Great food and kind service at a reasonable price. I'll definitely come back again. I recommend the lamb kabob. As of this writing it's not formally on the menu, but just ask for it.Came back again and seems to have disappeared. Not at this location anymore.

Today i ate the worst chapli kabob here, it was just potato and a lot of onions with just yellow rice instead of ghabili rice, if i could I didn't give you even one star.

Food was okay, the portions were small and wayy over priced-we paid almost $50 for 2 people, with no left overs to take home :( Unfortunately i will not be returning. There is another Afghan restaurant that i highly recommend called Maiwand Market, its on El Camino, in Santa Clara (i do not believe these restaurants are affiliated with each other) however.....that place is BOMB! im sorry but you cannot compare, that place serves significantly better quality and better tasting food.

The potato/leek half and half bolani was great. Very nice texture and tasty filling. We love bolani and this is definitely one of the best we have had in Bay Area. The hostess was super sweet and service was good.

One of the best places to eat Afghan food at. Take it from me because I am an Afghan haha. Owned n Ran by a Family. Super nice and very helpful specially Mustafa ( sorry if I misspelled it). Very decent pricing and portioning compared to other Afghan places or Persian restaurants. I always get Qabili Palau. Love their Kofta and Boulanee. Mostly I see people getting it to go including myself but I have been there with friends many times to eat and it was delicious every time. I would definitely recommend this place for anybody that's interested in eating Afghan food. I promise you won't be disappointed unless you are a sad soul by birth lol Jk

Nice location for quality halal food. Visited on Sat I believe. Looking forward to coming back with my coworkers. Prices are decent. This place has many great reviews for a reason.

Huge portions, excellent Qabili Pulao. The location is little shady.

110% authentic chapli kebab, the first place in USA where I have had the real Afghan chapli Kabab absolute a must-try, red chicken was also v good and so was the tikkah ( beef seekh kebab really, not sure why they call it beef tikkah)

As an Afghan who wants to support my fellow Afghans I'm sorry to say that this place was an utter disappointment to say the least. And I don't mean to sound negative but I hope the management takes my review seriously. On google it states the restaurant opens at 11am Tuesday through Friday. The sign on the window says they open at 11:30. I came on a Friday and I called at 11 and 11:30 with no answer. And it wasn't until a girl came in at 11:42 that they opened. I was really craving mantu so I waited until then. However when I walked in they said they were only doing to go orders and I wanted to dine in but couldn't. So I really think they need to work on their hours and open up in time so customers aren't forced to wait almost an hour like I did. I hope the management doesn't take offense to my post and takes this as constructive criticism. I wanna support Afghan owned businesses to help my fellow people so we can thrive in this country Insha'Allah. Thank you!

Good Good food. I'm a Barber across the street. I started working at the shop about a month ago and I've already been there at least 10 times.. Today I decided to reserve my food for pick up through GrubHub and it worked out perfectly, never disappointed, it taste home cooked and trust me you will be back for more. Super friendly people. I trust them with my food and they have yet to let me down. Delicious . If you haven't eaten there before, ask them to recommend a something for you off the menu and go with that.

Location in Fremont is way better and tastes better than this spot. Qabli palao was very blan and little to no meat, and baklava was old and spoiled. This shows that the staff at this location doesn't care about quality. The one in Fremont has the best quality and best tasting food.

Worst Afghan food I have ever eaten.I went there on Saturday.Spices are so less in chapali,beef and chicken kabab platter.Chef didn't put any salt in chapali kabab.They served free bread but the bread was served cold,I think they direct served it from refrigerator. Kabuli polao with lamb was also with out salt.I don't know how can they got so much stars.I will not definitely recommed this restaurant to others.Don't waste your money.
