The owner of this restaurant is very rude, speaks disrespectfully, the food is not fresh, and the place is not hygienic.

Finding a place that doesn't compromise on traditional flavors can be a challenge, but Ghazni delivers a genuine experience from the moment you walk in. This isn't just a "kabob shop"; it's a showcase of Afghan culinary heritage.

Baklava

Instead of visiting this place, I order food delivery. I was disappointed that they were out of the one item, Qabuli Palaw, I truly wanted. Although I was informed after my order submission. I probably would have cancelled my entire order. So I substituted another dish. Overall the food was delivered hot, surprisingly I enjoyed the chicken korma which was the replacement dish more than the chicken shawarma plate. Within the plate, the salad and shornakhud were very nice. The cucumbers and cucumber sauce were refreshing. And the baklava, as small as this servicing was delightful with sweet sticky nutty flavor and texture.

Came here on a Monday evening around 6:30pm with a friend and was seated right away. Around 7:00pm, it started to get more crowded. Staff and Service: - It was a bit tough to track the staff down once we got our food - The staff was helpful when we did chat with them - Murgh Kabob: similar to a tandoori chicken type of dish on top of rice and with a side of salad. This dish is quite large with a ton of rice - Manti: tasty dumplings with sauce - shared this between two of us Miscellaneous: - Parking is quite difficult here. We ended up parking around the corner in front of residential houses. Looks like there was a parking lot but is fenced off?

Bolani Leeks

First time trying Afghani cuisine and it was a delight. Owner walked us through our options as vegan/vegetarian, and we were spoiled for choice. The bolani filling was tender and the flavors were bright and fresh. The butternut squash was spiced, warm, and the exact right texture and consistency. Beautiful interior, gorgeous and impeccably clean. Service was lovely, we felt very confident in our choices when guided through and left with a new appreciation for Afghani food.

Food was amazing! Very fresh and delicious. Order as follows: Samosa, Bolani Leeks Mantu Appetizers. Even though the last samosa had hair in it the waiter ensured to take it off our bill. The appetizers overall were extremely delicious. Service was good fast and efficient. Ambiance was amazing. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with Afghan art/pictures. The restaurant is extremely clean a lot of great lighting. Parking is on the street but plenty of it.

So I'm so tempted to give it 4 stars but the triple combo was just not it. The chicken and beef were delicious and the lamb was good but I was pretty surprised at the proportions, much less meat than I thought was worth the price. Fed and green sauces are delish, the mantu are pretty good too!

Shefali M.

great food, attentive service, and a homey vibe! We ordered the chicken kabobs, beef kabobs, and a mantu. All the kabobs are charbroiled to perfection and the mantu was so yummy as well. They serve free bread which you can dip with both the red and green sauces on the table. I do like the red/green sauces at other afghan places better, but this was still good. I would come again!

The restaurant isn't much to look at from the outside but the food is worth a stop if you're in the area. The decor and seating fixtures inside the restaurant are also somewhat dated so think of this place as a lunch spot with friends / colleagues and not a place with a "date-night" atmosphere. The chicken korma ($13.95) was good with a nice balance of spices and richness from the curry. The rice was prepared well and served as the perfect compliment to this dish. The Murgh Kabobs ($15.95) were a bit overdone to my liking but my wife, who ordered them, prefers a well-done style steak so she quite enjoyed the thorough cook on these pieces of chicken. The value for price paid on this dish is a bit off. I expected more than what I assume is a single skewer of chicken (4oz?) over rice and a small side salad. So we may order something else if we visit again. Soft drinks are served in cans, not through a fountain machine. We didn't order dessert but they looked to have had an interesting selection in their freezer by the front. Service is fairly fast with minimal contact. You order via a QR code at the table and your food is delivered to you when it's ready.

Delicious! Home-y feeling to the restaurant. Prices can be a bit more expensive; however the taste is amazing. They are not holding back on flavor town. I will be coming back! Disclaimer that the plain yogurt drink is a saltier version. I'm sure there are sweet ones you can order directly.

Aush, Murgh Kabob
Sabrina M.

I found what I ordered (aush a type of soup and the murgh kabob) to be really good. Honestly, I read some reviews about the value, but I feel like the amount of meat on the plate isn't too small. Plus, with both the soup and the entree, I was able to split this into two meals because I couldn't finish in one sitting. That's value especially for a university student haha. The aush soup is interesting. It didn't look too much like the pictures I found online but it was quite good still. My friend remarked, like noodles in a tomato-ey chili. We also received a little sauce or dip. I don't have a picture nor do I really know what it was (forgive me) but it had chickpeas in it and was light green... that was good too. Though we didn't know if we were eating it right. Overall, the ambience is what it is, but I think I'll return for the takeout.

Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!

After shopping, for lunch I decided to eat at Adrienne's Wild Wings. I'm a sucker for wings, but I've never been to Adrienne's Wild Wings before. I asked the cashier what sauce she would recommend. She stated one of the sauces she liked was honey garlic. I ordered 10-piece combo that included ten wings, side order, and dessert. For the side order I choose tater tats while for the dessert I selected cheesecake. The 10-piece combo comes with two sauces. I choose honey butter, which is the dry rub, and honey garlic. I believe sauces should be used for flavoring not hiding. What do I mean by that? I've noticed sometimes sauces mask how dry the meat is. I decided to taste the honey butter first to see how moist the meat is inside. After taking a bite two things came to mind. First I couldn't taste the honey butter. Second the meat was moist. I tried the honey garlic. The cashier said the honey garlic was spicy. However I felt the honey garlic was spicy at all. Yet the honey garlic sauce was very flavorful. What did I like more the honey butter or honey garlic? I say this was toss up as I can taste more of the meat from the honey butter, yet I can enjoy the sauce of the honey garlic. The tater tots were disappointing as they were bland. The cheesecake was light. I don't shop at Southland Mall often. If I go back Southland Mall and become hungry for lunch I can see myself going back to Adrienne's Wild Wings.

Figured it was worth a try. On my first visit, the posted opening hours were from 12:00-10:00, but nobody was at the restaurant manning the window or the counter when I arrived. Second visit happened to be later in the afternoon, about 2pm. I got two slices of pizza, pepperoni and mushroom. Their slices are the New York style, although the crust is a bit more dense than traditional NY style, but I liked the flavor enough to overlook that. The price is quite reasonable too. They also advertise smashburgers on their signage, so I didn't feel like it would be proper to not also get one of those as well on my third visit. I just ordered online and took it to-go, but I had the same problem with nobody really being at the window when I got there. Luckily someone must have seen me standing outside and told the person inside. The smashburger was decent, and the fries that came as a side were perfectly cooked - they are the battered homestyle fry variety, but not too greasy or oily. I think the food here is good, I just think the posted hours could use some clarity. The website says they are open at 12:00, but it's very rare to actually have them be fully open and ready to serve food at that time.

He likes heavy spice and some heat. My tastes run towards mildly spiced chicken curries. If you are considering Shahi Darbar based on Yelp reviews and photos, you will not be disappointed. There is ample parking in front as the restaurant is in a strip mall without a lot of evening traffic. Outside is brightly lit and inside, the dining area is large, so there is plenty of room between tables. Even though there were many people there and music overhead we could still hear each other and converse. There are tables and booths. It's clean and bright. Our server was attentive and friendly. The menu is extensive! It was hard to choose, but I ordered chicken tikka masala because I don't see it offered at too many other restaurants, not the way butter chicken is.. it was wonderful! The server asked our preferred spice levels and the kitchen delivered. Husband ordered palak paneer and loved that the spinach wasn't over creamed or over blended (he doesn't like when the spinach is no longer recognizable as spinach and the palak looks like green baby food - this is not the case here). The palak paneer was perfect. We had veg pakora as an appetizer. It was SO good. Since we were celebrating a birthday and had cake waiting at home, we took home a lot of leftovers, which made the next night's dinner at home pretty epic too. For such a nice place, the prices are reasonable. There is a full bar. I had my back to it and didn't see it until we were leaving. I'm not sure if it is open all the time or not. When we return, likely for our anniversary next month, I might order a drink. It was about a 25 minute drive for us, so we won't be able to make this our new go-to, but you can be sure we will return as soon and as often as the opportunity comes along again.
