That kebab itself is enough reason to come back again. Great place, great service, definitely worth coming back

This is a long over due review . I dined in last year and forgot to post. This is a simple , clean and dine in restaurant. Afghanistan traditional cuisine. Fresh quality ingredients. I had the lamb shank meal. The seasoning and touches. Shredded carrots atop the seasoned rice. Wonderful flavor and very large quantity. Easily to be shared. I enjoyed nice hot tea with fresh mint. Nice family restaurant located in the Westfield Shopping Plaza, free open parking lot for customers. Large catering menu and delivery. Very busy community and shopping center.

Kabul Kabob - Outside store - Afghan Near Me - Bridgeview, Illinois

Friends invited me here for my birthday and it was a great dinner. We over-order and shared every single delicious dish - it was a feast. Probably some of the best Baba Ghanoush, very creamy hummus, and the tasty Kabuli Pulao / Qabeli palaw was excellent, super tender lamb shanks with marrow, delicious. Family-friendly and service was exceptional. read more

This food was so delicious, i ordered beef kebab with rice and salad, and for drink i got their lemonade. Highly recommend them

Food, and hospitality were exceptional. My colleague and I stopped by one late evening near closing and the welcoming owner greeted us. We left our order up to her so I don't recall what I had, but I recall that whatever we we had was fantastic. I may have a picture or two to share. I find myself in Little Palestine pretty often nowadays, and when I'm there, I will make it a point of revisiting Kabul Kabab. read more

08/21/24 - My wife, her brother & I were down by Midway Airport today for a doctor appointment. We had planned on going to Al Bawadi but it was closed out of respect to the Pro Palestinian protesters in Chicago @ the DNC. We were little disappointed but found that there were other offerings across 87th street. Much to our delight we found Kabul Kabob across the street in the large at strip mall. This area of of Bridgeview has a number of middle eastern. Afagan food fuses Its cuisine & has influences from all over -- Persia, the Mediterranean, South Asia and China. We decided to try Kabul House in this mall @ 7265 W 87th St, Bridgeview, IL 60455. We went in & the owner & her daughter & one other woman were there. She was a very gracious host & spent some time explaining some of their dishes. We ordered 2 dishes that came w/Afagan rice had julienne carrots & raisins, chicken & beef kabobs. One dish had a beef Kofta & the other had a lamb kofta blended with onions, garlic, parsley and a few of my favorite Middle Eastern spices including, allspice, cardamom, sumac, and nutmeg. She also brought out a plate that had hummus, cucumber, tomatoes red onions & cilantro. There was also a sweet tomato dish that was absolutely delicious. They also have fresh made pita type bread that was still hot and made fresh right out of the oven, absolutely delicious. The food & service was very good & I will be back when I'm in the area again (unfortunately I'm usually this far south. The little daughter happened to be there today & brought out the appetizer dish w/hummus, sweet red tomatoes & salad of cucumbers, red onions & cilantro. She was mommas little helper. The restaurant had some beautiful Persian lights made of cut pieces of beautiful colored glass. read more

We had such a lovely date night on a Friday evening at Kabul Kabob. The ambiance and space is intimate and beautifully decorated. Service was impeccable and our waitresses made us feel so welcomed and took time to explain the menu as this was our first time trying Afghan food. We ordered the Kabul Mix (which was generous in portion and equally delicious) and Mantu as an appetizer (delicious dumplings). Can't wait to come back with a larger group and try the Family Platters!! read more

was in the mood for some kebab and also wanted to venture into "little palestine" aka bridgeview, IL. we walked in and the owner greeted us immediately. it was empty inside (this was a late lunch, around 3:30 PM) but she mentioned that 90% of their business comes from catering so the restaurant tends to be slow. i actually took this as a green flag lol they have an expansive menu. before our entrees were ready, the owner brought us a plate of turkish salad, baba ghanouj, & a house-made tomato sauce with naan to try, on the house. i'm genuinely still thinking about the tomato, it was so so so delicious. i got the badinjan & my partner got the beef koubideh, both with a side of afghani rice. it was a huge portion for me but my food was so tasty that i cleaned my plate anyway! i fully recommend coming here if you are in the area, the owner was so nice to talk to and the restaurant is decorated nicely inside. i think it should be full to the brim with customers. read more

This place is smack dab in the middle of one of the best strip malls in the Bridgeview area. The restaurant is one of many tasty halal options in the area. We ordered the mantu, the beef koubideh, chicken koubideh, and the mixed grill. One issue we had was that the mantu had arrived after our main dishes and I wish that the waitress had told us this before since we ordered it as an apperizer. We were told it takes a long time to make. Another issue is that there isn't a second door to block out the Chicago chill, so you're constantly feeling cold in the restaurant. The third issue is that they do charge a fee for sharing dishes, it is $5 per person. The food is absolutely amazing! The beef is tender and the appetizers of humus and Baba ganoush and a tomato salad is scrumptious with hot bread. They automatically include tip if your party is 5 and over. read more

Why haven't I come here before?! Unfortunately Bawadi and Nile take away from Kabul Kabob, but this is definitely up there with them. I actually love the Afghan flavors a little more than Bawadi. I love the rice with the carrots and raisins, you can't get that in the other Arab restaurants. The food was delicious. I especially loved the shank and lamb chops. Can't wait to come back. read more

Went there for the first time for an indoor dining. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. This place has an excellent quality authentic Afghan food, very good service. Ambions are nice and this place is very well organized. I abouslty loved their Lamb Tikka. It was perfectly cooked, great balance of seasonings and spices, served with the Qabuli Rice ($2 upgrade). Over all an excellent experience, I would highly recommend them. read more

Food is incredible, no notes at all on how they could improve quality or flavor. Service is not great, borderline actually terrible over the phone, and price is wildly disproportionate to quantity of food provided. It's really a disappointment because their food hits the spot and is absolutely delicious but the customer service and insane prices have discouraged me from ordering again despite craving quality Afghan food. read more

I hesitated to try this type of new food but I am glad we went after seeing so much good reviews. People are nice and friendly, also made good recommendations because we were first timers. Food were delicious! We got the lamp chops, and chicken combo. Tender meat, well cooked, great flavor. Very special flavor on the rice. I would highly recommend if you never tried this restaurant. read more

This place is definitely underrated. Really clean and healthy food I recommend the lamb chops and kabobs !!!

My first time at this place. We ordered lamb chops , Kabul mixed grille, salmon kabab, naan, tea, appetizers which included a plate with salad, baba ghannouj, hummus and an onion/tomato/chilli based dip. The Naan arrived piping hot and fresh. The tea was spot-on with a hint of cardamom. The lamb chops were grilled perfectly. Not overly cooked or spiced..perfectly tender and juicy. Same goes for kababs (chicken/beef/salmon). The kabuli pulao accompanying the mixed grille was as authentic as it can get...very mildly spiced to perfection with super-long flavorful basmati rice. I have to say these were the best lamb chops I've had in a while. Will definitely be visiting again. read more

The food was absolutely delicious here! My favorite was the mantu appetizer. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the sauce on top of the dumplings was delicious. It was also a pretty large portion. The chicken koubideh was my favorite entree. We ordered it along with a few other items in our group, but the koubideh was well spiced and tender. The other entrees in our group were great as well, but the mantu and chicken koubideh were my two favorites. read more

Best Halal place in the Chicago area. Drop everything and go enjoy the kebabs at this place. You won't regret it. The service is amazing. Very friendly. And the food... the food is to die for. Reviews won't do justice. Go try the spot! read more

So, if you are not aware of it, a Yelp reviewer that "checks-in" to certain businesses can earn certain "badges" It is a fun thing to do that encourages Yelpers to try out various businesses. In this case, I am trying to earn my "Global Domination" badge. I can get it if I check-in to a number of different ethnic restaurants. And Kabul Kabob, being Afghan, seemed like an interesting restaurant to help me qualify for that badge. Gee, I feel like a Girl Scout again! We were out and about getting some errands done. My friend had dinner at Kabul Kabob before and really enjoyed it. We decided to stop here for lunch. Kabul Kabob is in a strip mall and we found parking with relative ease. The restaurant interior is very pleasant (see pictures). The restaurant not only looked clean, it smelled clean - - like bleach or some similar cleaner. I was expecting the smell of exotic, delicious food upon entering - - oh, well. We ordered an appetizer: Mantu, a meat filled dumpling and it was pretty good. The waiter also brought complimentary pita bread and a dish with hummus, salad and onion dip. Hummus and onion dip were good; I didn't care for the salad and it tasted old to my friend. I ordered the Lunch Lemon Chicken Pita. It came with an awful lot of boring, very over-salted fries that were pretty awful. The Lemon Chicken is like a chicken salad that doesn't have all that much chicken in it. My friend just wanted a BOWL of lentil soup and Naan. He got a CUP of lentil soup. He told the waiter he wanted a bowl and the waiter said he would refill the cup. He never refilled the cup of soup nor did he bring the Naan. Well, at least he didn't charge for the soup (which was a cup instead of the bowl that was ordered) or Naan (which was ordered but never received). After dropping off the food, the waiter did not come back to the table again until we asked for the check. You would think we could have got a little more attention and better service. We were the only customers the whole time we were there. Also, we took pictures when we came in and my friend told him that I was going to write a Yelp review. The waiter thanked me for this review. I wish I could have thanked him for better service. We gave him a decent tip for not charging for the bowl of soup but we would have preferred better service. read more

Great place! The interior looks nice. Service was friendly. The food was incredible. They served complimentary hummus and bread, which felt and tasted very fresh. I don't know if this place is authentically Afghan considering the hummus and Arab music, but the food was still good. And all the food came out really fast, which is a huge plus when you have kids. We ordered mantu as an appetizer, which was tasty but had a bit too much lentil on it. The lentil soup that came with our Afghan mixed grill was excellent. The mixed grill itself was delicious and had a good mix of items. I really liked the chicken kefta. The beef kabob was on the tough side. My wife enjoyed the chicken kabob. We had the qabouli rice with the entree, which was totally worth the $2 substitution fee. And the yogurt sauce was awesome. To top it off, this restaurant is in the same plaza as my favorite Middle Eastern dessert shop -- al-Basha Sweets! read more

A must visit place for Afghan food lovers. Food tastes fresh and is of good quality. The staff are knowledgeable on the food which helps in selection for first timers. The owner was very attentive and welcomed us after finding out it was our first time there. Gave us complimentary hummus, baba gannouj etc as a welcome gesture which was also nice. We enjoyed the main meat platters with kabuli rice. The lamb was one of the best tender lambs I have had. Will definitely visit again with family and friends. read more

Wonderful little place with delicious food and kind service! I love the little strip mall Kabul Kabob is located in, we stopped there frequently for the bakery and different sweets shops before we discovered this gem. I'm just sorry we didn't pop in there sooner because it's one of my favorite restaurants now. The decor is simple and lovely with beautiful lamps hanging and traditional items adorning the walls. During rush hour, it takes us almost hour to get to Bridgeview from Brighton Park but it's well worth fighting the traffic! read more

I highly recommend Kabul Kabob for a quick, tasty lunch or dinner. The owner/hostess was very welcoming and made great suggestions for a light meal when I visited by myself and when I returned with my sister.

I will be back whenever I'm in the area or in need of great food with so much flavor. read more
