Afghan Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“The sauces were incredible. Lamb went well with rice. Not too dry.

Firnee dessert was given as service - so sweet of them.

I recommend eating the dumpling with both red and green chili as well as the yogurt sauce - in one bite makes a difference.“

“I came from upstate. It is very conveniently located by the Triboro bridge.
Very authentic Afghani food at very reasonably priced. On the top of that great friendly service.
Now I have to keep coming and I highly recommend this place for family treat👍“

“Dunya Kabab House is a standout spot for anyone who loves rich, authentic flavors and generous portions. The food is consistently fresh and well-prepared — the kebab meat is tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, while the sides like rice, salads, and sauces tie everything together beautifully. Whether you order a wrap, a platter, or a full grilled meal, you can count on bold flavors and satisfying portions every time.

The staff is welcoming, polite, and efficient, always making sure customers are taken care of. Even during busy hours, orders come out quickly and the service remains friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience.

Dunya Kabab House is an excellent choice for a flavorful meal at a reasonable price. If you’re looking for quality Middle Eastern cuisine with great service, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!“

“I LOVE SEEING, GOING TO AND EATJNG AT ZABIHA HALAL RESTAURANTS.
Tried a few items and the freshness was amazing. Parking is easily available. Cozy and comfortable seating area. Great witb privacy area for families. Kebabs were juicy. Rice were well cooked and finished with green tea (which should be complimentary like many other restaurants who provide either complimentary bread or tea) it wiuld be a nice change, not an expensive option at all.“

“Ali is a welcoming host and server. The (vegetarian) food was delicious!! We got the vegetarian sampler which was tasty and filling for two of us. Plus he advised us that the rice is not vegetarian so we had the delicious bread instead! How thoughtful. This is a small restaurant that deserves a big reputation! The price was quite reasonable. What a find! Overall excellence!!“

“Really good food amazing service“

“The food here competes with the very best spots. The meals demonstrate evident superiority. The staff showed consistent table awareness. The design choices here are refreshingly unique. Really happy with my meal. I can't wait to return for other menu items.“

“An absolutely wonderful Afghan dining experience! The food was rich in flavor, beautifully spiced, and clearly made with care and tradition. The kabobs were tender and juicy, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like a traditional Afghan meal. The service was kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.“

“Extremely cozy little place. Food is fantastic, but I have to give a special shoutout to the owner, who will immediately make you feel like an old friend welcoming you to his home. It’s hard not to leave with a smile on your face, but that aside, everything is delicious. The Kabuli Palow is a big highlight.“

“I worked with Kabob Shack to feed about 50 folks during a community event in Williamsburg. To start, I appreciated their community-oriented approach. They were really flexible, supportive of the organization, and responsive to our dietary needs & timeline.

The employees are kind and helpful. The food was delicious! We got plates for those who eat chicken and falafel plates for folks who didn't eat meat. Both plates had rice, salad, pita, and chickpeas in a tomato sauce. Folks felt nourished and satisfied. The plates had enough for lunch & to snack on later! The sauces were delicious - some folks even asked to take them home with them at the end of the day. The food felt fresh, made with love, and good flavors for sure! Thank you!

Note: Wish we could've got photos of the chicken plate as well, but we got so excited about eating!“

“сама хозяйка,её улыбка,кухня шикарная,атмосфера любви,чистоты души!“

“I love Lasani restaurant. Their prices are very reasonable and so when my husband and I are looking to eat out but not fancy it’s our go-to spot. Food is delicious, veg and non veg options, fast service. I like the environment, casual dining. Open late, too! Lasani is one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey City. When I want to eat out in a casual way, this is my spot. Highly recommend the roti!

Vegetarian options: I love the Chana, sometimes they have different veggies like cauliflower, spinach, depends on the day. Their roti is vegan and it’s soooo soft and good.

Parking: Easy to park“
