I recently dined at Afghan Kabob Cvile Restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The authenticity of the cuisine, combined with the warm ambiance and attentive service, truly made for a memorable dining experience. If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to consider adding traditional background music to further enhance the atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend Afghan Restaurant to anyone craving authentic Afghan flavors. It's definitely a dining destination worth visiting again and again!

My visit to this restaurant left much to be desired. Both the food and service fell short of expectations.I found myself waiting for almost 30 minutes just to place my order, and then endured another half-hour wait for my food to arrive. The extended delays made the dining experience frustrating and tedious.Unfortunately, when the food finally did arrive, it failed to impress. The quality was lacking, and I was left disappointed by the overall taste and presentation.In summary, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience. The combination of poor service and underwhelming food made for a less than enjoyable dining outing.

Afghan Kabob offers a delightful culinary experience that truly captures the essence of traditional Afghan cuisine. From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a memorable dining adventure. The menu is a showcase of rich flavors and aromatic spices, with dishes that are both authentic and beautifully presented.The standout must-try is undoubtedly their kabobs, which are expertly charred and tender, offering a succulent taste with every bite. The seasoning is spot-on, achieving a perfect balance that complements the high-quality meats. Accompanied by freshly baked naan and a side of fragrant saffron rice, each plate is a testament to the skilled chefs behind the scenes.Not to be overlooked are the appetizers, particularly the bolani and mantu, which are packed with flavor and make for perfect starters. The service at Afghan Kabob is also commendable; staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to offer recommendations to enhance your dining experience.Whether you're a fan of hearty meat dishes or vegetarian offerings, there's something for everyone at this gem of a restaurant. Afghan Kabob doesn't just serve food; it offers a cultural journey that's both delicious and deeply satisfying. It's definitely a place worth visiting and revisiting for anyone who appreciates good food and a welcoming ambiance.

Food is really good, we are helped by Mr.Babor we are received well, He did good job describing food options. We are new to Afghan cuisine and it. They have a very good bread. Ate chicken Chaplin kebab, which was amazing. They have one of the best chai I’ve ever tasted. Overall, amazing visit will come again.

Kafaytullah is a great waiter!!!!!I am so thankful for him and his honesty.We had a wonderful dinner. We were able to speak to each other and probably stayed untilclosing time.(The restaurant is not so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think.)After a wonderful time I neglected to take my purse home. It contained my wallet with cash and credit cards, my phone and mycheck book.The next morning I went to the restaurant to see if anyone had turned it in.Kafaytullah was there.He asked me what it looked like and pulled it out for me!!!!Everything was in it!!!!I definitely recommend AFGHAN KOBOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great new restaurant. Ate there twice.Both times were yummy.Loved their lamb chops grilled on the bone.For under $22.00 wow!4 lamb chops, bread, salad, beans & pilaf.Tasty! And filling.If you’re a lamb lover, as I am, this is the place to enjoy and cultivate.My friend had their grilled chicken and was ecstatic.Am amazed they opened during the fasting month of Ramadan.Hasn’t affected the quality of their offerings.Recommended.Vegetarian options: This is a traditional grill restaurant.Not for vegetarians.

Beyond amazing service and absolutely scrumptious food! The kind manager is full of charasmatic stories and works incredibly hard (7 days a week) our young server was very courteous and always knew what we needed. The manager asked if I had any suggestions and the only one I had was "more chaa" because it costs $4 for a 4 oz cup (not that I'm complaining! It was delicious ?) and he offered to bring us spiced milk tea to go on the house! Wow!!! My friend and I really enjoyed listening to his stories about moving from Afghanistan ?? ? ☺️ to the United States ???? ❤️ ♥️ in 2021. ? ? ? ? We traveled all the way from New Jersey so we were honored to be treated so kindly and like family by someone we just met. Now you are probably wondering about the food. I am a conosseur of Uzbeki, Afghani, Bengali and other cuisines. This establishment did not disappoint one single bit! My friend and I ordered two appetizers: the sampler and the manto which were so fresh and crisp! Then as our mains, she had a noodle dish while I had a side of lamb curry. We were here for lunch so we didn't need a lot of food. Combining appetizers with sides worked for us! Thank you Mr. Babar!Kid-friendliness: Treated like family
