Mazar is my absolute favorite Afghan-style kebab and lamb-shank with rice destination ... the chef is very knowledgeable and can prepare the dishes authentically Pricing is reasonable. The restaurant is comfortable and bright ... a must-visit if you're in the Federal Way area looking for some nice Middle Eastern food. read more

Small but new afghan spot in kent. Menu is limited but the qabuli pallow was the best i have had so far in my visits to seattle. The bean dish with naan was really good too. Naan came cold was only part i didnt like. Prices were really good not crazy expensive. But i will be back for more qabuli palao إن شاء الله . read more

Visited Mazar restaurant today with my family. I was very impressed with the place, service and of course the food. We ordered drinks that were made with the real fruit, my daughter couldn't get enough of. The plov and manto was perfect. Very authentic, flavorful and served beautifully. Will definitely be coming back. I think I found my new place to satisfy my cravings. read more

The food here was phenomenal! We were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly gentleman that took our order. I had the chicken kabobs and my mom had the lamb kabobs. I asked if we could have a side of rice which they don't usually have but they were so kind and accommodates our request which they totally didn't have to do. Each order of kabobs comes with a side of bread and a creamy and slightly spicy dipping sauce. I was so full and satisfied but couldn't finish it all in one sitting. Service and food were incredible. read more

Best Afghan food you will have in Seattle Their Palau is the best Also best are chapli kabab Tikka kebab Chicken kebab Naan From fast service to great customer service read more

They are really experts in cooking and customer service, the test is perfectly fine, all natural ingredients and Hallal

The only thing that was better than the food was the hospitality that business owner Sayed extended to us. Not having experience with this cuisine before, he had variety of dishes prepared for us which was such an incredible and welcoming experience. We will definitely be returning and encouraging others to check it out, too. read more

This Afghani restaurant was quite decent and is located near Des Moines not too far from Highline College. We decided to experiment for "date night" and this was a pleasant surprise, the food was very tasty. There is a prayer pad at the front of the store. It was about 77F degrees in there at 9pm at night in March, so it was a bit warm that I had to take off my jacket. This might be from the kitchen equipment though. We had as follows: "Chicken Kabab, Chicken Karahi, Samosa and a Sprite." Total was $54.27 for the entire meal. It came with a generous portion of a Naan type bread which tasted great. The chef was nice to us and answered all of our questions. He gave us some hot Ceylon tea before the meal was served, he also mentioned all the food was Halal. Side note: There was a homeless man that was in just before we got there (when the place was empty) and was begging for food. The chef gave him a portion of rice and something else. I thought that was very upstanding of him to do that for him. If you ever wanted to experiment with Afghani food it has some similarities to Indian and Mediterranean, yet has it's own unique flair. 5 stars. read more

I really wanted this to be good, but unfortunately it disappointed me. The bread was not warm, room temperature so basically cold. The samosa were still literally frozen on the inside. Lamb Kebab was cooked ok but a bit salty. At least the server tried to be nice. read more

At first we were skeptical about going there because this place had 5star reviews so we thought maybe it's fake but we ended up trying it as others around weren't so good anyways so as we entered the restaurant it was clean and we were greeted by very nice owners. The food menu was limited and very reasonably priced. We decided to order their palao rice, Chapli kabob, and chicken kabob. Man we lovedddd their palao rice and chapli kabob. The best food hands down. Chicken was also good. Food was fresh and very tasteful. We found out they just opened this year 2023 and since they were soo good we decided to leave a good review for them as they deserve it!!! read more

DELICIOUS food. My wife and I ordered Chapli kebab, kabuli pulao, tikka kebab, and chicken kebab. Our fav was the chapli kebab and pulao. Bonus points for the food being organic and halal. I am surprised at how affordable the menu is. Who knows how long the prices will stay low - seems unreal! The service was also amazing! read more

Friendly staff. Looks like a genuine effort was made to create something unique for the area. The qabili palaw was excellent.

My family has only been introduced to Afghan food in the past year, but what a treat! We were excited to see this place open near our home and stopped in to order take out. I found the shop to be very clean and tidy, and employees are very attentive and kind. Not knowing most of the dishes, I asked for recommendations, and ordered three dishes to take home. All were delicious and well prepared and well packaged for carrying home. Looking forward to eating here again soon. Can't say enough about how nice the staff was. I arrived at a slow time (daytime during Ramadan) and the employee there took time to ask questions about our food preferences and answer some of my questions as well. I didn't take any photos--next time. If you've never tried Afghan food, don't wait. The Kebab is amazing. (Served like a sandwich or buritto in a large flat bread) Kabuli Pulau is a flavorful rice dish that has a kind of sweet beefy flavor and a lot of aromatics. There is not a heavy use of hot/spices nor particularly heavy flavor--I'm certian you'll find something for everyone here. read more

The food was so good!! We had ordered several items and all of them were excellent. The people were also very friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. Even the free tea was very good and different. I was reading some of the reviews and saw that people complained about the small portion. I thought the proportions were very very generous compared to the price. Give this restaurant a try, you won't regret it. read more

The food was great. Chicken kababs and samosas especially good. Pita bread was the best I have had in the PNW. Fresh and moist. Very low key environment- Order at the counter and they bring you the food. Service was also very good. Recommend for authentic afghan food Seems like a new spot read more

Gave this place a try with my friend. The food was fresh and delicious. Get the lamb Palau. Trust me it's very delicious.

This place just opened a few weeks ago and it was delicious. Went with some friends who are from Kabul and we're jonesing for kebabs like from home and they agreed: they were just like home. The staff was also super nice. Will definitely be back to try more. read more

No taste, very expensive and very small portion size vs the the price they are charging. Service is also bad.

The worst afghan food I've ever had, maybe I'm used to Afghan food in Virginia, but this was not worth the price. Will never be showing up again. read more

Don't walk, run to this restaurant. This is what authentic food is all about. We tried a lot of their dishes and everything was just absolutely delicious. I wish they were open in a location where there was more exposure to this awesome deliciousness. Definitely a hidden jewel. read more

Amazing service the food was a bomb the kabobs were amazing 12/10 the place was pretty cool they had condiments on. The table it was an amazing experience the drinks were pretty good I love the food here would recommend coming here and only here when I took a bite of the kabob it felt like back home in Afghanistan read more

Food was deliciously, loved the pulao and Chapli Kebab. We will definitely coming back.

We just pulled of the highway for a bathroom break but the grocery store bathrooms were closed. We were starving and my wife and son walked in and ordered a couple of chicken kebabs. WOW! so delicious, we live in Bellevue but will definitely be coming back any time we are down in kent and will order extra for leftovers. Did I say WOW the spice on the kebabs was just right and the extra jalapenos were perfect with the wrap and chicken. read more

Go try this place anytime you're in or around Kent and you will be so grateful you did! The food is delish - we tried the chicken kebab, lamb kebab, the chapli and the samosas, and they were all high quality, flavorful and well cooked. The food truly seems like a labor of love because you can tell everything is made in a homemade fashion. The samosas, for instance, reminded me of Pakistan -- something I have NEVER had in the several years I've been in the US and elsewhere. Also, ask for the green chutney because that's divine. For dessert, the Russ malai is off the charts. They serve free tea which is very generous and the prices are overall very reasonable. The owner Syed treated us with a lot of care and respect and we had a great time chatting with him. I really wish this place was closer to Seattle so we could go more often but we'll definitely come back anytime it's on our way. I hope the place thrives! We were starving after a hike in rainier so I have no photos to share but I'd highly recommend this place! read more
