Favorites: Chupan Kebab and Quabili Pallaw Afghan restaurant with Delicious kebabs and stews. The interior design demonstrates Afghan culture. The staff are friendly. Reservation is recommend.

Growing up, the biggest heritage my Afghan grandfather gave me, was food. Afghanistan, located on the silk road between Persia and India, has a delicate and flavourful cuisine, borrowing from both kitchens. Nowhere did i find this delicacy as in Kabul Afghan cuisine. Every dish was as reminiscent of him as it was delicious and came in large generous portions. Honestly i wish I had more space to try some more :) Don't skip the home-made baglava. Its usually too sweet - theirs is just perfect.

Finally visited this place after hearing so much about it and it exceeded my expectations! First of all, plenty of parking spaces. Second of all, very nice interior design choices, reflect the cuisine very well in my opinion. Thirdly, the service and the food were both outstanding! The menu looked so nice I could not choose for a while but did decide on the combination or lamb and salmon kebab. The rice, the bread, the meat, the appetizer were all 10/10. Will be back and highly reccomend!

Traditional Afghan fare with some family twists like the eggplant or potato pakura w yogurt and lamb sauce toppings, soooo good. The lamb, chicken and koobideh kebabs are all excellent and their brown rice is fragrant and flavorful. The family that runs it are very sweet and nice and all their staff are attentive and friendly. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sanaz Deldar · Apr 2025

We visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago, and overall it was a good experience. We tried two different types of kebabs, qabli pulao, and a lamb stew. The qabli pulao was really great—flavorful and well-prepared. The lamb stew was also delicious and had a rich taste. Unfortunately, the kebabs were disappointing. The beef kebabs were tasteless and not enjoyable, and the lamb kebab wasn’t any better. They lacked flavor and juiciness, which was a letdown. All in all, I might go back for the qabli pulao and the lamb stew, but I’ll definitely avoid the kebabs next time.
