Came here cause Yelp recommended and it was a good choice. Other reviews say the wait was horrible. I didn't experience that. I came at lunch time. We ordered and waited a short time and got our fresh prepared food. The spices were great and the bread was made piping hot. Make sure you ask for the green sauce. It very spicy and good on everything. The staff was very friendly and offered great explanations of items that I didn't know. For a first timer they made recommendations and I was happy to accept. I would and will eat here again. I would recommend this place to an that likes the style of food. Greta job read more

We came to Express Kabob after the restaurant we were going to was closed. I am so glad. This is my new favorite place!! We both had the chicken kabob combo. The chicken is tender and flavorful. The qabuli rice was amazing as were the sides. The Nana and dip was fabulous. Service is was friendly and top notch. They were very helpful with my food allergies as well. We will be back many times. read more

I liked this place so much more than I thought I would. Their salmon kabobs are incredible. Highly recommend!

Authentic Afghan cuisine officially has a home in Plano, TX. As a Canadian that grew up eating from various Afghan restaurants in the GTA area, I never had good Afghan food in America (outside Virginia). Today, that story changed forever. The Chapli Kabob here is to die for. The rice is True Kabuli. The sauces are rich and authentic. The ambiance of this place is fresh and the staff gives personal attention to each guest. Eat out with the touch of Eastern hospitality in the Western hemisphere. I kid you not. read more

. This is a true Afghan place that Dallas had been missing! We loved the Chaply kabob! and the green chutney was so good! We also had lamb chops and Ribeye beef kabob both were really good and cooked well. Chicken kabob was alright nothing special. They no longer have beef kebabs, only ribeye is your option read more

Great Afghani food! I went for Iftar and they had an excellent buffet which included many different kabobs such as Chapli Kabob, Chicken Kabob, and Koobideh Kabob. It also had a very tasty lamb dish and the Kabuli Pulao rice with raisins went really well with the meats. Will definitely go back. Atmosphere felt clean and tidy. read more

Amazing authentic afghan food. Always cooked fresh to order. Great service. Must try the chapli kebab read more

OK, people... listen up! As you are aware, I don't write many of these so if I'm putting down words, you know this going to be a place worth visiting. First of all, I mean... come on. Kabobs, people. That alone should get you moving. But these aren't average. No, sir. These are the real deal. They've got all the meats and veg you expect (spicy ribeye--thank me later) but they've also got some other wonderful looking Afghani specialties. I might try the Mantu next time--looks wonderful. Good rice, good hummus, all that. But the star (besides the actual kabobs) is the green chutni. It's magic--very reminiscent of a chimichurri but with a twist. Pour that stuff over everything! Best of all the proprietors are both very friendly and passionate about their product. Alright, enough words. Go eat. read more

I had the 1/4 burger and it was way above my expectations. I've never had a burger like this, it was the most juiciest and the most flavorful burger I've had in my life!!! The restaurant itself looked clean and so did the bathrooms. Shoutout to the people working there Bc the person that took our order was super polite, and the cook I believe recommended us the aloo paratha and it was amazing as well I would definitely come back again read more

Agree with another Yelper's observation about portion sizes--the kabobs here are smaller than other places, but I find they are jumbo-packed with flavor. I do wish their menu offered kabobs a la carte so that I can try out all the variety they offer. It's not easy to submit a custom order because of this; caused a mix up during my visit that left me waiting on a veggie kabob order that never emerged. When I finally rectified this at the register, I ended up having to eat two meals in one sitting. Kinda awkward, but at least everything was very tasty! I highly recommend the lamb, tender and juicy, cooked to the right temperature and pairs well with the green sauce! read more

Express Kabob has one of the best kabobs in the Dallas metroplex area. The meats and chutneys here are amazing and flavorful. On top of that the service is fast and exceptional, hence the "Express". Would highly recommend giving this place a shot, makes for the perfect lunch break too! read more

My friends and I chose Express Kabab for a "ladies' night out" dinner!! Each of us had different entrees, all equally wonderful!! We also noted many people doing take out!! This restaurant offers great food and great "service with a smile" definitely requiring a return!!! read more

Amazing food..We had food here during iftiaar & it was amazing. We ordered the spicy chicken platter .It came with Kabuli Pulav,Naan & two sides. Special mention for Kabuli Pulav ,it was out of this world. The portions were huge. Soup & Fruit were complimentary. read more

The best kabobs and naan I have ever had! 10/10 recommend! Came in town for a visit and glad we stopped by this amazing shop!

We found this place by accident on a rainy night. The ambiance was ok, it's a self service restaurant. We ordered rice with koobideh and the chicken kabob with side of hummus and fries. The quantity was acceptable, the pita was fresh and the both the kabob and chicken were very good and well seasoned. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant. I really enjoyed the chapli kebab!

Was just passing by this place and Wow was I glad I stopped in. Everything we had was terrific. The hummus, the bread chutney made the protein taste better. The rice and the rice with raisins and carrots were delicious. Loved the lamb, chicken and the seasoned ground beef all were very tasty. Also a great price performer. Lots of good food for the money. read more

YASSSS! We found it! Authentic Afghan cuisine in a beautiful clean and friendly environment! The mantu, chapli kabob, and bolani were delicious, as well as the eggplant, but the best was the kabuli paloa with the lamb marinated to perfection, falling off the bone. The owners are so friendly and accommodating and the entire experience was great! Will be back very soon! read more

Authentic Afghani food with super nice owner !... i wish this place was close to our home..but anyway will still be visiting this place quite lot.. oh man again craving for that afghani pulaoo.. read more

This place is OK. First I will mention the good. Their kabobs are good (be warned they are a lot spicer then middle eastern Kebab.) Their lamb shank, while not the best quality, is a really good value. And their special menu of Afghan items are in my opinion obligatory to order one or two things to get some unique variety that you may not see somewhere else. So Onto the bad. Ordering for dine in can be a slow process, which normally doesn't bother me, but it is ALWAYS slow even if you are the only person there. Their kebab combo (meat, two sides, bread and rice) is a horrible value. It's around $15 and they give you 5 tiny morsels of meat, a small tiny handful of fries (like seriously less then 10 pieces, less then a McDonald's happy meal) and a spoonful of vegetable or whatever side you want on top of a pound of rice. I know meat can be expensive but its about balance. If you want to give me 5 bite sized morsels of meat, give me a big ol scoop of sides instead of a measly order. If you don't want to give me a nice portion of sides then give two skewers of meat instead of one. Every other kebab place gives two skewers anyways for the same price. But when I get small portions of everything in a combo, I feel like I'm getting ripped off. Another small gripe is the Mantu dumplings and the eggplant dish (forgot the name off the top of my head) are drenched in sauce which makes everything soggy as hell. Especially the dumplings you pick them up and they just fall apart everywhere. The sauce is good but if your ordering those sides request sauce on the side since by the time you get home everything is soggy. Also the cashier girl is very standoffish, and when I wanted to place an order to go over the phone she said "give me a second" then just hung up on me. I called back and she laughed and said "we were busy that's why I hung up" so that kind of sealed the deal for me. I normally don't care about wait staff or cashiers, but when you mix in bad value, long wait times, and then rude employees on top of that then that makes you an establishment i don't want to return too. Your food is tasty, but it's not worth the negatives. I will continue to eat there if I want a lamb shank for lunch or Bolani or Mantu until I can find those items elsewhere or y'all step up your game. read more

Tried this place today for lunch and really enjoyed it. I ordered the ribeye beef kabob. They ask if you want it spicy and I said yes. It was so tender and tasty. My husband got the chicken kabob combo and enjoyed it very much. Will definitely be back. read more

Loved this place. The prices are really reasonable and the ingredients really fresh and tasty. We got the chicken and ribeye kebab combo. The spicy option adds a little kick! read more

Lol, there is nothing EXPRESS about this place. That being said, if you have a couple of hours, the food is EXCELLENT and worth the visit.

Drove 25 miles to get here and it was really worth it. The customer service was phenomenal and the food was exceptional. I had the lamb chops over kabuli rice and my sister had lamb Kabab over white rice. Both dishes really hit the spot and it's safe to say we'll be coming here again. Only slight complaint is that the potion size is a bit on the small size but it's still pretty flavorful and highly recommended! read more
