A new little restaurant owned by a very nice Jordanian family. Great to find as the food was fresh and very tasty. It is a must-go and they also have a $6.99 lunch special which is very generous of them. This little area of Morton Grove has Mediterranean, Pakistani, Afghanistan, Italian, Filipino and Japanese all on one block!

Lunch special

A local neighborhood that is clean and efficient. Ordered their lunch special which was great $$. Got rice salad gyro meat and kabob. The rice has flavor and the meat was soft and succulent. Yasmin the chef is so kind and friendly! Definitely going to be a favorite carry out place for me although they have minimal seating. Everything to love!

Love this place SO MUCH!…read more Lovely and attentive service, delicious and ample food, great menu options (especially for vegetarian & vegans). Get the baklava!! Parking lot right out front (although it can get crowded).

The atmosphere is nice with indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is atrocious but you can…read morefind nearby street parking. The service left a lot to be desired and unfortunately we thought the reason was racism until we realized there is an automatic 15% gratuity. Started off with a mint lemonade and baba ganoush which came with pita. I wouldn't recommend either of these - the lemonade barely had a hint of mint and the pita was cold and a little stale, even after asking to have it warmed up. The baba ganoush itself was good but you don't really need it unless you're hungry and need an app. The food in main entrees were genuinely very good. Huge portions and everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My only small note is that for the lamb shank platter, i literally got only one potato wedge lol. Otherwise it was all fine. The prices are reasonable! We even got a dessert on the house but unfortunately i'm not sure what it was called (something like baklava) which was good. Overall a good spot but i left regretting the extra tip when our waitress kept forgetting to get little things like a plastic bag for our leftover containers and the receipt despite waiting for 5-10 minutes.

This was one of my first experiences in Afghani cuisine, and it was absolutely excellent. As a…read moredumpling fan, I loved their mantu, particularly the many sauces and toppings they come with. I'm so glad the first time we ordered, I got the main entree version of this. We also ordered for a vegetarian friend who really enjoyed the freshness of their veggies and how delicious their homemade bread was. If you do eat meat, their offerings are really fresh and well seasoned. My partner and I always notice how the chicken kebab in particular is so juicy and tender. Everything always comes out well seasoned and is eaten within a few minutes. We love the meals here. Be sure to be bit flexible when you're ordering at peak hours: this place is popular and often bustling with customers!

Afghan Kabob's subtitle is Authentic Afghanistan Food - I'm not knowledgeable either way, but the…read morefood is pretty tasty! The interior is a lot nicer than it would seem from its strip mall location. The kabobs are seasoned well and have some spice to it. The owner/manager(?) is super friendly, but always hustling. The kabuli palaw is fall-of-the bone tender, definitely should give it a try! I've had dine-in and carry out. They do take care of the carry out. The food is presented nice even after I get it home. I couldn't say it's a hidden gem because a lot of people know about this spot, the dine-in is busy (but not crowded). It's a well-known gem.
