    Combination Kabob
    Kimi S.

    This was hands down the worst take out food my husband and I have experienced in the entire 5 years we have been in the Bay Area/Livermore. First, their prices here are $2-3 higher than they are on their website. Second they charge $2.50 for a credit card fee and don't warn you about this, I would've paid in cash but they didn't say anything. After tip I spent $50 on my husband's combination kabob and my sabzi challow (spinach and rice). So I took my order home noting how we were having some fabulously expensive Afghani food, and was SHOCKED at the portion size. The third thing that sent me over the edge was how ACTUALLY BAD the food was. No one was dining here at prime dinner time so that should've tipped me off. I'd say never again but I don't think they will be in business much longer with how expensive and disappointing this place is.

    I've tried the Fremont branch & was glad to find this closer. I love their Quabili Pallow there. It was just as delicious here. This dish is a fun experience for me. It is seasoned lamb covered in seasoned basmati rice topped with carrots & raisins. You have to dig through the rice to find the most tender lamb! Be careful not to spill the rice off the place though. There is a big mound of it. Though this was lunch & dinner for me, I had enough for another meal the next day! I paired this with hot sweetened chai for the perfect meal on a cold rainy night! The dining room is quaint & tastefully decorated with cultural art. Service is attentive, prompt, & friendly. Definitely coming back.

    Qorma Challow with Chicken

    My husband really liked his kebab. I really like chickpeas, but the sauce is a little too rich for me, the chicken was very tender that was super good but I still finished. It. Service was good. The lady was very attentive. It's a small place but it's quaint and casual. Easy parking and close to home. Price was not bad.

    We came here for lunch, it was a slow,so we got to sit down right away! The restaurant has outdoor & indoor seating, great art to admire while eating. The waitress was very pleasant and kind, great customer service. The food was delicious and full of flavor, I had the lamb kabob, great portions it's served with rice , a cucumbers salad & sesame pitta. My friend who happens to be from Afghanistan, mentioned that the food is authentic! That makes me happy The restaurant is clean & there's parking in front (it has meters) or a big parking garage around the corner, a 2 minute walk !

    Very friendly and quick service, lowkey interior. The chicken kabob was perfectly cooked and juice- delicious! Definitely order the Bolani- this is a potato filled "turnover" and a classic Afghani dish.

When you walk in the first thing you'll notice is how open, bright, and clean this cafe is along with a friendly "ciao, welcome" from the owner. There were so many delicious gelato flavors to choose from but I ultimately went with the Amarena cherry flavor. It was so good and had the same sticky consistency of gelato I had in Italy.

The staff member was helpful and nice and let us sampled some flavors before we decided on one. The hazelnut was delicious, but we ended up getting a scoop of the almond. The almond flavor was very present, which we liked. There were also little almond bits. The texture of the gelato itself was creamy and smooth. It did melt really quickly though. Even when we were first handed the cup, it was already melting. That's the only thing I wished was different. This was my first time here so I could only speak from this one experience. Maybe it was just this day. Otherwise, we loved it!

She also made us feel taken cared of and was friendly/warm. The food is a mix of mexican/euro/american so there were a lot of different options. Here are the things we got: Appetizers - Parm crusted cauliflower: so good, nice and crunchy but not too heavily breaded. The chipotle mayo was delish - Chicharrones: so light and crispy! They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!

Range Life was one of those discoveries, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. I started with the Halibut Crudo, followed by the Sonoma Coast Ling Cod, and finished with the Milk & Honey dessert. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Halibut Crudo was fresh, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The Ling Cod was cooked flawlessly and paired with ingredients that complemented rather than competed with the fish. Then came the Milk & Honey dessert. Without question, it was the best dessert I've ever had. And that's saying something because I've enjoyed some incredible desserts over the years. The textures, flavors, and creativity came together in a way that was unforgettable. It wasn't just dessert--it was an experience. I don't particularly enjoy dining alone, but the food was so exceptional that it didn't matter. From the first course to the last spoonful, every dish had its own personality. The restaurant was lively and energetic, the service was attentive, and the entire experience felt intentional from start to finish. Some meals fill your stomach. Others create a memory. This one did both. I'll absolutely be back.

They sell a ham & cheese croissant, coffees, teas, lattes, and four flavors of Japanese shaved ice called kakigori, which is the star of the show. The texture of this shaved ice is like fluffy cool softness that melts in your mouth. It is different than the traditional shaved ice and it is far from a snow cone. We ordered mango and kinako (a roasted soybean flour commonly mixed with sugar). These are large desserts! It takes time to make them since there are fresh ingredients inside. The mango was superb with little bits of fresh mango buried inside the ice. Not sickeningly sweet like the syrups most places use. My husband's had little mochi pieces mixed inside. It is common to add kinako to mochi so this was a bonus and a nice surprise. The kinako dessert was sweeter than the mango. Please know that there seems to be no a/c in this little shop but she has fans going. We went in the late afternoon so it was really uncomfortable inside. I had to leave and wait outside until the dessert was ready. It's hard to take these home as it melts fast so we sat inside to enjoy them. It was like heaven in my mouth and it cooled me down instantly. You must be patient as it takes at least 10-15 minutes for her to prepare the desserts but it is worth the wait! There is a small parking lot right in front shared with other businesses. Located right off the freeway behind Burger King.

Another group with 4 people walked in about 15 min later after us with no reservations but they were seated almost immediately. The hostess did not acknowledge us nor said anything. Awhile after that I counted 3 different groups leaving - a tota of 8 people. We waited patiently and kept waiting thinking we would be seated. 20 minutes slowly pass by, then another 5, then another 5.. I looked over and saw two tables completely empty. I was literally outside the door after about 45inutes and my phone buzzed. Come to find out that they had 3 open tables available the entire time. The decor is tiki themed along with the drinks however the music playing in the background was jazz. Not sure how that fits the theme. Also, the drinks averaged about $20 and small bites and desserts ranged from $13-$20. I'm torn about wanting to return here.
