    4. Lamb Kabob
    Elizabeth A.

    Location Just off 301. Parking Large lot-lots of space. Service Easy online order. Omar was very friendly and provided outstanding service. The executive Chef was there to greet me and attend to the food. Food We had the lamb kabob-very tasty. Omar offered us a variety of sauces which were all tasty. They substituted the spinach for cabbage-which was fine with us. Amazing! Served with pita. The rice was light and fluffy. The large salad was large-chopped well, and fresh. Summary Local, easy to order, friendly and attentive service, healthy food that is definitely gourmet! Delish!

    1. Boneless Chicken Kabob
    Artiium A.

    Good Day good people! We have another spot that I needed to review,. If you been with me, you know how I like to do it, we rate, atmosphere, service and of course FOOD!! Let's get into it! Atmosphere (4.5 Stars) from the outside, it looks very dingy, for the longest I didn't go because I judged the outside (I normally don't do that lol) but I'm new to the area so at first it didn't do it for me. However inside it's definitely a friendly vibe. Service (5 Stars) the cook and the gentleman behind the register are great and friendly! Every time I go they have me laughing and make me feel like my business is important. If I could give them 10 stars I would for service! Food (5 Stars) I am NEVER disappointed! Everything is flavorful and seasoned!! This isn't just edible, it's actually GOOD! There's a difference. I had the Boneless Chicken chunks with rice and potatoes, wife had Tikki Marsala, with Naan.

    Lamb chops

    I was craving some food on a random day and decided to do research on yelp and came across this establishment. It had five stars so I knew it had to be great. However, I was not impressed unfortunately. I ordered a lamb chops, which came with rice, a vegetable and a salad and of course the non-bread, the food was average. I cannot comment on the service and or the ambience in the establishment as it's just a carryout and I do not recommend eating there.

    Lamb Kabob with Chickpeas and side of Potato Curry - delish!
    Roshelle B.

    Hubby and I were craving some lamb one COVID-mandatory-quarantined evening and KabobBQ was a top local result! We placed our orders conveniently online (I got the lamb kabobs with chickpeas and a side of potato curry and my husband ordered the lamb chops) and made our way for pick-up. Upon arrival we had to wait about 5 additional minutes (in our vehicle) which was no biggie at all because the kind gentleman brought out our food once it was done. The ride home was the worst - argh! My food was finger licking! The lamb was done to perfection, my chickpeas were seasoned perfectly, the potato curry was drool worthy (mind you I was going out on a limb ordering this as I had never had it and I'm glad I did), my side salad was FRESH and the perfect compliment, and the buttery naan was pillowy soft!!! I truly enjoyed my dinner! My husband on the other hand said his lamb chops were too spicy, but I disagree. I'm kicking myself for always passing by this spot and not stopping in until now. This was my first visit but def not my last!

    Shrimp skewer meal with chick peas as the side
    Crystal C.

    The food at KabobBQ is delicious. That's not my issue. If you order online you pre-pay. I love the lambchops but literally 50% of the time I order either it charges me but says the restaurant didn't get the order or it charges me then I get a call saying they're canceling because they don't have lamb chops. There has to be a way for them to not let you order if an item isn't available. Today I ordered the shrimp skewer meal and added an extra skewer and the shorted me 1 shrimp. The skewers are 4 shrimp each but I only got 11 shrimp. I have only had one occasion where there wasn't an issue. Again, the food is delicious so I'll go again but I won't go out of my way for it because of the fear of disappointment

    Lamb Biryani
    John L.

    My wife and I have been looking for good Indian food. This restaurant serves an Afghan version of Indian food. The vast majority of their reviews focus on the kabobs. They missed some great food here because this place is more than just kabobs!! We tried 8 dishes on 2 visits: Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Biryani, Beef Wrap, Salmon Kabob, Shrimp Kabob, a side of spinach, and a side of Naan. The Naan is made in-house. On the first visit, it was hard and inedible. We told them on our second visit. We were given a second naan for free. That was great customer service!  It was chewy and a little crispy hard around the edge. The flavor was typical white flatbread. It was not worth the price.    The spinach dish had boiled spinach with a blend of simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and maybe garlic. It was bland. The Palak Chaat or Palak Paneer might be better.    The Shrimp Kabob had 4 shrimps. They were 21/25 size shrimp. It had a strong grilled flavor with a peppery marinade. They were tender and moist and the shrimp flavor was good. It's definitely worth getting!    The Salmon Kabob was one slice of salmon filet, about 4 inches long. It had a slight grilled flavor and a moderate salmon flavor with a hint of salt and pepper. It was tender and somewhat moist. A simple dish that was good tasting, but not great. The kabobs came with dipping sauces. There was a green sauce, a white sauce, and a hot sauce. The hot sauce was ground red peppers in water. It was extremely hot. It's that simple.    The green sauce tasted like it had mint, salt, pepper, vinegar, and a leafy green herb flavor. No heat in this sauce.    The white sauce tasted like a ranch dressing that was sour and peppery. These sauces were interesting and different from other Indian dipping sauces that we've had. Did we love them? They were okay. We've had better.    The Lamb Biryani had pieces of lamb, basmati rice, and yellow curry. It was spicy hot and flavorful; however, the overwhelming heat from the hot peppers in the curry needs to be reduced a little so the spices and seasonings can be appreciated. The basmati rice was cooked well. The lamb was tender and had a slightly gamey flavor. Overall, this dish had a pleasing combination of flavors that worked well together except for the excessive hot peppers. You can ask for a specific spice heat level. It ranges from 1 to 10. They use jalapeño peppers for heat. You can ask for no hot peppers also.    The Lamb Curry had chunks of lamb meat in an onion spice sauce. It came with basmati rice. We asked for heat at a 5 level. It was crazy hot! So, what is a 10? A flame thrower?!  In between bites, with some milk to drink, I could tell that the curry had many complementary ingredients of herbs, spices, and seasonings. With less hot pepper, this dish would be delicious. The lamb was moist, tender, and not gamey in flavor. My wife didn't mind the heat, so she loved it.    The Chicken Tikka Marsala had marinated chicken meat pieces with chopped onions in a tomato cream sauce. It came with basmati rice. It was slightly hot even though we ordered it without hot pepper. That was a mistake on their part. But we enjoyed it anyway. The chicken was tender and moist. This dish had a flavorful blend of spices and seasonings in the sauce and chicken. The tomato and cream flavors were balanced nicely. The flavor profile was well-rounded which made it satisfying and tasty.    The Beef Wrap had a soft corn tortilla filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, a piece of ground beef, and white sauce. The tortilla was huge compared to the filling. There was a small amount of tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. There was one strip of beef made of seasoned ground beef. It was small in size. The beef flavor and seasoning were mild. Basically, it was a corn tortilla with a little flavor from the filling. It was not worth the money.    The dining room and restrooms were clean. There were 9 tables and 19 chairs indoors. There is no outdoor seating. Omar, Chef Hashim's son, was friendly, helpful, and informative. You can watch kabobs being grilled while you wait. It took some time for food to be prepared, like 35 minutes for a biryani, 2 kabobs, naan, and spinach. Good food takes time to make. We were pleasantly surprised to find some outstanding dishes here! We'll be returning for our favorites and to try some new dishes.

    Grilled shrimp platter over basmati rice with curried potatoes
    Cookie L.

    I love this place. I love the flavors and the customer service. Both of these dishes were great. Seasoned perfectly. I personally like the drier rice but I know some don't. Just keep that in mind. They give you fresh Naan bread with your platters. Their green sauce and the spicy one are both delicious. Ask for extra if you use a lot of sauces. NY favorite side dish is the curried chickpeas. They are flavorful and tender. The spinach is awesome as well. I didn't give it a 5 because I think their prices are a little high for the portions they give. Otherwise, I love them.

    7. Paneer Shashlik with chickpeas and no rice
    Gina G.

    What a hidden gem! This place may not look like much on the outside but it's worth a visit. I picked up a to-go order and the car smelled amazing the whole drive home. We loved the chicken kabob--cooked perfectly, with barbecue crispy outside, and juicy meat inside. The curries were also deliciously bold with plenty of seasoning, aroma, and creaminess. The sauces that accompany the dishes also enhance the flavors. Highly recommend for a decadent dinner!

    Salmon and Shrimp Kabob Combo
    Alicia W.

    My husband and I drove 50 minutes to try this place out due to the reviews. We easily found it located right off 301. The parking lot has an odd layout but that's not a big deal. The place is relatively small inside with about 5 tables. Right when I walked in I noticed two things, how cold it was and this loud, high pitched whistling noise. That's ultimately why I took one star off because we dined in and both the cold and sound were bothersome. That aside, the food and service were great. We both got a combo. I had the shrimp and salmon kabob combo. The combos come with salad, rice, bread and a vegetable. It's a great deal. The shrimp and salmon had great flavor and were cooked perfectly as were the rice and potatoes. The potatoes could've used a bit more salt in my opinion. They gave us ranch for the salad but I noticed unlike traditional ranch it had a bit of a kick. They also gave us 3 sauces, a vinegar based sauce, one yogurt based, and a spicy sauce. I loved the spicy sauce but beware, it's spicy like ghost pepper or reaper, not jalapeño or even habanero. I tried to order the palak chaat but they didn't have any unfortunately. We took a rice pudding and baklava to go. The rice pudding was ok but the baklava was amazing. My husband and I agreed it was the best we've ever had. We will definitely be back when we're in the area.

Most of the people that we ate with ended up with some type of lamb dish and the lamb was phenomenal. The rice was delicious. The eggplant was delicious. We got a bunch of appetizers. Everything was on point. Everything tasted super fresh and overall we had a very nice experience. The food also came out very quickly. The overall ambience was very nice very home type vibe and it is a smaller restaurant for limited tables One of our friends that we went with since we haven't seen each other for a long time was really craving a beer and kebabs which sometimes a little bit harder than one would anticipate but they served alcohol as well as delicious food so win-win here. So overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want delicious Afghan food, but of course remember to book in advance .

Beet salad: 3.5/5 this was an arugula salad with maybe half a beet cut up on top. The description of ingredients were flakes of toppings. I had to request more beets as there were few.

First impression when walking in was it was a converted Ruby Tuesday, but WOW, they did an EXCELLENT job from replacing the entire ceiling, flooring, tables/booths and even the window shades, to fully updating the restroom too, they clearly dumped a lot of money and effort into this place and it shows! The buffet looks beautiful, not grimey and messy, rather all food items are in clamshell heated servers, which kept the food fresh and piping hot. The offering was excellent, with a plain rice and a more elaborate rice, called Palau. The Qaubili Palau was incredible! Loaded with fresh ingredients and made with an outstanding quality basmati! The lamb that was in it was super tender and not gamey at all, rather perfectly seasoned and sooo very tasty! They also offered a more plain rice, which was slightly seasoned and also very good! Another fav of mine were their meatballs... they tasted like a mild lamb and were just as tender as that too (not sure if they're lamb tho). Flavor of the curry they were in was excellent! Their chick peas and subzi (spinach) were excellent alternatives for those not wanting meat... I definitely enjoyed a few servings of these!! Chicken kabob was beautiful in color and nicely flavored with a tenderness that was spot-on. Service was friendly and they even sincerely cared how the food was, by asking. I'd definitely suggest stopping in to try it for yourself and I look forward to returning, soon!

    Six of us were staying in a hotel near enough to walk to this restaurant. The server suggested we…read moreorder the family-style meal, so we did. Wow! Everything was so delicious! Dish after dish was brought out, each with its own unique taste. Vegetables, lamb, meatballs, rice, all tasted great. Two oldsters, two 50-somethings and two teens gobbled it all up.

    I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this was my second poor experience with the same…read moreserver, so I felt it was worth sharing. I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.
