I came in this past Saturday (in the rain and recovering from surgery) because I just needed to be at my favorite restaurant. The moment we walked in, they greeted us warmly and still remembered us, even though we hadn't been in for about three years. That kind of care means everything. The food is unmatched. The lamb is incredible. The potato appetizer with the meat sauce is our all-time favorite. The shrimp on the combination skewers are huge and full of flavor. The warm bread and perfectly cooked rice make every meal feel comforting and special. The service is amazing, the family who owns it is so kind, and the whole place has a welcoming, homey vibe. There is no Afghan food around here that compares. This will always be our favorite spot for special occasions. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out.

There are a few tables inside, so a friend and I decided to dine in. The chicken was tender and juicy, perfectly cooked, with the salad adding a balance of acidity on the side. The bread and rice were fluffy and paired well with everything. The service was also great! One of the employees checked in asking my friend and me if everything was ok because I still had chicken left, but I was still eating since I'm a slow eater. They were attentive and friendly, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a lunch or dinner.

When seated after ordering, we were served with the signature Afghan bread with delicious spicy dipping sauce. The owner I presume also introduced us to two lovely dishes. One with potato in a flat bread and the other was a butter nut squash. They were both served with a creamy yogurt. My wife and I ordered the trio Kabob and the eggplant dish. Highly recommended. The meats are so tender! Out of all the Persian places I have experienced the chicken at this establishment is the best! The beef even more! The dessert was heaven... If you want a true Afghan foodie experience, this is the place to go to in the Bay Area! Can't wait to try the other dishes!

The Potato Bolani is a traditional Afghan flatbread stuffed with a potato filling. The portion is generous, with a texture that's both chewy and crispy from the griddle. The savory filling is simple but satisfying, and it pairs especially well with the green spicy chutney, which adds a bright, tangy kick. My husband preferred it with yogurt, which nicely balanced the flavors. Best of all, it's cooked to order, so it arrives hot and fresh. While we were dining, we noticed several customers coming in to pick up bags of Bolani to go--a good sign that it's a popular favorite! The Shami Kabob, made with seasoned ground beef, is charbroiled and served with Afghan bread, rice, and salad. The kabob itself is tender, moist, and full of flavor, with hints of garlic and herbs in every bite. The restaurant also generously served firini dessert on the house. It's a silky, milky pudding delicately flavored with cardamom and topped with pistachios. Light and fragrant, it made a lovely ending to the meal. Overall, everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and comforting. The Bolani was definitely a highlight, and the complimentary firini was a wonderful touch.

We ordered one potato bolanis for appetizer with beers and five orders of kabob. There were no kabob leftovers! Everything was freshly cooked and delicious. The kitchen was kind enough to serve the food family style and there was plenty of spare naan and rice, but the delicious kabobs were all gone. Folks really liked the lamb, but my favorite is still the mildly spicy chapli kabobs! I took a bolani home. It is perfectly crispy after a few minutes in the toaster oven. It is a smallish restaurant but Yasmeen manages the front end well with a helper. Highly recommended!

I usually get my food to go because the restaurant can become crowded, and I prefer enjoying it somewhere more relaxed. My favorite way to do it is to pick up an order, take it to a nearby park, and enjoy the food outside. It makes for a simple and enjoyable meal without dealing with the busy dining area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Afghan food, especially if you enjoy fresh bolani.

We came in on Saturday at 11:30 to an empty restaurant, but by noon it was packed. We ordered the mantu, bolani, a few kabobs, and the lamb shank challow. The appetizers were great - the mantu had a great flavor and felt very hearty. The leek and butternut squash felt homey and warm - our waitress said they were her favorite, and were so glad she gave us that recommendation! The leek paired nicely with the yogurt provided, as it was a little spicy and had an aroma pretty similar to chives. The squash bolani was slightly sweet, and almost felt like an in-between for dessert. Having both was a nice contrast. By far the murgh (chicken) kabob was our favorite skewer, as it was the juiciest meat, and quite tender. The table ranked the chaplee (ground meat, with a hint of spice) next in terms of flavor and texture, and teka (tri tip) was slightly more dry and bland compared to everything else. The lamb shank was quite tender but smaller than expected for the price; it still had a nice homey flavor though I prefer when restaurants provide more of that braised juice to go alongside the dish. I don't eat cilantro, so had requested there to be no cilantro in any dishes, but they said they couldn't remove it from the salad, so was a little sad about that. We also had to request for Overall, would highly recommend the chicken kabob and bolani - would love to come and try other appetizers too.

We had borani kaddu - butternut squash with yogurt and garlic sauce. This was a good alternative to the common borani banjan. the texture was perfect, not overly cooked, went well with the warm bread. perfect for vegetarians. Our vegetarian companion had borani banjan - smoked, grilled eggplants in the tomato yogurt sauce similar to the appetizer we had.

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!
