    Good selection of Arabic foods, groceries and products. Assorted variety of nuts, grains, lentils, spices and meats at competitive prices. Fresh deli stand offers various prepackaged and customizable foods that are perfect for a day on the beach. We've been going here for the past 6 years and the consistency has been appreciated s

It is truly an experience. The selection here is incredible. They have aisles packed with small cooking appliances, Mediterranean canned foods, and an amazing variety of fresh spices, nuts and seeds. It has everything a Middle Eastern cook could ask for, but what really surprised me was the variety beyond that. I brought a Hispanic friend of mine recently, and she was overwhelmed by how many hard-to-find Hispanic spices and foods they carried, too. Just a heads-up: the aisles are a little tight because they are packed with goodness, and the entrance is around the back in the parking lot (not facing the street). Parking can be tight in the lot, but there's plenty on the street. If you love cooking, you have to go here!"

I was obviously there for the restaurant. They have traditional Afghan style ground seating and regular restaurant style table seating. They bring out complimentary chicken soup, so yummy! Then we shared the traditional Afghan rice called quebuli rice. Then we shared the pizza ( sausage & Jalapeños). Beef kabob was on point it was my favorite item. They are known for their lamb skewers so we got a couple of those. Also a tandoori chicken. Everything here is 100% halal Finished off with afghan ice cream which was amazing !! Made from scratch. Highly recommend. Service was great and restaurant was clean which was a plus.

We visited last night for their Ramadan iftar buffet, expecting a proper variety of food. However, the options were extremely limited. The only main dish available was Qabuli, and it barely had any meat in it. There was also something that looked like Shami kebab, but it was unclear what it actually was. For iftar, people usually expect items like kebab, bolani, kofta ,qorma ,krahiii ,pakora, or other warm dishes, but none of these were available. Instead, they served bamya (okra) and soup, which are not typical foods to break a fast with. There was also nothing with sauce or gravy to eat with the Qabuli. Because of the lack of options, we ended up leaving still hungry, which should never happen after paying for a buffet. Another issue was with the service. A young Afghan waitress (she wears glasses; I unfortunately do not know her name) charged us incorrectly. We were 10 adults and one 7-year-old child, but we were charged for 12 people. I explained this several times, but it was not handled properly. She also repeatedly insisted that we must leave a tip, which is not appropriate behavior. Overall, the food quality, menu variety, and service were all very disappointing. I hope the management improves these issues, especially during Ramadan when customers expect a proper iftar experience.

They definitely invest their time on the taste of their food and serving large portion sizes instead of fancy tables and decor. It's not upscale fine dining... the interioir looks the exact same for past decade. Although a little dated the place is very clean and fits large or small groups. Not a date night spot -- more a friends and family stuff your face kind of place. They have a dedicated parking lot with plenty of spots. We ordered a ton of food to share. Half roasted chicken with side of fatoush salad, beef kabob plate with side of rice, lamb tikka with side of fries, a large plate of hummus, and an order of falafel (Best Falafel in SoCal). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I personally didn't like the lamb tikka but everyone else destroyed that plate. We ordered a pot of black tea (mint flavored) and they brought our large pieces of steaming hot fresh bread. Service was very friendly and fast. They modified any order to your liking. They also thanked us for coming and meant it when they said it -- Mom and Pop shops are The Best! Highly Recommend if you're looking for good quality middle eastern food with large portions.
