About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
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.

    Kabul House is a suburban gem, lovely inside with great service and food and good value for the money. It was quite crowded when we were last there, but our table was ready on time and the service was excellent. My only complaint was the lamb on the skewers was a bit over cooked and tough and I would not choose that dish again.

    Kabul House never disappoints. Love the spicy and tender chicken kabobs and the double chocolate cake! Very attentive service, too.

    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.
