Amazing Afghan cuisine! We went here for dinner and were left stuffed by the delicious delicacies! Pros: 1. Welcoming staff. 2. Great decor and ambiance. 3. Fantastic tasting kabobs!

Really great food, fair prices, and really accommodating to our group of slow diners who like to sit and chat while drinking lots and lots of water. I had the vegetarian pumpkin entree (challaw kadu) and it was really tasty-- the pumpkin was soft and cooked wonderfully, and the yogurt sauce was delicious. There wasn't a whole lot of complexity...

The service here was very good. They were so attentive that it felt like I was the only customer even though the place was pretty busy.I had the Kadu and the Kabul Combo Kabab. The kadu was such an interesting combination of flavors. Pumpkin with yogurt and meat sauce sounded strange but it was really good. The kababs were perfectly... More

I had never before experienced Afgan cuisine so this was quite nice, however as I'm a pescetarian the choices where somewhat restricted, and the flavors were ok butnot superb.

I never had great afghan food before, but everything here was wonderful. All was moist and flavorful, ranging from the appetizer to each and every dish. The only thing I'd avoid is the desert.

Ate here with a colleague on a recent trip to NASA Ames and was pleasantly surprised. In a word, if you like Indian style fare, what you will get here is delicious. I can only hope I have the chance for a return in the future. Good service, large selection, all expertly prepared. It's a very busy place for good... More

Look past the strip mall location and the decor. The food is great. Service was quick. Prices were reasonable. Servings were huge. Try it!

Just loved the restaurant! Decor is nice without being overdone, service is excellent (my tea seemed to refill itself). Mid-week was not busy for dinner, so it was quiet and enjoyable. Pumpkin dish with yogurt was fabulous, appetizer Mantu the best I've had, and the other lamb-based dish was nicely seasoned and tender. The afghani tea was so flavorful, really... More

We decided to check out this restaurant and what a delight! You walk in to tablecloths and sparkling clean decor. The atmosphere is first class and not like Dishdash where we ate a few days prior. The food was unreal! The guys raved over the lamb kabob and the ladies over the chicken kabob. I was addicted to the pumpkin!... More

Some friends took us here for the first time. We've lived in the area for 20+ years, never noticed this place. They need some advertising, or something, because it's terrific. Excellent food, great service. Get reservations, the place fills up quickly, and is busy every night. Lamb is terrific, the vegetarian dishes are great, even for meat lovers, we haven't... More
