    Mantu (beef dumpling)

    Mazar is hands down one of our favorite restaurants. The food is made to order and always delicious.

    If speed is your game, this place is not for you if you're in a rush! The food took a little while to come out but it's worth the wait. While you wait for your food you are entertained by the tv playing music videos and the great interior design of Mazar Kabob! You get a lot of food for the price you pay, and the food tastes pretty good so I have no complaints there.

    Boneless Chicken Lunch Platter
    Jeff M.

    Had a great experience at this restaurant! I got the boneless chicken kabob lunch special. Really enjoyed everything that came in the platter. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The veggies had some good seasoning to it. Really also liked the rice and bread that came with this platter. Also got spinach as a side for this dish, and it was decent. I was particularly impressed by the value of this platter. This lunch special cost $10, and if you weren't very hungry, you could probably split it with another person. So, excellent value! Overall, the food at this restaurant was delicious and I highly recommend trying this place out.

    Stopped by for lunch. We were blown away with how wonderful the food was! Fresh authentic Afghan cuisine! The customer service was warm and friendly. Truly felt as if we were family! If love kabob you definitely want to try this place. You will not regret it!

    Lunch special bone in chicken
    I C.

    Holy cow! Come here for lunch!!!! Their Lunch specials are amazing. I got the bone in chicken lunch special and it was 10$!!! Food was made to order, so it's not going to come out quick. Don't come here if ur in a hurry. But it was sooo much food. The bread was amazing (chewy and crunchy) also made to order and bigger than ur head! If you are picky or have too many questions then don't bother since I don't think they speak English very well.

    The chicken kabob was so juicy and delicious the flavors and seasoning really hit the spot! And the chefs were kind, they even gave free soup to people waiting.

    Fun seating area!

    If you're looking for authentic, delicious, flavor and fresh food, Mazar Kabob is the place! I ordered the boneless chicken kabob platter with chickpeas. My husband and I are always on the hunt for a good kabob spot and this is the best I've had in a long time! I will definitely come back to try different items from the menu. Staff is super friendly and my friend and I sat at the fun seating area. They have regular seats as well but it was fun to try something different. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

    The best restaurant with the kindest and hardest working staff I have ever experienced. Thank you very much.

    For delicious Afghan food in a colorful, authentic environment, this is THE place. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable.

    A very authentic and clean place. The hospitality of the cashier was welcoming. The food is authentic, if you are in the mood for an authentic Afghan food without the influence of spices from other countries please give this place a try. I've had almost everything on the menu and each time the food has been great. This is my go-to place for authentic Afghan food.

    Great portion, very tasty! I love this place.

I also got an extra garlic sauce on the side... just love. Until next time.

    I feel like I found a favorite near us. It's not one of those places where I would travel to, but…read moreif you're relatively close to Urbana, it's worth a stop. It's a small mart that specializes in middle eastern Mediterranean cuisine and ingredients. They place does not have seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. So plan on either take out or picnicking. They make the food right as you order so things are fresh. The part I really liked about this place was that the sauces were not overly salted - to increase shelf life - and the amount of oil/butter was not overly used to try to mask the ingredients. It's more on the "let the ingredients speak for itself" which I really dig. In the end, you don't feel heavy after the meal and you feel like you had a hearty and healthy meal. My favorite was the lamb shawarma. He toasts the outside pita and it gives it a nice crunch. The lamb is fresher than other places and he doesn't over season it to hide the lamb smell. Other places - if you notice - tends to use cumin a lot of mask the lamb smell. Not here though. The falafel sandwich was okay. It was colder than the lamb shawarma. But the falafels were made right there in front of you. I got the sujuk sandwich too (which is a type of sausage). It was a breakfast burrito basically. Our order took 20 mins to make and he makes it right when you order. So be prepared to stay there and peruse around. Some ingredients there were interesting. The one thing that caught my eye was a bottle of pomegranate molasses. He sells it close to 50% what Harris Teeter would charge and he has various brands of pomegranate molasses. I use pomegranate molasses to make grenadine for cocktails. Also has orange blossom and rose water (also both used for cocktails) I like this place and the guy is nice and sweet.

I first tried the assorted kebabs. Unfortunately, the chicken had dried out and the kofta felt too crumbly. The chicken rice dish had quite aromatic rice but underseasoned chicken; seasoned rice alone can't substitute bland chicken drumsticks. The lamb rice dish had both aromatic rice and juicy, well seasoned lamb. I ended up combining the lamb pieces with the chicken rice. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece of their fried chicken. It proved juicy and not too oily. It would do well as a standalone appetizer in most restaurants. I also tried something that looked like lasagna, but without tomato. It tasted, to my uncultured palate, like a lasagna with some sort of cream or bechamel-like sauce. I quite enjoyed it. For dessert, my friend convinced me to try what I had initially passed over as oatmeal or tapioca pudding. The Omi Ali proved quite delectable, like a cross between bread pudding and oatmeal but with more nuanced spices and sweetness. I added it to my short list of desserts I enjoy, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Overall, I appreciated the breath and variety. Some hits and misses are to be expected at a homely, ethnic neighborhood style buffet.

The floor buzzes with staff and families giving the whole dining room a lively energy. The group had a few picky eaters that got their own dishes, but for the cool kids we shared the Gilani Kebab platter which came with prawns, chicken, lamb; ya, a little bit of everything and was perfect for sharing. The grilled/charred flavor showed through on top of rice and fresh herbs. We also got the whole roasted branzino, cause, who's not up for the challenge. Served in a pistachio citrus sauce over rice, it was very lightly flavored and succulent. The Tahdig did not disappoint, perfectly crisped rice, beautiful color and good flavor! A few dings because the cocktails (and all the drinks) come out very slowly (bar is probably under-staffed) and everything need juuuuuust a little more omff flavor wise. I'm a huge fan of Persian cuisine and the DMV is no slouch here so color me spoiled. The bill is also on par with being neighbors with a Tiffany's; so if you can get your boss to treat you, then go in!!
