I took a take out and while I started to eat I was eating the salad and I found a roach in the salad which has stunned me. I couldn't believe there was a dead roach in the food they gave me. Also I was eating chicken tikka with rice and the chicken tasted burnt and really dry. This made my expectations very low for this restaurant. From now on I won't be coming to this restaurant ever again. This is a very big disappointment. read more

Wonderful food! Arrived for dinner at about 8pm...still very very busy. Aside from a few snafus (corrected immediately) an overall nice place to eat. If you prefer a quiet and less chaotic place to enjoy dinner - this isn't your place. Both noisy and busy. We ordered the Beef Gyro, Beef Gyro over rice/salad, 1 lamb tikka skewer and fries - $21. Not bad price for an impromptu dinner for 2. Tea at the end was wonderful - forgot to ask what it was, but very yummy. read more

I was heading to a near by kabab house when I saw this spot. Made a u turn and decided to give it a try. The young man sat my family and I down. After ordering brought us our salads and drinks. 15-20 min later the food arrived. The good was great. Not over flavored simply perfect. Hope to come by again. Great service. read more

Main Bakhtar Halal Kabab - One of three Menu pages. - Afghan Near Me - Flushing, New York

Food is amazing but the staffs attitude is really bad. Honestly if I am going to pay this much money for food than I might as well get little better service. read more

Since I found this place, I've gotten lunch here four days in a row... it's that good. Great food, nice people, big portions, and reasonable prices. The chicken kofta is so juicy and well seasoned. That and the bolani appetizer are my faborites so far. The lamb chops are delicious and grilled nicely. The beef kofta and chicken sandwich are also very good. The chicken tikka is moist and tasty but I prefer the kofta. The brown basmati rice is well flavored and fluffy (without raisins thankfully). Can't wait to try the lamb tikka next. read more

Great flavorful food and friendly staff. We ordered the family platter, which was a lot of food for the price, we couldn't finish it.

I'm not an afghan food expert by any means but this place did not disappoint! It's Halal, and the food is different from your usual Mediterranean go-tos and was really flavorful! The servings were huge as well- we're glad we made the trip here! read more

Fantastic. I ordered menu item 33 and the rice and meat were amazing. I have found my go to kebab place. So far have only taken food to go but I suspect eating in house would be a great experience. read more

Best Afghan restaurant I've ever tried! And I've been to many. And only $8?! That alone is worth 5 stars. Not to mention, the service is outstanding (example: our order took a little longer than usual so they gave us french fries on the house), the restaurant is clean (passed the bathroom cleanliness test with flying colors), and street parking is easily available. But back to the food - the portions are huge, it comes with a salad, and the chicken/lamb is well-seasoned so you can really taste the variety of Afghan flavors. It's the seasoning and spices that truly differentiates this Afghan restaurant from the tens of others. It also helps the white sauce isn't as heavy as compared to other places so the guilt factor is much less. The restaurant opened just this May so I hope the quality remains as time passes! read more

The place is very loud. Hard to have a conversation with all the kids running around. Food is nothing to rave about. The lamb chops were dry, beef tikka lack flavor. The food came relatively fast. It's cash only. read more

Since Ive tried several of the Afghan restaurants in the area I am fairly knowledgeable about what each of them have to offer. This Bahktar serves a larger portion of chicken that the other one located on Fresh Meadow Lane and but the flavor is better at the other Bahktar however Aria Kebab's flavor is even more intense than both of these. Aria's is also 50 cents less for the same chicken tikka meal and their container of salad is larger and fresher. The rice is pretty much the same at all of these places but thats not what really makes the meal. This Bahktar has the tangiest white sauce of all. They probably add extra vinegar. They also sell their white sauce in larger containers. Small is 2$ and large is $4. read more

Simple and delicious food. Good prices, and I find pickup is better than eating in, especially since their to-go service is great. Nice people. read more

Great food, good pricing, good service. What else do you need? Our go to spot for Afghani food and is consistently good, every time we go it never disappoints. Personally I usually get the #6. 2 types of chicken kebab with that Afghani rice and sauces. My wife usually gets the lamb and enjoys that too. Sometimes they can be a little slow but it's worth the wait. read more

Very clean and friendly place. Came here after the gym and ordered the number 11, chicken tikka, chicken kofta and a beef tikka with bread and salad because I wasn't really in the mood for heavy rice on the side. I'm glad the place had no rice options, that was very convenient. And the fact that the food tasted really fresh and the meats were juicy was a bonus also. I overheard the owner, I believe, speaking to another customer about how everything was freshly made and I actually believe him. I came here pretty close to closing time when most of the food comes out pretty mediocre and the service is very rushed, but here the food tasted great which I was kind of surprised about. I felt really good about my meal when I came here, I was full from the meal but didn't feel weighed down and actually felt pretty healthy at the end of it too. Definitely a new after the gym spot for sure! read more

Its meat heaven! The family platters are the ones that are the best value but be warned, they are huge! Its a great place for your Kofta, lamb chops and chicken tikka. read more

Food I can eat everyday day three times a day. Don't know what others are talking about service, the service is great, sorry the service is not like a Cheesecake Factory , it's a homey spot where you walk in seat yourself and make yourself at home, you can even get up and go and get your own water and drinks, sorry for those that expect to be waited on hand and foot , once again it's not a Cheesecake Factory, once you go here enough everyone gets to know each other and it's really like coming home, also the food is the freshest and cleanest I've ever eaten so once again ignore the strange negative reviews, I guess ppl were expecting to walk into an iron chef America kitchen or something. The food is great, the ambiance is great the ppl are great, eat here you won't regret it!!!! read more

Less than a year old, but they have proven themselves to me. Decent price for the quality food you pay for. Afghan food is generally expensive, this place gives everyone a chance to try at a really low price. read more

Cheap, Dirty and stingy place. Tables and floors are extremely sticky. Plates are chipped and size of my hand. Stench of bathroom is overpowering when you first enter. Not welcoming and environment is worse then a hospital cafeteria. They can't handle a crowd, just typical 1 or 2 people scattered around. 1 star for okay chicken and another star for the cold soda ( thank god for canned soda ). read more

Delicious food, great price, been there twice now on way to airport. First time it was a huge platters for at least 20.

Loved the service, the atmosphere and especially the food! Afghan cuisine at it's finest!

I love there food here. The cheeseburgers are amazing. Their prices have gone up since they first opened, but its still dirt cheap. Sometimes there is inconsistency with their food. But do not be discourage, they have the best kebabs in town! read more

Where to start. The food was good before, but now along with their service the quality of food has declined tremendously! I come here very often, lately i have been doing takeout since dining in means i have to deal with the slow service..the man at the register is disorganized, rude AND RACIST! All i Did was ask how long is my order going to take. Because i noticed the customers who came after me got their food first! He had the nerve to get angry n ask me Where im from?? Y does my ethnicity matter in this situation! Then after making me pay before i got food AND giving me the wrong order he asked me to NEVER come back!! WTHHH. All because i asked how much longer is my wait. This man knows i am a regular customer yet he does not valuue loyalty. HORRIBLE RACIST OWNERS. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

Cheap low quality food filthy rest rooms. This would sum up this place. I was invited for dinner to this place and had horrible experience. First the food especially the chicken was dry and tasteless and restroom was filthy with urine and feces everywhere. We complained to Mr Zubair at the front desk and he said if you find it filthy don't use it. Excuse me. We complained to the owner/manager instead of getting the place cleaned he says you are just making a big deal and then says our customers don't know how to use the bathroom that's why it's dirty. With this kind of attitude and management God knows what goes on in the kitchen. read more

The food is ok The staff attitude is horribleThe place is dirty the carpet is filthy If you say Assalamualikum to the staff they don't even answer you . I don't know how they are in business with that attitude . read more

Just tried it today we shared the combo # 1 it was delicious the brown rice was just perfect the white sauce was so delis his that yogurt or mayonnaise . Will definitely order again the beef and lamb was tender and rightly seasoned. I thought the portions were big but just enough for two people. We will try the family combo next time and the chicken wings. read more

Absolutely Amazing food fresh authentic Afghan food owners are very friendly and make sure that all customers leave satisfied . Very clean and comfortable environment will definitely be back again. read more

There's some nice flavor going on in these plates, without needing that excess sauciness that I've come to expect with Halal plates. Every bite full of rice or meat packs a punch of flavor, that I like to wash down with a nice soda. The combination is quite satisfying. read more

So, im new to NY. And madly obsessed with Bakhtar on freash meadows ln, so me and my husband decided to stop by here to try it out. I must say, they have got nothing on the fresh meadows ln one. There food was so not fresh and the kufta was so hard to chew on. And to top it off, we were sitting there for 5 minutes and no one even offered us a menu. Just FYI, the whole place was empty so not like they were busy. Well we should have left just there and then. Anyhow, won't be coming back to this location again. read more

The service is terrible and the food tasted Disgusting. I dont recommend this crap to anyone

Yes yes yes, so happy it's near where I live. Tasty, not expensive and I don't have to travel to Flushing/Main Street anymore for Kabul Kabab. Parking around the area is easy and there is also a bus stop right next to it. read more

Employees look as if they were forced to work there or they are working without pay. They red some real people to work here who will look alive so they can the order right! They always for some reason gets the order wrong. Last time I called and spoke to the owner he had excuse this time he wasn't even there. They have more restaurant like this...will not be dining here anymore. read more

A few weeks ago, I gave this place an excellent review. Five stars and everything. However, recently, after additional visits, I can no longer say the same. First off, waiter service was rude, impolite, our table was the only one and a rude remark was made to someone in my party. They're hesitant to put the water pitcher on the table, skimp on salad, and food quality isn't as good as it used to be. Sorry, but I've seen other tables get way better treatment than mine and I wouldn't hesitate to say it was because myself and a friend were "outsiders"- if you know what I mean. I don't think I will return here again. Great job at disappointing someone who once enjoyed your food. read more

Called and placed an order and arrived 30 mins later to find out, the nephew of the owner FORGOT TO PUT IT IN. which means I had to wait another 30 mins to get my order. The place is mismanaged and that guy is completely irresponsible and not even an apology from the person in question! HORRIBLE! read more

The owner is very helpful and nice. The dishes were a little pricey for the area. The bread is not as good as other places and the lamb is not as tender even though it was a suggestion from them. read more

I would order for take out here. The food is delicious, however the service sucks. Oh yeah, don't forget it's cash only!! We waited for 15 minutes before someone finally brought us a god damn menu. The food took long to come and we finally were able to flag down a waiter for the bill after like 20 attempts. Food: Chicken Kabob and Chicken Kofta were good. The Chicken Gyro was really good and had my attention. Overall the experience was okay. The food was good though, so that saved the day. read more

The good is good - so five stars there. No question about it. The place does look like a cafeteria and just like a cafeteria the place is loud! ...down to 4 stars. Food comes out fast and the waiter leaves you alone. Bathrooms aren't clean and they claim to take credit cards but it's cash only ..down to 3 stars. I guess I'd rate it 3.5 stars. I would definitely do take out since the food is legitimately good (5 stars). You be the judge read more

We ordered two beef kufta with the rice, salad, and bread (that was half the size of what I saw in the picture). Also, we order the Samosa (also very different from the picture as well as the filling of potato that I was not expected). Overall the food was somewhat bland without the sauces they gave and it was VERY DRY!!! The best part about it was the soda and the Kulfi ice cream (pistachio and malai). read more

Love this place, not as good as Kabul Kebab but the food is tasty and there's always parking and seating.

Service gets 1 star but food gets 4! Chicken kofta is so flavorful and tender! The qabuli Is yummy. The kulfi ice cream was so delicious too. I would go back just for the kulfi. I had the malai flavored kulfi. read more

Just ate here a few days ago. The food was on point for fast afghan food. It was refreshing to see Afghans working in and probably owning the place than imposters who pretend to be and u end up eating a spicy curry kabob. Only complaint was the chutney was a pain in the ass to use in the squirt bottle. It just shoots liquid out not the actual chutney. I think they had a new guy working there; he was a little slow and a patron was being a bitch over nothing which delayed us being served. Sit down salad is whatever but I didn't really care as I came for the rice and kabob. read more
