“We went there past Saturday with our family and another family. Food was delicious!! We were all hungry and devouring the food, forgot to take pictures. The food came out in a timely manner after ordering. We ordered veggie appetizer platter, small mix grill, chicken shawarma sandwiches, and lamb shank. Recommend all. Kids and adults enjoyed it. We will be back!“

“Small restaurant located in a Strip Mall, more suitable for Take Out. I picked up the food around evening, and some items were no longer available, but whatever I ordered tasted pretty good. Most of the food seems to get prepared before noon, and that is what you for the rest of day, so be prepared for that if you are planning to go in the evening.“

“Located on Coney Island Ave in Brooklyn, Dunya Kabab House offers an unforgettable journey through Afghani cuisine. Our iftar experience was exceptional, from the seamless reservation process to the outstanding dishes.The Qabuli Pilau was a standout, boasting impeccable flavor and texture. Tender lamb chops and perfectly seasoned Chapli kababs delighted our taste buds. The lamb shank was a highlight, with meat so tender it fell off the bone effortlessly. The hummus was simply divine, with a delightful hint of olive oil that enhanced its rich flavor profile.Dunya Kabab House sets itself apart with bold flavors and expert spice blends, distinguishing it from other Middle Eastern eateries.“

“I was passing by the neighborhood the other night, and needed to grab some food as I was planning on working late. This restaurant showed up on my yelp search and was highly rated so I decided to pop in and give their food a try. The vibe here is mostly takeout, but they do have a few seats if you choose to sit here and enjoy your meal. Interior is very utilitarian, it's a main ordering desk with a salad station and the kitchen in the back. Cashier was friendly and helped me pick from their various menu options and suggested the chicken kebab. I asked for the Afghan rice with it because I am such a huge fan of fried carrots and raisins. Service was pretty quick, I didn't have to wait too long for my food to get ready and they were generous with the side sauces. I found the food really delicious, the topping of carrots was very well done, and the rice was fluffy without being too heavy or greasy, which I liked. The chicken kebab was perfectly cooked, it was not dry and I like the flavors on it although I do think that it could use a little bit more seasoning. For my taste, I did find the kebab a little bit on the bland side. Salad was good and the sauces complemented the meal very well. The white sauce was creamy without being too heavy and the red sauce was a good consistency and appropriately spicy. If you are in the neighborhood, come through and give this place a shot, they are definitely dishing out some amazing food.“

“Amazing service at Sami’s Kabab House LIC!! Me and my friends (group of 5) came here after class to break our fast during Ramadan and it was such an amazing experience. Service was courteous, fast, and excellent, we were seated immediately and given refreshments. We got the family combo, and each bite was perfection. Every kebab, especially the chicken tikka and lamb shank was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their kabuli pulao is also 10/10, some of the best I’ve had hands down! You can tell the owner takes real pride in what they do! It’s in an excellent neighborhood and I think everyone should come by and try this place. Worth every single penny spent, and I can’t stop recommending it enough. You’ve won our hearts Sami’s Kabab House, and we will definitely be back!! ❤️“

“Have not been here in years but happy to say that chicken sandwich on a pita was incredible. For $10 dollars it was filled and the chicken was so tender. I asked for no lettuce but it all went together so well. Can’t wait to go back l! They are super busy on the platforms I could see.“
