I was in the area and saw that Kabul House had amazing ratings on Yelp, so I started reading the reviews and saw that everyone on of my friends that had dined her (including 3 community managers and a Yelptern) had given them 5 stars. It was then I knew I had to try Kabul House! The experience definitely lived up to its reviews. We arrived for an early dinner at about 5 pm and were told that their specialty soup would not be ready which was a bummer. But at least I know everything is going to be fresh! Forgive me, this was my first Afghan dining experience, so I am not sure about the names of the dishes. For an appetizer we ordered the ravioli like dish. This was incredible and next time I will be ordering the entrée version of this for my dinner. For dinner, I had the lamb over spinach which I also loved. It came with lentil soup which I added the pomegranate seasoning too. The seasoning was different, but made the soup even better. read more

since I'm new to yelp, I told myself that I'm not going to leave reviews on every place I go unless I have been there frequently. Well in the last 2 months I have attended Kabul House 4 times, and have had all 4 of the lunch specials they offer. Each special is $7.50 and they come with soup and a generous amount of rice. The chicken and surprising the vegetarian platter were by far my favorites. The lentil soup was amazing where I wanted a refill. The service is good where my hot tea was never half empty. Everything was good on my first 4 visits, but there was one minor issue. I think I know all the music they play since I believe there were only 4-5 tracks being played, but besides that you guys should check this place out if you haven't. And its a byob spot since I saw a group of women bring in a couple bottles of wine. read more

I have been to Kabul house many times and the food is excellent and the servers are good. However, I had ordered a take-out lunch on 9/21 for pickup at 1:30PM (after work). My work meeting ended a little late and went to the restaurant around 1:50PM; and the hispanic short lady in the pcikup area tells me that my food was already picked-up---it was not. She became very rude and irate and basically trying to tell me that I am lying. She continued to be condescending and I had to ask my husband if he had picked it up---and he said "I have no car, how can i drive there?". This was a case of them giving someone else my order and yet blaming me for it. It has been my experience that this same lady always has an attitude and isnt friendly. Avoid her at all costs. read more

Since moving to Evanston, we have dined here frequently. sometimes we visit the restaurant, but most of the time we order on GrubHub. There are so many wonderful options on the menu. I like to take the Bulanee Appetizer (Fresh leeks, scallions and spiced potatoes stuffed in thin dough and pan fried. Served with a side of our yogurt-mint sauce) and use it to scoop up the Boranee Baunjan Appetizer (Baby eggplant that is baked with fresh tomatoes and garlic then topped with a yogurt-mint sauce). You really can't go wrong. I've eaten the whole menu. Everything is just as good over the next few days as leftovers too, so I like to order extra to have a few more meals of. read more

Portions were perfect to the price. The staff was very helpful to choose our order; this was our first time here. The afghani decor and atmosphere was very neat and peaceful. They have few dedicated parking spot. I ordered the Combo plate with chicken kabobs along with the lamb shish kabobs. Would highly suggest the Afghan rice with carrots and raisins. prices are reasonable. Also very tasty entrees and scrumptious desserts! We've eaten here a half dozen times and have never been disappointed. I strongly recommend to visit and enjoy. From now on when I visit Chicago I will visit to this place at least one time in a year. read more

If there's one way to my heart... it's amazing food. Hands down, this was one of the most incredible meals I've ever had! The spicy chicken kabobs were marinated to perfection--so juicy and flavorful. The beef dumplings were absolutely out of this world, and the Afghan rice, fresh salad, and creamy yogurt dip tied everything together perfectly. Every single bite was a party in my mouth! Speedy service & excellent server! Thank you. Huge shoutout to Kabul House in Evanston--this place is officially at the TOP of my list and is an absolute must-visit if you love incredible food. I'll definitely be back! read more

We've hosted our large iftar gatherings at Kabul House for the past two years, and each time has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The food is consistently fresh and incredibly delicious. Everyone in our group always leaves happy and satisfied. The atmosphere feels warm and authentic, which makes it especially meaningful for our Ramadan gatherings. On top of that, the customer service is truly hospitable and accommodating, even with larger groups. Overall, Kabul House has made our iftar traditions so special, and we look forward to continuing this for years to come. Highly recommend! read more

Cansay enough good things about my visit to Kabul House. Knew of it for decades and finally made it, will be back! Super nice staff, and the food was excellent. Flavors that popped from mantoo beef dumplings to aush soup that blew me away. Only to be topped by the kabuli Palau lamb shank with Afghan rice, rhe lamb fell off the bone and was so tender and not gamey as lamb can be. The rice had braised shredded carrots and raisins that added a surprising sweetness that balanced the savory meat. So many other menu items I want to try. Love the covered outdoor seating too. read more

Amazing amazing food. Truly one of the few places that have mastered their dishes so well that there are zero complaints. Everything was so fresh, from the meat quality to the Kabuli pilao. My favorite Afghan dish is always Mantu and Kabul House does a great job at their version! Looking forward to going back. Also their whole menu is halal so that's another huge perk. The service and ambience was commendable. The art on the walls really shows the beauty of the country and the cuisine that comes with it. Can't wait to go back here! read more

Horrible experience at this place. The service was beyond awful--rude staff, ridiculous wait times, and complete disorganization. Our food took forever to arrive, and when it did, it was cold, poorly cooked, and absolutely not worth the price. To make things worse, the waiter had a terrible attitude and acted like we were bothering them by simply asking for what we ordered. The place was filthy, with dirty tables and a bad smell lingering in the air. Never coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

First to say, my favorite in this restaurant is the almond sea salt caramel baklava! It was to die for!! But let's say the best for last, I started off with the tomato lentil soup and it not only had the perfect texture but was full of flavor, I ordered a chicken kabob after my appetizers and couldn't get enough! Almin our lovely waiter suggested that I stay for desserts so I couldn't resist! I ordered the raspberry moose cake following the sea salt caramel baklava. Let's just say I left happy and Will be back again read more

This was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had. The staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional, acting like they couldn't be bothered to serve us. The food was disgusting--cold, undercooked, and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. On top of that, the restaurant was filthy, with sticky tables and a horrible smell. To make matters worse, they messed up our order and refused to fix it, even after we showed them the mistake. Absolute scam of a place--avoid at all costs! read more

I'm usually disappointed when I eat out. I was so pleasantly surprised when I was introduced to the Kabul House, an authentic afghan restaurant, with a delicious Mediterranean flare. The food is amazing, unique, so flavorful, made to perfection and I have never had better service! The shocker is the price, portions are huge the best soups come with each meal and the price ranges from $5 to $14.00. Everyone has to try this place! read more

Fantastic service. Especially for social distancing procedures. Placed our order to be picked up a few hours later, got the message our order was ready much earlier than expected. Called the number, friendly team member brought our items to the car. Very seamless process that has definitely reassured our family we are taken care of. Thank you GFS! We will definitely be visiting you folks in the future. read more

I got the shrimp kabob with white rice and the afghan rice (I was sad they were out of dill rice because it's so good!) the rice was cooked terrific. And it came with a grilled tomato and an Anaheim pepper. I also got the Afghan salata (I added a little salt and Sumak... so good.) For dessert I redeemed a free piece of baklava and the server brought us over a pot of coffee on the House. read more

Everything at this place is good. I'm here specifically to talk about their desserts. We ended with the homemade Afghan ice cream made with rosewater, cardamom & pistachio. Our bill was under $40 and everything we ate was quite good. I highly recommend stopping here if you are ever in the area. I have a feeling we will be making special trips up that way just so we can stop in! read more

What a lovely ambience and food. We ordered the mantoo, boranee, and the Kabuli Pulau. I highly recommend the lamb, chicken skewers, or the eggplant. Lentil soup is hot and soothing like a warm cashmere for your inside. Our waiter was super friendly with a great sense of humor. Both were absolutely delicious and generous portions. I can see this place being good for parties. read more

Started off with some pita and soup which I think was included in the meal either way it was great. It had beans lentils and some sort of pasta then continued with some mantou a sort of ravioli filled with ground beef and some other stuffing and for the entrée. I had an entrée which consisted of both beef and chicken kebabs on a bed of rice and it really just hit the spot. read more
