Went here for the first time tonight, 3 of us we asked a lot of questions all the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to answer questions and help us order food. They let us sample some things and even made me some of their hot tea. It was not on the menu but he made me a cup, the food was delicious (and the tea) They have a lot to choose from and servings are large good to order different things and share! Definitely coming back with more family so we can try the other dishes. read more

WOAH! What a happy accident! My husband and I had never tried Afghani food and it was an incredibly pleasant surprise !!! We had three main dishes mantu , ashak and bolani. They were all such familiar flavors but the spices we so different then my Armenian Heritage. It was incredibly delicious and authentic. The restaurant itself is a cute small space that is family owned. You can tell they are really passionate about their ethic foods and I think that comes across clearly in the cooking. It was a fantastic experience and they have van had my favorite Armenian yogurt drink (tan). The mantu- they are little dumplings with ground meat inside, topped with a yogurt sauce among with many other traditional spices and garbanzo beans. Ashak- is another forum of dumplings that is stuffed with scallions and topped with a yogurt sauce and meat topping. Bolani- WOW first of all its huge !!! Very big portion but it's something that you definitely want leftovers of because it's delicious! This is a flattened potato patty that is made with spices and served with two dipping sauces (yogurt and a spicy green sauce). Overall this is a great place to try something new and tasty! I would recommend this place! read more

I was prepared to overlook the 20 minute late delivery, but my Jumbo Gyro was missing, and that was the main reason I ordered in the first place. They are still open as I write this, but they decided not to send the gyro. Just a refund. The food was also insecurely packed in sideways styrofoam clamshells that caused some of it to tumble out into the bag. This was my first and will be my last purchase. read more

Where to even begin? I'm staring at the dry, microwaved food as I type this review. I ordered a chicken kabob plate and chicken kubideh plate for delivery. Upon opening the box I could immediately tell something was seriously wrong. The chicken looked dried out and had the taste and texture of rubber, microwaved chicken that has probably been sitting out all day. It's one thing to serve your customers bad food, but if you can visually see that the food is not RIGHT, don't you stop and think? It baffles my mind how they could give such terrible, old food. The rice was severely under seasoned, and the pita bread was not heated before being put in the to go box. I can't understand how this place has 4.5 stars... I'm pretty sure dining in would give you fresher food, but since I got it delivered through postmates, they served me yesterday's trash. Avoid this establishment at all costs. read more

Perfection. I had the combination chicken and beef halal dish. The plate was enormous, so I had plenty left overs for later. The plate came with rice, hummus, salad and bread. It doesn't get any better! read more

I found this place while searching for a halal place to eat at with my friends, and boy does this place scream VARIETY!!! I ordered the King Burger, which had halal burger meat, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, swiss cheese, crispy onions, and the best part...a sunny side up egg! It was delishhhh! The Greek fries were to dieeee for. It was french fries topped with gyro meat, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, onions and parsley. My friends got gyros and they were very satisfied with them. Let's not forget the customer service! The lady in the front was extremely friendly and patient the entire time (we probably spent about 15 minutes asking her questions about everything on the menu). I usually don't give yelp reviews but I'm still ecstatic I found my new go to place. read more

So this is my 3rd time ordering from here, the 1st time I found a long hair on the top of my rice but I let it slide bc it was decent amount of food for the price and I just scooped out that rice and ate the rest. But today they really annoyed me so here it goes. This review is for my experience tonight 8/8/19. Was in the area and was craving beef koobideh and didn't want to go to my usual place on Ventura so decided to order it through yelp again. Time for pick was eta 8:29 arrived around 8:25 literally only 1 other couple in there I'm guessing they had already ordered but I stood at the register for 10 WHOLE MINUTES yes I timed it before anyone even acknowledged I was there. They had a bell there didn't want to ring it but after a few mins decided enough was enough and rung it and still nothing. A lady that was washing dishes in the back (there's a window you can see them) walked to the fridge looked over at me and proceeded to do what she was doing. OK rude much but whatever, finally a lady with short blonde hair pointed at me and I'm assuming said one moment. Sat down no one else even bothered to come in so they can't say they were having a dinner rush or were close to closing if they close at 10pm. Finally comes out after 12 mins and whispers something so I tell her "pick up for *insert my name*" she just looks at me with a bag in her hand of food. She says "no *mumbling something* order" so I tell her it was a beef koobideh with rice and I ordered through yelp. She says "no yelp here" so I repeat myself and she looks at a tablet and says "yours". So I take the food and the bag is covered in grease I mean COVERED. So gross. I was so over it at this point that I just walk out and here I am sitting in my car in front of the restaurant haven't even looked at the food writing this review. I get it these Middle Eastern places usually aren't that welcoming especially to "foreigners" but business is business lady and you literally mumbled your entire encounter with me and made me feel stupid if I'm literally just saying my order to you after being ignored for over 10 mins. Most likely this is my last time coming here since this encounter rubbed me the wrong way and it's out of my way. Let us pray the food is worth the $14 I paid for and there's not hair in there this time and that I can open that grease trap. If you don't want online orders than it's simple DISCONNECT the service and don't offer it. Imagine if I would've walked in to place my order I still would've been waiting. read more

This place was pretty awesome. You're given great portions for a good price. We got the kobida beef plate and pita. The plate was really good and the rice was some of the best I ever had. The beef itself was juicy and tender and I enjoyed every bite! I do wish the portions were a bit bigger, but it's great value for the money! read more

Great food, nice atmosphere. Does get busy doing certain times, but nothing crazy. Plenty of parking on the plaza

This is just for the service today. The food has been solid but this is review is just for the service. I called in a sandwich order and was told ten minutes. Get to the place in 15. It definitely wasnt even made. Now been here 25 mins. So yeah, that's my experience. So I guess, dont bother calling in an order. read more

Loved the generous portion size and food tastes pretty authentic and good. This is a no frills, solid, middle eastern joint.

I needed enough stuffed grape leaves to feed 25 people and Halal Kitchen Cafe came to my rescue! Everything was packed for easy transportation with a pretty layout for immediate serving. The food was delicious. Service was friendly. Prices were reasonable. I would count on them again. read more

Food is AMAZING but the experience of making a catering order was absolutely horrible. We called and walked-in in person for weeks but couldn't get any kind of answers or a price quote because the guy's mom wasn't there. Finally got a call back from her and we were given a quote for our order. We called back later to increase our order and accepted an increased price as well. The day of our party we had a family member pick up our order and she charged a less amount and then we were harassed all day NOT about the difference but that we owe MORE than what was agreed to because his "mom doesn't know how to work the register" After some back and forth he apologies for the inconvenience and says don't worry about the money and just please return the warmers. Our family member returns the warmers and shakes his hand but we soon got a call from his mom saying we owe extra money (more than original quote), that she was cooking since 6am & that so and so family member is sick. We talk to the son again and he stays firm on the "my mom doesn't know how to work the register" excuse, and haggled us to pay the difference + extra. We even spoke to him earlier this week to make sure everything was all set with our order but he says he never saw our bill when he said all was good. I'm not sure how his mom not knowing how to use the register and his inability to look at our bill are our fault. I was HAPPY to pay the difference of what was agreed upon multiple times before our party, but to be pressured to pay extra because they decided they didn't charge enough is absolutely unacceptable. Get your catering orders in writing. read more

I decided to give this place a chance after 6 months of avoiding it. Not only did my food take an extra 30 minutes to make (total of almost 50 minutes since I ordered) the employee never once wore a mask during entire process of making and handing the food off. read more

The wait for the food was longer than a counter service location might suggest, but the mantu was worth the wait. In short, at $13 it was divine, and would easily command as much as twice its price at a full service restaurant. Maybe best to order ahead and pick up once you arrive. Good thing definitely come to those who wait. Next time I'll try the Ashak. read more

Got me the chicken kobida plate! Bomb diggity delicious! Flavorful and juicy kabobs! The bald dude was very kind and served very well! Must place to eat!!!!! read more

Let me start by saying the food is good. They're new to town, and I want them to succeed. But... They're rude. The service is terrible and communicating with them on the phone or in person is painful. I waited until our 8th visit to write this review... hoping they'd get better, and hopefully this review helps. Please be courteous. Please greet your guests when they enter. My wife and I have each gone in multiple times and been treated poorly. Their wait times are always wrong. They say 20 minutes, and it takes 40. Then they're rude when you ask for an update after it's been 40 minutes. Again - the food is great. They just need to be courteous and kind. read more

Placed a catering order for 20 people at 11Am now time for pick up the same person order was placed with is denying ever taking the order. That's some horrible I mean horrible service. Just like majority of yelp reviews for Afghan or Paki places majority of reviews are fake posted by friends. Will never go off yelp for Afghan restaurants again. They lost out on $300 + order and future orders. read more

Terrible place and the lady that runs it is so rude. Don't waste your money here!! Food was gross and cold I never have left with so much disappointment read more

The best thing to order here is the bolani! The dough is lightly fried and not too thick. The ladies are nice here too and the place is clean. We'll be back! read more

We were 2:0 last Saturday. My friends and I decided to embark on a culinary adventure with a drive from Santa Monica to Northridge to try Afghani food. We drove out last Saturday 8/3 and arrived hungry at 12 noon. Only we found you closed. Your website indicated you were open. There was no sign on the front door telling us otherwise. I just wanted to let you know that we tried to eat there, drove quite a ways and were very disappointed to not try your food! From here, we tried to go to he Afghan Kebab place in Beverly Hills, which also had great reviews...and found them closed too! Very disappointed. Please be sure to keep your website up to date to let customers know when you are closed. We made a long trek there and were extremely disappointed to find you closed. read more

I have no words for the experience I had at this restaurant, with a heavy heart i give this review... because I don't enjoy giving one stars but they left me no choice. We had called the restaurant ahead of time to order the food but the phone call had to be the most stressful thing i've ever gone through. The lady who we spoke to sounded very aggressive and rushed, we kept saying what we wanted to order and she would not understand what we were saying and she would hang up randomly. We called back and she was not paying attention and started talking to someone else. So we just decided that we'd go there and order because the phone call was terrible. Upon arriving the lady was on the only one working there and ordering was very tough once again. The wait time was said to be 15 minutes but we waited there for OVER AN HOUR for food for three people... like bro i wasn't even hungry any more by the time we got the food. It was truly a distasteful experience, customers should not have to go through such a journey just to order some food. Lastly, the food was eh and was SMOTHERED in white sauce and i had to scrape it off... Sorry but i'm not sorry. Ciao :( read more

I was at work, one of my colleague introduce this food today. The food was so good that I ordered second time the same day to take home. Not only that, the person was taking order was great. They have best service as well. If you want real food please go to that place ... the food was just awesome..... read more

the food here is so good and the lady working there is so nice! the food is always fresh and delicious. super accommodating with requests. we love coming here! highly recommend the chicken afghani and the chapli kebab and the gyro! the whole menu is delicious a great small business to support read more

Cute little spot with lots of potential. Went on a Saturday. The Afghani chicken was awesome, but the rice tasted like it was made the night before. Service needed much help. No welcome smile or attitude...not a very welcoming annoyance for a first timer. The Aashak was just ok, nothing to write home about. read more

I came from Sam Francisco California and I was staying in Hollywood. I drove 1/2 hour each way to pick up some food that I ordered for over $60 dollars. The bolani smelled really bad. The mantu meat was rotten. The ashak leaks were old and slimy. The qabili palo meat was not cooked and the rice was hard. I called to complain to the Owner and the older lady who was back there cooking hanged up on me. The Customer service was extremely horrible and the food was not eatable. Unacceptable in every level. read more

Best gyros! They don't skimp on the sauce and they don't cut their meat into little pieces like other places.

Food tastes fine. But no matter what you order when you order or how long it's been since you placed the order. They start the order when you get there. So just because of the inconvenience I am giving them one star. I hope the management reads this and makes sure to take orders seriously. read more

Amazing food. Friendly staff. I love Mix Kobida Plate and Bolani. Next time I will try different food they offering.

Again I placed an order via yelp/grubhub and when I get here to pick up my order they're closed although it's within their posted open hours. They need to update the hours to prevent hungry customers from ordering. Lesson: order via phone call for all future gyro cravings. Side note: I believe The friendly girl that used to always be here is no longer working. read more

I think the good reviews were from the old owner. New owners are not professional at the restuarant business. The food I got it wasn't good. I was expecting food that better than my cooking. I suggest that they change the menu to something else. I don't like the food it doesn't taste like quality food. read more

Excellent food, tried their "King Burger" which has sunny side up egg and crispy onion strings as specials in it. Reasonably priced. Service was excellent as well - the ladies serving us and at the counter were quite warm and welcoming, often engaging with their customers as well as taking feedback of the food. Rating 5 stars for the experience. Would definitely visit again to explore more of what they have to offer. read more

Halal Kitchen Cafe - King Burger with sunny side up egg , crispy onion strings and swiss cheese. Loved it! - Halal Near Me - Northridge, California

Was craving some Middle Eastern food and found out a new place that opened. I have to rave about the special burger they make here. It is seriously something that everyone should try at least one if you are a self professed burger lover. It is unique and I can't say that I have had anything like this elsewhere. I don't even know what the name of it is nor did I see a picture as they were working on revamping their pictures and menu's. I got also the Afgani Chicken Plate and asked for no raisins because I am not too huge on raisins. I was surprised at how good the rice was, but was a little disappointed in the chicken as it was a bit dry and there could have been a bit more. Definitely +1 for actually having some spicy house sauces as I will always respect a place that can put something out with a slight kick. read more
