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

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!

It was one of my worst experiences with Afghani food. The place is very well decorated, but to tell you the truth i do not go to a restaurant for decoration. Usually around SF and surrounding cities, i have always had the opportunity to experience the great Afghan host hospitality in the Afghani restaurants. I have to say that i am very disappoited at the service and the quality of food that they served. There was an older lady that was very rude and did not even say any greeting and not even a person stopped by to check and refill the drink and ask if i needed anything, i would expect this if they are busy, but they were not. I will not go back and would not refer anyone to this location. Pros: Place is well decorated and clean Cons: Service is bad, food quality is not good

This is a great place to experience fabulous Afghan cuisine!! It has a great atmosphere for a small or large group. If you don't make reservations, expect a bit of a wait but it is worth it!! We have never been disappointed. I am not a big fan of lamb but they managed to make an appetizer with lamb that I really enjoyed! Every chicken dish is worth trying and the amount of food you get for the price is amazing!! Pros: parking, service Cons: hidden location can be hard to find

I've been going to this restaurant for several years, and the quality is alwasy consistently very good. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. Their food -- everything I've tried, which is most of their menu by now -- is great. Atmosphere is special. Prices are a little higher than many restaurants, but not at all outrageous. I take international business visitors to this place. It is a SIN to go there and not try their wonderful pumpkin.

This is my mom's favorite restaurant - a must-do when she is visiting from out of town. Highlights include the lamb with peas, juicy and tender kabobs, aushak (leek ravioli), and pumpkin (really butternut squash - sweet and savory). White tablecloths, but fine to bring well-behaved kids - they even eat the salad! Also good for take-out. Big portions - order several dishes and share.

This place is best known for their kabobs which are always excellent and are served with delicately flavored rice and wonderful bread. My current favorite is aushak, which can be ordered as an appetizer or as an entree. The meat sauce has great flavor without being spicy.
