Kabul Kabab House - so dry - Afghan Near Me - Flushing, New York

Overpriced, and under quality and taste. It was not authentic at all. It looks really good in the pictures but lacks flavors. Their kabuli pulao was blant rice overly sweet with raisins. Meat was ok but looked old. Not going there again. read more

Halal Afghan, went on 8/27/2022 for dinner because we were in Flushing. We wanted to start off with the combo plate of appetizers, but they didn't have most of the appetizers available (we did go in the evening), so we opted to go straight into the main dishes. Also, note that they do not provide complimentary water, so we had to buy 2 sodas. We chose to get the largest platter: the Combo 2 which is almost $50 and includes 3 types of kababs and rice (we got half green rice, half brown rice). The green rice was a definite standout, we could almost just eat it by itself. The brown rice was a great vessel for the kabab, but it wasn't anything special compared to the green rice. The green rice is only available on weekends, so I highly recommend going on the weekends for it. The chicken kabab was nice, and so was the beef tikka (both 8.5/10). Compared to those, the chapli kabab didn't have as great of a texture, but it still wasn't bad. The roasted tomato was a nice refreshing touch. The salad that it came with was okay, nothing special, but there were sauces nearby to pour onto your plate if necessary. Just Combo 2 was enough to fill a family of 4, but we didn't realize how filling the platter would be when we also ordered a Lamb Tikka plate. The Lamb Tikka was good and not too gamey, and it wasn't overly chewy either. The kababs were kind of pricey, but their Afghan-style kababs were unique to us and very yummy. read more

Really 3.5 but feeling generous. This was my second time here and confirmed my rating. Came here on a Friday afternoon for some late lunch in September. Place had two other patrons and two staff members on the floor. We were greeted instantly and gestured to sit anywhere we like. The employee shortly handed us menus and set down waters. The two of us chose the eggplant app & combination 1 ( came with 2 kebabs, rice and salad). For the 2 kebabs we chose the burgh and salmon. Salads were fresh and the white sauce had just the right amount of tang. The eggplant app was great for 2 people to share; accompanied by soft, warm, diced up pieces of pita bread. Waiter reccomended having it with their green peper sauce and boy that made a difference - delicious! The burgh kebab was rectangular slices of marinated beef that was a bit tough to chew but had a perfect coating of burnt/crisp layer. The salmon didn't pack much flavor but one of the softest I've had. Both went well with the brown rice. Overall, there really isn't anything special about the common items of the Mediterranean cuisine served here. Price is on the higher end. Staff is attentive. Portions are good. Reccomend! read more

This place use to be great; now the got cheap and cut cost. The meal use to come with a side salad and a whole tomato. Now you get no side salad and half a tomato and they raised the prices. I don't recommend this place anymore. There's plenty of other middle eastern food places to go or order for delivery where you're going to get your moneys worth. read more

Ambiance: It's a simple looking place. Nice pictures on the wall. Appears to be clean. Food: excellent (flavorful, good texture, fresh). I was in LOVE with the flavor. Service: very nice staff. read more

The service and food was once really good here but no more. Terrible customer service. I ordered a combo platter plus a second entree and an appetizer and specifically asked for extra white sauce on pick but the employee assured me he put extra. When I got home there was only one little container of white sauce in the bag. The rice is always phenomenal but the chicken was so dry and the beef was too tough to eat. Last time for me. read more

This place has been there for as long as I can remember. My brother kept talking me into trying their beef or lamb but I don't do either so I ordered chicken. Honestly it was good but not out of the world experience. Their BAKLAVA though is to die for!!!!!! And yes it was my first time trying this place out :) read more

SO BEYOND DELICIOUS! My favorite is the Barg kabab so tender and flavorful. Everything on their menu is just great. read more

Good for a quick meal but not for your money's worth. Beef Tikka (2/5) - included a few chunks of kebab beef with roasted onions and pepper on a bed of a LOT of rice. I had so much leftover rice that I used it for another meal at home. Bonus points for the friendly staff though. read more

The food was decent, but they DON'T offer tap water. How do you charge $2 for bottled water in Flushing? Unacceptable. A group of diners sitting to our right ordered bottled waters halfway during their meal because their throats were parched. The family sitting in front of us left several disposable plastic cups and opened bottled waters. All the diners there were pushed to order bottled water. How do you finish the meal otherwise? read more

Food is always good and good quality. Definitely recommend. Always fresh and even salad and all is fresh. Great quality as well. Well worth the price. Nice, clean, small space. I mostly do takeout and customer services is already great which I truly appreciate. Thank you for being consistent. read more

Wow how this place got my review deleted I don't know okay let me take everyone down memory lane. I ordered a combination kabob platter for pick up that contained stale rice and cold kabob. After calling and speaking with the owner Abdul, he was nasty and rude, so I reported him to the health department after he refused to resolve the situation by simply issuing a refund for the nasty food he sold or try to make the situation better by simply offering fresh food. It's about to be 2024 and I don't know what was nastier, the cold kabob/stale rice or the owner ABDUL's attitude. ALSO, I don't know why this place falls under "HALAL" as the owner himself confirmed he does not sell halal food when we asked him directly. Maybe he was hungover when I called him and in a bad mood. Anyways, after coming to this place for 20 years I couldn't believe how arrogant unprofessional and nasty the owner was. A complete Narcissist I wish I recorded the phone conversation I would post it on here. I will keep posting periodically if this is deleted since it looks like my review was deleted. People need to know this place isn't "halal" and I always see practicing Muslims eat here. read more

When most people think Halal/Afghan food, the first thing that pops into their mind is often street cart food but there's a slew of amazing Halal/Afghan restaurants out there that don't get nearly as much notoriety and love as they should. Kabul Kabab House in Flushing, Queens presents a high quality bang for your buck option to satisfy your Middle Eastern culinary cravings. As you can see, the portions are massive so come hungry or be prepared to take home enough for another meal later that day or the next. Pictured is their Chicken and Lamb Kebab Combination plate served over your choice of rice and salad. Long Islanders, fret not as they have a Westbury location as well. read more

I came with a party of three, I have very limited knowledge of Afghan food but I thought it was great. The restaurant was very bare bones in terms of the decor but the food was totally worth a visit. My friends and I split combo 2 which was $42.95 and easily fed the three of us, the combo consists of three items, rice and a salad. We picked three items from the entree section, there are other items you could upgrade to like lamb shank etc, we really enjoyed the texture of the brown rice so I would go with that and the salad was a basic house salad. The food: Jojeh Kabob- Grilled chicken with bones marinated in seasonings and saffron. I don't really get excited for chicken but the chicken here was awesome especially the dark meat pieces. The chicken was so incredibly juicy and flavorful, this was our favorite item of the night. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=F9nzAzRlGMs5tXTQsldUVw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Beef Tikka- Grilled tender chunks of beef, marinated in special seasonings. The beef was seasoned well but the beef was more cooked that I would have preferred and the meat was a tad more chewy. Next time I will ask them to have them cook it medium to medium rare, the waiter didn't ask us how we wanted it cooked. Lamb Tikka- Grilled tender chunks of lamb, marinated in special seasonings. Same thing with the lamb, the flavor was great but the lamb was chewier that the beef. The table side yogurt was nice, it is an item you could put on everything, the green hot sauce has good flavor and has a nice cooling effect before the heat kicks in. read more

Ever crave halal food but don't feel like eating on the streets, or in your car? Or perhaps you're looking for the same cuisine but with higher quality? Food: This is the spot! The rice is so fragrant with the cardamom and spices. And the meats are so juicy and tender. I loved the salad together with the meats and rice. Their chili sauces and white sauces tasted fantastic with everything too. Writing this review kinda has me wanting to go back. Drooling. The only downside was that I'd realized how much MSG they use in their food immediately after walking out. I get body ache reactions and devouring the entire plate of food did just that. But what can ya do, it was really good. Would I go back? Probably yes. Food- 8.5/10 Ambience: 7/10 It's a clean spot. But definitely not pretty or classy by any means. Just your average mom and pop type feel restaurant with yellow *non-fluorescent lighting. (fluorescent lighting is a nono) Verdict: if your girlfriend said she wanted a sit down restaurant but your budget is Halal Guys, take her here. read more

I have been here at least a 100+ times Need not say more, I think this place has the best lamb chops in the whole US. Tell them to do medium Well as they usually cooked it well done because that's how people are accustomed to eat it. read more

The service was impeccable! The food delicious and generous portions. I enjoyed the appetizers and the lamb chops. What a difference from this new management! read more

This is one of my all time favorite places to eat in Queens. I've been eating here for a little over a decade and I must admit I do get a little disappointed when the portions of food seem cut down. I've also had to haggle with the waiters over where to sit and service. Those are annoying, but I'm only there for the food! I think they still might be cash only and you better be prepared to wait long. Order appetizers! I don't have a favorite for those cause I'm only craving the meat dishes. Enjoy! read more

I've been to the Kabul Kebab house in Westbury, which I absolutely loved, so I wanted to try this branch out. Immediately we noticed some differences - the westbury location gives pita and hummus for free while this location gives pita and salad for free. This place is cash only, whereas I remember paying with card at Westbury. For the entrees, the sides are rice and raw onions while at Westbury there is an additional cooked whole tomato. Very minor differences, but still noticeable. As for the food, the quality is amazing. We ordered the chicken kebab and kofta, which were sooo good-juicy and delicious. We really wanted the salmon kebab but they ran out of the salmon. Bummer. Either way, the meat was cooked really well. The brown rice is the way to go also! It doesn't have much flavor and probably tastes as great as the white one, but we just prefer the brown. The workers here are incredibly nice and it makes me want to just give them all my money because they're so nice. There is 1 hr street parking ($2) so you can find a spot near the restaurant, which is usually pretty hard to do in Flushing. read more

We ordered salmon over green rice (basmati with dill and lima beans), chicken over white rice, and salad. Everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked!

I'm not where to even begin rating my experience at Kabul Kabab today...but I know one thing is certain, they have gained me as a customer for life. I've been here a few times before and their food is outstanding. I haven't had a better meal outside of home than this place and today they showed me their amazing hospitality. On my drive to Kabul Kabab today I caught a miserable migraine and began to feel nauseous to a point where I felt that I may pass out any second. As soon as I walked in one of the workers looked at me and asked if I was okay and as soon as I told him about my migraine, in the blink of an eye this guy brought me ginger tea and light food to help make me feel better. Then I told him I was also feeling nauseous and he brought me some lemons. Idk if the guy was actively searching up how to make me feel better but he made sure I walked out of here alive and feeling 100% better. I heard another worker ask him if I was feeling better after 5-10 minutes as I was still recovering. The whole place was concerned and for that I will forever be grateful. It feels great to know that there are people here who went way out of their way to make me feel better. Thank you for everything you guys did today!!! && to top it off the food was amazing as always. read more

There are plenty of tables and everything is halal. The prices are a bit expensive but the food is delicious and the entrees are enough for two servings. They also give complementary bread with butter and a simple salad. I had the sultani platter which comes with onions, kobideh (grounded beef kebab) and barg (marinated beef), and your choice of white or brown rice. Both meats were delicious and well seasoned, but the barg was my favorite! There are a variety of hot sauces on the table. Be sure to bring cash as credit is not accepted here. read more

Kabul Kabab House - Sultani (large portions, delicious meats!) - Afghan Near Me - Flushing, New York

Absolutely love the staff. My main waiter was Omar and he was attentive and super helpful and even offered samples of a drink called doogh before I commited to it. Thank goodness because I personally didn't like it, tasted like a watered down and carbonated white sauce. He was completely understanding though. We ordered the Jojeh Kabob [chicken with bone] and Tikka Kabob [Lamb]. The rice was really fluffy and adding the crack white sauce and green spicy sauce makes it even better. I want to say that this is like the higher class version of 53rd and 6th. For dessert we had the Bakhlava and homemade rosewater ice cream. The Bakhlava was very sweet in my opinion, maybe a little too sweet for me but it was very flaky. It paired really well with the ice cream since that by itself was not too sweet at all. This place handles their customers really well and that stood out to me. The couple next to me was given an incorrect order and the servers realized it was their mistake and offered the dish to them at no cost. I would definitely come back, the food is amazing and service was even better. read more

If you are a fan of lambchops this is the place to go to have them in flushing. Granted it is not cheap. $25 for 5 chops but its worth it in my opinion. It is cooked to perfection and fingerlicking good. It is thick cuts so you dont jave to worry about them being skimpy on proportions. I also like the cornish hen, its an entire hen on a kabab.. Honestly, any of their meats are awesome. You wont be disappointed... read more

Very bland food. When asked for hot sauce the server pointed me to raw red chili pepper. Rice were reheated. Salad was cold from the freezer. Not so clean plates. Overall meh experience. Nothing to come, look for parking, and then have this food. read more

I don't usually write bad reviews, especially since I would eat here from time to time, but this time around is a special case. I am writing about an order I placed yesterday (Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020). Ordered two chicken orders, one lamb, and one lamb chops so it was a fairly expensive order. Where to begin: The rice had no taste. It was as if they gave us leftover rice or burnt rice from a previous day. The meat was severely undercooked. It was as if we were eating raw meat. My cousins and uncle did not finish the food, and they ended up throwing the food away. My father attempted to finish his food and now his throat hurts. We cannot get our money back but this is probably the first time in years where we want our money back for a meal. We are Afghans so we know how afghan food is supposed to taste but even a non-afghan would've known that the meal we received was not afghan food -- it was borderline inedible, which is a huge shame because we have ordered from here for years on and off. Based on yesterday's order, we will not be ordering from here again. read more

Some of the absolutely best lamb chops I've tried along with amazingly grilled chicken and lamb kabobs. I really enjoyed their salad, their rices with their yogurt sauce and spicy green chutney. Very limey, zesty and spicy. Perfect mix of rice and meat and sauce. I hope you can tell how amazing I thought it was. I'm so glad I came here to try out this hidden gem in NYC. If I'm ever back in the area I know where to get my next meal from. read more

Kabul Kabab House - Lamb Chops, Chicken Kebab, lamb kebab - Afghan Near Me - Flushing, New York

Today's visit was my 2nd.. here at Kabul Kabab. The same friend who took me here for my first time back in January, asked me to be open minded and try it a 2nd time, but this time, not to order the lamb kebab. Ok. Fine. Came here for lunch. So this time I ordered the Chicken kebab, with their "green" rice made with lima beans and herbs. Their portions, from what I've seen, are very large. Unless you're a behemoth with a ginormous appetite, and 4 stomachs, you won't leave hungry. That's guaranteed. Today's chicken was just OKAY. It was tender and juicy. Good. Cuz I HATE dry meat. The big con that I had with the chicken, was that it was under-seasoned. Rice tasted good. Accompanied with their signature white sauce, it was a nice lunch. Service was on point. Met the owner. He's really chill. Cash only. Their music, similar to the previous visit, was awful. Whatever. No big deal. read more

Kabul Kabab House - Chicken kababs over green rice - Afghan Near Me - Flushing, New York

Kabul Kebob has been one of our most favorite go to dinner spots for my family and I. Over the years we continued dining in at their Flushing location with our family and friends that even visit from out of town however, our experience recently has not been great at all with this location. They've increased their prices - which is understandable due to the pandemic and inflation but they've decreased the portions and changed the quality of the food. When one large mix platter used to be enough food for 4-5 people, is now barely enough for 2. They are always out of items, they removed high chairs for children and are now making mistakes on orders. In my experience, once you change the quality of anything, is when you start to lose customers which lead to little to no business. read more

We love kebabs and this place serves up Afghan Kebab. My husband loves this place. All the kebabs were well prepared. Their white sauce is to die for. Green rice was so so good. They have brown rice. Healthy choice and so good. Did not compromised the taste. Our waiter was very helpful. Would definitely go back again. read more

Updating review to 5 stars. Went back and tried it again. Get the bone in chicken or the salmon Kabab and they won't be dry. Seasoned well! I still think the regular chicken and the beef are dry. read more

Food alone is good, However service is soo bad. On the menu it says the combo comes with salad for two people and when our entree arrived I asked where our salad was and the guy said it no longer comes with salad I said well it clearly still says it on the menu and he refused to and offered for me to buy the side of salad (I've been here many times before and so it's apparently a new rule) . My wife asked for a glass of tap water and they said they don't do tap water and offered a bottle of water only. Everything just seems really shady like if they're just trying to get your money in a sneaky way. At the end the check comes with automatic gratuity even for a table of 2 . Which ofcourse they don't communicate to us. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! Definitely wish I had discovered this place earlier! I love white and yogurt sauce so my meal choices surrounded this. For appetizer I tried the pan fried eggplant with yogurt and tomato sauce and thought it was delicious! The waiter also gave us a small sample of the mashed eggplant and that was even better! It went really well with the pita bread. For entree, I was in a group of 4 people so we ordered combo number 2. We tried the lamb chops, ground beef kebab and the chicken kebab. It was the chicken with the bone and it was the best by far! Mixing the rice (brown and green) with white sauce is absolutely delicious too. We were too full for dessert so I have to try that next time but I was told there are two choices: bakhlava and home made pistachio flavored ice cream. I love this place so much I went twice in one weekend and can't wait to go back! read more

We came after reading all the reviews & couldnt find any parking so rec u come via mta. Ordered take out & was able to observe the cooking in the fromt kitchen. They have pots for rice & many spickets for the meats. We ordered a lamb & steak dish w brown & green rice along w eggplant appetizer. The appetizer was tasty. They ended up giving us 2 brown rice which was over spiced with a smokey type of spice that overpowered the flavors at times. The lamb kebab was dry and the steak was a little on the dry side as well. Observing the folks earing there they seemed happy w the presentation & food quantity. They offer salads and pita w their entrees. They put a roasted tomato & raw onions w the meat and rice. It's ok read more
