Fantastic Afghan Cuisine!

by slocyclist at Citysearch

Kabul Afghan Cuisine has a fairly standard location in a strip mall, and a generic restaraunt-ish interior. And that is where all that is bland, boring and generic ends. Kabul offers great afhgani food at reasonable prices. There's a wide variety of dishes - all of which are tasty. Particular favorites of ours are the mantu and kadu. Yum! The servers are courteous and check in with us frequently - but not intrusively.

• Pros: Great food, great service

Best Afghan Food, Best Service, based on our consistent 15 years experience!

Our family has had great experience at Kabul Afghan Restaurant in Sunnyvale California.

The food is healthy and tasty. The service is superb, professional, and friendly.

The restaurant is located very close to Sunnyvale Library on El Camino Real. Having lived in Afghanistan for quite some time, we know the authentic Afghan food when we see it, (or taste it.) We have tried many dishes. The Kabob Gousefand and the meal with lots of Sabzi Chellow, or any of the other delicacies are prepared to perfection. They always give a fresh green salad with their special salad dressing. With complete meals, you get a slice of Barbary Bread that is very tasty and fresh baked.

As a drink, you can have all the usual ones in addition to the Dough, which yogurt, water and tiny pieces of graded cucumbers. This is a real Persian/Afghani specialty. In this restaurant it is superbly done. They also put some dried tasty vegetable powder on the top that gives this a very unique taste.

We usually ask for the Kadoo (Baked Pumpkin) as an appetizer, it is out of this world.

They also have a well stocked wine bar.

Ask for Baklava and/or freshly brewed hot tea for desert. Another desert item, the "Elephant Ear" is quite big and tasty as well.

We strongly recommend this restaurant!

WE usually did not make reservation and seating was usually without wait.

• Pros: Food, Service, Authenticity, Taste, Freshness
• Cons: It is in a small shopping center right off El Camino, but you can not miss it!
