Wanted to try to do something out & about which led to us walking around the mall. We debated about having dinner there but Joey mentioned/reminded me of a restaurant a friend had recommended. We made our way to Kabul Restaurant & I'm so glad we did. The staff were so welcoming & friendly. Very important note here- they are located upstairs in the building they are in. You'll see an entrance on the street but you have to go upstairs to get to the restaurant. Very beautiful view from the windows. We got two meals that we shared & an absolutely spectacular starter. My biggest appreciation was the fantastic flavors. Every bite I took (even of the rice) was seasoned & popped with flavor. The plates came with fresh lemon that was the perfect addition to squeeze over our meals. We had fresh herby sauces that also came with the meals that I couldn't get enough of. Fantastic meal & we will be going back. I'll also make sure to actually write down what we ordered! read more

From the Syracuse University I walked, saw the sign of Kabul! Never had an Afghanistan food in my life, so I walked in. Walked the stairs to top meaning 3 story. Nice and clean place. Sat by the window looking down the street, studied the menu. It was a bit confusing, I asked the most popular food, stc. He picked a dish of braised lamb chop with raisin rice. Ok. Was very tasty! Surprisingly good. Lamb was hiding inside of the mountain of rice. The owner lady told me, Afghanistan food is similar to Indian food. The difference is the ginger part. indian uses ginger, the other don't. Indian food is spicy, the other is not. Friendly service. read more

One usually does well to steer of SU campus adjacent businesses, for one's own sanity. Kabul is worth the effort. After trying about half their menu, this is one of those places that makes a takeout a good meal. It might not look like much, and with several steps not exactly well marked that need navigating, it will be a quick pickup. The food is not indicative of this path. Lamb slow cooked falling off the shank. Fluffy rice, well seasoned and able to be enjoyed for days of leftovers. Beef, chicken, vegetables simmered to delight. And fried foods that are not oily, light and crispy and filled with flavorful stuffings. Highly recommended read more

Friendly service, delicious authentic Afghan food with big portions. Their menu is a combination of Afghan, Persian and some Indian food, all very good. read more
