    Loaded fries with popcorn chicken!
    Mariam K.

    We stumbled upon this place randomly.... Im usually not a fan of eating out afghan food bc my mom literally makes the best afghan food so going out, im always disappointed. This was the first time in a very long time ive been impressed!!! First off, Customer service is TOP TIER! The main guy (didnt get his name) is seriously SO NICE and truly cares about his business in making sure customer service satisfaction guaranteed. He checked in on us multiple times to see if the food was good or if we needed anything! Its a hole in the wall place, family owned and definitely worth the trip and would definitely come back!!! The price is extremely reasonable as well! The only thing is, I wish they had better seating.

    If you love burgers, their burgers are on a different level!! Not your typical plain burger, afghan style filled with spices. Service is fantastic, very helpful with any questions about their cultured menu. Definitely trying their kabobs and bowls next time. Also their fries are bomb!

    Always an amazing meal when I come to Oaktown Kabob! I've had their catering as well and it's equally as good. Today I had their loaded fries with the tikka kabob on top and it's probably the best thing I've eaten in awhile! Best service, great quality food, looking forward to my next visit

    Loved them when they were Pamir in Dublin and am so happy to know they are back and close for me to visit now in Oakland. Their food is amazing but they are wonderful people as well. Secret menu item BAKED CHICKEN. Just have to pre-arrange it with them and special order is 5 portions but it is beyond words AMAZING and DELICIOUS!!! Perfect way to get together with friends or family and have a fantastic meal for the holidays but not have to cook or fuss. (That said, I love it so much, ideally, I keep 2 portions for myself, it's that good!) I also see they offer new experiential items from time to time and I am excited to try some of those as well.

    Came in for my first time a few days ago. I ordered 2 chicken kabob plates and one Chapli (afghani smash burger) plates and they were DELICIOUS. The chef made them fresh, which I very much appreciated and was well worth the wait. The meat and rice were flavorful and the portions are generous. I will definitely be returning. The chef was also very kind. So happy to have this local gem, serving fresh healthy food.

    Always delicious!! Picture speaks for itself, everything cooked to succulent juicy perfection, these ppl know what they're doing with their cuisine. Great customer service on top of quality food is the bonus. Give them a try!

    The chicken and rice are awesome. Chicken was juicy and so flavorful…read more Yogurt and chive appetizer was great. The waitress recommended it and it was way better than I was anticipating. Tachin was something completely different. So many different flavors and textures. Great change up. Wouldn't be my go to. But once in a while I could enjoy it.

    We walked in and tried to get a table for 2. And the owner asked us if we had reservations. But…read morethere was plenty of seating inside and outside. Funny part is, no one walked in after us. We were then seated, the first girl asked if we wanted anything to drink which we did but we never got our drinks til another waitress came and asked us 20mins later. We told her we were ready to order and we had to wait another 10mins for another waiter to order. We got the chive/shallot yogurt, lollipop lamb chops, Koobideh and Joojeh Kabob. The kabeb dishes came with grilled tomato, grilled pepper, rice with tadig on top. They also make this pink butter to put on the rice. Food is good and everything was seasoned well and not over cooked. I want to give this place a try again but they need to work on their customer service. They catered more to other tables and we didn't even get offered the dessert menu like the other tables around us. Also, we had to ask for the check and no one even came to check if we were ready to pay we had to go up there.

    Overall, would not recommend this place. I encountered very racist and bigoted treatment here…read more I placed an online order last night and went by for the pick up. When I approached the front counter, the lady present was very standoffish with me. I informed her of why I was there and she asked my name for the order. Upon giving her my name she then glared at me and literally asked me to recite my entire order lol! I showed her my online receipt in which she then insisted I still tell her my order. She brushed away my receipt and let another customer cut in front of me. Interestingly, the customer told her his name and she retrieved his order with no issue and was very friendly with him. To note, I was the only Black person present at that time. When I inquired as to why that customer wasn't asked to recite his entire order, she grinned and said that he's a "regular" and that I was "new." She went on to let a few other customers cut in front of me. I then asked for my money back in which she refused to return. Even when I asked for the manager, she said he was very busy. I made several requests for this resulting in her saying no and refusing to return my money. I then noted to her I'm calling the authorities in which I did. Furthermore, while servicing some of the other patrons, she would speak in another language with them while they looked at me and start laughing and staring me down. Eventually, the manager came out. He presented himself professionally and upon explaining what occurred he apologized and said it was unacceptable. He even offered me a drink with my meal and asked that I please accept the order instead and wanted to make things right. I took him at face value and said fine. While the situation was remedied, I definitely will not be returning to this restaurant. I researched some of the other reviews and came across several where other Black patrons have had similar racially motivated experiences here. That tells me there's a common practice of racism here. I refuse to support a business where this kind of behavior is tolerated. I have zero tolerance for bigots of any kind. Overall, the experience was a waste of my time and very dehumanizing. To hate someone you don't even know simply because of their skin pigmentation and ethnicity is irrational at best and bad for business especially in a place like Oakland where it's multicultural. My advice would be to not support this establishment. I especially advise any Black patrons not to come here as they clearly have issue with anyone who is simply Black, despite not knowing them as a person. Don't give your money, nor your valuable time, to hateful individuals who dehumanize others. All in all, this place gets a thumbs down.
