The delicious foods were served with kind services. I love the kabobs with rice and fresh chai. We enjoyed conversation with native people. We relaxed for the ample space.

This food is on point! Somehow these little hole in the wall spots always exceed my expectations. Tucked away in a little strip mall, this place is unassuming but it's putting out fantastic flavors with friendly service and quick ticket times. I had the lamb kabob with brown rice, the bread, and salad. I ordered in and my food came out in maybe 15 minutes, literally steaming. First thing I noticed is the smell of the spices and seasoning. Very aromatic which is a very good sign. Tender meat seasoned to perfection, flavorful rice cooked just right, a quick salad that brings the acid to balance the rest... really a perfect meal. The sauces! Much better than the standard stuff, the green sauce is so good I ate every last bit of it and when I ran out of meat I finished it with the bread. I'd put that on anything and everything, it's got such a nice punch of fresh flavor and just a little heat. The white sauce had a mild tang from what I'm assuming is yogurt, it's not too rich and its another perfect addition to the meal!The only negatives I had are that the floor was sticky and the price was a bit high. 20 dollars for my meal, which kept me from ordering anything extra, but the food IS worth it. The space is a bit drab and it was awkwardly quiet, but as they got more customers it got more lively. They definitely have happy regulars and if I still lived around here I'd be one of them. It seems like they moved to Morton Grove around 3 years ago and we should all be grateful they brought this fantastic food our way. I can't wait to bring a friend here and try some more of the menu!

The flavors that come out of this small restaurant in a strip mall on Dempster are just amazing. If you've never had Afghani food before, Afghan kabob is a Percy place to try. They offer delicious kabobs, lamb, chicken and beef which are cooked to perfection and spiced just right. All the meats are seasoned so well that not only do you get a tasty dish but it is also moist and consistent. The service is usually pretty fast as well. I ordered carry out for dinner on. Friday evening and turnaround time was 20mins. Can't beat that for fresh cooked food to order.

Stopped by here with my wife after a recommendation from a family member and we were not disappointed.She got the Chicken Chapli Kabob and I got the Combination #2, which consists of 3 different Afghan kabobs. For the Combination plate you can choose from 1 lamb kabob, chicken shish, chicken shami or beef shami. I got the chicken shish, chicken shami and beef shami. The beef to me was just ok but all the chicken dishes were great.With my wifes plate and mine, it was also accompanied by a small a cucumber, onion and tomato salad and tons of rice (was very happy with the rice here).They also included 2 sauces. I wasn't huge on the white sauce but it wasn't bad. The green was a bit to the spicier side. It is pricey, but overall, I would definitely be back.5 all day!

My husband and I heard amazing things about this place. So we drove from Schaumburg. This place does not disappoint. I got the lamb shank which was tender and the pulav was so aromatic. I also had to get chai. Very different and so comforting. My husband had the combo platter which he loved. The meats were very flavorful. We will definitely be back.

This review is from my visit a little over two years. I don't know how I missed reviewing it. From what I remember, I found this restaurant while looking for kabob and grilled meats restaurants during lunchtime on a weekday afternoon. Based on their menu variety and choices, I decided to check this restaurant out. From their menu options, I decided to go with their lunch special which came with beef and chicken kabob on skewers, rice, and salad. I ordered my meal to-go. While my food was being prepared, I waited in the dining area of the restaurant. The ambiance was cozy. The restaurant staff members were friendly and nice. The restaurant was inviting and had a welcoming atmosphere. It's a family-owned business. I received good service and the cost of food was reasonable. I enjoyed my delicious lunch special meal. The kabobs were cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned to give a good flavor. The rice and salad were tasty as well. I recommend checking this restaurant out and especially trying their lunch special.

First time here. Ordered good amount of food. Appetizers and entree . Everything tasted very good. The quality looks good. It's decently priced too. The service is little slow. The servers and staff is polite and helpful. The place is not fancy . But it's clean and seating is also enough. They need to keep the restaurant cool for the dine In customers . It was very hot inside. Over all it was a good choice it's hole in a wall place. Good food and service.

This place is a hidden gem, located next to the Giordano's on Dempster. I have been to them all, Kabul house, Kabul kabab, so many afghan places, and I can honestly say that this one takes the cake. FOOD: no skimping on quality here. large portions, and flavorful food. The lamb cubes were juicy and not gamey. We ordered the combination plate #2 $19.99 (enough for 2-3 people). We picked two chicken kabobs, one looked like a koubideh that was Very flavorful, and the other again very flavorful chicken thighs/shish kabobs. Traditional kabuli rice of-course, and the shredded carrots had a deep red color as most premium carrots do. The salad that this dish comes with is very fresh and perfectly cut to equal texture. The Mantu is extremely flavorful, there's a kick to the red lentils and the meat smelled aromatic. The bulanee kachaloo is well complimented with the green raita sauce that it comes with. It's not spicy on spicy, it's actually a perfect balance of fluffy potato stuffed paratha style bread without an overkill of seasoning. I could eat this all day. We had the afghani chai- similar to Kashmiri chai without the nuts. This was sweet and delightful, with a subtle hint of cardamom. SERVICE: polite, professional, honest. COST: very affordable for the portion sizeAMBIANCE: rustic and quaint, I think this place could cram 10-12 large families at once. Restroom is small but tidy (a do your business and leave style setup)I would come back here again.

Very slow service. Ordered torshi for the Pilau. Asked two more times. No one brought it. The food was mediocre. Probably a nice change for those who are not Afghan and don't realize how great the cuisine really is. It wasn't worth a 45 minute Uber ride for sure
