Lamb curry is mild than the spicy Indian curry dish we're used to, which is refreshing. Finally, the lamb and beef kofta combo. Beef kofta was just how we liked it, crispy on the outside but soft inside. Lentil soup and nan were complimentary. Two options for seating it's either the floor or the table. This place is a gem and we will be back for sure. FYI, tipping is not processed when they run your card unless you tell them. We bought a soda and add the tip after.

Driving off we saw a sign saying kebab and Afghani restaurant. You can easily miss it! We parked again and decided to try it! Upon entry we were greeted by a very nice guy telling us to sit wherever we like. They have traditional seating on the floor. There was one person enjoying his meal sitting there We opted for a table and got the recommendation from the owner on what to eat. We got 2 plates one the lamb shank and the lamb shops. Each came with a small serving of daal. Both dishes were bursting with flavors! The daal was amazing! If we weren't restaurant hopping I would have ordered a whole bowl to eat! Then the chef came out asking us if we are liking the food... it was a really nice experience to talk culture and food Will definitely be back!

I think the fried has some yummy turmeric on it. I'm always looking for places that are a bit more gut conscientious, and have balanced portions . The meal was $17.00 through DoorDash but I only paid $11.00 with a discount. I would say the food was well worth the pay. When I went inside it wasn't very busy around lunch time which was surprising considering how tasty the food is. Black chef back there is doing wonders. It has a very quiet, peaceful ambiance. Very much enjoyed. Thank you. I think this place needs more visitors!

Our experience here was unforgettable as the staff-specifically abdul and angi- was very attentive and inviting. They reccommended their best dishes and they did not disappoint.

The mezza platter is a great starter and mint lemonade perfect for summer days.

Naara is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in San Antonio…read more In business for a long time, Naara offers a wide variety of Mediterranean food, keeping the out authenticity of the flavors in every plate. The food selection is large. I would recommend you to look at their menu, but my favorite is the chicken shawarma plate. Every time I come here this is my selection. They also have pizza and they are very well known for having one of the best pizzas in town. With fresh ingredients, their food is just amazing. You will enjoy it as much as me. If you love, hookah, they have hookah service and you can enjoy it in the big patio they have. If you're looking for something more quiet, they have an indoor dining room and you can see there's always a students here doing homework or research and enjoying their hookah. They are located on I 10 and Wurzbach, and they have a large parking lot, you will also find in the same location a very popular Mediterranean market call Alibaba where you can find all kind of Mediterranean food and ingredients I hope you enjoy Naara as much as I do.

We had such a great experience at this Iraqi café! The waitress was incredibly friendly,…read moreaccommodating, and helpful. I really wanted to try a dish that people in Iraq traditionally eat, and she recommended the Kabob Al Anbar. She explained that they get their seasoning from Iraq. She also mentioned that they ship something from there, although I wasn't completely sure whether she meant the meat or the seasoning, so I don't want to misstate it. Either way, the flavors were definitely something I was excited to try. Since there were nine of us, she recommended the mixed plate so we could sample different kabobs, including the chicken tikki and lamb kabob. Of course, we had to try it! It was a great way for everyone to taste a variety of dishes. My favorite was the kabob al anbar. This is a must try along with the falafel! I also tried the Iraqi tea, which reminded me of chai but had a stronger cardamom flavor. It was delicious and a nice way to finish the meal. Overall, we really appreciated how welcoming and helpful the waitress was. She made our experience even better and helped us explore some authentic Iraqi flavors. Definitely a place I'd be happy to visit again!

Specially the falafel and the knefeh at the end. The owner is so friendly! And so talkative! The waitress is super sweet and very attentive I decided to take my family for the shisha and food. Everything was going ok... the second time the food wasn't as good as the first time. We had the same waitress until it was time for her to go home. After she left nobody ever came to check on us. I had to go flag them to come fix the charcoal to order more drinks. Came the time to check out I went and paid and as usual I do not look at the receipt. I added 20 percent tip and left. In the car my mom asked me about the bill I told her approximately how much it was. She right away told me there is a mistake and I need to go back in and tell them. I did! Turned out they added a 20 percent service charge. Mind you we were only 4! And no where is written that they have a service charge for certain amount of people. The guy at the register wasn't so friendly about it and kept on blaming it on the precious waitress. Yes the owner came and she reversed the charges but it left me with a not so good feeling. I don't know if I will return

Is this the best restaurant in San Antonio?…read more I think so, and you'll probably be asking yourself that after trying it, too. Whatever you order - trust that it's made with more love than anything you've eaten in months. The lamb shank with prunes is nothing short of incredible. The hot jasmine tea: superb. The desserts: mind. Blowing. Every dish and every dessert is incredible and a joy to eat. Warm, welcoming, and the ladies that run it always treat you like family. If you haven't yet, come here and try it all. You can thank me later.

I'm always looking for healthier food options and decided to finally check out this spot!…read more I loved how fresh, colorful, and clean their ingredients were and making my own bowl as macro-friendly as possible while not compromising on flavor is a dream come true. The pricing is pretty fair at $14.95 for a BYO considering they have over 40 (yes, I counted) options across their rice, salad, topping, dip and finishing sauce options. Definitely recommend for a quick dinner or lunch and also the inside is so pretty. Perfect for photos lol. And the staff is very sweet! Proteins need to be HOTTER in my opinion but that's my preference not a deal breaker

I think it may have been some of the cucumber. I loved the portions I was served.

I'd definitely go back to try the other proteins and mix ins.

You have a choice of sitting inside at either a table or couch setting. You can also sit outside on their patio which looked really cool. I sat inside and being my first time patroning I felt the service could have been a little friendlier and helpful. Thankfully the people who I sat next to were super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me. I love the decor! The lighting and couch/benches gives it just a kiss of Mediterranean feel. For food, I tried the gyro plate and it was really good. For drink I had a hibiscus raspberry hot tea. For hookah I think it was a combo of flavors. It was nice and I was really intrigued with the process and the coals. This place is open late nights so it's a good hangout place and it's quiet enough for studying or homework. I think I'll definitely return especially for the tea and hummus.

I walk in to see a group sitting at the bar ordering food and watching the Super Bowl. All Ethiopian! It was so heart warming to see them enjoying their time eating and drinking.
