    3. Two Chicken Tikka Kabab Platter
    Mary T.

    I love this place! I picked up food today and always try something different. This is the chicken kabob. Lightly grilled pieces to perfection. Brown rice and red onions, with lemon. They usually have 3 sauces, two shown and a green sauce, but was out of it. The entire combo and a yogurt drink was $17. Definitely a regular takeout for me, and it might be for you.

    Truly loved the food I got from this spot. I haven't tried much Afghan food, but it looks like I will need more after getting a try for the first time from Afghan Kabab House. I tried their chicken kofta/kufta paratha roll and the chicken samosas. Both were super delicious. And the prices are absolutely amazing for the prices! Such a fantastic deal for both items. They gave 4 very large pieces of samosas for $7. They are shaped more like patties. Super crispy on the outside and not too oily. There's only chicken on the inside. Seasoned very well. A tad on the dry side, but still amazing. The paratha roll was also exquisite. The paratha itself is perfectly made. A bit chewy, crispy, and overall amazing. They have a really tasty, somewhat creamy white sauce with the roll. For $9, awesome size. This place is called the Kabab house, so the meat has to be good. And it definitely was. The chicken kofta meat was still juicy when I ate the sandwich. Great texture, not too hard at all. The perfect amount of char. Amazing seasoning without being overpowering. Definitely recommend. All in all, highly recommend this place. It's locally owned and I believe the only Afghan spot in Pittsburgh. The meat is amazing and prices are great!

    I loved getting the opportunity to try this hidden gem. SO GOOD. and I went in the kitchen as I was invited to try it and it was beyond clean.

    I love that Carnegie has been having a resurgence the last few years. With it, a lot of great locally owned restaurants. This includes Afghan Kabab House! The owners and employees are AWESOME!!! Seriously some of the nicest people ever. Food is available for take away or dining in. I really love the Chicken Tikka, Beef Kofta and wraps. They even have basic food items like burgers and fries (but please order something authentic). Meats are always well seasoned and tender. Every bite leaves a lingering taste of delicious in my mouth.

    Chicken Kofta kebab platter, falafal platter.  Both served with seasoned brown rice, a side salad, and a bottle of water.

    We had lunch here today and it was delicious. Large enough portions with the platters to make two lunches (we exercised a LOT of self-control and took half home). The restaurant is brightly-lit and colorful, the woman who took our order was helpful and the food arrived very quickly. Each of the platters came with a separate salad and a bottle of water. The brown basmati rice was very flavorful (it wasn't just plain ol' rice, had some herbs and spices mixed in) and my husband's chicken kofta kebabs were tender and very good. My falafel was also spiced just right and nice and crispy on the outside. The only issue I had (and it was a minor one) was that I ordered Afghan tea, expecting a spiced tea, and was instead given a small to-go cup of hot water with a green teabag. Not a big deal, though, the meal more than made up for it.

    Underneath the iceberg with ranch is 4 pieces of dry Lamb Tikka Wrap

    Haven't got the slightest clue how this place has 4.5 stars, but the suburban Suburban crowds aren't known for their middle-eastern cuisine prowess...so, there ya go. This might be the most overpriced wanna be middle eastern (or whatever) food I've ever, unfortunately, paid for. That's not 'tzatziki', that's RANCH!! Hidden valley to be exact. And it's somehow more gross on the ice burg/pale tomato salad crap they dish to start. The meat wasn't terrible, but the $17 price for 4 tiny cubes of lamb then a $2 bottle of water, was. They don't even offer a glass faucet water. The guy who took my order was unpleasant.

    What a delicious experience! I am really impressed at the variety of food options available in Carnegie. A bonus for this place is how late they are open. We needed someplace to eat after my son's performance and they were one of the few in the area still serving food. When you enter, there is a counter area where you can order takeout and in another room is the seating area. There are two separate areas: one with standard tables and chairs and one area where you sit on the floor (on beautiful rugs and pillows for comfort). It was really interesting seeing an area that is true to the cuisine's country traditions. We ordered a Mantu (steamed dumplings with beef and seasonings) and babaganoush for our appetizer and a family platter for our entree. Everything was delicious. The meat on the family platter was perfectly seasoned and the rice has a flavor that compliments the meats well. The sauces they give to accompany the meal were perfect. My favorite was the cilantro which had a fresh taste and a bit of a kick. A plus to the family platter is that we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. We'll definitely be back.

    1. Family Combo for 2-3 People

    Service is typical, nice but there's a language barrier. Food was hot and fresh, seating is available for fast dining. Meat is super tender. Price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this place for middle eastern/afghan food. Rice was cooked good too, they know what they're doing Maybe the best afghan food in Pittsburgh

    What a fantastic relatively new restaurant to get gyros, kebabs, and many other delicious treats!…read moreThey have some more Middle Eastern style food items, and others which are Indian, and even some more Americanized food. Lots of meat. I decided to try out their brownies, chocolate chip cookie, and the chicken seekh kebab. Everything was so, so good. The portions, the flavors, everything, it was all delicious. The chicken seekh kebab was amazing. It was tender and so tasty. It had the perfect amount and balance of spice. The rice was also tasty, fluffy, well made. Nice and fresh vegetables. That white sauce went perfectly with the meat. Highly recommend. The two desserts I tried out were also very good. The brownie especially, absolutely delicious. It was so fudgey and filled with chocolate; I loved it. The chocolate chip cookie was also pretty good, and absolutely huge. Nice chocolate bits all throughout. I would especially recommend the brownie! All in all, I highly recommend this place. The meat was amazing. Such a good bowl, and so fresh. The desserts are also delicious. I'd love to come back!

    Penn gyro is a good restaurant for those that love Lebanese cuisine or Mediterranean! The gyro is…read morenot Greek gyro, I was disappointed but not a bad gyro. I will not return but for those that love this type of cuisine it's a good place ! Recommend for others but not for me.
