Indulge in the delightful flavors of fresh juices and authentic homemade Afghan cuisine. Experience the comforting taste that feels like home. I absolutely loved the manto beef dumplings (recommended by the owner) - they were simply fantastic!

chicken thigh kebab was really yummy. good flavor and tender. very large place with lots of seating. my friend had to wait kind of a long time for her to go order even though the place was empty. U can order from a kiosk or at the table.

Overall I felt it was pretty solid. I've only had Afghan food once prior and I preferred this place over the other one.The Bolani with the potato filling was the best thing, and you need the spicy sauce to kick it up a notch. Chicken had good flavor but was quite dry. I got the brown rice because some of the reviews recommended it. It was okay. Service was good enough. The pudding was really good. I did feel kinda bad because the place was really empty.

We have been coming to this restaurant for a little over two years. This is by far the best Afghan food in the East Bay, parallel with its legendary Afghan hospitality that we have all read about or heard about in. Movies and documentaries, this place has that authentic Afghan food and tradition. The staff goes above and beyond. I have so many favorites here I don't even know where to begin, they are currently doing a buffet style for dinner, those of you who are new to Afghan food to definitely try it as you have different options of rice and meats, grilled and stews.

Had another delicious meal here. Haven't been back since pre pandemic days. Came by for lunch- not too busy. Had the bolani filled with leeks and a mixed grilled platter family style. Everything was delicious - well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Right on 14 th street in downtown Oakland, easy parking. Come and support this family run small business!

We ordered the Quabili Pallow and the Potato Bolani, everything came pretty fast and the staff were very kind. The food was absolutely delicious, the chutney, yogurt and salad on the side was also very tasty. The restaurant was big and had beautiful decorations. Although the streets in front weren't as pleasant, I would definitely recommend!!

Try the Sabzi Spinach with the brown rice. The rice is made with lamb broth. I get the vegetarian version. Its very flavorful with lots of spice. It has a little kick in terms of heat. The spinach is super juicy. Try the chicken kabobs - cooked fresh and juicy, and bursting with flavor. Perfectly charred on a true grill. The standard green sauce is flavorful and not too spicy. The orange/yellow sauce is spicy. The only thing I don't like here is the bread. Its relatively flavorless. I think its more fat.

This was my first introduction to afghan food. Usually I split a bolani and some other dish - lamb shank, chapli kebab, and sabzi are favorites.The food is very cozy, but I will say that a perhaps bigger draw of this place is that it's open late and always has room because it's weirdly massive. Still a firm recommendation from me though.

The menu options offering a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and animal protein options. If you're willing to wait for its preparation, the food well-seasoned but not salty or overbearing and is delicious in a way that tastes like a special, home-cooked meal.The atmosphere is spacious and family-friendly, as the owners and operators seem to be a close-knit group who are committed to friendly, attentive and thoughtful service.I've personally enjoyed their beef, chicken or salmon kabobs with brown rice--YUM! Friends I've gone with LOVE their Turai Daal, samosas or Sabzi (a spinach and scallions dish). That the food is Halal is added plus for anyone seeking it!This restaurant and its food have become a staple for my eating out treats!
