Mix Platter
Punga I.

Good ambiance and atmosphere. Nice decorations. A bit overwhelming but if you have ever gone to a Shinwari place in Pakistan, this would feel home. Service folks albeit new, are very friendly and nice. Overall no complaints. Food however, after being there now three times, is rather average. All three times we ordered platter which comes with a lot of meat but really lacks the taste. Chicken Karahi is ok. Chapli kababs are the best item in the platter. Naan is perfect and authentic. Desserts need work. Thoothi is rather dry. Zarda is okayish. Overall a good addition to the food scene. Nice location and plenty of parking. But I am struggling to give anything above three stars. Keep improving!

So first things first, atmosphere was immaculate. I loved the decorations and the overall vibe of the place. At first I did think the lights outside were a bit too much, but it did give a warm welcome that is uniquely Desi. My feelings regarding the service are a bit mixed. We were a large group going and they were very accommodating. The host in particular was very welcoming and hospitable and cracking jokes with us. However, I felt the service staff was generally confused. It honestly felt that they needed us to explain many things that I would think are second nature. Just as a small example, when our group asked for napkins we legitimately got only 2 napkins. None of the staff was rude or dismissive, so I believe this stuff can be ironed out with some training, but that training is needed. When it came to the food, again generally, mixed feelings. I personally had the Chicken Karahi, Chicken boti, beef chapli kebab, nihari, walnut halwa, and mango lassi. The mango lassi was alright. The chicken overall tasted very rubbery, the Karahi, tasted like pizza sauce, and the Nihari was incredibly oily. I did not have this dish, but I was also told by the people I was with that the lamb had a smell. It still tasted good, but the smell was noteworthy. I would say the best part of the meal was the naan, and that may sound like a back handed compliment but genuinely this is one of the best naans I have ever had the opportunity of eating. Overall, it's not a bad place to spend an evening, and I am looking forward to how this restaurant pans out in the future. However, I don't think this is going to be go-to for Pakistani cuisines for me.

Food was delivered quickly within 10 minutes of ordering, but was mid for the expensive price point. Perhaps all the decoration and renovation they did caused the food to be priced so high despite the average taste. I ordered the chapli kebab, charasi chicken karahi, and lamb pulao with a mint lemonade. First off, they charge for water which personally I dock a star for. Especially at a pakistani restaurant where food is often spicy, charging for water is a cheap shot. The karahi was large in portion but lacking in developed flavors, I could tell that instead of using fresh tomatoes or crushed they opted for tomato paste. The acidic flavor of the tomato paste made the flavor of the karahi not pleasant. Also the lamb in the pulao was not seasoned with anything and we had 2 raisins in the entire dish unlike the pictures which are more plentiful than in reality. The mint lemonade was odd, they added chaat masala to the drink and it was an unexpected flavor. Finally, card machine would not accept any of my chase cards so ended up charging a discover. While the decor is extraordinary, prices were way too high for the flavor of the food and I will not be coming back.

Afghan Kabob and Grill continues to provide delicious food. I have been coming here for years now…read more The food here is still absolutely amazing.... a flavorful mix of spices. Everything from the Chicken Chapli Kabob, Chicken Gyro Platter, Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Kabob to the fresh made naan is delicious. The hummus is a must try. The prices are still extremely reasonable and the portion sizes are large. The service and staff is also very personable, friendly and full of suggestions. The interior has a casual front side with tables and the back has some booths with some ethnic decor. There are not many Afghan restaurants in the area, but hands down this is one of the best ones I've been too. I definitely plan on continuing to eat here.

This is an update to a prior review. This has been one of our favorite restaurants in the area but…read moreour last visit fell short. We ordered the family platter and a hummus to go. We were told it would take 30-35 minutes, which is fine for cooked to order food. It really wasn't very busy, but the order took 50 minutes. The order was sitting on their counter ready to go, but it appeared they were backed up with making the bread. Once the bread came out, they bagged it up and we were ready to go. They almost forgot to give us the side salad, but they remembered before we left. Now for the food... - The bread that we waited for- was doughy and undercooked. It had burnt pieces stuck to it and they were not shaped as nicely as their usual bread. - The hummus side that we ordered, which was almost $8, was a half filled half pint container (very small amount) of what appeared more like a sauce rather than the thick hummus we are accustomed t. I wouldn't order this again. - The salad was watery...they need to drain the water better - The rice was cold - I think it was sitting out too long - Now for the main event - the meats - we enjoyed the flavor. This saved our dinner, we did enjoy the meats. We called them about the bread and they were apologetic, and told us we can stop by for bread next time we are there. As this is one of my favorite restaurants, I want to give them an opportunity to do better next time! The afghan bread and their rice have alway been my favorite part of their meals! I think it was an off night for them, I'd definitely give them a chance again in the future.

Fantastic meal. Excellent service. They start you with warm…read moreflatbread and 3 sauces. A yogurt, a green sauce that was cilantro and herb based and a very flavorful hot sauce. Perfect start and all very delicious. Next up is their pureed lentil soup, which has incredible depth of flavor and leaves you wanting more. We ordered the mixed hummus plate which comes with more fresh made flatbread. Creamy and delicious. We also ordered falafel which they forgot and we asked the waiter twice about it. In hindsight we shouldn't have reminded him. The falafel was bland and my son compared it to frozen food. This was the only part of the meal that wasn't spectacular. The sauce they served with it was delicious so when the waiter asked if we wanted to wrap up the falafel we said yes and got a side of the sauce to bring home. For dinner I ordered lamb chops and the Naringe rice. My meal was 5 stars all the way. Lamb was cooked perfect and great flavors from the marinade. Naringe Rice was delicious and it has unique flavors from the cranberry and pistachios. A must try. My son got the Veal Qorma which I sampled. We both loved the flavors and how tender the veal was. His meal was served with a nice portion of rice and he opted for the Navinge rice as well. 5 stars all the way. Great atmosphere, friendly service. The manager or owner (not sure) was very friendly and welcoming. He went over the menu with us and answered all of our questions. He made us feel welcome and appreciated. After our meal he thanked us for coming. An outstanding meal overall, skip the falafel. We will definitely recommend and return. And it's a BYO

Really good, authentic and super fresh Mediterranean food. Service was really good too. Pretty…read morechill ambiance inside, nice and relaxed.

I would've thought maybe it was a three all day long but after dinner tonight and getting to meet.Muhamme it was definitely a five and we will absolutely be back. We start off with an appetizer of chicken Samosa and not anything like an Indian Samosa a little bit different and very tasty not greasy, a nice crunch. My wife had the lamb Gyro platter that came with a plate of their rice with carrots and raisins, and a side dish and pita bread and I had the lamb shank platter. The meat on the lamb shank was to die, for it melted right off the bone. It was perfectly cooked. Tenders can be soft as can be tasty as can be a nice shoe of pink on the inside and the sauce that it was in we were dipping the pita bread in it, as well as some of the pieces for my wife's platter, which was also extremely tender very unexpected. Overall, it definitely rings bells for us as another food group that now we have a regular place to go.

Food was really yummy; however, I wish that the ratio of rice to meat was a little more even (i.e I…read morefeel like a little more meat would have been nice). Staff was friendly and it didn't take too long so it was nice. Would definitely order from them again!

I had the mixed lamb and chicken with rice, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The garnish of carrots and raisins on the rice added just the right touch of sweetness and texture--such a beautiful balance of flavor. I also grabbed a side of their kofta kebab, which was tender, rich, and full of bold spices, and paired it all with a refreshing mango lassi that was smooth, creamy, and the perfect way to round out the meal. Every bite was delicious, and the service was just as impressive as the food. If you're looking for a spot that delivers authentic flavor, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, Kebab Paradise is it.
