★★★★★ 5.0 Arun Subramanian · Oct 2025

If I remember right, when Aban Kitchen first opened, they didn’t have many vegetarian options, so we never got a chance to try it back then. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they now have a separate vegetarian section on the menu. We went later in the evening, so it wasn’t very busy, and the staff were very friendly. We tried the Shakshuka, Falafel Plate, and their tea and everything was delicious! It’s a great spot for vegetarians in Carbondale.

A gem! If you are within two hours and not even hungry, make a detour and stop here for food. You won't be disappointed Authentic yummy food. Everything we had here were top notch, really tasty, authentic spices. The slow cooked roast lab is really good, one of the best I have ever had, tying with the roast lamb at stephos in Vancouver, BC. The karak team is perfectly sweet and spicy. The baklava is just full of flavor, the flavors keep bursting in your mouth. The restaurant looks popular with the locals, gets busy quick during dinner time. Friendly staff!

This place is amazing!! The best Chai I’ve ever had; and the lamb is SO GOOD and the clay oven bread is a must! The staff is also very friendly and kind! Also, make sure you sit in the side room where you can sit on the floor with cushions, the only way to experience this place!

Our food was delicious. The clay oven bread and hummus were items I would get again and again! Server was very nice and attentive and gave great recommendations. Everything was fresh, hot and the servings were large. 5 stars!
