Afghan Restaurants in Houston, TX

“The food here is real authentic Afghan“

“The food here is delicious. It’s one of the best Afghan restaurants in Houston. The meat is very tender and flavorful, rice is fluffy and cooked to perfection. The naan is very good and the yogurt drink is amazing. Their bolani is also very delicious. Would def recommend!“

“Kandahari is hands down one of the best Afghani restaurants around. The food is phenomenal—especially the chapli kebab, chicken karahi, and lamb charsi karahi. Every bite is packed with flavor and feels like a taste of home. The garlic naan is a must, perfect for scooping up the rich, savory sauces, and the hummus is smooth, creamy, and full of flavor.

The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure you’re comfortable and satisfied. Whether you’re new to Afghan cuisine or grew up with it, Kandahari makes you feel like family. A real gem—can’t recommend it enough!“

“One of the best Chapli kabab place in Houston. I also ordered qabli palao and lamb chops platter. Everything was very well cooked and tasted great. Prices are also decent but 15% service charges seems a bit high compare to the service provided and the ambiance of the restaurant itself. Server was great but only one guy running the entire place by himself. However I do recommend this place for some good Chapli kabab and qabli palao.“

“We were there for lunch service was great & Kamran did an excellent job - 5 star

Wheelchair accessibility: The only problem wheelchair space is not enough in parking lot , but always kind people are around to help. Sometimes they come out from the restaurant to help - we appreciate very much“

“Owner seems extremely caring and passionate about his creation and business. Loved the keema and chicken naan we had. Definitely would come again to try rest of the options. Pretty quick service and fresh taste. We liked ours with butter. Must have if you like crunchy flavor full stuffed bread!

Vegetarian options: Alo naan

Parking: A lot of free parking available on the lot

Kid-friendliness: Families were eating at the dinning area. They were open while rest of Sugarland was struggling with power after hurricane.“

“This is in response to an ignorant man who wrote the following:abu....something.1. Why have escalators that don't escalate? Just put stairs if yall don't want to fix them.- Then use the stairs lazy bone.2. There was a horrible odor that was unbearable walking up the metal spike stairs.- take your mask with you next time.3. It was 11:30 am on a Wednesday half of the shops where closed.- who goes shopping at 11:30 am? get a job!!4. The places that were open had a terrible attitude when you walked in.- you get what you give. Karma!!5. From the street, this place looks amazing, but it's all makeup when you get close enough. You see the real image.- You need glasses, get an eye exam.I don't know what is wrong with people. You have a goldmine in one of Houstons prime locations. Give it its due right.-Let me tell you what is wrong with people like YOU is you have no job, a lot of time, to troll someone's bread and butter like this. Shame on you!!.I am a customer here too but I see this often that Indian people defaming Indian businesses. What kind of people do that?If you have bought something or spent $$ there and then they did not give you something that you hoped for, you can write that, but because you did not like the esthetics, or the odor, or escalator not working. Shame!.“

“I tried New Saffron Kabob House with a recommendation from a friend. I ordered their chapli kabob. I instantly loved it. I am safe to say that it’s one of the best Afghan food in Houston! It is located in the Guatemalan town of Hillcraft. Do check it out if you want to try one of the most underrated cuisines. “afghan cuisine”“
