My family opted for the lamb and chicken chapli kabobs. Every bite I stole from them was deeply flavored and delightful. Generous servings of meat and rice came with naan and sauces.

We've been looking for an Afghan restaurant for a while and we found a great one. Located in a…read moresmaller strip mall off of Watt Ave in Sacramento. When we walked in, the restaurant had a few tables for dine in. The menus were at the front and you order at the front and once the food is ready, they bring it to your table. We shared 3 dishes. The chicken mantoo, which was delicious dumpling dish. The lamb/beef koobideh. And my favorite dish growing up, Qabili, which is lamb shank under a bed of rice topped with raisins and carrots. The owners were there taking the orders and cooking our meals. Very hospitable and kind. Looking forward to coming back.

Been to Halal Bitez quite a few times and about time to leave a review…read more I usually get number #2 chicken, #5 or #7. The food is good and quality wise I'ld rate it at 8 out of 10. Chicken kabobs seem a little bit dry and at sometimes not very tender. The reason for 3 stars is because I had a couple mishaps when I called in my order. One time I asked for a side salad @ $1.99 and got charged $3.99 instead. On a different occasion I asked for all white rice and got a mixture of both,... but otherwise this place is a solid 3-4 stars. Will be back again and will update my review if I see less mistakes,.. but for now I'll leave it at 3 stars.

The regular burgers were good but the chicken patties were definitely not as good. It just is not the same flavor as when this place was a BurgerIM. The patty is even shaped differently so I wasn't a fan. Also, the onion rings were crisped to perfection but the same care was not given to the fries. They were soggy and undercooked. Thank goodness I have an air fryer.

I stopped in tonight to try out Darya Restaurant and more specifically the gyro plate, which is one…read moreof my favorites. It was slow tonight when I came in so the service was prompt and the man behind the counter was very friendly and asked several questions I had about the menu and about halal food in general. He taught me a few new things about middle eastern food and he was very helpful in that regard. I ordered the gyro plate and at the last minute decided to just eat in rather than take-out. So, I had a seat and the man at the counter brought out a very delicious chicken and corn chowder which was an unexpected surprise and I really enjoyed it greatly. Then, as I finished the soup, he brought out the gyro plate which was stacked generously with rice, meat, sauce with lettuce, tomato and onions. The meat was delicious, the Greek tzatziki cucumber sauce was very good also. Overall, for a very reasonable cost of about $15 I had a very satisfying meal that I struggled to even finish. Very good value. I will return with the family and I can recommend Darya to anyone looking for a meal! I did notice some very negative reviews, and I suspect that this could be related to cultural misunderstandings perhaps? English is clearly not the first language for the people running this restaurant so I think it's important to understand that perhaps it's a good policy to level expectations to that fact.

Pieces of flavorless boneless chicken chunks thrown in with rice. It is not biryani. No chutney, no raita, no salan. The chicken was so dry, we couldn't eat it. The picture is what we threw away. It gave the entire house stomach issues. 0/5 stars -Go to Curry Leaves in Rocklin Chicken Tikka Masala was super sweet with old chicken. The chicken was mushy like a baked potato. It's tikka masala, not tikka gulab jamun. I honestly think they served the chicken from the day old or longer buffet.

It was plain with butter. 1/5 stars. -Go anywhere else I hate to leave this review, but if you have eaten at a quality Indian restaurant, cafe, chaat house, or even hole in the wall you would realize the overwhelming disappointment in flavor, preparation, pricing and commitment to quality. The kicker, guy that handed me the food said we are making it all fresh for you right now...these were leftovers from their buffet I suspect. Sad I had to post, would love a quality Indian option in the area, you will have to drive elsewhere. I challenge those that love this place to measure it against Trader Joe's frozen entree options. ¼ of the price, more flavor and tastes fresher...which is crazy for me to say, I know, but try it. Extremely disappointed patron....oh and don't use the left door, you will walk right into their Open Hours sign face first...saw a man do it on his way out. I wish I saw Monica's review before mine, but Yelp decides to default to the best reviews first. Yikes!!

They just buy everything at a discount and pile it up and sit on it if somebody buys it. Big advice try anything before you buy it even better don't even try just walk away. The meat doesn't look fresh either. It's really a sad affair what happened with all the afghanis coming into Sacramento, they bought all the grocery stores and restaurants to open Afghani restaurants and grocery stores, there is one on every damn block and sometimes two or three across from each others. How many Afghani restaurants or grocery stores do we need? They can survive making $100 a year and write off taxes. We no longer have Mediterranean food meaning food from the Mediterranean like Lebanese or Syrian or Jordanian food, it all has been taken over by afghanis and they pretend to cook Mediterranean food when it's not. Afghani food is primarily meat and rice and they wouldn't know a vegetable to save their lives when Mediterranean food is primarily vegetables balanced with some meat. Stay away from this rotten place and be cautious about other Afghani stores as well, it's pretty much the same quality and story.

SEE REVIEWS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. Appears it's under new ownership…read more One of the worst eatery places I've ever experienced. How is this a sit-down restaurant but no bathroom for your customers???? They have a "No Public Restroom" sign inside the restaurant. How are you not available to take orders during lunch hour on a weekend because you're praying...right in front of the register??? This is not Afghanistan. I ordered the chicken plate to go. The chicken tasted old like it was made a day or two before AND it tasted like it was boiled. It had absolutely NO flavor. There was a VERY small portion of chicken and lots of rice. The rice tasted ok but you could tell it was not made the same day. I took one bite and tossed the entire thing. The bolani was just ok, no salt. The so called chatty sauce was so watered down. I was excited to support this small business, especially as an Afghan. I was absolutely disappointed and nearly disgusted by my experience here. I will NEVER return nor will I ever recommend this place. I would not be surprised if they go out of business soon.

I would give zero stars if that were an option. While other staff members were polite and…read moreprofessional, my experience with the cashier was unacceptable. On June 22 at approximately 2:30 PM, the cashier on duty repeatedly left the cash register and walked around the store. During this time, she engaged in an argument with me that escalated into intimidating and harassing behavior. At one point, she made physical contact with customers, which felt inappropriate and raised serious safety concerns. The cashier was wearing a white top and a jean skirt, and her face was partially covered. Her conduct was aggressive, unprofessional, and inconsistent with the expected duties of a cashier, which should include remaining at the register, assisting customers respectfully, and maintaining a safe environment. Due to this behavior, I felt uncomfortable and unsafe and chose to leave the store without completing my purchase. I was able to buy the same items at another location without issue. I strongly recommend that management review surveillance footage from the specified date and time and take appropriate corrective action. Customers should not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, or unwanted physical contact while shopping.

But unfortunately, with so many other options available, this probably won't be my first choice. Take-out ordering was convenient but we did have to wait awhile for our food, despite arriving when they said it would be ready. My order consisted of naan, fried fish, shahi paneer, and prawn masala. We also ordered rice, and at most places it's a giant to-go plate of rice, but here it was a small box, which was obviously disappointing (and annoying), especially since all the other portions were pretty big. Why give a big vat of butter chicken and only a small box of rice?? But overall the food was pretty much 3 stars. Solid, but not outstanding.
