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.

Unassuming exterior and location. Every time I come here I love what I order. Today they have a…read morebuffet set up and I had the time to sit and eat. Everything on the buffet is superb! From the green salad and the chicken soup (thickened with cornstarch?) and perfectly flavored with spices. I tried a small portion of everything. The rice is excellent, fluffy, moist, with good flavor. The baker eggplant is divine, as are the cooked greens and the okra. Meat dumplings were to die for! Two kinds of chicken--boneless kabob and bone in legs, both delish. Highly recommend, several tables for dining in. I tried the milk pudding after I took the photo. It, too, is excellent!

My first Yelp event was at Kabul House on Oakton (Skokie), before they moved to Dempster…read more(Evanston). And from that moment to this, I've always been amazed by Afghanistan style cooking. And that's why I was attracted to Bamyan Kabob. I drive down Lincoln Avenue every week it seems, and guess what, there's Bamyan that I'm seeing out of the corner of my eye. So I finally came in, at least three (3) times now and I really enjoy the greetings from the employees, they are very friendly. They also have videos showing how the food is prepared and cooked, which is very insightful. As for the food, definitely get the mantu entree, these are the beef pot stickers, these are incredible. I would also select the steak and chicken kebabs with salad. Although we've asked for rare steak, it's been on the medium well side. But both the steak and chicken breast cubes are still very juicy. Excellent service too, in this neat and clean environment. When it was warmer, we sat in the outdoor enclosed area and that was cool, literally.

The samsa came with an amazingly delicious sauce; even though the pastry felt like it might have been baked the day before, it was still so good that it doesn't change my 5-star rating at all. We also ordered a lot of plov and kazan kebab to take out. I haven't tried the kazan kebab yet, but it looks so tempting and delicious that I'm sure it will taste amazing too. Highly recommend! Good service Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. Will definitely come back! More parking lots, free parking

After a wonderful evening listening to an intimate concert by a Russian cellist at Arcada Theatre,…read moremy two Russian friends and I decided to have dinner at Chinor. What a fantastic choice! Even better, it's only a few blocks from my house, so I know I'll definitely be back. The restaurant is elegant without feeling pretentious. White tablecloths, a warm atmosphere, and attentive, friendly service immediately make you feel welcome. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, answered all our questions, and guided us through dishes that were new to me. Everything we ordered was excellent. We started with one of their traditional breads, which was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. We also shared several salads, including an eggplant salad that completely stole the show. It was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and one of the best eggplant dishes I've had in a long time. Another highlight was their large steamed dumplings, similar in spirit to pierogi but distinctly Uzbek. They were generously filled with lamb, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying. Comfort food at its best. One thing that really impressed me was how authentic the restaurant felt. It was busy with people who clearly knew and appreciated the cuisine, including many Eastern European and Central Asian diners, which always feels like a good sign. It is wonderful to find a restaurant serving authentic Uzbek food in the suburbs, and doing it so well. Excellent food, gracious service, and a beautiful atmosphere make Chinor an easy recommendation. If you're looking to try something beyond the usual restaurant choices, this place is absolutely worth the visit.
