    The food was good, but not amazing compared to other spots in the area. They seem like a mixture of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian food. It's a newer spot. The service was alright. It's a casual vibe, nothing fancy. The platter was decent. We split the platter between the two of us. The chicken was flavorful it was cooked tendori style. The beef was flavorful as well. We personally did not enjoy the falafel here. I wish they also had it come with a dipping sauce. They didn't tell us it came with pita so we paid extra for pita. We didn't even end up liking the pita bread. It was hard and thin. Overall, I would probably choose some of the other spots before this one. However, if someone said they wanted to go I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another shot.

    Falafel
    Devon M.

    TLDR: Very good food at a fairly reasonable price. The service was friendly and the owner was helpful. My wife and I really wanted Mediterranean/middle eastern style food and decided to try somewhere new. We started with the falafel and while it was crunchy, it was what we've come to expect from restaurant falafel. It won't blow you away but it's not going to leave you upset. We ordered the platter and it was better than expected. The chicken was like chicken tandoori and it was juicy. The lamb was tender but left a little to be desired for flavor. The beef kubideh was the highlight. It was spicy and flavorful and we both loved it! The hummus is also good but pretty standard for us. The platter was supposed to come with bread and they forgot it and I ended up ordering some for $2 and the owner said he'd give us something else for the $2 but never did. But it's not the biggest deal in the world. The service was friendly. But it seems like maybe the staff aren't familiar with the entire menu as they initially forgot the bread that comes with the platter. The ambiance is pretty standard casual for a restaurant these days.

    Grilled chicken wrap with fries
    Hina M.

    My baby sister put me on to this little gem -- Laziz Kabob! New to the Sterling area, this spot brings its own flavorful twist to classic Afghan dishes. I've heard great things about their Kabili Pulao and Aash, but I got to try the chicken wrap and fries (thanks to a family member's treat ). The grilled chicken breast kabob was tender and juicy, layered with sauces and a fresh fusion-style salad that made for a perfectly balanced wrap. Everything tasted clean, well-seasoned, and full of flavor -- without being greasy. For about $17 plus tax, I got the wrap, fries, and both the white and green sauces totally worth it! I'm already planning to come back for the gyro wrap and more. What I really love is that their food doesn't feel heavy or oily like many traditional dishes can. My family has tried this place multiple times and everyone keeps talking about how fresh and light the food is perfect for today's more health-conscious lifestyle. I love seeing traditional recipes made in a way that lets people enjoy amazing flavor without compromising on their health goals. Keep up the great work, Laziz Kabob!

    This was my first time trying Afghan food and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the fact that they have a traditional oven that bakes naan fresh to order. I tried the kabob platter with chicken, beef and kefta which was definitely enough to share with another person. My favorite was the chickpeas and the pumpkin w/yogurt sauce. I definitely could have eaten that all day.

    Highly recommend checking out Laziz Kabob! The food was excellent and the service exceptional. The owner kept checking in on us and even offered us some samples to try, which was super generous. I recommend trying the Nihari (Saturday special) - the meat in the stew was so tender and flavorful and an excellent paring eaten with naan.

    I already ate some of the kabob

    Picked up a takeout order for my husband and me today, and I wish we had tried this place sooner! The kabob was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the sides--pumpkin, chickpeas, and spinach--were absolutely delicious and a must-try. I especially loved the touch of carrots and raisins in the rice. This is definitely going to be our new go-to spot for kabobs!

    Mango lassi, strawberry mule and mango mule (left to right)
    Umar T.

    The food was amazing, I recommend the lamb chops with the side of chickpeas. The kabobs were great, though I think the meat (beef and lamb kabobs) could use a bit more flavor. The drinks were excellent, I highly recommend the strawberry mule! Service was on point, as it's their first day for the soft opening! We had been watching the creation of this new spot for some time now and really love the ambiance of the interior and the layout of the place! Will be coming back soon to try some other dishes and specials!

    This place was amazing! The food was fresh and delicious. The combos were reasonably price and the workers were very friendly and helpful. Even gave us a free dish to try. The place is very clean and looks new. Looks like a lunch rush is the norm so get there early couldn't recommend it enough.

    This place is great. Food was well prepared, staff very nice and helpful. Clean place in a strip style shopping mall. Food is very authentic style Afghan cuisine. The lamb chops are 5star! Presentation is well done. Finished off with tea and dessert as we always do. Will definitely return.

When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

Non alcoholic drinks are not an after thought, the sour cherry rose lemonade is liked by kids, adults, and seniors. Service is warm and welcoming, the Rumi quotes on the walls and turkish lamps add to the ambience, parking is easy and aplenty. A few tips: 1. Go for the lunch menu if you are feeding a large group. It is cheaper. Or consider making the trek to where it all started, Afghan Bistro in Springfield. 2. Ask for the daily selection of cakes. The pistachio and cardamom are the best, not too sweet, light, moist, and fragrant. Of course we devoured the food before taking pictures but a couple attached.

The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

My only pro tip is that when you order a veg main it's a lot of one thing, whereas meat mains come with a veg. Next time I will order the veggie combo option to get more diversity. Normally I write longer reviews but in this case I think I will let the food photos speak for themselves.
