Afghan Restaurants near Queens, NY

“Delicious Afghan food & Cozy environment. Service was great. The koftas & rice were so perfectly cooked and tender. We love Afghan food so we try different Afghan restaurants all the time. So glad we droveby this one & decided to check it out.

The kachaloo appetizers was great as were the chapli kababs. They were very flavorful & tender. I got the chicken combo my dad got the lamb kaftan, both dishes were served with brown rice. I also got a beef kofta dish & spinach dish to go. I highly recommend Afghan Kabab House to everyone who likes to eat delicious food like I do.“

“I currently live in Tennessee, where it is nearly impossible to find authentic Afghan food. That is why, every time I travel to New York, one of my first stops is Balkh Kabab House Afghan Chai Khana. This restaurant is not just about food—though the dishes are always delicious, fresh, and authentically prepared. What makes it truly extraordinary is the way it embodies the heart of Afghan culture: hospitality. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed with warmth and kindness. Here, you don’t feel like a customer; you feel like part of the family. For me, this place is very special. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s a home away from home.“

“Love what they have done with the place,
My family loved their food.
HMS certified place, hand slaughtered meat.

As always a must try and definitely will be coming back!“

“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.“

“Tucked away in the corner of the lot and not that visible from the road but man they make some delicious halal food. We got platters, chicken nuggets and salad and it was all so damn delicious.

Their prices are very fair given the high quality if their food it's like restaurant grade in my opinion. They have a vast menu and something for everyone. Convenient parking lot right outside. Come and try them out you'll be glad you did.“
