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.“

“Absolutely loved my experience here! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Everything came out fresh and nicely presented. Definitely a place I’d recommend to friends and family, and I’ll be coming back again!
It absolutely gives me the Kabul vibe.“

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

“I really enjoyed my experience at Middle East Bakery. The food tasted fresh and authentic, and you can tell that they put effort into the quality of their products. I especially liked the variety of pastries and Middle Eastern foods they offer. The flavors were good without being too overwhelming, and the portions were reasonable for the price.

The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made the experience better. The place felt simple and welcoming, although it could be a little busy at times. Overall, I think Middle East Bakery is a good spot if you want to try authentic Middle Eastern food and baked goods. It may not be perfect, but the food, variety, and overall experience make it worth checking out. I would definitely come back and try more items next time.“

“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.“

“Respectful staff…………………….“

“I never been there, but it any place that makes gyros with lamb is awesome“

“Food is always great, hot and freshly made. Awesome portion sizes and really friendly and accommodating staff. Their mango lassi is bomb and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. 100% recommend!“

“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.“

“The food is very good for the price you pay. My husband and I love the goat curry, chicken masala, nan garlic bread and beef kebab. The staff is very friendly and helpful, Leticia is such a sweet lady, always checking us what we need with a smile always. She’s very pleasant and nice. We will definitely coming back again. ❤️“
