The food was delicious, from the bolani to the chicken, the beef, and the freshly baked bread. If you want great Afghan food, this is the place to be. read more

Was craving for kabobs and found this place through yelp. Glad I did! The kabobs were delicious, we had the 3 meat combo with chicken breast, beef tikka, and beef chaplee. We also had the half and half bolani which was also very good and quite large. Service was great our server was very friendly. The place is small but quite comfortable. Ventilation must be good because despite the open kitchen the cooking fumes don't make it out to the dining area. read more

My wife and I stopped by Chopan Kabob for lunch on a Saturday around noon and the restaurant was pretty empty. Between the two of us, we shared the bolani kachaloo -- flat-bread stuffed with mashed potato, green onion and herbs, and a combo platter -- opting for the beef shami and the lamb kabob, since the chicken shami was not available at the time. Considering that we were likely the first party to dine in that day and that the kitchen is a pretty small operation, the food took around 25 minutes to prepare. We didn't mind waiting, but if you're in a large group or are in a hurry, you should definitely keep this in mind and plan accordingly. The bolani is fried really well. It's not the crispiest I've ever had, but I attribute that to the steaming potato filling inside. I'm sure air-frying the leftovers will be incredible. The yogurt sauce is such a refreshing contrast to the fried bolani. The proteins from our combo platter were both very juicy. I loved the rich combination of spices used in the meats. We wish we had a chance to try the chicken shami, but otherwise between the lamb kebab and the beef shami, the beef was our preferred of the two. If you ordered the bolani like we did, the proteins both go really well with the yogurt sauce as well. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely stopping by Chopan Kebob again for a meal. read more

Small, homey place with ~6-7 tables inside and additional seating outside. Greeted and seated as soon as we walked in on a Friday evening. A lot of parking tho the parking lot can be a little tight. Bolani was good, flavorful and peppery with a nice crispy outside. Yogurt it came with was refreshing. 10/10 Chaplee wasn't too spicy, flavorful and had a unique crisp to it 10/10 Beef/chicken kabobs were reeeeally flavorful, not spicy, not dry. Points that our 6 month old was able to eat this with us 10/10 Lamb was lacking which is a bummer because i love lamb. Tho it had good flavor and aroma, it was dry 6/10 Mantu were fresh, good amount of filling 10/10 Overall, prices were reasonable, portions were good size and the service was friendly/quick. Would come back. read more

I moved away during the pandemic and had to come back to the bay for an appointment today. There's no good Afghan food within 75 miles of where I currently live (greater-Sac). Found myself craving this spot and was so happy I decided to stop here. The service is friendly and the dining room is clean and cozy. The food tasted better than I remember. The beef chaplee and lamb seekh kabab were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chutneys were a delicious compliment. Can't wait to go back! read more

I found out that the owner keeps the tips that are paid with credit cards. The waiters earn the tips plus the cooks but the owner pockets it! This is NOT a good business practice! This was the second employee that told me, they only get jar tips which is ridiculous! These workers work hard to support their families and should keep the tips but the owner pockets it smh. Very disappointing! read more

The menu is what you would expect for an afghan kabob shop. Bolani (potato) and eggplant with the chicken kabob was the choice. With a green tea to wash it down. The meal was well prepared and the bolani was nice and crisp with minimal oil. Lots of yogurt dip served with it. The eggplant is served with pita like bread and is enough to share. The kabob plate comes with rice and a green salad. I'm not sure Italian dressing is what you would get in Kabul. But this is Concord CA and so it was. The price is fair. 40 bucks for it all. My wife got a Diet Coke The mural is amazing btw read more

Chopan Kabob - Traditional mural - Afghan Near Me - Concord, California

This is a small but deceivingly spacious Afghani restaurant tucked into a Latin strip mall in Concord. We enjoyed a nice halal dinner here of bhulani, lamb chops, chicken kababs, and rice. They weren't a lot of customers inside, but nonstop online orders, which is always a good sign. The kitchen is small but mighty and will definitely return. Hot, fresh, and authentic. Alhamdulillah! read more

We had a very nice lunch at Chopan Kabob! We ordered one of the bolani options and the lentil soup. The food was delicious, and the waiter, Nicholas, very friendly. He patiently explained the items on the menu. The place is clean and organized. We will return to this restaurant. read more

This is a cute little restaurant that you can get some fresh food. I've had some Afghan food before and wanted to find some place closer to home. Decided to try Chopan as an option. We got there, and it took about 20 mins to make our order. The chicken tikka masala was okay. I'd probably try another place for that. The potato bolani was good, and the choplee and chicken combo was a little less than expected. I thought it would be a little more for the price, but it tasted good. I think I'll come back and try some other things. read more

I highly recommend the tandoori fish plate. The fish is delicious it's very moist and flavorful and is prepared when ordered.

It's a authentic local cozy Afghan restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Kids friendly in the outside seating. Good for groups and meetup. It's located in a plaza with lots of free parking. We had kitchen and beef kabobs with cumin rice, really tenderly delicious. Dal soup was a bit spicy to me but still refreshing. Will come back for casual eat in or takeout. read more

Chopan Kanob is my new go to place when looking for Afghan food in the area! Everything here is a delicious! Located inside a plaza on Monument, the area is busy but there is usually parking. The employees are very friendly and attentive. Some of the sweetest people I've met! The restaurant has a few tables to dine in and when I came during lunch time, they were busy but I there was space to sit. Now the food is delicious! I came with my coworkers during lunch and we tried a few dishes. Everything was delicious. I had a combo plate that came with the Chaplee Beef Kabob (beef patty) and the Chicken Kabob. The plate came with rice, salad and bread. The meat was very flavorful and absolutely delicious! It's definitely one of the best ones I've tried. I also ordered a side of yogurt to eat with the dish. It complemented the dish very well so that's a must have for me. My friend tried the Mantu, steamed dumpling, with sauce and garlic yogurt and the flavor was extraordinary! The ingredients are good quality, everything tastes freshly made and their flavors are delicious. If you are in the mood for Afghan food, give this place a try! read more

Very bad service. I order Bolani over the phone they told me it takes 45 minutes. I drove all the way from San Ramon to Concord. and they forgot about my order waste of time. They need to work on their Customer Service. read more

Tandoori chicken meal was delicious. Food took a while, and my car was getting new tires while I was eating. There was only 1 other person eating and it took about 20 minutes for the food. It did taste really good though, so I assume it was not pre prepared, hence the longer wait. HOWEVER, what bugged me was I selected this place because there was a Yelp coupon for a free soup with your meal. I enabled the coupon, sat down, ordered and also showed the coupon for the soup and was told they didn't do the free soup coupon anymore. What? Then you folks need to have it removed from your Yelp listing... felt like I got lured in with a false promise. read more

Just recently had lunch at Chopan Kabob with my buddy here at Chopan Kabob. He has nothing but good praises for this restaurant and to that end, he is mostly right. We came in just under the busy lunch hour and promptly got our orders in. I had the Two Meat Combo with beef shami and chicken kabob. I also got their Personal Bolani as an appetizer. The bolani was very good. It's stated as personal but this can very well be shared by two. The flatbread was crisped to perfection. The chutney, potatoes, and herbs were harmoniously delicious. I also appreciated that this bolani has a little kick (spice) to it. The meat combo meal was stout as well. The chicken was wonderfully marinated and not dry. The shami beef has all the right aromas. Drizzle the whole plate with generous chutney, and the whole dish is delish. read more

Chopan Kabob - Afghan Near Me - Concord, California

I eat at this restaurant on a regular basis, it is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Concord area. My friend and I sat outside yesterday since it was a nice day. It's a small restaurant with maybe 20 seats inside and 20 seats outside. I always over-order when I go to my favorite restaurants, so I can have a few meals even after I leave. My order was as follows: Mango yogurt drink - 16oz, a little too sweet, but not bad for a pre-made bottled drink Dall - maybe I misunderstood what I read but I thought this was a dip that came out with naan. What came out was more like a soup. Great savory flavor and wonderful with the naan dipped into it. Naan - is thicker and heartier than Indian naan. Good earthy flavor but I would recommend getting a soup to pair it with as this style of bread can be a bit dry. I also recommend eating all of it with your meal as it doesn't travel well, unless you have soup to eat at home. Bolani Kachaloo - this is easily my favorite item on their menu. I always order the full size as it gives me an appetizer at the restaurant plus another 1-2 full meals when I get home. It's cooked to a golden brown on either side and the potato filling has a nice flavor to it, spiced but not spicy. It comes with their onion, cucumber yogurt sauce and I also love the green cilantro chutney. Incidentally, I would buy that chutney in bulk if I could. Spicy, sour goodness. Combination Plate 3-Meat combo - I ordered my three favorites, Beef Shami and Chicken Shami and beef choplee. My absolute favorite is the choplee, it's ground meat with spices and onions, cooked to a brown crisp on both sides. The beef and chicken shami has great flavor and texture. On a side note, the beef and chicken kabobs are both good too, they actually know how to fully cook chicken without it being as hard as a hockey puck. The Basmati Rice is always cooked light and fluffy. No baklava this trip but I can vouch that it's legit. I eat here about every 2-3 weeks and I've tried most of their menu items. Stop by and eat here, you will walk away full and satisfied. read more

Chopan Kabob For lunch today, I was convinced by my family member to have the Kabob. We usually look at the Yelp but only look at the one with the most views. We been to this one before, pretty good experience and the only think is that the meat usually is a little bit dry in my opinion (if I want to be picky) but still good. We order the beef Shami kabob and Lamb Karahi (first time trying and order spicy). This is a small locally own restaurant and you can smell the wonderful meat being grilled while waiting. Sitting area might not be fancy but you won't come here if you are looking for something fancy or romantic any way. Shami seems to be a little dry and the lamb in the Karahi seems a little bit chewy. However, I think that just typical when you pick the meat that's lean w less fat (which is what they are doing). I just like something w little fat. Other than that everything is great. We need to encourage small business and give them five starts. Just the food might be 4.5. The staff members are professional, nice, and did stop by and ask how's everything. Will come back~ read more

I love the Lamb Tika Kabob dish. The lamb and rice are delicious. Portions are generous

I was on my way to another afghan restaurant until I found out they closed early for the day so I opted for this place and I'm so grateful I stumbled upon this restaurant. I've had authentic Afghan food before but this has got to be the best tasting so far. They were busy being that it was Father's Day so that's my fault but so so DELICIOUS and the service was great and helpful. read more
