Awesome little spot! I've probably passed by this place countless times without realizing it was…read morethere, but today I finally decided to give it a try. I wasn't very familiar with Afghan cuisine or what to expect from a halal döner kebab restaurant, but my experience was excellent. One thing I really appreciated was the open kitchen concept. As soon as you walk in, the kitchen is right there on the side, allowing you to watch the food being prepared. Everything feels transparent and fresh. I ordered the chicken gyro, which was packed with flavor and incredibly juicy. I also tried the lamb tikka and beef kofta. Watching the cooks prepare the meat on the large skewers over the grill made the experience even better. The meal came with rice and a side salad, making for a satisfying and well-balanced plate. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

You get two tender thighs and a drumstick, all seasoned and spiced perfectly. The long grain rice is delicious, and the portions are genuinely massive for the price. The side salad and vegetables balance everything out nicely so the meal doesn't feel heavy. They include three sauces on the side, but honestly the chicken is flavorful enough on its own that I haven't really needed them. When I went in person to pick up my order, the place was really clean and well-kept, which I always appreciate. I also noticed they have desserts, so I'll definitely be trying those next time. I'd recommend ordering in person if you can -- you'll skip the extra Uber Eats fees and get the same great food for less. Hidden gem on Northern Blvd.

I recently went to an Afghan restaurant in Astoria, and it reminded my of the very first time I had…read moreAfghan food. It was probably about 30+ years ago, here at Kabul Kebab House in Flushing! It was (and still is) one of the very few non-Chinese restaurants in the area. I used to walk past this restaurant all the time. You could see them grilling all sorts of kebabs by the window. People used to just stop and gaze into their window. The smell of those kebabs just made you drool! Well, I tried their food one day and I've been hooked ever since. Phenomenal food here!! I credit my love for Brown Basmati Rice to Kabul Kebab House, since I tried it for the first time there! They also have a sister restaurant in Westbury, Long Island.

Ordered the big plate chicken that comes with homemade noodles. The chicken is flavorful and the noodles are the perfect accompaniment. Love the texture of the noodles. Nice and chewy. We loved the lamb skewers. Generous portion for $4.99. Tasted like quality meat with the perfect combo of lean and fat. The baked buns are actually meat pies baked with phyllo dough. I love phyllo dough and the filling was very tasty but would have preferred more filling as it washer dough heavy. I love milk tea so I had to order the Nurlan milk tea. Huge portion. Literally came in a bowl. Found it tasteless. Service here is friendly and fast.

I never had Uyghur halal food before, but many reviewers say that this restaurant delivers an…read moreauthentic taste of Xinjiang with its vibrant spices and handcrafted noodles. This place is a hidden gem blending seamlessly on many of the business on Main Street. The dishes are hearty and blend Central Asian and Chinese influences. We had the following: * Big Plate Chicken - A family size dish of tender bone in chicken, potatoes, and bell peppers simmered in a bold, spicy sauce over hand pulled flat noodles. The Portions are generous hence the name big plate chicken. * Spicy Lagman with Lamb - The hand pulled noodles are chewy with thin slices of lamb, red peppers, and onions in a delicious sauce. Since this was my first visit and I had to gauge the level of spiciness. We asked them to go light on the heat. Just a note, unless you specify your protein, lamb meat is the default. * Chicken & Lamb Kawap (Kebabs) These were Juicy, charcoal-grilled skewers with a light and satisfying char. The lamb kawap had subtle cumin notes, while the chicken remains moist and smoky. Ideal as a starter and is served with raw onion slices, dry spice mix and a small piece of pita bread. * Salted Milk Tea - Definitely an acquired taste! This traditional Uyghur drink leans on the savory and salty side, not "my cup of tea" but worth trying for curiosity's sake. Despite the limited English fluency among the staff, service is warm and attentive. The team patiently explains dishes using menus with photos. The place is simply decorated and clean, with a low-key vibe. Plating is simple and uninspiring, but the flavors are complex and simple put, Awesome! There is plenty of metered parking on Main street close to the restaurant. A definite must try if you never had Uyghur cuisine before, one taste and you'll be hooked for life.

There are at least 15 different skewer options, along with other fun fried snacks and vegetables. The skewers are grilled over charcoal, and the smoke was so prominent that we had to stand 10-15 feet away to avoid it. We knew it was going to be worth it. We got a couple of each chicken gizzard, lamb kebab, chicken heart, beef kebab, and pork belly ($2 each), listed in the order of my personal favorites. I loved the crunch of the chicken gizzard the most and honestly could have eaten at least five of them myself. The lamb kebab wasn't too gamey, and the cumin seasoning was perfection. The other three kebabs were flavorful, but weren't quite as memorable. Overall, the skewers had an intensely charred, smoky flavor that's hard to replicate without a charcoal grill. This was easily one of my favorite stalls out of everything we tried this past Sunday afternoon! 8/16/2026 Flushing Food Crawl #6 of 11

They have various protein kebabs as well as fried items. We went for a Lamb Kebab and a Beef Kebab, and you can request it to be 'regular' or 'spicy' (we opted for the latter); these skewers are grilled-to-order, so they come piping hot! There were a few fatty pieces here and there, but overall, both were juicy and a nice little snack. Staff were super friendly! Bring cash to make it easier. +skewers +friendly staff

I placed a pickup order through Uber for the four-person family combo. When I arrived, I had to…read morewait about 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came to assist me. After receiving the order, I asked why the green sauce--commonly included as a side with this type of meal--was missing. The employee at the counter told me they had run out. However, I noticed that there was a bottle of the same green sauce on every table in the restaurant, which made the explanation confusing and frustrating. Another concern was that the restaurant refused to accept credit or debit card payments. In 2026, declining standard electronic payment methods creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, the food quality also did not meet expectations. The lamb chops were very small and appeared dry and overcooked. Overall, the portion sizes and quality did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would recommend that customers consider other nearby options. In my experience, Shirazi Kebab offers larger portions in their family meals and the food quality has been noticeably better.

LAMB KAWAP (3 SKEWERS) - 13.99 The lamb skewers were well-seasoned with plenty of spices, but the texture was inconsistent. Some pieces were super tender, while others were strangely tough, which made it difficult to fully enjoy. SAMSA - 4.99 This crispy baked pastry was stuffed with beef, onions, and savory spices like cumin. I appreciated the seasoning and flaky exterior, but this was a bit too onion-heavy for my taste. Looking back, I probably would have enjoyed the samsa more if this hadn't been our ninth stop of the day.

The different mixes of beef were great. There was a nice smoky charred flavor from the grill, my favorite was the beef kofta(I think) because it was the softest. The other pieces of beef such as steak were decent they were not dry and hard at all but could be too chewy for those with sensitive teeth. There were nice charred jalapeños, onions and tomatoes in the tray as well. I loved the qabuli rice as you can see each grain of rice but it was still soft and tender to eat! I can't speak about the ambience as I came in to pick up a catering order and it seemed like they may have just been opening up for the day. The white sauce and green sauce were flavorful and great addition to everything. I could use up a whole bottle for myself.
