We were traveling through Boise, spending the night and decided to have some ethnic food. A Yelp search showed Kabob House to have great ratings, so we decided to stop by. There is plenty of parking space in front and we were able to find several items from their extensive menu of Afghan and Persian food and ordered a few for us. All of the appetizers and entrees we ordered were delicious. The desserts were oh so sweet and tasted great with the tea they served. The good atmosphere, great food and fantastic customer service make this a place I would want to go back to again. Very highly recommended! read more

Went here last night with a friend and honestly? One of those nights that reminds you why going out to eat is supposed to be fun. We were greeted immediately by the owner, who shook our hands, introduced himself, and instantly made us feel welcome. Like... genuinely welcome, not "hi table for two" welcome. When we were shown to our table, I noticed the raised platform where you can sit on the floor and was like, oh absolutely yes. We asked if we could sit there and suddenly we had this whole cozy room to ourselves. He even drew the curtain so it felt private and special -- chef's kiss. The food was incredible. The chicken marsala was out-of-this-world good, the naan was warm and delicious, and the kebabs were fresh with perfectly seasoned, tender meat. Everything tasted thoughtful and made with care. But the real standout? The service. Hands down. The owner kept checking in on us, making sure we were good, asking if we needed anything, joking with us -- just the right balance of attentive and chill. By the end of the night, he even shared a bit of his story and talked about where he lived in Afghanistan, which made the whole experience feel even more meaningful. We laughed, we lingered, we had the best time. If you're looking for something a little different, a little special, with incredible food and even better hospitality -- this is it. Go hungry, go curious, and don't skip the floor seating if you get the chance. read more

Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food at Kabob House. The lesson is not to "judge a book by its cover" because the ambiance isn't a good measure of the food. Really enjoyed the lamb, giant naan, delicious curry, and sweet Persian tea. So good, I added an extra to-go order! read more

This is my favorite place for Middle Eastern Cuisine. We ordered two different lamb dishes and the goat curry, and all were amazing. The customer care here is also outstanding. Shams, the owner, makes you feel very welcome and always ensures you have the best experience here. The ambience is also clean, and nice. This restaurant is my first choice when it comes to eat here in Meridia read more

Honestly one of the best places I've eaten here in Boise. It's very much a hidden gem! Food portion is pretty big and if you're waiting on food to go, the gentleman up front will usually bring you some tea if you're sitting alone. This place makes it feel like you're visiting a friend significantly better than just dining out. The staff is always so pleasant to be around! They can absolutely accommodate big families or just a couple. Either way you will always want to say goodbye vs just leaving after paying! read more

I been going to Kabob House for years. It's one of our favorite restaurants to go to. I love their food. Our favorites are Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken, Kofta Chalow and Naan. Most of the time the owner waited on us. He is so friendly and treated us like royalties. read more

I dated a middle eastern man for a few years and let me tell you, his family knew how to throw down. They honestly made the best kabobs, tea and hummus around. So, trying to eat these things at other joints without being too harsh is very hard. But, I decided to give Kabob house a try today. My dental assistant that was working on me went there for lunch and she very much enjoyed it so I took it as a sign to go. I did come in at an odd lunch hour. It was pushing 2 when I got there. There were a table of guests wrapping up and then me. The waiter was having his own lunch when I walked in. I gladly stopped what he doing and greeted me. He let me pick out a table so I headed to the other end of the restaurant to sit by myself. I was given a bottle of water and a few minutes to look over the menu. Everything looked good! I like that they have some of my favorites like butter chicken and hummus. I decided on the combination kabob. I snagged the chicken and beef shami. While I was waiting for the food to be prepared, I ordered some tea. I ordered the tea with the spices and the milk. I recently fell in love with the spiced tea at a local Indian restaurant that had similar spices. That tea was life changing. But unfortunately, I didn't get the tea with the milk. It was still good tea but I was hoping for the milk tea. It did feel like my food took forever to be prepared. But when it finally came out my plate looked amazing. I love when my food is charred. The chicken and beef kabob were both charred nicely! I got a beautiful helping of biriyani with some salad and fries I grabbed a fry first. Being an Idaho girl, of course I'm going to eat the potatoe first. Ya, I got served cold fries. I'm sure they were prepared earlier, left in a bowl and needed to be used up. I worked on my salad next. The dressing was clean and tart tasting. But my salad was wilted which was a bummer. I'm sure the salad would have tasted great if the salad mix was fresh. The salad mix tasted like a previously dressed that was dressed earlier, you ate some and decided to go back 30 minutes later to finish the rest. The biriyani was fluffy. Paired with either the chicken or beef kabob.... perfect bite! The beef kabob had a slight heat to it. It kinda crept up on you after you eat a few bites of it. The chicken was flavorful. The chicken was still tender despite it being white meat chicken. I appreciate how much chicken and beef you got in each kabob. I was only able to finish half. I really want to give this place 4 stars cause the service was great and the kabobs were tasty. But I can't get over my cold fries and wilted salad. I know those 2 things are the main stars of the dish but what a great combination it would have been to be able to eat the salad and chicken together. My server was really nice and grabbed me a to go cup for my tea. Even though the tea was good, I had wanted the other tea. Maybe it was the time that I went was the reason why my plate wasn't the best. So, I do look forward to coming back at a normal dining hour to hopefully have a better experience with the food and tea. read more

Eating here today was truly a delightful experience. Shams, the owner, was so generous and hospitable that it felt like I had been a long time friend of his.The food was sensational as well. I got the tikka kabobs, tikka masala, and lamb curry with naan and when I tell you...I was mesmerized with every bite. His recipes are so rich in flavor that it leaves you nearly speechless. Having the chai tea to go along with it was the cherry on top. I live in Emmett so it's quite the drive for me, but I cannot wait to come back! read more

Kabob House - Lamb Tikki Tekka Kabob - Afghan Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This has been on my radar for a few years, just never went. On a blustery cold March day, what better than a Lamb Biryani to warm the body and soul? The mixture of spices along with the marinade used for the lamb was outstanding. The Naan came out on a plate the size of a 1960's Cadillac hubcap. I knew this was going to be a great old-school lunch. There are bones in the lamb biryani, so chew slow and you will be safe. The chunks of lamb are huge and very tender. I loved the huge tropical fish tank at the front. It was very relaxing to watch. If you are not experienced in eating Middle East and Afgan meals, it may overwhelm you with the size of the dishes. There is always a take home box upon request. If you never have ventured into this style of cuisine, you have missed one of the great meals. Step up to the challenge and visit Kabob House. Totally recommend this establishment. read more

The lamb was grisly and the bread was microwaved and hard by the time we got it home. The cashier was inattentive when friends walked in and argumentative when placing the order, "you don't get a choice of meat. And you don't need more than 1 order of bread," until someone replaced him. Very disappointing since so many stars, but I wonder if they are under new management. read more

Absolutely delicious and authentic Afghani cuisine. The Chai tea is incredibly soothing and flavorful. I had the lentil soup and my husband had the mixed vegetable curry with rice. Both were outstanding. Also, the owner was very kind and informative. You have to try this eatery. P.S. the naan is the best we have ever had! read more

As someone from Fremont, CA--known as Little Kabul--and who's tasted Afghan food around the world, I can honestly say this is the best Afghan food I've had outside of Afghanistan itself! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, clearly made from the heart, and it's even better than the Afghan food I've had back home in California. The hospitality was next level too; we were welcomed like family, and it truly felt like we were dining in Afghanistan. I was so hooked that I picked up a container of the spice mix they use on everything. I've been putting it on all my foods at home--even my avocado toast! The owner needs to sell this stuff because it's amazing. If you're in Boise and haven't tried this place, you're missing out on an incredible experience. I can't wait to return! read more

This place is amaaaaaazing. We liked most of the things we ordered. The owner gave us some complimentary stuff. May be because it was our first time. The naan is not like we eat at Indian restaurants. This one was big , soft and tasty. The qabali pulow was our favorite. The lamb was cooked to perfection. It also has a lot of bone marrow. Our next favorite was mix vegetable sabji. It was delicious. I love vegetables. So this was perfect. I am not a huge fan of coriander seeds so that was the reason I did not like Chicken kabob. Coriander seeds has very strong taste. I think better to use powder for marination rather than seeds. Lastly, the tea was very refreshing and cozy. I usually drink tea made in Indian traditional way with milk and all. So I was surprised at myself for liking this tea without milk. Hands down, I am going to visit this place again. read more

Kabob House is a great choice, especially if you are in delivery mode. We ordered the samosa and the lamb biryani. Everything arrived on time and hot. There are three good size samosa to the order and they are accompanied by a mint chutney that has just the right combination of mint and coriander. The lamb biryani was a large portion (thank you for lunch tomorrow) and it was delicious. I appreciated the addition of potatoes and chickpeas which you often do not see in a biryani. I look forward to dining in soon. read more
