Chapli kebabs are perfectly seasoned and nicely balanced with ground beef, cumin, chillies, eggs, spices. It is very similiar with Korean Tteokgalbi in terms of shape, meat patty formation, texture. But the flavor is so different! Nice and fragrant, juicy, crispy outside at the same time.The dough of mantoo, bolani is nice and thin, so flaky!! Flatbread is stuffed with savory veggies and flavor-filled. It was served hot!! I think this is one of the best afghan restaurants in entire bay area.I love the authentic way they cook.I wish they would be nicer to have more spiciness to it.

Really nice food, home cooked taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and freshness of food here. It is run by a family. I think the wife cooks in the kitchen and the husband takes care of serving. A great example of making team work, quality ingredients and what comes out is home tasting food. Feels home away from home.

Our first time trying the food. Ordered through Uber Food. The food was well prepared, good quality and quantity. The flavors were really good. We had a chicken kabob, Koobideh and the dumplings. Everything was great except that it was cold. I attribute the temperature to the driver making another stop before delivering mine.

Halal Sign is posted on restaurant entrance. Verbally verified as well with the Afghan girl working there. Food is okay but less spicy. Nice sitting area for family.

I have been going to Kabul for over two years now and was lucky enough to discover them when I did. I find myself coming back time and time with some sense of familiarity bringing me back in. Not to understate the the food is absolutely phenomenal, and is the most underrated restaurant I have ever visited. I highly recommend Kabul to anyone that wants a delicious meal, and a reminder of what great food can truly be.

Absolutely delicious! We were passing by Dublin and happened to discover this gem. Came here for a quick lunch and was impressed by the great service, and cleanliness. We ordered the Qalili Palaw and loved it. The lamb shank was so tender, and the meat just fell off the bone. Plus the long grain rice with raisins and carrots gave such a wonderful hint of sweetness to the dish. We also ordered the Manto and really enjoyed it. Super rare find to experience this level of authenticity.Great place and would definitely come back!

We came by today for some takeout and the food is AMAZING!!We got the Bolani for appetizer and the Chicken and Beef Kabob Mix and Qabili Palaw as the entrees. All are amazing especially the Bolani and Palaw. Be sure to eat the Bolani hot for the best flavor. Pickup was fast and efficient, and prices are decent. Our family of 3 (with very hangry people) couldn’t even finish it! The portion sizes are huge! It’s really sad to see the things going on in Afghanistan but the food is FABULOUS!! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. Eat some Afghani food then top it off with Boba Bliss is perfect!Great food 10/10 would recommend.I will edit this review with more information if we decide to go again. Will recommend!

One of the Best Afghan Resturant in Area. Beat others so easy. Ash and kabob Kobideh the best not say the other dishes not as good. We been going back there weekly. Recommend highly. Run by great family with great friendly service.

I’ve really been enjoying Afghan and other Middle Eastern food lately. Every since I’ve tried man to for the first time, I’ve been hooked! The gentleman who took my order was very attentive and my order was ready in just about 10 minutes! The filling was perfectly spiced as well as the lentil topping although the lentils were a bit al dente. All around, still a great late lunch!

Great food, and nice staff. I really enjoy the Chapli Kabob, and Eggplant Banjan. The rice they serve is very fragrant and tasty. I look forward to my next trip to the area so that I can eat here again.

This is our go-to spot for Afghani food in the Tri-Valley. Friendliest staff, reliable customer service and above all, amazing food. We ordered (clockwise from left) Combo Kabob with Chapli & Koobideh, Qabulli Pulao with lamb and Bolani.

We were in the area and this place caught our eye because it shares the same name as one of our favorite Afghan restaurants in San Carlos.Were glad we stopped by because the food was amazing. All of the dishes were cooked perfectly and were loaded with flavor without being salty. The service was very friendly and the restaurant wasnt crowded. We really enjoyed everything and will be back again.

Excellent speed in making our order today for pick up. The food was amazing I would definitely order again very soon. The bolani was one of the best we have ever had. Chapli was so delicious and not too oily. Chicken kabob very juicy. Lamb curry was super delicious and not too spicy and the sabzi was so well seasoned and not over cooked tasted so fresh. Loved the food here and the guy who helped us get our order was so polite and courteous ( he might be the owner) offered us some water while waiting for our order. Thank you for the great food

I didnt mind that because the food was so good...This place has become one of my favorites and I for surely will be back!

Such a lovely family owned restaurant. Their food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious. It’s not overly spicy which we like (the kids enjoy it as well). The kababs are so flavorful. Out go-to for afghani food.

This was our first time trying authentic Afghan food, and the food/service did not disappoint. We ordered the Tandoori Chicken Kabob and and vegetarian Mantoo. The dishes were cooked and prepared by the amazing woman behind the counter. The gentleman that took our order at the front counter was kind and attentive. The food was incredible. The portions were large and everything was incredibly well cooked and delicious. Thank you Kabul Kabob & Grill for a delightfully scrumptious meal that completely surprised us. This local spot is a hidden gem and we will be back again! :)

2022-08-15 01:22:55

I think this is a decent weeknight Afghani restaurant, but not somewhere Id take family. Their borani kadoo tasted like it was cooked in sugar syrup, which I didnt like. The mantoo was good, though I have had a more flavorful sauce elsewhere. The kebobs dishes were tasty, but the bread was mediocre, flat.

Review №27

2021-10-09 20:20:47

The hostess was extremely friendly and made some great suggestions. We had the chicken qurma and chicken tandoori. Both were amazing! The chicken was very soft, perfectly cooked a d well blended with the spices. Would totally recommend this place!

One of the best Afghani food in Tri-Valley area. Tried their Shami & Tandoori Chicken Kabob Combo. Very delicious and the meat was well cooked. Flavorful tasty rice too. Reasonable price and the portions are large. Very friendly staff.

Review №34

2023-03-08 03:59:15

A great Afghan restaurant with a tight menu. We tried the lamb kebab, Qabli Palo, beef kebab and Sabzi and all were excellent.

Review №35

2019-12-16 18:38:46

The service is terrible and a long wait for mediocre food. We still didn’t have our food when the table behind us who ordered way after us were boxing up theirs leftovers😾. The vegetarian dumplings were under cooked and the gyro plate was cold and the bread we paid extra for was ice cold and hard. It just was not what we were expecting given all the other reviews.

Review №36

2020-09-19 19:30:23

This place is THEE closest to my Afghani coworkers home made food that is excellent. Chicken kabob is always so juicy and moist and the rice is always flavorful and delicious. Reasonably priced and close to home.

Review №37

2018-10-11 22:44:11

Best home cooked food you can buy. Great service. The meat and rice there are excellent. Well spiced and perfectly cooked. Go there when you are really hungry. Dont forget to account for few extra inches in your waist...

Review №38

2019-05-28 06:25:36

Excellent food, very nice staff. The bolani katchalu, beef tikkah kabobs, chicken kabobs, and bread were all wonderful. The seasoned rice was very good, dont get me wrong, but this close to Fremont I expect it to be to die for, and it wasnt. Thats my only small, nit-picky complaint.

Review №39

2018-01-19 03:09:54

The chicken kabobs are big, juicy, and tasty. Add some brown rice and chutney and it makes for a filling meal. One take out plate fed 2 adults and a toddler without issue. I usually call ahead to order, and they some times underestimate the ready time. The restaurant is usually quiet with lots of seating. Bathroom is located a few doors down, and youll need a code to get in.

I just came from San Diego and looked this place up by chance. They had a great service when they took my order, and when I had my food it was great and very delicious. I rhad lamb chops with the chicken kabob. They also give me a free rice pudding. Definitely coming back whenever i visit this city.

They have a small place and serving quite tasty food. The price matches the quality and portion size. The only drawback is that they serve in paper plates and disposable cutlery.

A family owned and operated restaurant who serves halal and wonderful food. Is almost like a regular weekend dinner for us from Kabul Kabob and Grill. The owners are very humble, kind and always smiling. Delicious and scrumptious food 😋

2020-07-13 07:14:03

Hello, by looking all the reviews today I went to this restaurant, I think all the reviews are fake.I have very bad experience today, I Ordered online, chicken kabobs chicken curry, really it is very very very bad, chicken is spoiled and even it smells bad, please please my humble request don’t go this restaurant anyone by any chance. You guys for sure will suffer food poison,lot of-restaurants in Dublin and Pleasanton, don’t ever go to this restaurant (San Ramon location near chevron gas station),I never had this experience in my life before. And the customer service is very very rude and disrespectful, I asked one yogurt sause, I’m ready to pay for that, without leasing he rudely said we don’t give it for free. What Is this, they should learn customer service first.Again I’m saying please don’t ever go to this restaurant by any chance.

This was my first and last visit here. A nice, family run business, but the service was terrible and the food was mediocre. Also, expect to get overcharged. Ask for water and you will receive a $2 bottle of water, not free tap water. I should have known better, as we were the only customers there on a Monday at 1pm, that something was wrong with the place.
