Kabul Kabob

08/21/24 - My wife, her brother & I were down by Midway Airport today for a doctor appointment. We had planned on going to Al Bawadi but it was closed out of respect to the Pro Palestinian protesters in Chicago @ the DNC. We were little disappointed but found that there were other offerings across 87th street.Much to our delight we found Kabul Kabob across the street in the large at strip mall. This area of of Bridgeview has a number of middle eastern. Afagan food fuses Its cuisine & has influences from all over -- Persia, the Mediterranean, South Asia and China.We decided to try Kabul House in this mall @ 7265 W 87th St, Bridgeview, IL 60455. We went in & the owner & her daughter & one other woman were there. She was a very gracious host & spent some time explaining some of their dishes. We ordered 2 dishes that came w/Afagan rice had julienne carrots & raisins, chicken & beef kabobs. One dish had a beef Kofta & the other had a lamb kofta blended with onions, garlic, parsley and a few of my favorite Middle Eastern spices including, allspice, cardamom, sumac, and nutmeg. She also brought out a plate that had hummus, cucumber, tomatoes red onions & cilantro. There was also a sweet tomato dish that was absolutely delicious. They also have fresh made pita type bread that was still hot and made fresh right out of the oven, absolutely delicious. The food & service was very good & I will be back when I'm in the area again (unfortunately I'm usually this far south. The little daughter happened to be there today & brought out the appetizer dish w/hummus, sweet red tomatoes & salad of cucumbers, red onions & cilantro. She was mommas little helper. The restaurant had some beautiful Persian lights made of cut pieces of beautiful colored glass.

Delicious food ! The tenderloin skewers are super good, I don't believe any other restaurant can compete with them.Service was great , they served complimentary hummus and baba ghanoj

Really awesome food . this was my first time eating in and the food as well as service was awesome m. we have the afghan mix platter mantu and the bill pilao.definitely recommend

Food is incredible, no notes at all on how they could improve quality or flavor. Service is not great, borderline actually terrible over the phone, and price is wildly disproportionate to quantity of food provided. It's really a disappointment because their food hits the spot and is absolutely delicious but the customer service and insane prices have discouraged me from ordering again despite craving quality Afghan food.

This place is smack dab in the middle of one of the best strip malls in the Bridgeview area. The restaurant is one of many tasty halal options in the area. We ordered the mantu, the beef koubideh, chicken koubideh, and the mixed grill. One issue we had was that the mantu had arrived after our main dishes and I wish that the waitress had told us this before since we ordered it as an apperizer. We were told it takes a long time to make. Another issue is that there isn't a second door to block out the Chicago chill, so you're constantly feeling cold in the restaurant. The third issue is that they do charge a fee for sharing dishes, it is $5 per person. The food is absolutely amazing! The beef is tender and the appetizers of humus and Baba ganoush and a tomato salad is scrumptious with hot bread. They automatically include tip if your party is 5 and over.

This place is definitely underrated. Really clean and healthy food I recommend the lamb chops and kabobs !!!

Great food and ambience, best lamb I had in a long time. The service was out of this world and it sure makes a whole lot of a difference. Excellent experience.

Why haven't I come here before?! Unfortunately Bawadi and Nile take away from Kabul Kabob, but this is definitely up there with them. I actually love the Afghan flavors a little more than Bawadi. I love the rice with the carrots and raisins, you can't get that in the other Arab restaurants. The food was delicious. I especially loved the shank and lamb chops. Can't wait to come back.

I hesitated to try this type of new food but I am glad we went after seeing so much good reviews. People are nice and friendly, also made good recommendations because we were first timers. Food were delicious! We got the lamp chops, and chicken combo. Tender meat, well cooked, great flavor. Very special flavor on the rice. I would highly recommend if you never tried this restaurant.

"I had a disappointing experience at the Naperville Halal Fest on August 3, 2024, with a food vendor who seemed to be the owner. The lady at the counter was extremely rude and misbehaved with every customer I saw, including me. She appeared to have limited English proficiency and made comments like "Do you want free food?" and "People are here to get free food" while serving. When it was my turn, she charged me $30 for two meals, despite my request for only beef kabob. She included a small amount of rice and one kabob in each box, which I didn't want. When I questioned her, she became argumentative and continued to say "Do you want free food?" I pointed out that I had already paid $30, and she should know how to treat customers. The grill master, possibly her son, apologized and offered to resolve the issue later. Even though I brought the boxes of food. There was no sauce and the savorness she left had kept me away from the food and most of the food got wasted. Unfortunately, the owner's behavior left a sour taste, and I wish them luck in improving their customer service skill.
