Chicken plate
Brookie B.

How have I never been here, before?! WOW! I ordered the chicken wrap and it might just be the BEST wrap I have ever had. Ultra thin lavash bread, loaded with tender juicy chicken, pickles, spicy peppers, and so much flavor. My husband got the plate and it looked amazing as well. We will be back soon!

I came here after a Sunday noon swim workout craving middle eastern food. The place is located in a small strip mall across from Folsom town hall. When I heard they are an Afghani restaurant I was excited because I love the flavor and seasoning of Afghani food. I got the Combo Kabob with lamb and chicken. They were perfectly prepared and tender and complimented well with the fresh salad, humus and side sauces. I also loved the baklava which was small sized but very moist and satisfying. The server was very friendly and explained they are constructing an oven to prepare their bread in the future. I will return soon!

Afghani wrap

This has become one of my lunchtime go-tos. Really excellent fresh tasting food made with care. I love their wraps with grilled meat or falafel and their tasty sauces which you can get in mild, medium or spicy. Wraps are made with thin lavash flatbread, which is hard to find around here. The lavash tastes fresh and the wrap is given a nice grilling before it is served. Their Afghani wrap has french fries in it too, which is a great complement to the meat, sauce and veggies.

Hummus, lamb kabob, grilled chicken, salad and rice

I got the combo dish to go and ended up being too hungry so decided to eat it there! The grilled chicken was really good and the lamb kabob as well. I asked for the garlic sauce which was to die for and the hot house they make In house is also delish. Everything is fresh and the hummus that comes with the plate is good as well. I didn't care for the bread but overall everything else was really good.

I serendipitously came across this restaurant by chance. I ordered the combo kabob dinner and it was so delicious!! Definitely a 5 star food offering. The humus was fresh, the rice and salad was perfect. The lamb was super tender and the chicken was juicy. It's my understanding that the restaurant has only been open for a year and was previously a food truck. Service was also great. Regarding, the ambiance, the restaurant is going through some remodeling and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of this transition. Thank you.

Our lunch was absolutely scrumptious! We will definitely be back! The hummus, spicy sauce and the garlic sauce was so flavorful!

8. Chicken Kabob Plate

Excellent food and service especially if you are craving authentic food. A must stop when in Folsom!

Chicken Gyro plate + lamb kabob plate

I get gas at the station just across the street where this spot is. After reading Yelp reviews we were not walking, but running there! It was a quiet week day evening; we were quickly helped. Owner did let us know it would be about 15-20 minutes because of the kabob and everything is made to order. We definitely don't mind time for quality! When he brought out the plate, I swear we might've both drooled a bit just from the aroma. The flavors of the meat, rice, hummus, fresh salad + light olive/vinegar oil dressing was just such a lovely taste bud experience! We also tried a few different kinds of baklavas + Turkish Delights to top it all off. This place will be frequented by us!

Beef 1. Afghani Wrap
Ayman D.

So delicious! Loved the food so much here, the afghan wrap was the best i've had, both chicken and beef are delicious. the plate was also really good, hummus was fresh, rice was yummy, and chicken was cooked to perfection, and lamb had no bad smell like some restaurants do. Service was also bit slow (came with 9 people so had large order) but still the owner was nice and service was very good, he came and asked multiple times if he could get us anything. Store is tucked away from central folsom, near the library. I'm very confident it would be a very popular spot if more people knew about this place!

I had the combo over rice, which was absolutely delicious. The chicken was incredibly tender, while the lamb was juicy and full of flavor.

If you're in Folsom and haven't tried Burma Lite yet, you're seriously missing out…read more This place has become my go-to, and for good reason. The food is consistently amazing and packed with flavor. The tea leaf salad is a must. Super fresh, crunchy, and unlike anything else around here. The basil chili lamb brings the perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the eggplant is cooked perfectly every time. The sesame chicken is crispy and flavorful. It and the coconut rice balanced the spiciness of the lamb and eggplant perfectly. My wife likes to wash it down with a blue moon. I believe the traditional Burmese beer is similar. Everything I've had here has been solid, and you can tell they actually care about the quality of their food. If you're looking for something different from the usual spots in Folsom, definitely give Burma Lite a try. You won't regret it.

I tried the following: Tea Leaf Salad, Minted Jalapenos Chicken, Burmese Garlic Noodle (with…read moreChicken), and Burmese Indian Rice. The tea salad wasn't as flavorful as one I had elsewhere. I expected more mint flavor from a dish with mint in the name. All in all, no dish was bad, but was not really impressed by anything either. Service was good. Pretty good portions. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way for personally. However, with so many five stars reviews, definitely think you should give Burma Light a try if you're thinking about it!

Recently, we visited a restaurant to celebrate our son's birthday. We were joined by two of his…read morefriends--classmates, Americans. As an Uzbek family originally from Tashkent, we must admit, somewhat embarrassingly, that we had not visited this restaurant serving our native cuisine until now. And before coming here, I could never have imagined that what I would see and hear would truly amaze and delight me. This feeling came within the very first moments of entering the restaurant, where lively music was playing and the famous song "Uchkuduk" performed by the band "Yalla" was playing. Along with this, there was a large artistic wall panel on the right, beautifully painted, illustrating a caravan of camels traveling through a hot desert. On the left side, there was another artwork--a fresco depicting the entrance to a caravanserai, once a resting place for traders along the Great Silk Road in ancient Samarkand, a major trading hub of its time. What impressed me most was the central part of the hall's wall, where dozens of exquisite decorative items were neatly arranged--examples of Uzbekistan's national art, craftsmanship, and traditional design. These beautifully reflect our culture and heritage, known around the world. The elegant furniture, the uniquely designed ceiling, and, of course, the glossy, mirror-like epoxy floor all perfectly complement this incredible beauty. Honestly, one feels like saying that this is not a restaurant, but a museum, where for a moment I truly felt as if I were back home in Tashkent--so cozy, familiar, and close to the heart. Now, moving on to the main impressions of our visit, especially the genuine delight of our American friends with the unique and delicious dishes we ordered. Of course, there was the famous Uzbek plov, three types of juicy kebabs, salads, samsa, manty, and two kinds of tea. After the meal, fully enjoying the outstanding flavors, our guests sincerely admitted that they had never experienced anything like this anywhere before, and promised that this restaurant would become one of their favorite places to return to again and again with friends and family. The next day, each of us, while at work--including myself--felt absolutely no hunger until returning home. What a phenomenon! A true testament to the richness and satisfying nature of Uzbek cuisine--something not often found in many other dining places in Sacramento. For all of this, and especially for the incredibly beautiful interior design that reflects both the historical depth and modern spirit of Uzbekistan, creating the impression of a "small Uzbek enclave" within California's capital -- we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the management of "Caravan Uzbek Cuisine Halal" from our small family. We wish you and your wonderful staff good health above all, and continued success in earning the appreciation and love of both your loyal and new guests, contributing to the growth and prosperity of your business. And we, your new admirers, look forward to many more visits in the future to this truly beautiful and magnificent restaurant. Amen.
