    Chicken Schwarma bowl
    Cecilia R.

    Service was amazing and the staff was friendly. It was my first time there so I asked for recommendations and it was followed up with questions to gauge my taste, which was in point. My bowl was delicious and definitely plan to return for future luncheons.

    So delicious! They load it up, super generous with our portions in my opinion, and great fresh ingredients. The worker said they make everything like it's home made, from scratch, and I can definitely tell. It tasted comforting! I love falafel, and he gave me a lot of pieces, and everything in my plate was seasoned so well. We also got their baklava, and it was crispy, airy, and super light. Most baklava that I've had, were way too sweet. But theirs is amazing and made fresh. The worker was great! He was chatting with us while making our food and he was really kind.

We got our favorite Afghan dishes: Chicken kabobs with extra chicken (charbroiled chicken with brown rice and crispy salads), Bolani (with chives and mashed potatoes), our most loved mantoos (ground beef with tomatoes/yogurt sauce), our favorite rice dish Qabuli (basmati rice with lamb, topped with sweet carrots and raisins), and hummus (the best creamy chickpeas). We always enjoyed our food from Chopan. The only criticism is that the order took longer than they told us (20 minutes longer.) but the food was well worth it.

She'd noticed my growing curiosity about Afghan cuisine from a previous visit elsewhere and gently pointed me toward Chopan Kabob House, insisting it was worth the experience. There was something comforting in that recommendation--like being guided toward a place that already held meaning for someone you trust. When I arrived, I was immediately struck by the restaurant's clean, welcoming atmosphere. The space felt intentional--nicely furnished without being overwhelming, simple yet warm. I mentioned I was ordering takeout, and the gentleman behind the counter handed me a menu. At first glance, it seemed straightforward, but the more I looked, the more it felt thoughtfully curated--each item carrying a sense of tradition and care. Wanting a proper introduction, I chose the Combination Kabob with Tikka and chicken. It felt like the right balance--a way to experience more in a single meal. I was told it would take about 20 minutes, and as I sat waiting, I found myself appreciating that detail. In a world built on speed, those 20 minutes felt reassuring. It suggested intention, freshness, and the kind of cooking that isn't rushed. When I finally brought the meal home and opened the container, I was genuinely surprised. The portions were generous--almost abundant. A vibrant salad added a refreshing contrast, while the long-grain rice was fragrant and perfectly cooked. Then there were the stars of the meal: the Tikka beef and the chicken, both beautifully prepared. Each bite carried depth--layers of spices and seasoning that felt both bold and comforting. It wasn't just flavorful; it felt rooted in something deeper, something traditional. By the time I finished, I realized this wasn't just a satisfying meal--it was an experience that lingered. There's a certain nostalgia in discovering a place like this for the first time, especially through the recommendation of someone close to you. It feels personal, almost like being let in on a secret. I'm already looking forward to returning, perhaps next time to dine in and take in the full experience. And with a menu that promises more to explore, this feels less like a one-time visit and more like the beginning of a new favorite.

I wanted some real food and saw they were open. I went inside and was greeted by wonderful staff. I asked if the kitchen was open at 10:30am and they said yes.

There used to be a young employee who was always polite, welcoming, and consistent with pricing. I ordered a mango cake for a party that cost $57, and I felt it was well worth the price because it was delicious. However, when I ordered the exact same cake just two weeks later, the employee checked with the owner and suddenly the price increased to $75. The inconsistency didn't sit well with me, especially over such a short period of time. After that employee left, I interacted with the owner more often and unfortunately my experiences became increasingly negative. On one visit, my friends and I had purchased food and were enjoying our meal when a wedding party arrived. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner sent the cashier to our table and essentially asked us to leave so there would be room for the larger party. We had already paid for our meals (as customers) and were just sitting and enjoying our food, and the experience felt very disrespectful. On another visit, we stopped by with friends for pastries. While overseeing a remodeling project, the owner approached us and asked, "Are you going to be ordering food?" The tone made us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. The owner has seen us many times but behaves like she doesn't know us. This was especially disappointing considering how much money I had spent there over the years and how many friends and family members I had brought to support the business. The pastries and cakes are still very good, but customer service matters. Unfortunately, the way we were treated repeatedly made us feel unappreciated as loyal customers, and that's why I can no longer recommend the experience.
