Went here for dinner with family. Honestly, best chicken curry I've ever tasted! The worker was nice and helped out with the menu, and the serving size was just right. I wish I could stomach more though, I would've eaten more of their curry. I've tried the beef and grilled chicken from my family's plates and they were delicious too! The rice was well-cooked and overall, 10/10. Even now as I'm writing this I'm craving their food. read more

The food is cooled, the taste was not good, not fresh meat, the vegetables are barely washed, the rice is not cooked. Don't go to this place in my opinion. WASTE OF MONEY read more

Ordered the combination kabob (chapli kabob + beef kabob) and it was ready within 15 minutes for takeout. Definitely a hearty meal but didn't feel too heavy afterwards which I liked. Both meats were cooked really well. I liked the chapli kabob better than the beef kabob because it was softer with more flavor. The beef kabob was good too but stringy in some parts. Both meats had a good charred taste to them and flavors were definitely there. read more

A halal gem right between Mission College and Great America! I met up with my friends here on a Friday night, and it wasn't busy at all. The interior looks modest. It's because it's geared more as a take-out, casual restaurant, where you go in and order your food at the cashier. Still, there are tables to sit down and dine in, so we waited around 15 minutes for all of our food to arrive. I got the Roasted Lamb entree, which consists of tender leg lamb pieces with rice, salad, and sauce. The lamb was so juicy and tender, even my friends who had a bite of it admitted they were jealous of my order. For a casual joint, Fremont Kabob did an amazing job making everything taste really good. In my opinion, I have personally been to halal places with better value in terms of their food, pricing, and restaurant environment. Nonetheless, this is a great place to try if you are in the Santa Clara area! read more

Ya hard pass on this establishment. Everything tasted old/stale Beef kabob has so much meet tenderizer on it, makes a creamy like film on the meat. So not tri tip, just a cheap cut. read more

Literally one of my favorite places to have lunch. The service is quick, the food is delicious, and its always pretty busy but there are always seats for individual or group seating. read more

Nice to see an authentic and casual Afghan joint in the Fremont area! It was a quiet Tuesday night but this place was quite packed. Nice cozy aesthetics on the inside with traditional furniture. Service was good and they were able to provide items that weren't explicitly on the menu as well. The meats were cooked very nicely, and their rice also tasted like a lot of care was put into cooking it. I think the highlight is definitely all of their desserts though! Especially the Sheer Chai (Afghan milk tea) - I would've drank 10 if I had the stomach space! read more

Wow the food here is excellent! The shami kabob was the best kabob I have ever had! The spices and tenderness of the kabob yum! Lamb chops were so tender, melt in your mouth but crispy on the outside. This place is actually authentic, the flavors and food are the best. All meat is halal. Customer service is also great, employees are very kind and friendly. They check to make sure everything is okay. I would highly recommend this place. Placing this on the list of favorite halal restaurants. read more

I haven't had better afghani food in the South Bay. I recommend the quabli with lamb shank and the beef kababs. The green sauce is to die for. read more

We got chicken kebab and chicken koorma. The plates came with rice, side of chickpeas, afghan bread and cucumber+tomato salad. What worked: The chicken kebabs and the chicken in the koorma were delectably amazing. Incredibly soft, beautifully cooked and well flavored. I highly recommend getting their chicken kebabs. The rice was delicious as well, separate grains and again perfectly cooked. They were like pearls. What did not work: The chickpeas came with some very sour watery gravy which also had some bits of potato in it. It was too tart for my personal liking. Having eaten some stellar korma in the past, I was forced to compare it with their take on this iconic dish which unfortunately fell short. It was too tomatoey and there was no richness or finesse in the gravy. The cucumber and tomato salad was limp. read more

Fremont Kebab in Santa Clara is hands down one of my favorite spots. They have the best kebab meal--perfectly cooked kebab with rice, fresh salad, and delicious garbanzo beans. The Afghan food here is incredible, easily one of the best Afghan restaurants around. Every time I'm in the area, I always stop by for lunch or dinner. It's an absolute must-try! read more

I had a huge Afghan food craving, and noticed that this was super close to the church I go to. I ordered the lamb korma, and the food was decent. The lamb was really tender and just fell off the bone, which was great. The tomato and garlic sauce was nicely pureed, but a bit bland. I couldn't taste the garlic at all. The basmati rice was fine, but I was surprised it wasn't seasoned. The workers got my food out pretty fast, which was awesome, and it wasn't too loud inside, apart from the cooking. read more

Fremont has all the good Afghan restaurants, this Santa Clara outpost was just as good. The ambiance was casual, you order at the front counter and they will bring you the food. Got the usual items: bolani, Korma Chicken, qabili palau. All were excellent: bolani was piping hot and aromatic with delish fillings, Korma chicken with the addictive sauce, qabili palau lamb was juicy, falls off the bone and not gamey at all. read more

My first time having afghani food! The place is a cozy space. They have option to get take out or dine in as well. We got the borani badinjon, mantoo, mixed lamb and chicken kebab, and the firni and baklava for dessert. All were super delicious, the firni and baklava were a bit small, but would 100% get everything else again! Definitely worth a visit read more

Very delicious afghani food, its very underrated but have to try this one. The way they cooked especially the chicken kabob is very tasty filling, tenderness of the meat and the texture of the rice. The chickpea pickle on the side is very tangy and good, first time trying and very good when you mixup with the chicken kabob and rice. Adding the green sauce with the kabob is very flavorful. Takes about 15min time when you order to dine-in, but worth waiting. Highly recommends this restaurant and coming back for sure to try the other kabobs. read more

My husband discovered this restaurant near his workplace, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the chicken korma with rice, along with the chicken kebab and Chopan kebab.

Have been wanting to come back here since I don't live in town. Finally made it in and I swear the food wasn't as good as it was when I came before. The meat didn't seem as tender or flavorful. Still flavorful and good but not outstanding like I remember. read more

Food was pretty bland, not as appetizing as it looks, Lamb was great. And a bit pricey

It's solid but definitely not the best you can find in the Bay Area. Service was nice and friendly, we ordered takeout but the ambiance was not really inviting regardless. Good for a nice cheap(ish) meal! Baklava was delicious read more

Came here for 4th of July just as all the firework shows were starting. As the chaos approached the entire staff was cool, calm and collected and brought our food out quickly. The food tasted very fresh and every meat was juicy. Staff was very friendly even though it was very busy. read more

This place is solid and authentic, clean and new on the inside. Menu is compact and straightforward. Combination Kabab Savory beef and lamb kabab, zesty chicken kabab rests on a thick bed of fluffy jasmine rice sprinkled with tahini powder. Comes with a cup of crispy, cool veggies and a cup of beans. Potato appetizer - and Afghan treat? I would eat this sparingly because it makes for excellent leftover snacks or even a small hot breakfast (add hot sauce) great munchie option. They pack it in a pizza box. No reservations about coming back. That's all. read more

The 3 meat combo, rice and naan were quite the flavorful punch I was looking for to satisfy my hunger. Very filling and I also had gotten a side of curry and extra naan. Service was great they even brought me my to go order outside to my car as I waited for my food. The place was nice and clean plus I loved the song in the background. read more

Alright honest review time So basically came here after Jummah and wanted to try it out. Parking was alright, little tight since it's in a parking lot shared with other food places Inside was nice, good amount of tables and it is self service to get your napkins and plastic utensils (quite disappointing instead of metal). They had music going on in background, would recommend to remove that since it's not needed as well. Food came in a good amount of time like 10-20min of wait time and it was fresh. The brown rice was an extra $2 extra since default for the kabob/chicken platter is white rice. We got the sultan kabab to try 3 diff meats and review them. The paper plate was quite a disappointment since it makes the portions smaller especially when ordering a 3 combination platter. The chicken botis were good and juicy, same for the beef and they gave 4 of each. The chapli was one large piece and it was good too. The downside was the quantity of rice given and it lacked flavor, although it was brown colored. It was enough for 2 people to share one platter that we had got. Soda can was about $4 for 2 cans. Also there was no traditional afghan bread served complimentary that you normally get at other afghan places. Think of this place as like an expensive fast food afghan type spot that's also pricey (but then again it's afghan food which is pricey) and it's also located near work buildings and a community college. They gave a small container of chole and one of chopped vegetables (salad). The salad and the chole (garbanzo beans) were not good. The garbanzo beans and potato it was too sourish (but it was meh) rather have salad dressing than that. And the salad looked old and stale if you know what I mean. Overall the chicken was very good, the beef pieces was good and chapli could be a little more thicker. And be ready to pay up read more

I was in town recently. Saw this nearby on Yelp. Only a few minutes from my hotel. They have Bolani which is hard to find in a good restaurant in SoCal. We ordered food at the counter and sat down to wait for it. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The Bolani is really a large appetizer to share with others. Piping hot and served with yogurt. Also some sauces on the table were available to try with the Bolani. It was delicious. I haven't had it in a while so I forgot the other place in the city of Fremont to compare it to. But delicious nonetheless. The Shami kabobs were also good. Its served with rice and tomatoes cucumber salad. Food was overall good. I will stop by again when I'm in town. read more

Fremont Kabob Restaurant - Bolani . Potato and Leek. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I've never been to Fremont before.   I know, I know...I need to get out of my bubble but bridges and I aren't cool.   I've heard good things about Fremont Afghan Kebab so thank you for expanding and bringing that kebab love to the South Bay.   Fremont Kebab's second location opened in late September in the same plaza as HiroNori in Santa Clara. They're open for takeout, delivery (3rd party apps), and indoor dining. They were kind enough to bring a table outside for us to eat since TT is with me.   Fast-casual. Order at the counter and you're given a pager for when your order is ready for pick up at the counter. Staff wore masks and there's a plexi-glass barrier at the front counter.   M E N U Afghan cuisine using halal meats. Bolani (stuffed flatbread) and Mantoo (potstickers) are the most popular apps, Soups (lenthil), Kebabs/Entrees, and Desserts: Firni (pudding) and baklava. Vegetarian and vegan friendly.   Most mains are in the $16-$18 range with the most expensive being the triple kebab plate for $24.99. I don't think they offer brown basmati rice in this location? For drinks, they have an array of canned sodas, juices, and doogh (yogurt drink). Self-serve water available. F O O D: https://bit.ly/3crdtfZ * Mantoo: Afghan-style potstickers w/ ground beef, onions, and spices topped w/ yogurt and tomato sauce (6 pc app-$8.99) The potstickers have a thin, wonton-like skin and was filled with richly spiced, flavorful ground beef. But, upon picking up, the wrappers broke and the fillings fell out. The creamy yogurt and stewed tomatoes added a delicious tangy sweetness. Good flavors. * Lamb Shank Korma w/ fresh tomatoes, garlic, white rice ($17.99) My pick, the small shank was fork tender with a pleasant gamey flavor. The korma was one-note (just stewed tomatoes) so I used a lot of the green cilantro chutney (bright, acidic, and spicy) and side of yogurt. I think I'll go for the curry next time. The accompanying side of basmati rice was cooked well with nicely separated grains and a fluffy bite to it. You also get a small side of tangy, al-dente garbanzo beans and a cucumber & tomato salad. * Kebab Combo: Chapli Afghan Burger & Lamb Chops w/ white rice ($19.99 + $2 lamb upgrade) Not my order but I did try some. The chapli was the better of the two; like a spiced smashed patty with a browned crust and deliciously crispy edges. The thin lamb loin chops are cooked really well-done but that's usually case with Middle Eastern kebabs. I think our order was supposed to come with Afghan naan but I think they forgot. * Side of Yogurt ($3.99) Nice, thick consistency with a mild tang. I like dunking all the meats into this. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Arrived when they opened on a Saturday. No line and our order took less than 15 minutes. A M B I A N C E Casual, clean, and modern with about 7-8 tables inside. P A R K I N G Shared parking lot and it gets busy with the HiroNori crowd. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Fremont Kebab. If you're craving kebabs, give this new business a try, THEN grab a bánh mì next door at the newly opened Bánh Mì & Bowls for later! read more

Am I overall an experience was very good and I appreciate your employee Amer!he had a very good service

The yelp reviews for this restaurant are very misleading. The food was overpriced, and the quantity/quality was terrible. I spent $105 for 4 people. They charged extra for brown/seasoned rice without advising me of the added cost. Most afghan places allow substitution for no cost. The chapli kabob was SOGGY. The portions of chicken were small. They don't serve complimentary bread like most afghan restaurants. I won't return here. read more

They increased the price, reduced the size of chicken kababs and overall quantity. Terrible, when you are increasing price, why are you making fool of customers by reducing the piece size? It's half now. read more

We ordered the chicken kebab over rice. We tried to substitute the rice for veggies without much luck. The chicken is very fresh and flavorful. Very middle eastern in make up. The rice was fresh as well. We got it to go and unfortunately did not get to eat it for a couple of hours but still it was very tasty and flavorful. Imagine the taste if it was fresh. read more

I've been to this restaurant twice and had meals there. The food tastes good and the quality is also nice. However, their special kebab is very spicy, and they should inform customers that it's extremely spicy. One downside is that the food here isn't cheap, and I expected it to be served on normal plates, but it was served in paper containers with plastic spoons that break while eating -- I really didn't like that. read more
