So glad we tried this! We went for a mid-day lunch and service was prompt and courteous. Simple interior with appropriate decorations. The appetizer Aushak was hands-down my favorite. It's like a little pierogi with leek filling and lentils on top. I could have eaten a plateful! My husband had his signature spinach and I ordered the eggplant. It was charred to perfection and fell apart on the inside - FANTASTIC!! We will return for sure! read more

We have driven by here a bunch of times, but finally stopped for dinner on Fathers Day. We asked for a suggestion on an appetizer and the server recommended the Mantu. It was very tasty and we enjoyed the sauce and lentils. We ordered the beef kobida kabob, lamb biryani and karahi chicken. All were very flavorful and had generous portions! My wife made 3 meals out of her biryani! The interior is decorated well but we spotted some cobwebs that could use attention. Our server was also distracted and was on her AirPods when she came to the table each time. Delicious food and a great way to learn about other options/flavors! read more

Everything is great! I had kebabs and it was fantastic as was my friend's chicken tikka masala. The coffee is amazing. The people and the service were so nice and friendly and the ambiance was charming. It was definitely authentic. I will go again. read more

We started with the Mantu beef dumplings. Amazing. They are little tasty bites with a lentil sauce over the top. I highly recommend. We all had the combination kebab plate (chicken and beef - unfortunately they had run out of lamb). The chicken was my favorite. So tender and flavorful. The accompanying rice was aromatic and a HUGE portion. This is a small, family-run restaurant so take your time, have some good conversation while you wait and know that good food takes time! We will definitely be back to try the lamb kebab! read more

This was my first time going to Afghan Kabob House and my first time having Afghan cuisine. I had dinner with some friends of mine. The food was great. The pita bread and hummus were excellent. I had the Beef Kobida Kobab it was really good but with a little bit of heat which I was not expecting. The service was very good. The atmosphere was great I loved the music. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Afghan cuisine. read more

Terrible service, slow, and they substitute foods without giving an option. Sometimes the food is good but quality is dropping over time. I would give zero stars if I could. Lamb shank substituted with read more

I visited the Afghan Kebab House Restaurant for my second time and it was still as excellent as the first and has some of the best middle eastern style kebabs in town and very high quality. On both visits I ordered the Mixed Grill plate that comes with three kebabs (chicken, beef and lamb) and on the side was an amazing spiced basmati rice, roasted tomato and a few veggies. My only minor issue with the place is it took a fairly long time to get our food but I'm not usually in a hurry and good food doesn't come fast. Servers were friendly and the decor basic but nice. read more

Afghan Kabob House - Mixed Grill. Added side sauce before remembering to take pic - Afghan Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

This food is SO good!! I'd recommend getting the mediterannean side of their menu, since that's what they're known for and good at. I was honestly blown away by how flavorful their food is. I got the Mantu appetizer followed by the Beef Kobida Kabob. The Mantu were SOOOOO delicious and flavorful. The beef was moist, the dumpling wrapper was thin and perfectly cooked, and the sauces on top were beyond incredible. The Beef Kobida Kabob was just what I wanted. It came with an agregious amount of flavorful rice, but it was really good rice so I don't mind. The Kabob themselves were flavorful, my only note would be that I'd like them a bit more moist. The meal comes with a yogurt dill sauce to pour on top, and I elected to have veggies on the side. I will 100% be ordering from here again. (My friends got the Chicken Tikka Masala with naan and although it was good, it just wasn't mindblowing, and again, I think I'd stick to ordering mediterannean here) read more

My wife and I throughly enjoined the authentic food and atmosphere at Afghan Kabob House. We order the Bolani, Beef Kobida Kabob, and the Borani Bandinjan. Each of these dishes had a unique flavor that we enjoined, but the Borani Bandinjan was our favorite! The service was pleasant and not over crowded. read more

The food is incredible here, but the service was a bit spotty. We got there at 5:30, but we didn't even get our check until after 9. There seemed to only be one front of house server. While the food came out at a relatively timely manner, my friend ordered the falafel sandwich, which comes with fries, and they came out with samosas for her because they were out of fries. She didn't get a choice I had the eggplant and tomatoes with a side of falafel. The eggplant and tomatoes (borani bandinjan) was INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend getting the entree version. The falafel was just ok. It was overly fried so it was too crunchy/hard and the internal falafel was dense. There were quite a few tables throughout the night, but it was never overly busy. Pretty steady stream of diners. read more

Afghan Kabob House is one of the best hidden gems in STL! The simple dishes pack a flavor punch. My favorites are the mixed grill, any of their curries, and their cauliflower.. but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu! The service is great!

The Afghan Kabob House has been in the neighborhood for a while, but we first visited them just recently. We had looked for online information when they first opened, and now the menus, etc. are online, so ordering food to go was super-easy. Their website is beautifully done and very easy to navigate. The employees who handled our pickup were very gracious and friendly, and the food was delicious. Wanting to try a variety of items, we ordered the mixed grill, the lamb tikka masala, and the bandjan. We have absolutely zero complaints; it was all amazing. We want our next visit to be for dining in so that we can get the full experience, but it will also be a regular on our takeout choices. So grateful to have the Kabob House in our neighborhood. read more

Ordered delivery. Home bound. Missing the rice. Told I could come in & get some. When explained I could not, was not offered a solution. The food I did receive : dal ( no seasoning) ; sambosa also lacked seasoning; chicken karahi had no tomatoes, onions or green bell pepper....pulverized? ; raita was just watered down yogurt. Never again read more

Amazing chicken tikka kabab! Order the rice with the raisins and carrots for more flavor. The mango lassi is also very tasty. The mantu appetizer is outstanding! read more

Went for a birthday party with a few friends and family the service was amazing, our waitress was really nice and fast didn't hesitate to bring out anything we needed checked on us regularly!

Surprisingly so gas. I could've eaten 20 more of their mantu dumplings. The chicken was great. Their lamb was the only thing I wasn't crazy about, oddly enough, but everything was still bursting with flavor. Favorite dishes: Mantu dumplings, chicken kabob read more

Fantastic food- we came back and got mantu again, and this time got the chicken tikka masala, which was probably the best I have ever had. The lamb shank is excellent as well! Overall, an amazing experience and would recommend to everyone. read more

It was our first time at Afghan Kabob House. My close friend has been here a few times and recommended so we came yesterday for dinner. Parking was easy. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Service was good. The only downside was we waited almost 1 hour for our food. It seemed like they were short staffed. We ordered the bolani potato, mantu, chicken tikka masala, and Kabuli Palau with Lamb Shank. I also got myself Doogh - its a savory yogurt drink similar taste like Ayran but more diluted and including cucumber and dried mint. We were very satisfied with the food here. Everything was flavorful and tasted amazing. Recommend. read more

came because it was recommended and man thos did not disappoint!! I don't believe I've ever had Afghan Cuisine before but what an incredible mix of my favorite flavors from Indian and Mediterranean cuisines. We got the Mixed Grill and all 3 (lamb, chicken & beef) kabobs were amazing! The chicken is incredibly tender, the beef is perfectly seasoned and the lamb is marinated and cooked to perfection! I also got the samosas, and Mantu (beef ravioli for simple explanation- but better!), and both were excellent! Reviewers mentioned the Tikka masala often so I tried that too and hands down the best I've had! I am over the moon with the flavors and quality and will be back very soon!!! read more

Food is AMAZE. We got mantu as a app (18/10 the star of the meal. They are dumplings with this really interesting slick outside, like a potsticker. No idea what was inside but delish, covered in a tomato sauce with lentils and then a yogurt dill sauce) friend got the lamb kebob (20/10 so flavorful) and I got chicken tikki masla (the best I've ever had in 35 years of life. The kebob was just better. Street parking was ample at lunch on Sunday. Space is...honestly you will not care about the space. It's generic. We didn't sit on the patio but it's huge I hope they open that soon. Also covered which this fair lady appreciates. RUN DO NOT WALK. read more

Guru was my server tonight, and he provided excellent and prompt service. I ordered the leek filled dumplings topped with yellow lentils, yogurt, and mint, and i also ordered the eggplant. You could tell the dumplings were handmade, and they were so delicate when eating them. They had the right amount of spicyness and coolness from the yogurt. They were light and a pleasure to eat. The eggplant was served in a tomato garlic sauce, also topped with yogurt, and was very savory. I enjoyed both dishes very much, and I will be recommending this place to anyone looking to try something new. I also ordered the malai kulfi, which was so delicious and a perfect way to end the night. Thank you, Afghan Kabob House, for the great experience, even on a Monday night! The menu names of the dishes are in the pictures. read more

Afghan Kabob House - Borani Badinjin Eggplant with tomato - Afghan Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Nice Afghani restaurant in the Lindenwood Park neighborhood of South St. Louis city. The owners are very friendly. I had the Kabuli Palau Lamb Shank, it was delicious. I also had some Mantu (dumplings )and Sambosas (potato and veggie stuffed pastry). Both flavorful. My friend had a chicken salad and said that the chicken was very tender. My other friend had the mixed kebab plate and loved it. The decor is a little sterile. It could use a splash of color on the walls and ceiling. They have outdoor seating in the back and front of the restaurant. Recommend. read more

Very good food. Great service. My friend had the Lamb Marsala, Another had a chicken dish, and I had the meatballs with rice and chickpeas. There was just a bit of spicy zing. they were all great. Lamb was tender. Meatballs had plenty of flavor. Rice was cooked just right, it is not a sticky rice, its more like the indian style rice. We had the Matsu app, which was very good, with a bit of a creamy sauce and we had Falafel, had great flavor. It was not overcooked like another said. I will definitely be back here. read more

Maybe the first yelp review I've written. Just moved to the neighborhood and live close to here. I'm not sure my wallet will thank me but my tastebuds sure will. The mantu was INCREDIBLE. I got it to go and it was ready in 10 minutes (at 5:30). See you soon read more

Even though Afghanistan is rich in heritage and culture, I never thought much about its food offerings and spices. The image in my mind was throngs of people running along side an airplane clamoring to get out! I am so glad we visited the Afghan Kabob House! The place is spotless and inviting. The server was friendly and accommodating. The food, goodness gracious, it was fantastic! Different seasonings, textures and flavors with a beautiful presentation. We had a lamb shank with basmanti rice and what was a nan stuffed with potatoes and fried. There was also the mantu, a stuffed dumpling, so delicious! See photos, below. read more

My boyfriend said it was a tasty treat for his lunch. I would say for the price it would be nice to get more food.

THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS! Get SEVERAL dishes and share, family style. You will not be disappointed!!!

I regret that I didn't take photos of this beautiful food. However, don't let that stop you from going and tasting for yourself. Housed in what used to be a burger joint called Snax, a place I regret having missed checking out, the atmosphere in the Afghan Kabob Shop is underwhelming. Bland colors and plastic accoutrements, the decor belies the color and spice of the food. We had the Kofta soup, an exquisite curry colored soup with abundant flavor and a fair bit of heat, just enough to want the accompanying naan to cool your tongue. The 2 large meatballs were delicate and tender and blended beautifully with the broth. Next was the Borani Bandinjan, a roasted eggplant dish with red pepper, olive oil and spices. Topped with a bit of yogurt. Smoky and flavorful, it was delicious. Finally, we had the Chicken Tikka Kebabs. The chicken is a lovely saffron color, removed from the skewer and served with a yogurt like sauce similar to Raita. It was tender and succulent and I dipped it into the eggplant instead of the yogurt because I'm dairy free. We ordered mint tea to accompany the meal and it is served in a charming glass pot with matching glass cups. The service was fine, the server kind and knowledgeable. We will definitely return! read more

I went for lunch with some friends on a Saturday, possibly the first or second week this place was even open. The waitress was very helpful and informative when we asked about various dishes. She recommended the chicken kabob (I don't eat lamb) and her recommendation was right on! The chicken was so juicy and savory, and the seasoned rice was a good addition. They had white rice if you preferred. We also had the vegetable sambosa appetizer which was very flavorful though a little spicy for me. Delicious! read more

My wife and I have been here twice now. One dine in. One take out. We have had all three appetizers. The mantu (meat dumplings) and Aushak (leak filled dumplings) are just perfect. The dough is light and, the fillings are seasoned, and the dumplings are dressed with chick peas and a garlic yogurt sauce. We've also had the samosas. They have a spicy potato filling with a delicious mint chutney. My only critique is the dough is a little thick. The lamb biryani is great. Fragrant and spicy rice - and lamb - and the lamb is also very tender. I highly recommend the Sabzi if your looking for a vegetarian dish. Make sure to get it with the rice. (Their naan isn't awesome. Their rice is). read more
