Kabul House offers a taste of authentic Afghan cuisine. Our extensive menu includes lamb, seafood, beef & chicken dishes as well as vegetarian specialties that include pumpkin, eggplant, spinach & other fresh vegetable options. Our menu hosts a large variety of selections fit for anyone, from vegetarians to meat lovers alike. In most of our recipes, a limited amount of fresh spices & seasonings are used to season the dish in order to create a sensational taste that is not too overwhelming. This makes our Afghan cuisine very enjoyable for anyone & everyone. The atmosphere we provide for our patrons is one of which would be produced in our homes, relaxing, invitingly warm & unforgettable. We could go on & on claiming how exquisite our foods are, but we invite you to come & taste for yourself.

    Service was a bit slow. It takes a while to get the attention of a server. We ordered 2 pots of tea and we got one then we reminded the server that we ordered 2 and it took a while to get the second pot.

    First time to Kabul House. Will definitely be back. Everything about lunch there was outstanding: quality of food, service, noise level, value.

    This is my second visit to this restaurant. the food is well prepared . we were not rushed and the servers were friendly. They do not serve alcohol and I don't know if you can bring your own. they have a large parking lot. I can't say if the food was authentic because I have never been to Afghanistan but is was exotic and very good.

    Food was great, even though we waited for than 15 mins for our table with a reservation. Also it was a little loud, too bad they don’t have a bar. It’s BYOB so plan accordingly.

    Arrived for 7pm reservation and was seated promptly. This was my first time dining at the restaurant, but my dining companion eats there often. Ordered Mantoo and an eggplant appetizer, which were very good. The entrees are served on large plates and have very generous portion of rice, more than I can eat. We tried chicken sultan dish and filet mignon shish kabob. My favorite bites were the Chicken Koobidah skewer and the appetizers ! I’ll go again to try a few more dishes.

    Usually vey good food. The lentil soup, as always, was excellent, The lamb shank was a bit dry, as was the spectacular Kabul rice, which benefitted from the extra sauce I requested of two busboys who looked at me like I was crazy, but which the waiter, Jorge, graciously suppled. So, foodwise, a strong 4/ On the service side, twas a bit jumbled. The bus boy delivered our main courses before my lentil soup, A language problem was clear, since he understood nothing, and I had to talk to two busboys before I got Jorge;s attention, who removed our main courses and delivered the soup. The busboys also could not describe the characteristics of the two sauces we were served, again accomplished by the talented Jorge. My friend had the lamb Kabob which was excellent, at an ordered medium rare and superbly done. Last, Kabul's excellent Naan is no more, having been replaced by some other bread like dry thing. New management, apparently. A mixed experience. I will go back, loyal customer for many years.
