“ I stop at this restaurant several times a year when driving back and forth between north and south on I-95. The food is amazingly good and well-priced. I took my son last week, and he loved it as well. The chicken soup, pumpkin, bread, biryani, eggplant, rice, saffron tea, and lamb dishes are all outstanding. The use of savory spices like cardamom and clove is perfect. Nice staff. Highly recommend!!!!! ”
“ Friendly staff and delicious food. They even have great vegetarian options if you don't eat meat. ”
“ I love the vegetarian platter (vegan). The food is a bit spicy, we're having trouble choosing our favorite. The eggplant, spinach, pumpkin or chickpeas. The service is so gracious. Clean ”
“ Delicious, unique food! I would love to come back to try out the buffet on Friday-Sunday. Huge restaurant, not many customers. Because of that, it seems like small amount of staffing. Friendly team working though. I definitely recommend checking it out. ”
“ Nice delicious food and nice customer service I recommend this place best Afghani restaurant I love their food ”
“ We visited on a Thursday afternoon after 3pm, shortly after the buffet ended. Oddly enough, we were the only two guest (surely doesn't look like it from the food we ordered... I know) but we love Afghan food! Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. The family sampler consisted of many of our favorites: samosa, chicken/lamb/shami kabobs and more. The qabuli palaw was delicious and took me back to memories of time(s) spent in multiple towns southeast of Charikar in the Parwan Province. The restaurant is spacious, smelled fresh and clean. Although two small groups entered to dine in after we arrived, it appeared most of the patrons were picking up to go orders. This was a first, but definitely not the last visit to Kabul Restaurant & Cafe. Give them a try if you want a taste of authentic Afghan cuisine. ”
“ Really friendly service and professional. Food is real and with flavor and great texture. ”
“ I recently learned about Kabul on Facebook and having a fond affection for Middle Eastern food of all types, I stopped in to try their lunch buffet. They have their lunch buffet on weekdays, which is great, as most places only seem to do this on weekends. First impression when walking in was it was a converted Ruby Tuesday, but WOW, they did an EXCELLENT job from replacing the entire ceiling, flooring, tables/booths and even the window shades, to fully updating the restroom too, they clearly dumped a lot of money and effort into this place and it shows! The buffet looks beautiful, not grimey and messy, rather all food items are in clamshell heated servers, which kept the food fresh and piping hot. The offering was excellent, with a plain rice and a more elaborate rice, called Palau. The Qaubili Palau was incredible! Loaded with fresh ingredients and made with an outstanding quality basmati! The lamb that was in it was super tender and not gamey at all, rather perfectly seasoned and sooo very tasty! They also offered a more plain rice, which was slightly seasoned and also very good! Another fav of mine were their meatballs... they tasted like a mild lamb and were just as tender as that too (not sure if they're lamb tho). Flavor of the curry they were in was excellent! Their chick peas and subzi (spinach) were excellent alternatives for those not wanting meat... I definitely enjoyed a few servings of these!! Chicken kabob was beautiful in color and nicely flavored with a tenderness that was spot-on. Service was friendly and they even sincerely cared how the food was, by asking. I'd definitely suggest stopping in to try it for yourself and I look forward to returning, soon! ”
