Really good spot. Just had one lunch here for a vegan meal, based on that the Highlights are their fantastic bread, cauliflower was pretty good, spinach rice was nice. Their complementary soup was very soothing - delicate flavor. And salad was nice. A lot of food for one lunch special! Overall I'd come here again if I'm in the area. read more

The food is bland and since there aren't a lot of nearby competitors so people may feel different. The servers and management is rude and arrogant. When my husband questioned them about pricing for a large party order they accused him of being more concerned with his wallet. Needless to say we did not have a good experience. read more

Great experience! I WISH I COULD GIVE MORE THAN 5 STARS. The atmosphere at Silk Road is just very welcoming. We were a party of two and they took care of us right away. Ray and Ahmed suggested their natural juice, which I ordered their mix juice (carrot and orange). Let me tell you, you can taste the freshness and natural sweetness in every sip. For appetizer we ordered the house hummus which comes with their oven clay cooked bread! THEIR BREAD IS A MUST HAVE! We followed our dinning experience by ordering the Soltani Kabob- a double combo of lamb and shami kabob (ground beef), this plate is served with your choice of rice (we ordered Ladam Palaw (Green Rice)), lentil soup (very tasty) and their amazing salad, THE BEST (hands down). I couldn't lick the plates just as a manner of dinning out at this restaurant but I had to hold myself. To finish up this experience, we had to try their baklava. OMG! The layers of the fillo on top were crunchy enough to enjoy the bottom that was moist enough to not let me stop having another bite. I've tried this dessert in many places but its always too sweet that I can't finish it. NOT THIS TIME! I am definitely coming back and I definitely recommend everyone to come and try it out. read more

Wonderful Afghan experience! Delicious food served by lovely waitstaff who are very glad to help. The food is authentic Afghani cuisine. Try the dumplings with lentil sauce to start they are so light they melt in your mouth. The bread comes fresh baked and is amazing.. Entrees come with a choice rice they'll accommodate you and allow you to try more than one if you can't decide. Be careful the red sauce is hot, the white yogurt based is refreshing and the green mint/cilantro based chutney is tangy. The portions are generous. The come with a house salad a small portion of soup. Go in a group and share a few appetizers and entrees.. read more

Silk Road - Comfort Food Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

The food here is SOOOOOOOOOOO great! Order the hummus. The only -- and yes only -- yet significant setback is the service. I have been here twice. The first time (two years ago), the place was not busy, as it was a weeknight. It took them 30 minutes to seat us. I was here for the second time this evening and it felt like we were invisible once we were seated. 20 minutes before anyone took our order. The meals came out before the hummus, which we ordered as an appetizer. Another 20+ minutes before we were able to get the check. We finally had to flag down a bus person. It took another eternity for someone to take our credit card. Yowch! Seriously, the food is GREAT. Please work on the service. read more

This place is an institution in Warren. Great food & service (family run business). I have only been here a few times during lunch and dinner, but every time the food has been great. I had the salmon kabab, which was amazingly tender and properly cooked (with crispy skin to boot!), and you can choose from 4 different rice (I recommend you try each at least once). If you're not sure, the staff is always helpful (sometimes the owner will give you advice too). The meal always starts with lentil soup, salad and a freshly baked naan bread -- hot off the oven. Lunch is cheaper, but dinner has more choices. read more

This was a first for me, but the Silk Road is definitely a decent place to eat out. The selection isn't spectacular, per se, but I love the rice selection with the kebab and the side salad and bread is to die for. I only have an issue with the lamb kebab I ordered (#14) in that one side of the meat was nearly burnt, and the other side was sticky... Yeah. The place is in a wonderful, quaint little square filled with a bunch of other fusion restaurants, so just for that it's a great place to visit. Silk Road has a nice, rich comely feeling from the inside, even if the outside doors had me wondering about the authenticity of the place. Just a point, though: You really don't need to order appetizers when you get a loaf of bread and a serving of rice on top of a genuine portion of meat (or vegetarian options) read more

Very tasteful but the amount of food was very small for the amount paid: $30 for 2 very small pieces of lamb, filet mignon & chicken, two scoops of rice and 1/2 cup of salad. This was a 1/2 portion for one person. read more

Love! Love! Love! This little gem In Warren serves afghani food at its authentic best. Really happy with this place and will return many times. read more

The BEST!! If you haven't been then your missing out The bread! The food! The service! Have I mentioned the food??!!! Run don't walk and enjoy some of the most delicious food Warren has to offer- You'll thank me! read more

Food is delicious! Friendly staff and good service. Loved the beef filet, ground lamb, and option to substitute rice with their veggie selections. The salad and fresh warm bread is also very delicious as well. Highly recommended! read more

Food, service, ambiance is five star. Seating is not crowded. Presentation of food is superb. Food is fresh, served in warm plates.

Ordered mantu and gustafan kabobs. Although not very innovative, it tasted very good. I don't think this place is worth coming back to since I can imagine what the rest of the menu items tasted like after ordering these two entrees. read more

Wonderful Afghan restaurant with delicious food and service. The venue is beautiful and ornate which is perfect for a date night or large party. My favorite is the naringe palaw. They are very accommodating with take out as well. read more

I highly recommend this place for vegetarians. Even though there aren't as many vegetarian options, they are very accommodating. I ended up getting falafel and the green rice. The yogurt that comes on the side reminds me of Halal guys's white sauce. Their salad is tasty and the soup as well. read more

This place was recommended by a client of mine and I am so glad we tried it! Amazing food and amazing quiet dining room. The hummus was smooth and creamy the bread is to die for. Comes out hot and fresh so good! I had the filet kabob with two types of rice and it was cooked perfectly and so tasty! Definitely can't wait to go back read more

First off, let me say this is not the first time I've had Afghan food. If you've ever tried Kabab Paradise in Bound Brook or Parsippany, think of Silk Road as the refined version of their food. (Don't get me wrong, the food is great at both restaurants!) I've been to Silk Road a few times for their lunch specials with my coworkers. The restaurant is spacious with multiple dining rooms filled with unique decor representing the culture. Every time we've visited, there's been plenty of staff on hand. However, it seems like each table doesn't have a designated server so often times we've had to flag down a random server to ask for a refill or for our check (which is a bit of a hassle during a 1 hr lunch break). Also note that kitchen cook times can sometimes be slow depending on what you order and how busy they are. Now onto the food - on your table, you are offered an array of traditional sauces....try everything, especially on the delicious, crusty, Afghan bread they serve to you! My #1 go to dish for lunch is the mantu special with the rice with raisins and carrots. The classic Afghan rice with raisins and carrots is a delicious balance of sweet and savory. The mantu - a perfectly made Afghan version of a dumpling with beef and spices! If you're not in the mood for beef, you have to try the Murgh Kofta Kabob! The chicken is always well marinated, tender, and juicy! I've ordered it a few times now and Silk Road has consistently cooked the chicken perfectly! Looking to try an alternative rice rather than the classic with raisins and carrots? Try the Naringe Palaw rice - the blend of pistachios/almonds and orange flavor is so incredibly unique and delicious. This restaurant was such a great find, highly recommended! OH and it's BYOB :) read more

First the Brits, then the Soviets, followed by the Taliban, now the Americans. After trying Afghan food, I know why everyone keeps invading Afghanistan. Because I'd totally invade this restaurant again. My wife teaches up the road at the local high school and just found this place searching for "food" here on good old Yelp. Craving a date night, we went, and oh man, we were happy. A note on finding the place: it's inside a sort of upperclass enclosed strip mall, so just pull in at 41 Washington Blvd. Trust me. That is, pull in after you head down the road to the strip mall with Rite Aid and get a nice bottle of wine. Anyway, we were without a reservation and it was about a 15-minute wait. I went to get the wine and the wife was seated just as I got back in. The menus are a bit limited but it's got good stuff. We started out with the mantu and were in freaking love. I mean, there was textural goddamn interplay at work there - this is what chefs aspire to in fancy-ass dishes. The bread was a nice fresh semi-tandoori thing that was thick, tear-away-able and made for sopping. The wife had a dish of okra in light tomato sauce, and I had a dish of lamb in a lentil sauce. Oh. My. Sweet. Lord. These were amazing dishes, and my words alone can't describe 'em. There was some kind of unique, full spicing that made it all so wonderful. They brought out a chicken dish to me instead of the lamb that I ordered, but the waiter was beyond apologetic and they expedited out a replacement. It was handled smoothly and gracefully, like a pro should. Good show despite the mistake - happens to the best of us, it doesn't affect our experience. You can see the roots of Indian food in there, without the heavy curriness. Which is great, but sometimes you don't want that much curry, y'know? We shared a dessert - custard without eggs, with tons of cardamom in there. My wife said it taested like Christmas, but that's just because a Norwegian Christmas dessert has lots of cardamom in it. Don't listen to her. It tastes like FREAKING AWESOME. It came out to around $52 before tip. BYO. read more

Every once in a while you run into a restaurant that's special. You know, the type of place that makes you think you've left the sometimes hectic and cold world and entered a different realm - or maybe just a different country. A place that's family owned and operated, where the staff is warm and friendly and where the food is exceptional. This place is Silk Road. Entering the restaurant you are transported from the Warren outside to a wonderful Afghani outpost where the hosts are there to ensure your brief respite from the world is as magnificent as they can make it. I've been several times to dine in and take out and have never been disappointed. The lentil soup is as good as lentil soup gets. Make sure you try the appetizers. I'm partial to the cadu bholani and my wife loves the ashak so much that she must have at least two orders of it anytime we go. The entrees are also fantastic and the portions are very healthy. Regardless of which meat I choose, I almost always get the superb naringe palaw rice. The flavor of the orange combined with the Afghani magic they add is heavenly. I could write more but nothing I could say could convey how wonderful Silk Road is. Sitting there reading reviews is just delaying your experience. Jump in your car and go get a fantastic taste (literal and figurative) of Aghanistan. read more

Ok, first things first. I'm not middle eastern but I have eaten at plenty of middle eastern/,meditteranean cuisines etc...etc..., Turkish, Afhan, Lebanese, Greek. My favorite of all is Lebanese, in general Lebanese people can cook their asses off and it almost feels as if they are naturally good at it. That said, the family that owns Silk Road are just absolutely lovely people. I've been to Pakistan and have eaten some of the best kabobs I've had in my life there, mainly because the meats were organic and not bred from giant meat production farms as its done in the US. That said the kabobs from Silk Road are cooked to perfection, all the food was executed to a very high degree. I usually joke and try to write something witty in my reviews. The review that I'm doing is for Silk Road is very solemn. The restaurant by my NYC born and bred, son of a restaurant owner in the West Village that has served Kennedy's and WWF wrestlers is that Silk Road is the best Afghan/Middle Eastern Restaurant/Restaurant in general within a 30 minutes radius from where I live. This is without equivocation. The rice was cooked to perfection, the kabobs were perfect, the baklava as per my fiance was the best my fiance's ever eaten, the portions were more than generous, the hummus was great, the bread magnifico...oh my, the bread... The bread was very unique, underneath, their bread was naan like!!! But the top of the bread was pefectly light and crisp almost like the roti/puri bread that is served to you with a curry dip at Malyasian restaurants. The salad you can eat all day, its not a miraculous salad, but the kind of salad that won't offend anyone. There's only one type of dressing, you get the afghan sala and you're just content eating it. Its very homey. The soup they serve as an intro at the beginning of the meal is a spicy lentil soup. Its lentil soup with a kick. Soooooo goood! The dumplings with chives or scallions/onions are just out of this world. Everything is good here and I hope that it is an example of restauranteurs who open a restaurant and can stand up proudly and can say that the food we serve here can stand on its own with any restaurant anywhere. All in my backyard and a short 15 minute drive. Wow. What more can I say? PS they're catering our international themed Christmas dinner this year for our families. read more

It was my first time meeting my boyfriend's mom and she suggested to dine here. This restaurant is definitely a nice place to bring someone in town, for a special occassion, or just family dining. The restaurant has these nice chandeliers that set the mood - romantic and classy. On a Saturday night, this place was packed. After dining here, I know realize why its such a favorite with the locals. 1. BYOB - no corkage fee. 2. Great Staff - courteous, generous, and accomodating. For one of our apps, we were supposed to get 6 dumplings. We wanted to try the two different types of dumplings so they just gave us 4 of each on a plate. 3. Pretty good food & amount of food for the price. We ordered the following: Appetizers: 1. Hummus and 2. Aghan Bread and 3. Dumplings - Ashak (favorite appetizer) and Mantu. Entrees: We did a combo of lamb, chicken, and ground beef. It comes with a choice of rice and the Mediterranean Salad and 1 aghan bread. We wanted to try out the different types of rice and so the waiter was able to give us half saffron (Naringe Palaw) and half blended spinach rice (Ladam Palaw). The Saffron rice is nice and sweet. Also they give you yogurt and other sauces on the side. Don't worry about ordering yogurt. read more

Food is delicious but pricey! It's listed as a moderate ($$), it should be listed as pricey ($$$), mainly because of it's location. I went there with my family for dinner. We were served few items that were complimentary: Lentil soup: It was good but not the greatest lentil soup. Salad: Excellent salad, probably one of the best salad in a afghani restaurant. Bread: Amazing, it was fresh out of the tandoor (oven). Let's move onto the entree's that we all ordered: Murgh Kabob (chicken kabob) Choopan Kabab (lamb chops) Combination #1 (lamb, chicken and shami kabob) Ghusfan Kabob (chunks of lamb) All of these entree's were very delicious and can probably go head to head with any Afghani restaurant out there. However, due to it's shear location, the items on the menu for dinner are very pricey compared to other Afghani restaurants. Also, the amount paid for the food didn't match up with the portion we were served. We all felt like we could've gotten more food for the price we paid. This is a great restaurant with great ambiance, good service and great food. One major flaw is that it is a bit pricey and the portion's are a bit light. Since we don't live around the area, we probably won't be coming back, otherwise it is great food if you can afford it. read more

This place is great! The food is full of flavor. My favorite dish is the Lamb and Beef patties served over the spinach rice. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for delicious food. read more

When I used to work in the Warren/Basking Ridge area, I made sure I came to this spot at least once or twice a week for lunch. The food here is absoultely amazing. Their lunch menu features a complimentary afghan bread - hot, white, and fresh from the oven - lentil soup, and a small plate of salad to accompany your main meal. I always have their chicken murgh korma with spinach rice. The chicken is soft and easily falls of the bone, adequetly spiced, with the right amount of curry thickness. Another favourite of mine are their kabobs, served juicy and tender. If you are spice afacando like me, try their hot sauce to light up your meal. Word of caution - you might fall asleep after all this delicious food so I highly recommend their shir chai, a smooth, rich and creamy tea. The Silk Road is a rare gem Warren, if not Jersey itself. It gets my 5 stars! read more

Wonderful restaurant to get Aghani food!! The lunch special was a real deal - large portions of bread, soup, salad, rice and an entree for mostly under $15. The food itself was really flavorful and yummy (especially liked the korma), and the service was very intimate and thoughtful. There is some outdoor seating in the courtyard as well. Would highly recommend! read more

While Silk Road is not visible from the road, that doesn't stop anyone from going there, the place was busy unlike any of the other businesses in the complex. This restaurant serves authentic afghan food. Whether you are a fan of that type of food or not you will enjoy this place. The food taste fresh and you can tell it's a family business bc they care about the product and service they are putting out. I had the combo kabob which was lamb chicken and beer and it was served with rice. That plus one appetizer for the table was just enough food me. The salad that comes with the meal is also a tasty cucumber tomato salad. You won't be disappointed here. read more

Silk Road - Combo kabob - Comfort Food Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. Walked in around 6 on a Sunday evening with 2 others and were seated immediately. Our waiter was very attentive and took the time to describe dishes from the menu. Here's what we ordered: Ashak: Dumplings are nothing new but what ,ade these special were the spices that made the filling pop and the yogurt sauce that complemented it. must try! Ghusfan Korma (lamb on the bone) with Kabli PalawL maybe we overlooked the menu description but we had specially ordered it because we wanted something on the bone. To our surprise when it came, there were no bones on the lamb! Just small cubes of it. Nevertheless, the meat was seasoned wonderfully. And the rice side with raisins and carrots were a standout. rice is superb and a must try! As for the lamb, get it if you don't want it on the bone. Mahi Kabob with Naringe Palaw: huge cubes of salmon- very good. Preferred the Kabli Palawl over Naringe Palaw just because Naringe was a little too sweet. Gulpi: Very good. The cauliflower is cooked til soft so get it if you like your veggies soft. All the entrees came with a side salad and lentil soup and fresh bread. The soup and bread were very good as well. Overall, the food here is delicious and you get a lot for the price. Definitely worth the trip if you're looking to try something different! read more

Went here with a few girlfriends for dinner one night. We each got a different type of kebab - chicken, filet, and salmon. All three were delicious! The bread they give you with your meal is also fresh and tasty! A must have (even if you are trying to limit your carbs!) All three of us were also huge fans of all of the sauces on the table - especially the green and white - they pair well with everything! Service was good. The only reason for 4 stars is that it is a bit pricey. But I would still recommend eating here! read more

I can't say enough for this place except that I wish I'd found it sooner. We were immediately greeted warmly, seated and welcomed by two servers who stopped by one after the other, offering water and menu suggestions. I tried the beef kabob with naringe palaw, which gave me oddly giddy flashbacks to the first time I experienced ridiculously delicious basmati rice when trying Indian food. Beef was cooked perfectly - juicy, tender. Mediterranean style salad was a nice compliment. We had the elephant ear for dessert - flaky, sweet and entirely worth it. To sum up this meal: unexpectedly flavorful, fresh, delicious food from start to finish. Rating: WOW. read more

It is a bit dark inside, especially as we were having Christmas lunch. And empty. (Though they were expecting 100+ for dinner.) We sat near a window to allow our older companions an easier way to read the menu. I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be sooo good. Lentil soup starter was interesting, and quickly devoured. Afghan salad was a pretty standard cucumber affair, though good. Bread very tasty. Highlight are the rice sides. I had the Kabil Palow, and my friends had the Naringe Palaw and Ladam Palow. We all had different kebabs and steaks. All very good. Enjoying my leftovers tonight. Would definitely make sure to return to Silk Road again! (Point deducted for the weird bathroom and the staff pulling out a vacuum multiple times during our time eating.) read more

Hidden Gem. This BYOB family owned restaurant is probably one of my fave places to eat of all time. Whether it's lunch or dinner, you can count on a very fresh and delicious meal from the most friendly and attentive staff. Kabobs are so tasty and their Naringe Palaw rice is out of this world. I hear the lamb chops are yummy. First date ? Silk Road - the ambiance is perfect - ask for a table in the nook by the window. Family dinner ? Silk Road - they will make you feel like you're part of their family. Business lunch ? Yup, bring em here. No matter the occasion - this is the place to be. I am not easily swayed and do not Yelp much but I feel Silk Road deserves an outstanding rating. I do try and come here at least once a week for lunch with my friends and colleagues - it's always a treat - never disappointed. It's not just for locals y'all. Near or far it's worth the drive!! read more

Silk Road one of the finest Afghan restaurants in Jersey! Delicious and fresh always. If I'm ever in the area, I always make sure to stop in. Their lunch menu features a complimentary afghan bread - hot, white, and fresh from the oven - lentil soup, and a small plate of salad to accompany your main meal. The service is fantastic, as the ambiance. Silk Road offers a true Afghan cuisine experience with an authentic feel. read more

I have been to Silk Road twice now and I plan on coming back again and again! Unique and delish. Two words to describe the place if you want the short of it. And now for the long... Both times I have been, we are greeted with a bowl of lentil soup to snack on while you look over the menu. SO GOOD! You always feel welcome by the staff. It is a family run place, so you know all the recipes are genuine. The first time I got the lamb chunks - amazing! I love lamb and my boyfriend is not a fan...even he said it was great! The second time I got a dish that had a tomato base broth type sauce. I expected it to be different than it came out, but I was delightfully surprised when my dish arrived, especially by the taste of the it. Had a couple apps both times, all amazing and a dessert as well. I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. It makes for a great meal! Good for groups or a date! read more

I've been in this restaurant countless times and it never disappointed me. From the food, crew and cleanliness of the place. If you are an adventurous foodie like me you will enjoy the dishes they serve. My favorite is the lamb shank and soltani kabob with narinj rice. Of course not to forget the freshly baked flat bread, fresh salad and soup that would warm your soul. There's a variety of choices for meat lovers, vegetarians and for those who just want to indulge. But dieters beware, portions are huge! You might want to ask for a take out box before you start, to save yourself from eating all of it. Anyway, left overs are still delish. Ah, save room for desserts and tea...Decadent :9 Before you go, ready your taste buds and make sure you come with an empty stomach ready to be filled with wonderful cooking. read more

Lunch only! Great for the lunch specials comes with free bread and cucumber salad - delish! Been here a few times and have ordered something different, never disappointed. Overall because it's lunch and I head back to work afterwards I'm okay that the meal portions are smaller. Chapli (beef and lamb kabobs) - yummy Chicken tandoori - standard stuff Fried Tilapia filt - Ok Angus kabobs - pretty good lamb shank - yummy There are three sauces - alllll so good. No idea what is its, but boy oh boy I drip n drop all of that all over the bread, salad and my meal. So good! Definitely worth a visit! read more

Silk Road was my first Afghan restaurant, so take my impressions with a large grain of salt. Slow but nice service is rewarded with tasty, not-overly large portions of food. Afghan food sort of reminded me of a mix of Indian and Persian foods, and that assessment is probably offensive to all 3 cultures (sorry). The fun part is that you get to pick a special rice when you order; our table ended up getting all 4 varieties, and they all were tasty to me (although some were sweeter than others, so pick accordingly). Would recommend your coming here for lunch, as the portions are the same as dinner, but at half the price. Easy parking in a large shopping plaza parking lot. read more

This place is so amazing. It's unique, romantic, and delicious. My wife and I drove for 40 minutes through a snow storm to eat here on our 6 year anniversary. It was well worth it. The dinner prices make this more of an occasional, rather than frequent, kind of restaurant. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian options. She had the vegetarian ashak dumplings, which were very good. I had the murgh kafta kabob, which is ground chicken with excellent spices. We both recommend the naringe palaw, which is rice cooked with saffron, pistachios, almonds, and orange peels. One reviewer mentioned that it was too sweet. I think it balanced the bitter peels and salty kabob perfectly. The peppermint chai leaves something to be desired, but the shir chai is one of the best teas I've ever had. We ended our meal with firni, which is an egg-less custard with pistachios. Highly recommended. read more

Believe the hype over this great restaurant. Silk Road is conveniently wedged into an awkwardly small strip mall among other low-end international fares, but this place stood out. The interior is beautifully decorated with afghan garb, dark reds contrasting blacks and whites, and very nice furniture. The staff were all very courteous and competent with all our requests. The service at the table was very good. Our waiter was quick to explain all of the pronunciations, the dishes, and how they come, as well as food pairings. He was prompt with bringing out our appetizers as well. The dinner comes with a complementary bowl of soup, chopped salad, and flatbread. Ours was a tasty split leek soup which tasted like it had couscous blended into it, but still light. The salad was very tasty, consisted of chopped green vegetables, tomatoes, and herbs in a light garlic/cilantro dressing, and the flatbread was hot and fresh out of the oven. I ordered a stewed chicken dish with spicy tomato sauce. The chunks of chicken literally fell off the bone and went great with a tasty sweet rice which was made with orange rinds and steamed pistachios. Overall it was a great experience at a good price ($25 per person including 2 shared appetizers), and everything was delicious and fresh. I will definitely come back for more! read more

High on prices but very low on quality and quantity of food. We used to enjoy the food here few years ago so ordered 3 Veg and 1 mixed grill platter recently. Veg food extremely bland, mixed grill platter had 6 meat pieces. Not worth the high price. read more

Besides a slight mix-up with our reservation, dinner here was an absolute pleasure. The prices are a bit more than I've paid for Afghani food in the past, but with their location, I guess this is to be expected. The decor makes you feel like you're sitting in someone's dining room, and the food tasted like it was really home cooked, no muss no fuss, in the best way possible. All in all, a great experience. I loved everything we had and would recommend it: Dogh (a salty mint yogurt drink) Vegetarian Ashak, the lentils were great and the dumpling dough was light and soft Stuffed grape leaves, seasoned just right Afghan salad, had a lot of flavor for a salad Lamb chunks with the Naringe pulaw (that rice is soooo good I dream about it, it was a bit too sweet for my date though, be warned) Murgh Kofta kabob with the Ladam Palaw Rice pudding Yum! read more
