizza treat!“

“Fresh Medi’s banquet hall is stunning. It’s beautiful and bright, allowing the space to be magically transformed. The hospitality and service from the team here is top notch. We can’t wait to create here again at this stunning venue ✨“

“Afghan Fiji Halal Market is one of my favorite places for authentic Afghan food and groceries. The store is clean, well-stocked, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Their food is absolutely delicious—the kababs are flavorful, perfectly cooked, and some of the best I’ve had. The Qabuli Palaw is outstanding, with tender meat, perfectly seasoned rice, and just the right amount of sweetness from the raisins and carrots. The Chapati Naan is the best—always fresh, soft, and full of authentic flavor. They also serve what I consider some of the best pizza in town—fresh, tasty, and always satisfying.

What really sets this place apart is the value. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other markets, and the quality of both the food and groceries is excellent. Everything tastes fresh and homemade, and you get great portions for the price. Highly recommend stopping by for both their groceries and their amazing food!“

“Afghan Ice Cream & Grill is one of the only places I found everything fairly good. Here I had the traditional and athletic Qabli Palaw in which lamb and rice are simmered together which gives it the true flavor of Qabli, which is hard to find. The price was fair and a service with humility. Even though it’s a small place but the evening summer breeze on the patio made everything more pleasant.“
