    Came across this place last minute! Everything we ordered was delicious, flavorful, and clearly made with care, but the real highlight was the back patio, it's beautifully set up with a traditional cozy vibe that makes the whole experience feel special. Plus, the outdoor seating is dog-friendly. Definitely a hidden gem and I'll be coming back.

    This was my first time having Halal and this place absolutely blew my mind away. When we arrived, we were greeted and sat away by our amazing server. We opt in for the outdoor seating with this canal made inside the plaza and heaters placed all around. What we ordered: Sampler kabob (5/5): this came with chaplee, chicken and beef so you get a little bit of variety to try from. This dish was so delicious, all the ingredients were super fresh and goes well together. Bolani Potatoes: (4/5): was surprised by the huge portion size and was not expecting so much for an appetizer. Other wise, simply delicious and had this yogurt sauce to dip from, great flavor balance! Lamb Kabobs: (5/5): off the grill type of flavor, you can taste the char on each individual lamb chop. The meat was buttery and melts in your mouth, a must get if you ever come here. Overall this was such an amazing place to try middle eastern food for my first time. If you have never had, I would 100% recommend this place to be your first if you're in the area.

    Been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile and finally got the chance today. I always see lots of patrons and the waft of the barbecued meats is very tantalizing. Both hubby and I ordered the combo plates and the beef and chicken were both tender and well seasoned. It came with rice, naan, and salad. Everything was really good and the service was excellent. The outside dining area by the waters is so nice and enjoyable.

    Came here yesterday late afternoon for lunch. We were seated right away. Really cute Afghan traditional outdoor seating by the lake. The food was warm and fresh. Great customer service. We will definitely be back if In the area.

    I watched a IG video that featured this place, so it was immediately bookmarked. I didn't realize that it was in a small outdoor mall area. My best friend and I decided to sit down outside to enjoy the weather and also the pond. We ordered the potato bolani to start and both got the sampler kabob plate. It took a little while for the food to get to our table, but once it did we were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. The potato bolani was crispy on the outside with flavorful potato inside. The yogurt sauce along with the green hot sauce complimented the bolani very well. The sampler kabob platter allowed both of us to try differently prepared meats. It was all so delicious. I had enough leftover to have more the next day. Visit 786 Kabob House...like today! You won't regret it.

    My partner and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing he saw it on social media. Outside dining was a little more popular compared to sitting inside- this restaurant was beautifully decorated outside, with lovely traditional Afghan pillows. I found the food to be delicious and well-seasoned. My partner who is Afghan, wasn't too fond with the kababs as he found them a little dry and salty- he was also disappointed that our appetizer came in last- after we had finished our entrees. The service could've been a little better knowing they weren't too busy that day.

    Stopped here after visiting the neighboring museum. It looked like a fun Mediterranean restaurant to try. The kebabs were super flavorful! The chicken was some of the most tender I've had. Server was friendly and efficient. Nice outdoor area to lounge and listen to the waterfalls & fountains. Highly recommend!

    Sampler Kabob with shor nakhod, cucumber salad, and really hard bread...

    Finally gave this place a second go and did not disappoint! Also in my last review, the bread was hard and tough to eat. This time it was soft, so yay! Improvement! The meat is still well seasoned and flavorful. I got the combo while my fiancé got the sampler. Tried a bit of the Chaplee and while it does have spice to it, it's mild and not as spicy as other places like De Afghanan which works well for me! On top of it, Shor Nakhed is hard to find and they still have it and it's still delicious! So giving them the full five stars cause this place deserves it. Coming back again when I can!!

    Great views, flavorful chicken kabobs and very authentic tea. Really enjoyed our dine in here

    Beautiful ambiance and delicious food! My girlfriends and I had the perfect dinner here. It felt like a private dinner, it was intimate and the food was comforting. The chicken kabob, chaplee and lamb was moist, tender and juicy full of flavor! Oh and I loved their rose infused lemonade! It was so refreshing.

    I would get it five stars for Location! Beautiful and calming backdrop in Blackhawk! The food is decent, though lacking in flavor in my opinion. The mint chutney condiment is a must try and complements any of the dishes really well!

    Great food I love the area, it's nice taking a walk after your meal. Been here two times. Would come again

    Located by the pond of ducks and geese at Blackhawk Plaza is the most unexpected of eateries. 786 Kabob House offers a small menu of Afghani kabobs in a cafe setting with traditional red cushioned seating. We started with the Borani Kadu, a soft, sweet braised pumpkin wedge drizzled with yogurt and topped with dry mint. But the highlight item was the Sampler Kabob Plate, which came with chicken kabob, teka beef (tri-tip) kabob, and chaplee kabob (minced sirloin with chilies), along with seasoned brown basmati rice, naan (crusty Afghani flatbread), and Afghan salata (cucumbers, tomatoes, onion). Each of the kabobs was juicy and flavorful, but my favorite was definitely the chaplee kabob, which had a crispy texture on the outside and a spicy flavor throughout! Overall, the food at this restaurant was decent and rather unexpected for its location. The portion sizes were generous for the prices, though the service left something to be desired.

I appreciate they have a kiddo menu and also that they offer Haloumi Cheese as an option for their wraps/plates/bowls/sides. I ordered a Grilled Haloumi Cheese Bowl that was absolutely delicious. It came with a choice of arugula salad, tumeric rice, or 1/2 and 1/2. I chose the 1/2 and 1/2 ~ the bowl was accompanied also with fried eggplant, cucumbers, hummus, tahini sauce, and pomegranate molasses. My husband ordered a steak shawarma plate ~ the steak was cut perfectly for our kiddo to enjoy too! We also did a cold mezze side of hummus with pita. There is interior/exterior seating. Order at the register, food is delivered to you. The staff was incredibly accommodating on a busy weekend afternoon, and offered extra napkins/silverware/and ask for the hot sauce! Writing this, I can't believe we didn't try the falafel! But that leaves room for next time. Street parking can be found in front of restaurant and there is a lot in back of restaurant too. I would recommend patience when finding parking on Hartz Ave :) The food was very fresh, hearty portions, came hot and in great timing, fair pricing, and a nice array of meat/veg options. Intrigued to also check out their Oakland location too.

    Review is for Doordash order:…read more Falafel Boy is a restaurant we seem to order on a weekly basis. The simple reason is that our 5yo son is an extremely picky eater, and for some reason he is a huge fan of the Kid's Chicken and Rice bowl. The rice is Turmeric rice, and completely yellow and seasoned. Chicken is boneless and seasoned but usually on the dry side. Doesn't matter / our son has been known to finish half to all of a bowl by himself for lunch. Recently we've been getting double orders to have a backup dinner option. As for the adults, I occasionally enjoy their lamb kabobs and Chicken Shawarma, while the wife is a fan of the Shrimp Kabobs. The combo plates are a complete meal since you get hummus, pita bread, and a small side salad. Definitely one of our go-to favorites for a quick lunch we know our son will enjoy.

Just stepping in lifts your spirit and creates joy. The thoughtful decor and beautiful design immediately stand out, creating a special atmosphere, even if you are simply meeting friends for lunch on a weekday. I never expected to find such a stunning restaurant tucked into a shopping strip in the heart of San Ramon. One Hour Bistro is truly a delightfull find. The same attention to detail reflected in the decor is also evident in the quality of the ingredients and the incredible flavors of each dish. Crystal glasses in a Thai restaurant? YES! They also offer mocktails which I wish I had time to try and savor. I ordered the Kao Soi Braised Short Ribs, and it was absolutely stunning; beautifully presented, generously portioned, and deeply comforting. The rich broth, tender bone-in ribs, and flavorful noodles made every bite memorable. I couldn't even finish the entire dish because I wanted to savore it slowly. The Pad See Ew was a silky, heavenly treat. The rice noodles were succulent, the vegetables were fresh, and everything was coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. If your driving through San Ramon, this is a MUST try. If you live in the area, lucky you!

It's a huge plate of food and he always brings home half. I tried their vegetable plate today for the first time. I thought the flavoring of the different dips were just okay. The eggplant dip was too sour. In order to make everything work, I highly suggest you save the red sweet pepper dip and mix it with everything else. I enjoyed the two falafels because they were hot, very light and crispy. The dolmas were sour. Overall, I felt like I was eating a lot of baby food. It's difficult to take home dip so I just ate it all which is a lot of food. I enjoyed the chickpea salad. It was one of the three items that was not a dip. The dips went well with their pita.
