“Great Afghani food. Seen it at the stop light so I decided to try for dinner. The best Afghani food in Sacramento. I ordred the Combo kaboob plate, salad and hot tea. I normally do not order chicken as most restaurant chicken is dry. All very good! Chicken was not dry. Beef was wonderful rice was very fluffy. Tea was nice and hot!Parking: 4110 Manzanita shopping center left of SafewayCarmichael“

“The food is amazing, delicious and not too over priced. The service is very friendly. Owner Essy and wife Mali are very hospitable. You can ask them anything, and they are eager to assist. I love supporting local businesses especially when they become my favorite!“

“This was a big favorite of ours until it closed during covid and went out of business which we lamented greatly. The new owners have kept the name, most of the decor although we were told today a few changes in that are coming. The menu seems very similar to me and the lamb shank that I was so fond of was just as good. The two friends that went with me today had never been there and they both loved it and can't wait to go back. We all had the lamb shank and the eggplant appetiser.“
“We were looking for an authentic Persian restaurant in the area and Kolbeh did not disappoint! My husband and I brought our 2 little ones with us which always makes me nervous in a fine dining situation but the staff was so friendly with us and kept the little ones entertained with the delicious bread basket while we waited for our food. We got the Soltani and Fesenjan with Bogoli Polo as the rice upgrade and it was DELICIOUS! I barely got to try the Koobideh because my 4 year old and 18 month old devoured it! The Barg was so tender and flavorful and by far my favorite! The Fesenjan was perfect and was completely gone by the end of our dish. The portion sizes are generous and the price is well worth the quality and flavor of the food. We will definitely be back!“
“I think I've eaten at every Persian place in Sacramento by now, as well as a few of the Iraqi and Afghani places, and for sure there is a lot of great kabob and rice to be had at many of these places. I would rate Famous Kabob recently as one of the best. The Koubideh (ground beef) Kabob they serve is nicely cooked, tender, juicy, and the rice is always very good. I think I've been to this restaurant 6 or 7 times by now, and I'd say the quality has improved in the past couple of years. It's definitely a go-to when I need to place group orders for pickup.“
“It was okay. I'd recommend the meat grills, however, which they cook in front of the restaurant. The pictures they have on the menu are not the same esp for the sides. I thought treatment wasn't as friendly towards females at least my experience of it. No ice for drinks.“
