Kabul Kabob
Phil S.

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.

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!!

Turkish Salad, Baba Ghanouj, Tomato Sauce, Naan
Natalie N.

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.

Delicious food ! The tenderloin skewers are super good, I don't believe any other restaurant can compete with them. Service was great , they served complimentary hummus and baba ghanoj

Chicken Koubideh
Juveriya M.

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.

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.

Lamb Tikka
Obie P.

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.

Great food and ambience, best lamb I had in a long time. The service was out of this world and it sure makes a whole lot of a difference. Excellent experience.

Kabul Mix Grille Kabob Salmon Kabob
Sharjeel A.

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.

The place is very busy so parking can be a bit hard to find but they do have an overflow lot. Inside, they have a seating area where you can wait until you're seated at a table. Both times I've been there the wait time was around 20-30 minutes but trust me, the food is worth the wait. Even though they were busy, our server was attentive and the food didn't take too long to come out. I went with a group and for our appetizer we tried the platter that comes with hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and fresh pita bread. For my drink, I had the lemon mint smoothie...very refreshing. The plates that my husband and I got were the chicken shawarma sandwich with a salad and the filet plate that comes with rice as well as grilled tomato and grilled onion. They give you generous portions which made it possible for me to share some of my meal with someone in my group to try and I still had leftovers. Finally, we could not leave without having dessert. We had knafeh which is made fresh. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back next time I visit the Chicagoland area.

Listen to me, I've driven by this place so many times and wondered what's really good to eat here…read more Most of the time I was intimidated by the traffic here, and how cramped it can seem - but let me tell you, the food is WORTH IT, man! Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Yemani Adni tea was good, but unfortunately was pre mixed with sugar - no other choice was possible. Appetizer of a breaded chicken Sandwitch was OK, the hummus left a lot to be desired.

I will give it another try after they have run the place for a few months and hopefully improved.

I told her my order was to go. She showed me a menu and explained how they do things! I wanted some beef ribs so she told me that they only accept orders of beef ribs by the pound beef ribs by the pound are $49.99 per pound. And I asked for a half a pound of beef brisket.. my order came with a Turkish salad, a cucumber and tomato salad, cole slaw, a large container of basmati rice, some cherry tomato and roasted garlic. It also came with various sauces. Hassan gave me a sample of the brisket with their own house seasoning. The brisket wasn't the traditional whole cut barbecue way. It was kind of shredded, but it was delicious! Very juicy melted in my mouth! The Beef Ribs were sooo juicy and flavorful! The roasted potatoes were cooked well and tossed in honey. The Cole slaw was very delicious, the cucumber and tomato salad was very refreshing...it did need some salt. The basmati rice had a yellow hue I believe because of some saffron that was added. It wasn't the star but was a good side to go with everything! I also ordered a mocktail called Pearl Petal... hints of lychee rose and peach I believe it was really good! I enjoyed this place and it was recommended to come dine in so next time I will!!!

To be clear, the parking area is kind of tight and cramped. If you can't find parking here, you can try seeing if parking is available in the neighborhood or next door. Inside Al Manakeesh, they have a plentiful amount of tables. You order at the front, receive a pager, and wait for your food. They have additional drinks in the back. They are known for making Middle Eastern flatbread pizzas and kaaks (bagel). Customer service was great. They were very efficient at making the food and drinks. Everyone was nice. No one was pushy when we ordered our items. Prices were good, they were inexpensive. We ordered egg/meat/cheese, pepperoni, mixed meat bagel, sfeha with tahaina, and zaatar/akkawi cheese/cherry tomato. Honestly, everything was a 5/5. I liked that the pizzas weren't floppy and none of the ingredients slid off. The portions were huge. I also got a peach matcha. After mixing it, the peach taste was very noticeable: -The pepperoni tastes cleaner and more flavorful than the American places. For some reason, the American ones are so greasy and oily. -For the egg/meat/cheese pizza, the egg taste really stands out. -Sfeha is halal ground beef and has more flavor than regular ground beef. The tahaina helps make it pop. -The zaatar/akkawi/cherry tomato is an awesome combination. When you take that first bite, you'll immediately taste all of the ingredients. It's that prominent. -The mixed meat kaak has halal turkey, halal roast beef, halal salami, mozzarella, Mexican cheese, and their signature sauce. They give you two cups of sauces. One I think is the signature sauce and the red one is a little spicy. The portion is big enough to share between 3-4 people.

Disappointing Experience on 10/25/26 @12:16 afternoon!…read more Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The food preparation time was inaccurate on Uber Eats, and when the order was marked as ready, it was not actually ready. I ended up waiting an additional 25 minutes or more, which was frustrating and inconvenient. On top of the long wait, some ingredients were missing from one of my orders, and some of the food was already cold when I received it. This was not the quality of service I expected, especially when ordering food that should be prepared correctly and served fresh. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but accurate preparation times, complete orders, and food served at the proper temperature are basic expectations. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements to provide customers with a better experience. This is the second time that this happens where notes are not being read and ingredients are being forgotten they need to read notes and follow customers wishes and request! Unfortunately, that was fulfilled today food order was cold! And there was no arugula on my bagel since I did pay extra for ingredients, bagel was cold! I mean for an order of $67 dollars you would think the food quality would be good!
