Went at 5 PM on a weekday and we were immediately seated. Enjoyed the Lazeez Chicken Seekh Kebab and Lamb Korma with Malabar Parotta. Service was great. Unfortunately, some of the interesting items on the menu weren't available: Goat Pepper Fry, Beet Sliders, etc.

If you're looking for the best Afghan food in the Bay Area, Kabul is absolutely worth the drive! We…read moretraveled 2 hours just to eat here, and it exceeded every expectation. Mechelle, the daughter of the owner and our waitress, was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. She took the time to recommend menu items, and every single suggestion was a 10/10. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared--honestly, we couldn't find a single thing to complain about. The portions were generous enough that we even took food home, and it tasted just as amazing later. This was one of the best dining experiences we've had, from the outstanding hospitality to the unforgettable food. We already can't wait to make the trip back, and I hope everyone gets the chance to experience this Bay Area gem. Highly, highly recommend!

I recently ate at Kabul Afghan Cuisine in San Carlos, and it was one of the best and freshest meals…read moreI've had in a long time. We ordered the salmon kebab, chicken kebab, and the soft pumpkin topped with a flavorful ground lamb meat sauce and yogurt sauce. Every dish was outstanding. The kebabs were incredibly delicious. The chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor, but my absolute favorite was the salmon kebab. It was perfectly cooked, fresh, and exceptionally tasty. Beyond the amazing food, the service was equally impressive. Jamal and Michelle were genuinely warm, welcoming, and hospitable, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is beautiful and unique. It has an upscale feel, is very clean, and is rich in cultural charm. Walking into the restaurant makes you feel like you've been transported somewhere far away--definitely not California. I highly recommend Couple Cuisine and look forward to returning.

Celebrated Father's Day at Broadway Masala in Redwood City, and we had such a memorable experience!…read moreParking was a little challenging, but we were happy to make it on time for our reservation. We were a group of eight, which gave us the perfect excuse to try a wide variety of dishes. The customer service was outstanding, our server was very attentive, gave great recommendations, and even helped us avoid over-ordering by letting us know when we had enough food. They also suggested the right number of naans for our group, and they were spot on. One of the highlights was trying Rumali Roti for the first time. It paired beautifully with the curries, and I am officially a fan! It's such a unique type of roti that not many Indian restaurants offer. For appetizers, we enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian, Lamb Kebabs, and Bhatti Ka Paneer. For entrées, we tried the Goat Curry, Eggplant dish, Fig & Walnut Koftas, Butter Chicken, and Wok-Fried Shrimp. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and had the perfect balance of spices, not too spicy and not too mild. The desserts were soo good ! The Jalebi with Rabri (most restaurants only offer Jalebi but this pair was delicious), Thandai Tres Leches Cake, and Chocolate Molten Cake were absolutely incredible, easily a 10/10 (or more!). The seating was a little tight for eight people, but it was still comfortable and didn't affect our overall experience. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions. We will definitely be coming back!

We were excited to try their Unlimited Thali which is offered Monday through Friday during lunch…read more They offer chicken, lamb, meat experience, or paneer. It comes with several traditional sides. I really liked that they offer pappad as I am gluten free. The lamb was boneless and tender. The butter chicken was juicy and well flavored. The dal was on the creamier side and the saag was flavorful. So overall, the food was great. As there is always room for improvement, I wish they would offer an option that you could have meat and paneer, rather than two meats. Also, I wish they offered a gluten free option for dessert as gulab jamun contained flour. Service was great, parking is based on luck, and prices are very reasonable!

After spending the day out on the water, we were ready to unwind with a great meal. We love Nepali…read moreand Indian cuisine, so when we found Aroma House nearby, we decided to give it a try. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a small restaurant, there weren't any other guests when we arrived, and it felt like they were just getting started for the day. Since we were almost two hours from home, we figured we'd stay anyway. That turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. We ordered some of our favorites: Chicken Tikka, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, and rice. Instead of our usual biryani, our server recommended the coconut rice. I'd only ever had coconut rice with Caribbean or Thai food, never with Nepali or Indian cuisine, so we decided to trust the recommendation. From the very first bite, we could tell everything was made fresh with care. The coconut rice was incredibly rich, creamy, and flavorful, it practically melted in our mouths and paired beautifully with the Chicken Tikka. The Tandoori Chicken was perfectly marinated with just the right amount of char, juicy on the inside and packed with flavor. The Aloo Gobi was equally impressive, with tender potatoes and cauliflower that had soaked up every bit of the aromatic spices. And the garlic naan? Fresh, buttery, and the perfect companion to every dish. This was hands down some of the best Nepali and Indian food we've had in a long time. Every dish tasted thoughtfully prepared, and the warm hospitality made the experience even better. If we're ever in the area again, I'd gladly make the nearly two-hour drive back just to eat here. Honestly, locals should be filling this place every night. It's a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered, and it's one we'll be recommending to our friends and family.

Thanks for a great dinner and making us feel like we're at home.

Lot of main dishes, desserts, and a live dosa station. I had the lamb, fish, and a couple chicken curries, with biryani rice. Very well made, all.

Windows are surrounded by their banana plants outside which gives a nice appearance. Good ambiance. Friendly staff. Will return again for sure if we are in the area.
