Every time I/we pop in this wonderfully warm and welcoming spot, the food smacks us with powerful flavors of fresh produce and ingredients and healthy meats. The menu is not huge which is great and another example of the ability to perfect those things that are on the menu. Tonight was the chicken/chapli combo kebab; very highly recommend! Try it once and you will likely return... prove me wrong...!?! YUM!

My friend and I were blown away by the hospitality and food here! Both of us never tried afghan food, but we definitely plan on trying more dishes next time. The chicken kabob was extremely juicy and tender, and the rice was seasoned nicely with a touch of cumin. I loved the raisins and carrots on the rice for an added texture and sweetness. The lamb was also extremely tender and not gamey at all. I usually don't like lamb but this one was certainly delicious. The appetizer, 5pc mantoo, was also so good and I loved the yogurt with it. The man was very friendly and gave us samples of other menu items, like the squash Polani and a rose fragrant dessert, to try. He also sent us home each with a huge loaf of afghan bread that they make in house. Thank you for an incredible and filling meal! Next time I'm in Fremont, I know I'll be hitting this spot again.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - ordered Mantoo (5 piece), Chapli Kabob, Chicken Kabob, and Beef Kabob. While they were out of Bakhlava, we were able to try some Firini. The mantoo was interesting as it's a dumpling covered with a yogu sauce and ground beef seasoning. So while it has a savory aspect, it's also extremely creamy. Both the chicken and beef kabob were tender and well marinated. We enjoyed the seasoning and spices in the chapli as well. The rice were flavored well and loved the salads. The firini is an Afghan milk pudding that is absolutely creamy with cardamom and rose water. While we enjoyed it, it's definitely a particular flavor. Service: 5/5 - very friendly and attentive. Mom and pop store vibe with how welcoming they were. Ambiance: 5/5 - while it's a small store with limited seating, it felt very cozy like walking into an Aunty's house and asked to sit and eat. Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended place and we can completely understand why!

Found this restaurant on Yelp and saw the great reviews. We told our friends to meet us here and so we made reservations for a party for four for 4:45 pm. Got there early and found parking easily. The outside looks really small and like a hole in the wall but because the reviews were so outstanding, we still wanted to try it. We loved it! We ordered the potatoes/squash bolani, and the trio combo. Everything was delicious!! The owner gave us a small cup of the rose water pudding for dessert. It was a very quaint place to eat I highly recommend the food and plan to go there again! Very nice and friendly family owned business!

On my first visit to Afghan Awasana Kabob, I ordered a dinner portion of Mantu. It was delicious! The Mantu as full of flavor with it's onions, spices and ground beef stuffed inside the steamed dough perfectly. The wait service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a good find. I will return soon to try other items on the menu.

YupThis is the what you think of when someone says, "I found this hole in the wall with awesome ...."No one speaks English, but it's busy and the Sabzi was perfect.Fresh ingredients and home cooking Afghan style!

Let me preface this review by saying this is long, overdue. I have gone here a couple times in the last 2 years. lol As someone who just loves food of any culture, and my exposure to Afghan food while in the Military, I was very excited to know there are so many Afghan food options in Fremont! I feel like Fremont should already be known as the Afghan Food capital :DThis restaurant is small and kinda hidden. I just saw it in Yelp and wanted to try it because I just couldn't be bothered to wait at De Afghanan Cuisine. The restaurant is cute, they only have a couple tables so I usually take my food to go. I am greeted usually by the husband who owns the establishment. He is very nice and usually is excited to see new people at his restaurant. The couple times I went he gave me free Afghan bread and a small dessert. I have a feeling this is ran by their family. I usually either order the trio kabob or just chicken and chopli. Looks like the prices have gone up since a couple years ago which is expected so it doesn't bother me. We wait a little and our food is done. How is the food? Honestly, very very good. If you are already familiar with Afghan food and spices, it is very flavorful and in my opinion, authentic. You get soo much food in the kabob meals with the mountain of flavored rice, salad, afghan bread, and what looks like chick pea soup. A complete and filling meal. This is why I think the prices are so worth it for the food they give you. I have tried some other items like the borani, qabuli, and farini, and all were delicious. When I get Afghan bread I usually cut it into servings and freeze it and toast it when I want some and eat it with some salted butter. Bliss. I hope you guys give this place a shot, Keep them busy and open!

The BEST Afghan food in the Bay Area when it comes to taste, freshness and choices , not to mention the superb customer service by the owner Mr Arsala, I will be back to try the rest of the menu items. I, 100% ,do recommend this restaurant to everyone especially to those who hasn't been hereThank you for being there ,Awasana, and for giving us the choice and opportunity to experience the fine Afghan cuisine and more....

We met up with friends from out-of-town to have lunch at Afghan Awasana. Kaushal was just the sweetest and most hospitable host, made us feel like we were in his home. If you are looking for authentic home-cooked Afghan food, this is definitely the place.I've tried mantoos in many places. Theirs was one of the best I've had. Potato and squash bolanis are also very delicious, moist and crispy. I personally prefer the squash over the potato ones.Lamb, chicken kabobs and the lamb shank - all were worth ordering.He also gave us this yogurt dessert that was interesting and totally yummy. The topping mix of pistachio and flowers (I think it's rose) was amazing to the palate. Even their hot tea is uniquely good.The restaurant itself is not very big, but it is clean and we had a wonderful experience. The restroom is outside but unexpectedly nice and clean as well.
