I recently went to an Afghan restaurant in Astoria, and it reminded my of the very first time I had Afghan food. It was probably about 30+ years ago, here at Kabul Kebab House in Flushing! It was (and still is) one of the very few non-Chinese restaurants in the area. I used to walk past this restaurant all the time. You could see them grilling all sorts of kebabs by the window. People used to just stop and gaze into their window. The smell of those kebabs just made you drool! Well, I tried their food one day and I've been hooked ever since. Phenomenal food here!! I credit my love for Brown Basmati Rice to Kabul Kebab House, since I tried it for the first time there! They also have a sister restaurant in Westbury, Long Island. read more

So yummy! Definitely underrated. The chicken kebab is so good, the chicken is flavorful and brown rice was perfectly seasoned. They gave a fair amount of sauce and veggies. I ordered through the phone for pick up and the hostess was so friendly, I got my food within 20 minutes. The food was so good I ordered the next day and got a combo for 2, the chicken and kofta kebab. So delicious and I will 100% be returning!!! read more

I'll start by saying that I love everything about this restaurant. From the food, the general atmosphere, and the impeccable service. The owner and staff couldn't be nicer people. They care about their patrons and do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. The decor is simple and uncluttered. Just the right amount of art and adornments, without feeling suffocated. My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Not sure if I wrote a review on this place before, but if I have, goes to prove why this place is soooooo good that I have to come back to review again. I've been coming here since 2017 and this place NEVER fails me. Their portions are just right, their rice is always on point, the meat; tender and seasoned to perfection. Service is superb from the waiters to the cooks to the owner. The fact that you get your own white sauce, sumac and other spices to suffice your tastebuds is what really makes this place extra better; to me that is. This place will forever be my #1 recommendation for Afghani food. Nice vibe for you and your friends, family or a special someone. I wish I took a picture of my plate but I be so excited and hungry to eat, I decorate my plate with the seasonings and dig in, I forget to do so. Give this place a try and I promise it'll become your go to spot. read more

吃过一次，感觉有一点点贵，而且茶水有些苦， 可以体验，但我还在寻找刚符合自己的胃口的烤肉店，谢谢你们的努力工作，祝你们越来越好，找到属于你们的客户！ I've eaten it once, and it feels a little expensive, and the tea is a little bitter. I can experience it, but I'm still looking for a barbecue restaurant that just suits my appetite. Thank you for your hard work. I wish you better and better and find your customers! read more

Great tasting food and good service Have been going there since 25 years and the staff could smile a little more if possible read more

I ordered delivery and the food was pretty good. I ordered two beef kofta lunch specials and an order of sambosa. The beef was tasty and the rice was cooked well. The roasted tomato on the side was absolutely delicious. The sambosa didn't travel as well as it wasn't crispy when it arrived but was still really good. I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the white and green sauces. I really enjoyed their version of the green sauce. I've never had one quite like this. It was a little bit spicy, but extremely wonderfully tangy. I would definitely order again. I will probably try the chicken tikka next time. read more

My coworker and I decided to order some food from Kabul via UberEats. We decided to order the same thing, a Chicken Kebab Combo with Mixed Brown and White Rice, Extra Sauce and I also got Sambora. Combos serves 1-2 people and consists of your choice of any two kebabs from a entree, rice (white, brown, or green), and a salad. If you want to add Qabeli (raisins and carrots) to your rice it's a $3 charge. If you want to upgrade your complimentary green salad for a Shirazi Salad (chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and mint) there's a $4 charge. The food was delicious. Well seasoned but overpriced for the amount they charge for the combo. Also they should allow you to add just a kebab without all of the bells and whistles. I wouldn't recommend the sambora. It was an oily mess. read more

Kabul Kabab House has some solid food at very reasonable prices. I got 3 lunch specials and read some reviews that it might not be enough food but it was more than adequate at a great value as well. If I had to pick, I liked the chicken kabab a lot better than the beef kabab. It was a lot more moist, albeit the beef wasn't bad. The standout IMHO was the green sauce- it was a lot spicier than most places and hit the spot (is that still a cool thing to say)? All in all, I will definitely get takeout if not visit this fantastic place one day if I'm in the area. read more

I use to love coming here till my recent experience. The food is so good, it's been years since I've dined in. I decided to stop in and I was really confused by the service charge of 18%. The waiter couldn't explain why I was being charged this fee all he did was pass me the owners card and told me to contact them directly. I didn't take the card. His professionalism was poor and he could have just explained why I was charged a service fee. I was dining alone. As good as the kebabs are I won't be coming back here. read more

I went here for lunch on a weekday to try it out. Walking in, I wish there was better music or even Afghan music to liven up the place as there were nature sounds playing and it didn't suit the restaurant. I think that would help the ambiance a lot. The food was amazingggg. The meat was seasoned well and tasted delicious. I noticed they were preparing a lot of take out orders but that didn't affect the service we received. Would definitely eat here again! read more

Food was good the only thing I don't understand is I thought restaurants was suppose to give you a glass of water I ask for two waters he gives me bottles that I had to pay for like when I went here 5 years ago they would at least give you water and then a salad before you get your meal which I didn't get I don't know if these guys fell off or something besides that the food is good read more

We discovered this little gem today on our way to the Queens Botanical Gardens. We both enjoyed our entrees (chicken kabobs) immensely - just the right flavors and presentation. Our waiter made the whole experience a delight, he was attentive and polite. We shared a serving of Baklava at the end which we both felt was the best we've had in a long time! The lunch specials (Mon-Fri) are well priced, otherwise, prices are at market standards. We will be returning! read more

Tried Kabul Kabab for the first time because of a friend recommendation and overall I'd give it a solid 4/5. I tried the barg and and my friend tried the chicken. The barg was very tender. Be sure to ask for medium rare or else is going to be super overcooked! I also tried the carrot and raisin rice, and it wasn't really folded into the rice. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Just order the brown rice which is what my friend did. We also tried the appetizer trio. It came with the samoas, hummus, and eggplant appetizer. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of any of the appetizers. The babaganoush wasn't really babaganoush. It had a tomato sauce mixed in and just wasn't the dish I expected. All in all I'd say that the meat was great! But everything else was ok. Solid 4/5 because of the meat quality read more

We went here on Tuesday once they opened. We were the first customers for the day, and they were very nice to us. We noticed that the decor in the restaurant was very friendly and there were nice pictures. We asked for water, but they said they only sold bottles and gave us a water bottle in the house. Then, we ordered the sambosas and a combo platter with salmon and lamb tikka. They had pita bread with butter as the free appetizer. The butter was good and had a hint of lemon or some herb that made it unique. The sambosas were so good, especially with the spicy green sauce. The platter didn't have much variety; however, it came with a lot of delicious brown rice. The salmon was excellent and flavorful, but the lamb was a little dry and chewy. Overall the food was good, and we would return for the sambosas and try the other meats. read more

This is bar far the best Afghan food I've ever tried beef tikka and chicken is a must service is great .. I come here at least twice a week ! read more

Was my first time ordering here. Chicken was very dry and bland. The rice also just tasted like herb , no savory tasty flavor that I am used to when I order kebabs. Price was also on the higher side , close to 20 dollars for 1 person meat rice. I would recommend getting chicken over rice at any halal cart and it will taste way better and cost less than half the price. Would not come back for sure. read more

This place used to be my go to for fresh grilled kebabs. It's gotten more expensive and smaller portions over time. I got the beef tikka recently and it was $21 for 4 pieces of beef and all rice. The beef was overall dry and can't recommend this place anymore to others. read more

Always an amazing experience! The service was top-notch from start to finish - everyone was so friendly and attentive. The food, Absolutely delicious! Every dish was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were spot on. But what really made the experience stand out was the manager. Seriously, they're the best! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, checking in with us and making us feel at home. Highly recommend this place - you won't be disappointed! read more

Pretty average food, but really great service. I'm personally not a big fan of halal, so that might be why I wasn't too crazy about this place. I got the beef kofta, which was good. However, this came with a huge portion of rice (that I didn't even eat half of), a single tomato, and a couple raw pieces of onion. I feel like the meal was lacking something- there should've been more vegetables and less rice. Other than the food, the service was great and our waiter was so nice! If you like halal, you most likely would enjoy it here, it just wasn't for me. read more

Been going there for 27 years and gave it 1 another chance because the last time the meat was super dry and upon complaining I got yelled at so I left without eating They have killed this place, again the food quality has gone down the staff is hyper we were served dry cold rice We told them these are not good they exchanged it thanks a lot but than the manager came and my wife said the rice before tasted like leftover batch from previous cook or whatever this Man KHalid who calls himself manager got really nasty his body language was really aggressive and Nasty he should not be working in a restaurant, has clear psychological issues. I ran a restaurant myself and things I have heard were nasty but I never reacted so angrily my two nieces were scared. I will never go there again and I am filing a complaint with city. read more

It's a 3.5 taste/flavor wise but service is always good. I picked up food here recently, and before that popped in person pre pandemic. Love the taste of the white sauce as it's a little more on the sour tang side. I feel like I need alot of white sauce to enjoy the meal. I think some afghani places make the rice a little greasier so that it pairs better with the meat (which I would have liked). They have great lamb just a little pricey. If you have $30 def go for the lamb and if you're in the mood for that nice char on your chicken also great. I got the kobideh and it tasted a little dry for me :( but I wanted to love it. Portions were great though. Better luck next time! read more

Nothing special for a dining experience one tier above fast food. Came here on week day for their lunch special. We happened to be the only ones dining in an empty restaurant. We sat ourselves and the waiter did not offer water or recommended anything. We had to ask for menus and for water he pointed to the soda fridge he said you can buy some bottled water. We got the lunch specials which tasted ok for kebabs. The waiter never checked in on our food or if we needed anything. When we finally had enough he brought the check over which included a service charge (tip). Overall the food and service were very lacking and perhaps that is why the place is completely empty for the entire hour we were there. We walked one block in both directions to peek in on other restaurants. All had lots of customers eating in while Kabul was dead. We should have trusted our own eyes before sitting down rather than good reviews on Yelp. read more

Really good food and great fast service. The only thing I thought was okay was the Bolani- not very traditional and more so fried and oily. Aside from that everything else was very tasty. Super cute and homey restaurant. If I'm in this neck of the woods I'll definitely be back. read more

Lamb shank is the best item on the menu. The portion is very big two big pieces of lamb with bone. Could be a meal for two if you don't eat much. The lamb is very tender and falls off the bone and the sauce pairs well with this dish. I added a ton of chili powder and souk so I made it spicy. A must try - you will not be disappointed. 5 stars. read more

The food here is delicious, albeit pricey. But I don't mind paying for quality and the food is delicious! That being said, the management here is stingy AF. I paid $120 for kebab delivery. I wanted to add Qabuli: the carrots and raisins that go atop the rice. This is already overpriced at $5 on the menu. I asked if there was a way to add and charge me; they said no. I asked if they could just be gracious and add it comp given the large order; they said no. We are talking about a handful of cooked carrots and raisins to be placed atop the rice here. CARROTS AND RAISINS! And they said nah. Samosas were bland. That's just poor business practice. They've lost a customer in me. They're green sauce was also watery and gross AF this time. See picture. Bleh! read more

Excellent food. Delicious taste. Lots of choice. Good value for money. Combo for 2 $35 and combo for 3 is $50. Typical ambience for an Afgan restaurant. Seating for about 80 persons. Service was good until we finished the entres and ordered deserts. The little table was full of empty plates and trays but the staff would not clean the table. We asked them three times, they walked by 15 times, but did not. So we had to collect the trays and plates, and wiped the tables by ourselves, so we coukd eat the deserts. Everything else was great. read more

1st time here & the food is pretty good. They have salad for starters (lettuce, cucumber, tomato). We got the Combo platter for 2 (Combo 2) which was abt $55. We got Lamb Tikka, Beef tikka & beef kofta. It comes with raw onion & roasted tomatoes. Everything was good. I love kofta since it's so juicy & cuts easily. The green chili sauce is really spicy which I didn't expect since the 1 in Bakhtar isn't spicy at all & I been going to the latter for yrs. They only have 1 ice cream flavor. It has pistachios & is kinda minty. I just wish they had more ice cream flavors like mint chocolate chip, chocolate, strawberry, etc. The service is great. read more

I came here the other night and food was good. Service was perfect. I attempted to come again and a different person was working. As I'm about to enter he meets me at the door and asks what do I want? Being rude is not a good look for the business. I don't know what his deal was but poor manners is not cool. I simply said to him if you don't want my money I'll go somewhere else. I attempted to take a picture of the restaurant, and you can see the back of the person wearing a red shirt. Ps I was going to get the food to go anyway read more

The service and food was once really good here but no more. Terrible customer service. I ordered a combo platter plus a second entree and an appetizer and specifically asked for extra white sauce on pick but the employee assured me he put extra. When I got home there was only one little container of white sauce in the bag. The rice is always phenomenal but the chicken was so dry and the beef was too tough to eat. Last time for me. read more
