Wonderful Afghan food spot located....(of all places) ....the Southland Mall Food Court. Not a place I venture often but when someone told me about Kabul Express KabobI figure I give it try.Placed an order over the phone and was ready when I arrived at the time specified. The owner, Nasir was very welcoming, friendly, and quickly rang me up.QABILI PALAU - lamb shank tender, flavorful along with their special rice with raisin and candied carrots. Delicious!CHAPLI KEBAB - ground beef that's nicely seasoned, soft, with a nice crust and light crunch from the seeds/spicesBoth orders came with a green salad, Afghan bread, and a spicy cilantro, jalapeno-vinegar based sauce that just kicks everything up a notch! Reasonably priced with generous portions! With inflation, I was surprised that both items cost approximately $32 with tax and tip.Park near the movie theater entrance, take the escalator to the food court and Kabul Express Kabob is located across the way towards the right! Plenty of food court tables for dining. Definitely check Kabul Express Kebab out as their food hits the spot!

After a long drained day from work, I told myself I needed lamb plate to fill back my energy. Here I was at Kabul express kabob again. Never be more satisfied than this. I felt like the owner took my review as suggestion. Today the plate was filled with raisins on top. The flavors were very tasty. He gave me two garlic green sauce with the meal. The green sauce was more spicier than last time but yessss i loved it this way more. Once again I couldn't stop until the last grain of rice. Soooo many thanks to be here near me!!!!!

The gyro chicken plate is, so good!! The owner recommended it. It was worth the 10 minute wait.

I haven't been to the Southland Food Court in years! But we were in the area and I remembered the food court has actual food places. We were really there for the Indian food, but my husband never had Afghan food (the things you take for granted when living in the East Bay!) so we tried the Mantoo dish. We didn't know what to expect, but it was good. I don't think it's something I am used to, but it looked good and tasted fine. Initially there wasn't anyone at the counter, but after we pressed the bell someone came by. Our food was made quickly and this is a place we would try again. What I don't like about malls are that the food courts all have the same generic chain restaurants or else "fancier" places that are all run of the mill. Southland is unique in that it has actual restaurants that serve real food. Hopefully Southland will fare better in the near future and continue to allow these smaller businesses to rent.

I don't understand how this place is in the food court at the mall. We've been searching for the best Afghan food in norcal for a little while now. Weve tried places in Oakland, Fremont, San Jose and even Sacramento. Who knew the best option was at Southland Mall, just 15 minutes from our house. We got what we always get at Afghan restaurants. My wife got the chopli kabob and I had the qabili palau and added an order of the bolani. Everything was insanely good. The spicing was perfect, the serving sizes were generous, the prices super reasonable and the gentleman working behind the counter was delightful. Legitimately might start coming here multiple times a week.

Delicious food at a great price! I got the Qabili Palau, and it did not disappoint. There was a massive lamb shank under the rice, and the meat was super tender. The rice had so much flavor as well. I highly recommend this dish.

Ordered the Qabili Palau and received it within a few minutes. Everything about it was amazing. The amount is very generous for the price and it tasted great. The lamb was super tender. This is my new favorite Afghan restaurant. The gentleman who took the order (possibly the owner) was very kind and sweet. Come give them your business and you won't regret it.

Food is good especially the bolani and chicken skewers. This is a great addition to the variety of food in the food court.

One of the best kabobs i've ever had with the best prices. The aush was so good as well. Definitely will be back!
