    Their food quality is one of the worst if not the worst specially their rice (Qabulli)! Don't waste your money and time by going to this place.

    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.

    Best rice i have ever had and the meat was super rich Love the seasoning. Definitely would come back here again and the price is reasonable

    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.

    Very sweet people and delicious food! Seems like it's family run and they were very attentive to us. I loved the lamb rice and the potato puffs. Those aren't the names but lol the menu is simple so you'll know what I mean. So yummy. A little pricey, but really not bad!

    no meat in this gyro, the picture speaks for itself

    Kabul Afghan Cuisine absolutely blew me away. I came with my friends, a party of 5 so we had to…read morewait about 10-15 mins but it was 10000% worth it. We shared a bunch of appetizers: bolani, burta, and the mushroom qorma. Burta was my fav but every single dish was so flavorful. For my mains, I got the murgh kebab.. the chicken was so tender and well-marinated but the flavored rice stole the show for me. Also the place feels super authentic, cozy, warm, not trying too hard, just real. And the owner was hilarious, so witty, and made the whole experience feel extra special. You can tell he cares and it shows. Now the saddest part: I just found out this restaurant has been around for decades and is closing forever soon. Truly heartbreaking! I really wish I'd discovered it sooner. If you've been meaning to go, don't wait. This spot is a gem and def deserves a visit before it's gone. FYI, it closes on Jan 3rd 2026!

    I went here for a Sunday dinner with some friends and had a good time. It was not too busy, with…read moreabout half the restaurant full at 7pm. This was my first time trying Afghan food so I was excited to see what the cuisine offers. We got the combination kebab for 2 (2 red meats - lamb and beef, $100) which is basically a full set course menu and a fish qorma as another entree as there was 3 of us. The combination kebab is definitely more than enough food for 2, as the 3 of us shared that plus one entree and we were all stuffed. Ash - traditional noodle soup with kidney beans and chickpeas. I like the salty and slightly tangy aspect of the soup and it definitely whet my appetite for what is to come. Badenjan Borani - eggplant. I don't like eggplant but found the taste of this to be delicious. It is a bit on the mushier side for my liking though Fish qorma - fish was cooked nicely in a tomato based sauce Seekh kebab - beef. I didn't really like this one as much since the meat was tough but the flavor was great. Bara kebab - lamb. I love this one as it was juicier and more flavorful Kabuli palaw - the rice dish that comes with the kebab. I love this - it's like jeweled rice from Iranian and Persian cuisine, which offers carbs and a bit of sweetness to it. Pairs excellently with the dishes Firni - cardamom, pistachio, rosewater pudding. Classic Afghan dessert. Quite sweet but refreshing at the same time. Love it Dogh - an interesting salty drink made with yogurt, fresh mint, and salt. It felt like I was drinking sauce but more palatable. Service is good as dishes were taken out in good cadence and food came out at a decent pace.

Saturday evening and just one more family along with us :( Anyways, the place is extremely huge and has a nice ambiance. Makes you feel homely. The food was really good :) the rice was so flavorful. The naan was fresh and had that tandoor flavor that I absolutely love. Chicken was tender and juicy! Firni and Mango lassi were perfect. I would say service wise it was ok. There were 2 main ladies who were taking orders and they did not interact a lot which is ok. The owner came in once and checked in on us. Overall we were happy and satisfied. I would recommend everyone to please visit this place! They do have excellent food! Would love to see them filled in with people

It was basically cheap minced beef wrapped around kebab skewers. I couldn't finish it, and my stomach isn't feeling great tonight. The service was awful. They basically dropped the food at our table, and no one checked on us to see if we needed anything until it was time to pay. The ladies' restroom was flooded with toilet water, which tells me a lot about their hygiene standards. I had a good experience here a couple of years ago, but I would never eat here again or recommend this place to my friends.
