    I went on a Wednesday night with 3 friends, and the place was pretty empty except for a group of elderly Middle Eastern men. Smooth jazz was playing (which I thought was a bit incongruous), and the ambiance was calm, well lit and brightly colored. The food was fabulous: I got the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao, and my friends got a variety of other dumplings, kabobs and platters. The meat was juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender, and the rice, carrots and sweet raisins were also well-seasoned and flavorful, instead of just being sides. Afterwards, they comped the two teas that we got, which was such a gracious move. This place is out of the way for me, but I would certainly go again!

    Mixed Afghan Kabab
    Danesh I.

    Afghan is one of my favorite cuisines and Dunya is where I come back to whenever I am craving kababs, bolani, mantu, or any of the amazing dishes they serve here. Despite having several solid options for Afghan in Queens, I will absolutely give this establishment the nod as the best of the best and go out of my way to eat here. The food is very well made and each bite from the beginning to the end is worth savoring. The pumpkin bolani is one of my most favorite items on the menu and I can never get enough, and their mantu is very filling and delicious. Their kababs are very flavorful, succulent and tender, and the Uzbeki Qabuli Palau is a must! The food is filling but I would definitely save room for dessert and Afghan tea! The ferni, rice pudding, and baklava are all very good and worth sharing. The service here is wonderful and the staff work hard to make sure customers are provided for; it's not a white table cloth experience so you have to do your part and be understanding of the pace of things considering it can get very busy for them with diners and delivery orders piling up constantly. The space is casual but welcoming and I appreciate the homage paid to the beautiful landscape and culture of Afghanistan with various murals and decorations. The land, people, and food of Afghanistan are very beautiful and it's a privilege to share in the love this establishment espouses.

    Despite some heightened tensions, this restaurant provides very good food. It might be better for takeout though, which is a shame because I think this a cuisine that tastes great to eat indoors. Everything tasted great. The lamb shank is amazing. The meat just falls off the bone, and is tender and delicious. It comes with rice and salad, but for a little extra you can get a Qabuli Pulao, a pilaf rice with sweet raisins and julienned carrots. Do that. It is terrific. You get plenty of it as well. I also got a Lentil soup that was generous and delicious as well. The side salad is par for the course. The heightened tensions came in the form of a misunderstanding. I told them I wanted to stay in but they packed it up like I wanted takeout. I insisted I wanted dine-in; they relented and took the bag and plated everything up nicely. Then they gave me some free bread as an apology for the mixup. The bread is nothing great, unfortunately. I will dock a point or so for lack of a free water option. I hate that. I should never have to pay for water in a sit down restaurant. It is tacky. Even if they do not, a complementary tea would work too. It just seems this restaurant favors takeout, which again, is a shame considering I liked the food. The staff were friendly as well despite the mishap. I cannot say whether I will be back, but I can say that the food is good and worth stopping in for if you want a hearty meal.

    Lentil Soup Mixed Vegeterian

    The vegetarian sampler is delicious. The rice is rich without feeling greasy. The eggplant is decadent, and the spinach is perfectly cooked. The okra is surprisingly flavorful. Without being spicy (hot) or overly salted, this is a meal that tastes as amazing as it smells. Eat here with kindly, attentive service, or order to go. This is mostly a meat restaurant, but it's still worth it for vegetarians. Oh, and leave some room for the rice pudding!

    I can't recommend Dunya enough if you're in or around Kensington. The mantu is a must, and if you have a group of at least 3-4, I recommend ordering multiple servings because everyone will gobble these dumplings up. They're so comforting and delicious, filled with ground beef and doused in lamb gravy and yogurt sauce (or you can get a vegetarian version). The Afghan salad, a refreshing lemony mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, is a great side dish to get your veggies in. For heftier entrees, it's impossible to go wrong with any of the kababs. I've had the salmon, the boneless chicken thigh, the boneless chicken breast, and the lamb. The meats are all perfectly seasoned and juicy. moist and juicy and flavorful meats, complemented by the rice and sweetness of carrots and raisins. I also recommend using a liberal amount of the sauces they provide. The cilantro chutney's my favorite, but the red sauce and yogurt sauce are also tasty. If you're in the mood for tea, $4 will yield a shareable teapot. I'm also partial to the doogh, a refreshing and savory yogurt drink. And on my most recent visit, our waiter was so nice and gave the four of us a complimentary firnee, a custard made with sweet milk, cinnamon, rose water, and cardamom. It was delicious, creamy with a gingery zing. Even though our bellies were full to the brim, we couldn't let this go to waste.

    Chicken thigh kabob dinner
    Patricia G.

    Nothing special, the food was cooked well but nothing was seasoned. I've never had a meal with no flavor. Even the rice was unseasoned. Looks like brown long grained basmati, did not come with carrots and raisins like the picture. The garden salad was super fresh with fresh tomatoes and crisp cucumbers with a nice dressing. The chicken thigh kebabs were kind of dry to be honest, not moist as raved about in other reviews and very underseasoned as well. The meal was not worth the price at all. There are so many other great restaurants in Kensington, Brooklyn, this is the most expensive for its south central Asian cuisine for which there is an abundance of restaurants being at least 4 directly across the street such as Pakistani Mashalla Restaurant, Gyro Cafe and Jalsa east Indian down the block. I grew up right around the corner and this is the 1st and last time I waste money there. Way too many tastier and reasonably priced eats over here. We even have a Tibetan restaurant.

    Tl;dr: What an exceptional meal! So much flavor and depth in the food. Dunya is certainly a restaurant that you should put high on your to-try list. Long Winded Version: Food: 10/5 The food is amazing. All the dishes bring bold flavors and pleasing hints of spices to your mouth for all your tastebuds to enjoy. Dunya really opened my eyes (and stomach) to how delicious and comforting Afghan food is. I've tried the lamb shank and definitely recommend this as a must have. The mixed meats plate is also solid. Location: 2.5/5 It's on the automotive services side of Coney Island. Less scenic, more industrial. But that's good. For me. I live close and love that I get to enjoy it. Alas, if you're commuting there, there's a bus but not much more. I'd opt to drive there if you're not in walking distance. In closing, the location is meh, but the journey is so well worth it. Atmosphere / Ambiance: 3.5/5 It's humble, chill and casual. No thrills would be the best short description but the restaurant is clean, bright and provides an atmosphere you can be relaxed in and enjoy some great food. Dress comfortable and enjoy breaking bread amongst peoples from varying ethnicities. Quality: 5/5 The food is fresh and delivered to the table nice and hot. You can taste the quality in the meats and sauces. Value: 5/5 A meal here won't break the bank. The portions are generous and you'll leave extremely satisfied. Special Shout Out to fellow Yelper!, foodie extraordinaire and just all around dope human being Danesh I. for treating my partner and I to dinner her. We ordered from here beforehand and it was amazing - dinning in and your company was even better!

    platter
    Morlene C.

    On this quiet stretch of urban sprawl that is Coney Island Avenue, tucked between tire shops and gas stations is this homey Afghan restaurant. It's filled at all hours of the day with families chowing down on hearty, delicious dishes made with soul and after both of my meals here I was already planning my next visit. I like to start my meal here with some bolani, a fried flatbread stuffed with pumpkin, leeks, or meat. They have an assorted platter filled with all of the above, and the exterior is crispy and goes really well with the yogurt sauce they offer on the side. Alternatively or as a complement to this dish it's nice to start with some of their thin skinned dumplings, called manti, which remind me of wontons except theirs are filled with ground lamb, beef, or chicken. Dumplings are present in so many different cuisines and as someone who grew up eating Chinese dumplings I love the familiarity and simultaneous newness of Afghan manti. For my main, I enjoy their salmon, cooked to perfection on a grill and arrives with a smoky char and impeccably cooked interior. It's served on a bed of their buttery, pillow Afghan rice (pulao), which has caramelized slivers of carrots and raisins, giving the rice a nice added sweetness. All the while I'm enjoying bites of their fresh salad, with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and aromatics. I also recommend their lentil soup, which is so soothing, full of flavor, and completely vegetarian. If you have a sweet tooth their firni is a rosewater rice pudding that doesn't feel too rich or heavy. The owner, Mo, is always on site and has so much passion for hospitality and telling a story through his food. Please support this local business so they can continue to host so many diners with love, care, and food that feels like home.

    Great Afghan restaurant! Brooklyn has some amazing food and it's only getting better. Dunya Kabab House has delicious food and generous portions; the people who work there are very polite and professional. The Afghan white sauce is amazing, wish they sold it by the bottle. The green sauce is delicious too and goes well with the kababs. I tried 1) The salmon kabab. Included nice large fish pieces and deliciously seasoned rice. 2) The Mantu dumplings, vegan option. It comes with lamb gravy but they also offer a vegan version. Tasty and filling. 3) A simple salad, but the white sauce really adds flavor. If you're tired of the same old salad, suggest trying it with their sauce. 4) Firnee for dessert. This sweet yet light custard with cinnamon, rose water and cardamom is one of my favorites. I've tried many different versions over the years and this has to be one of the best yet. It was very filling, I had it with some tea. I'm glad I chose this instead of the usual baklava, although I'm sure that's great too. I enjoyed the food so much that I called the restaurant to thank them! Giving a five star review is easy. Happy I found it, thanks to Yelp & the other reviewers here.

    So good!!!  Can't wait to have this again!

    I travelled from California to New York last week and went to Dunya Kabob House for some authentic Afghan Food. It is the most amazing afghan food I've had! We ordered a bunch of things from the menu to try like the Lamb Chop, Lamb Shank, Chabli Kabob, Kabli Palow, and Bulanee. The food was excellent!! The sauces on the side were tasty too. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. It's so clean on the inside and feels like home. The prices are reasonable with the perfect portions. And the service was outstanding!! We were able to meet the owner who was so genuine and nice. High quality food and high quality service! I can't wait to go to New York again to eat here. It will definitely be a stop I make every time I go :)

    Its the SAUCE!
    David E.

    Great spot! Worth the trip! Clean, inviting interior. Simple decor and nice art on wall. Kind and helpful server. Very interesting and wide ranging menu. Sides of sauces were fresh, flavorful and zesty. The salad was crisp, cold and ever so lightly dressed with herbs. Even the lemon I asked for to accompany my water was a generous portion of half a lemon, thinly sliced. Nice! Not wanting to miss out and not really knowing what I wanted I ordered the mixed kabob. Pieces of lamb, chicken and beef kefta. Wonderful meal. Just a bit on pricey side but worth it. Great spot to get to. Come out to Brooklyn!

All three surprisingly looked very similar (photos look almost identical as they had the same sauce drizzled with yogurt). The aushak has leeks inside while the mantu has beef. The beef was drier than we were used to and the aushak less flavorful with overpowering onion. The pumpkin was cooked in what looked like the same sauce as well but the baked bread it came with was good. They did offer complimentary chickpeas which were tastier however.

We got a four-top at the front of the place. The restaurant decor is pleasant. It's a bit dark inside, but welcoming. Our server was very friendly. We started by ordering three starters - Mantu Dumplings (described in the menu as: steamed dumplings w/ beef, onions, cilantro + spices, topped with garlic mint yogurt sauce and garnished with lamb gravy and yellow split peas), Borani Banjan (eggplant) and Bamia (okra, stewed with tomato and onion sauce). Each of the starters was great. I think my favorite was the dumpling, followed by the eggplant and then the okra. Although the okra dish was delicious, it seemed like the simplest one, and one I could make most easily at home. The server suggested we get an order of Afghan Naan to go with the starters. The Naan was "OK". I would call that the weak part of the meal. It was fairly flavorless and didn't really enhance the flavors of the starters. The three of us shared two entrees - Chicken Afghan Kabob and Salmon Kabob. Each comes with a large side of rice. We also ordered one Qabuli (a rice topping made of raisins and carrots, sautéed in a cardamom syrup). The Qabuli is an extra dollar. The server said he would put it on the side, which was an excellent suggestion, because the rice was flavorful on its own and the Qabuli on its own made an excellent, sweet side dish. The Kabobs were both very good. The chicken was moist and tender and nicely seasoned. But the salmon - oh my gosh - the salmon light, flaky texture melted in my mouth. I couldn't stop eating the salmon. The rice was flavorful and the texture consistent. Before serving the entree, the server brought over a small salad to share, which was refreshing - lettuce and tomato and cucumbers. We didn't order dessert. But the server comped us a Firnee (homemade custard), which was very good. We were so full we couldn't finish it (or most of the rice from the entrees). The portions here are a nice size. Bottled waters were $2 each. They were ice cold and a good value for a restaurant. Honestly, the prices here overall are very reasonable. The food is good and nice portion sizes.

Service: Staff were really friendly, but the service was quite slow considering we were the only ones ordering food at the time. I wouldn't come here if you're looking to grab a quick lunch to go.

    Delicious meal. Big fan of the mantu and lamb chops. And I liked the rice with the addaon…read moresweetness. Eggplant appetizer was good too. I do wish there was more protein in the mains. They are generous with the rice though. Really appreciated the dessert they gave us on the house. Milky and delicious!

    I went here for a group meal and I know this is a popular place but I was more than pleased with my…read moremeal. The meal was seamless from start to finish, the food, the service, the atmosphere was all great. Food came out quick and our waiter Kais took care of our group effotlessly. I really enjoyed my meal overall, I would say the apps and mains were both delicious but I would give an edge to the mains. The food: Borani Banjan- This was the highlight app for me with some freshly made Afghai Naan. Man this was so good and a must order. The eggplant was cooked perfectly. Bamia- This was like a stewed Okra and I loved this dish, the okra was cooked down but the flavor was so damn good. Mantu- This was a nice delicate dumpling, it was made well but because of the cumin I couldn't help think it reminded me of Tex Mex food. Aushuk- This was OK, it was kinda strange because there was this fermented flavor to it that kinda bothered me. Chicken Afghani Kabab- I am shocked to say this but the chicken was my favorite protein. It was perfection, it was perfectly juicy with a nice smokey outer char, this was amazing. Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao- This was a braised lamb shank and was no teeth required tender. It so incredibly delicate and so delicious. Salmon- Fat slabs of salmon cooked to perfection with a nice outer smokey char. So good. Lamb Kabab- This was fine but not as exciting as the above. The lamb was chewier than I was hoping but the flavor was nice. Beef Kofta- It was like a ground meat patty. It was ok, it was a bit chewy and a bit dry but it was alright. The two I want to try on my next visit is the shrimp and the lamb chops, can't wait for a second visit.
