Second close favorite was the eggplant dish, which paired nicely with bread. We also enjoyed the chicken shami wrap was good. Service was so the slower side, with only one person on the wait staff. They are busy with a steady flow of guests dining in. Free parking in the plaza.

Afghan Kabob's subtitle is Authentic Afghanistan Food - I'm not knowledgeable either way, but the…read morefood is pretty tasty! The interior is a lot nicer than it would seem from its strip mall location. The kabobs are seasoned well and have some spice to it. The owner/manager(?) is super friendly, but always hustling. The kabuli palaw is fall-of-the bone tender, definitely should give it a try! I've had dine-in and carry out. They do take care of the carry out. The food is presented nice even after I get it home. I couldn't say it's a hidden gem because a lot of people know about this spot, the dine-in is busy (but not crowded). It's a well-known gem.

I had the lamb shank meal. The seasoning and touches. Shredded carrots atop the seasoned rice. Wonderful flavor and very large quantity. Easily to be shared. I enjoyed nice hot tea with fresh mint. Nice family restaurant located in the Westfield Shopping Plaza, free open parking lot for customers. Large catering menu and delivery. Very busy community and shopping center.

This is a wonderful place with some great food. It's in a convenient location with its own parking…read morelot. Inside, there was one room with basic tables, and another with linen tablecloths (choose which you prefer). You order at the counter, get a number, get your own utensils and such, and they bring the food to your table. I went with some friends who got the lunch special (very good), but I couldn't resist the Spring Lamb Shank. Oh, that was so good. The lamb shank had incredible flavor, good seasoning, and tons of jus. The carrots and onions on that platter were perfectly cooked - just enough, but still with a crunch (onions) and a bite (carrots). It comes with a platter with rice (I got both kinds), hummus (could have used a bit more of that), sauce, onions, pickled turnips (perfect for balancing the richness), and bread (lavash?) that is great for making a wrap. They have very good to-go containers (it's a lot). This is a flavor-bomb and great food.

My husband and I came in for a quick bite to eat. We did not take any pictures because…read moreunfortunately I left my phone in the car. The food we had was really good I had the Shish Kabob Sandwich, it came with two 10" kabobs that were made out of Halal ground beef, it was nice and spicy and full of flavor. A quarter of my plate was lettuce with raw onion (which I really love to eat on my sandwiches). There were Also two pieces of naan that were both about the same size as the plate. My husband had the Butter Chicken and he says it was good and unlike any other Butter Chicken he has tried in the past (other places make it with more of a tomato flavor). It also came with rice (he could choose rice or naan) The Shish Kabob meal includes rice or naan on the menu... but she told us that there is a separate charge for this. She said prices for Halal meat have gone up. She did not charge us this time but will next time and instead of $8.99 for the Shish Kabob meal, we were charged $9.99 which is not a big deal. They also automatically add a 15% gratuity charge to the bill. I have seen a charge like this at other restaurants for large groups but never just for me and my husband. If they don't include the naan or the rice I don't think it would be very filling, I would rather see them have an updated menu with the correct (increased) pricing which includes naan or rice. If this is not an option, at least tell us when we are ordering. If you plan on dining here I suggest asking for pricing if your paying with cash to make sure you have enough money with you. Other then that, we will be back!

I always expect hot spices with any dish ordered from an Indian/similiar restaurant, but this was unnecessarily spicy. The chicken quality was no good and the dish reminded me of leftovers that had been in the fridge for days. Ate a few spoonfuls, had my husband try it to make sure it wasn't just me ( it sure wasn't) and threw the entire thing in the trash. Gross
