    Chicken kabob and Mantoo
    Vanessa T.

    This place is located on a busy road in Lakeside! The restaurant has both inside and outside dining, with options for more traditional floor seating. I ordered a chicken kabob and my friend got the mantoo. They didn't have lamb at the time I ordered, which was a Sunday afternoon. The chicken was very well seasoned and the bread was super soft and fluffy. The side salad balanced out the meal. Water came in water bottles. This came out to about $40.

    First time trying Afghan food and this place was recommended by my coworkers so I was excited to try their authentic cuisine. I ordered the mantoo and beef tikka kabob wrap online for 7:30 dinner pick up through SLICE. When I arrived at 7:30 my order wasn't quite ready yet and would be another 5-10 mins. I wasn't upset or in a rush so I sat in a booth to wait. There is seating both inside and outside. Place was clean and had ample parking in the lot The gentleman who was at the register came out with a bowl of curry chicken soup and said it was for me while I waited. I was not expecting it but I appreciate the gesture. The soup was not too thick and had a hint of spiciness to it When I got my items, they were hot and smelled SO good throughout the car ride. Mantoo skin was thin but didn't break apart. The creaminess of the yogurt and tomato sauce paired very well with the ground lamb filling. The beef kabob was flavorful and had a kick of spicyness. The wrap itself was giant and tasted just like a plain thick crusted pizza. Luckily I'm one of those people who love eating pizza crusts Meal was 10/10 and left me with a great first impression to Afghan food. Prices were reasonable, ranging from $12-18 per dish. Kunduz Kabob is underrated but if I were ever craving this type of cuisine and in the area, I'd definitely come back again

    Authentic vibes. I got the chicken kabob. I want to give it a 5, but it's just so inconsistent piece to piece. Meat was not cooked well, but I did enjoy the flavor trajectory. Rice was awesome. Salad is whatevers.

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch, excited to try some Afghan food and enjoy a relaxed afternoon together. Unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed. Before we even walked in, things started off on the wrong foot. As we were pulling into the parking lot, we were almost hit by a car that appeared to be dropping off someone who worked there. It felt chaotic and set an uneasy tone from the start. Once inside, we were seated while several other guests were already dining. We waited about 10 minutes before anyone came to bring us menus -- meanwhile, other tables were being helped quickly and attentively. It was noticeable and uncomfortable. When we finally placed our order (two meat and rice plates), the waiter stepped away to check if they had rice. He returned and took our order, which led us to assume everything was fine. About 10 minutes later, he came back again to tell us they were actually out of rice. For a restaurant serving Afghan cuisine -- where rice is a staple -- that was surprising and frustrating, especially after the delay. What made the experience more disappointing was the feeling that we were being treated differently. Most of the other customers dining there appeared to be Afghan and were receiving prompt, friendly service. We couldn't help but feel that if we were Afghan ourselves, the service might have been better. We really wanted to enjoy our lunch and support a local spot, but between the parking lot incident, slow service, and confusion with basic menu items, it just didn't feel welcoming. I hope the restaurant works on consistency and making all guests feel equally valued. We ended up finding a better Afghan restaurant in El Cajon that totally made up for this bad experience. Kabul Kabob House!

    Delicious chive bolani and chicken kabob served in an airy patio decorated with Afghan crafts. Warm and friendly service. Great value. I can't wait to come back!

    A lovely family run restaurant in lakeside! As soon as you step inside, you're transported to another rich and cultural world! Nicely decorated with lively music playing, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered their chicken kebab with pita bread that came with a side salad and white yogurt cucumber sauce. I asked for spicy sauce and it was a tomato based sauce that had great flavor and a decent amount of spice! The chicken was well marinated and cooked to perfection. The salad was fresh with lettuce, cucumbers, tomato. The best part of my meal was their special afghan dessert made with sweetened yogurt, rose water and saffron, topped with pistachios and honey. The ice cream was creamy, rich, and decadent, while also being super refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser! I would drive hours just for this dessert! Highly recommend! They offer complimentary self serve black tea with sugar which was a nice touch! They offer so many different types of meats including lamb, chicken, beef grilled in addition to rice, bread, pizzas, soups, etc. I loved my experience here as I felt I was transported to another world! They have plenty of free parking and staff was friendly and prompt.

    This was a hidden gem for me; my friend recommended me this place.. it's not fancy; but the food is absolutely delicious and authentic. Our server Abdullah was so generous and so kind.. the food was so fresh and delicious that I wanna go back again. We ordered potato bolani, Chapli kabab, kabuli pulao, beef kabab, shinwari chicken karahi Everything was very flavorful. The best was the sheryakh that we ordered at the end. It was very tasty and very authentic flavor.

    If you are in the mood for Authentic Afghan food, this is the place! Even my Afghani friend who has a brother who owns an Afghan restaurant speaks highly of Kunduz Kabob. They have a good selection of highly flavorful traditional dishes. I will definitely return and bring friends and family next time!
