I came here to get something quick to eat before I head home. Restaurant dine in closes 10:30 pm & I arrived alittle after that but they still allowed me to dine in & treated me with great hospitality. When the food arrived , it was amazing. I got the mix tikka with brown rice & salad - a go to dish of mines when eating Afghan cuisine. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are looking for Afghan style cuisine in Long Island. See photo attached of my dish!

Kandahar Grill is truly one of the best places in New York for authentic Afghan food. The flavors are rich, fresh, and full of tradition. Every dish tastes homemade and prepared with love. The kebabs are perfectly grilled juicy and full of amazing spices. The rice is soft and fragrant and the portions are very generous the restaurant is clean, welcoming and the staff are very kind and respectful they make you feel like family from the moment you walk in the prices are also very reasonable,,,, If you are looking for delicious halal food with real authentic taste, Kandahar Grill is definitely worth visiting. I highly recommend it 100% satisfied and HMS zabiah halal food

Kandahar Grill is a great halal spot in Hicksville! We ordered the family platter, and the serving was more than enough for all of us. The food was delicious, and the staff were very nice and helpful throughout our visit. If you’re dining in, they automatically add an 18% tip to the total—but honestly, the service and hospitality deserve it. Definitely worth a visit for generous portions and friendly service.

Restaurant Review: Kandahar Grill – Long Island I recently visited Kandahar Grill on Long Island after seeing a lot of hype about it on Instagram. The posts made it seem like a must-try Afghan/Persian-style restaurant, so I decided to check it out with my wife and our 3-year-old. Ambiance & Wait Time: When we walked in, there was only one family waiting for their food. We placed our order and waited approximately 35 minutes before our food arrived. For a restaurant that wasn’t too busy, that wait time was longer than expected. Food Presentation & Taste: When the food arrived, I have to say it looked great – a solid 4 out of 5 for presentation. However, once we started eating, we were pretty disappointed. The flavor just wasn’t there. The food filled us up, but it didn’t satisfy. It la

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Good Citizen · Jun 2025

After repeatedly seeing Kandahar Grill featured across Instagram with glowing praise and beautifully staged food photos, I felt compelled to visit and experience it for myself. Unfortunately, my visit with my wife (and our toddler, who did not eat) left me thoroughly underwhelmed. Atmosphere & Wait Time: Upon entering, we noticed only a single family waiting for their food — not exactly a bustling dining scene. Despite the calm setting, it took 35 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering, which felt unnecessarily excessive given the low foot traffic. The ambiance was plain, and nothing about the environment enhanced the dining experience. Food Presentation vs. Flavor: Visually, the dishes earned a respectable 4 out of 5 — they were plated nicely and initially gave us hope for a fl
