This is one fantastic restaurant! The space is large, clean, and the staff are very friendly…read more The food is absolutely amazing and delicious bite after bite. Started with Dolmeh which I have never had warm. It was Fantastic! Opted in for the Kings Feast with salad instead of rice. It was plenty to share and the flank steak was juicy and tender, the chicken was flavorful and not dry, and the kubadwa was well seasoned. The baklava was a perfect dessert to wrap up the meal. Will be back again to try more meals.

I Rating: 2 out of 5 I'd almost give this place a three, but…read morethere were a few major issues. When we first walked in, the smell was overwhelming -- almost like a septic tank. It lingered throughout the whole restaurant, and I'm honestly surprised anyone could sit through it. There were only two other tables filled, which probably explains why business seemed slow. On the positive side, the food itself was decent. The kebab khobideh was easily the best thing we tried -- it came out hot and tasted freshly made. We ordered several other dishes, but most of them were lukewarm, like they'd been sitting out for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see tahdig on the menu -- they gave us a generous portion for only $12, which was a nice touch. Service was very good; our server was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about our experience. Unfortunately, the aesthetics of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. The bathroom and walls looked run-down, and overall it didn't feel very clean or inviting -- definitely not a good spot for a date night. If you're craving Persian food and don't mind a rougher atmosphere, they do have a nice selection, and the ghormeh sabzi was good. But overall, this place needs some serious attention to cleanliness and upkeep before I'd consider coming back. We walked at. 200 dollar bill. That hit us 4 entrees and 3 appetizers with three lemonades. The quantity was good.

I am so sorry to hear that Kabul Afghan Cuisine is closing. I became a big fan during COVID, but…read morerecently went here is person when I heard the owners were retiring and they were going to close. The restaurant is comfortable (but if you are to go before they close, get there early because lines are long). Service was friendly and great. For appetizers, we had Bolani (potato turnovers) and Burta (eggplant and garlic). Both were unique dishes are really delicious, everyone in our party loved them and they were gone quickly. However what I love and will miss so much are the kabobs. I leaned to the lamb, but often got the steak. They were always cooked perfectly with just the ideal combination of spices. Really delicious. They will be missed.

Kabul Afghan Cuisine absolutely blew me away. I came with my friends, a party of 5 so we had to…read morewait about 10-15 mins but it was 10000% worth it. We shared a bunch of appetizers: bolani, burta, and the mushroom qorma. Burta was my fav but every single dish was so flavorful. For my mains, I got the murgh kebab.. the chicken was so tender and well-marinated but the flavored rice stole the show for me. Also the place feels super authentic, cozy, warm, not trying too hard, just real. And the owner was hilarious, so witty, and made the whole experience feel extra special. You can tell he cares and it shows. Now the saddest part: I just found out this restaurant has been around for decades and is closing forever soon. Truly heartbreaking! I really wish I'd discovered it sooner. If you've been meaning to go, don't wait. This spot is a gem and def deserves a visit before it's gone. FYI, it closes on Jan 3rd 2026!
