“ This place was delicious with service that made you feel like you were part of the family. We got the bolani, fish qorma and seekh kebab. All of the flavors were perfect and everything was cooked really well. Will definitely be back ”

“ Fantastic dining experience! The four of us came on a Sat night just before 6PM and were able to get seated right away. Really comfortable and inviting atmosphere. My bride went with the Murgh Kabob with with Badenjan Borani ($27) and my DIL went with the Bara Kabob ($32). My son and I ordered the Combination Kabob for Two with chicken and beef ($90). It was an overwhelming majority vote....we all absolutely loved everything we ordered! The service from Yama and the entire staff was super friendly and hospitable. We highly recommend this place! ”

“ Wonderful experience at Kabul last weekend! I've always been curious about this place and finally gave it a try. First time having Afghan cuisine and the flavors are just, wow! Hubby and I got the combo plate for two with lamb and steak kebab. Starts with a bowl of Ash soup, which was just delightful on a cold evening. The flavor combination was so unique. With the kebabs, you're also served a cucumber based salad (light and refreshing), Badenjan Borani (eggplant), and Kabuli Palaw (huge rice dish). Neither of us are big fans of eggplant, but I ended up eating mine and half of his. The sauce on them is absolutely amazing. And the rice...so good! Wonderfully spiced and the raisins in there are flavorful and juicy, not your average raisins. It all came together so well. You end with Firni for dessert. I liked the texture of this, but the rose water just didn't hit my palate right. Hubby enjoyed it for us. We were pretty hungry so also added a Bolani appetizer. This was pretty good, but would try other items next time. We were stuffed and took home leftovers. The service was wonderful. We felt like family and the owner brought over some house made spicy sauce for my hubby. We were also given a recommendation to try the Lebanese red wine, and it paired perfectly with our meal. We were looking to spice things up from our normal dining options in Seattle and Kabul delivered above and beyond. There are several other items on the menu that I am excited to come back and try! ”

“ We had such a great meal with friends here! It has a great small family business vibe and the service was great. We started with a bottle of wine and the potato pastry appetizer. These were fun to try but nothing crazy. We shared the lamb and chicken kebabs and the cauliflower dish. We also added eggplant to the side. Everything was very flavorful and delicious! My only complaint is that for the quantity of food, the mains were very pricey, so not the best value. ”

“ An amazing spot for a date or solo date! The service staff is so kind, and was happy to give me recommendations. I could really feel the Afghan hospitality! My waitress recommended the ash and bolani for starters and ashak or murgh kebab for mains. I had the bolani and ashak. The bolani was crispier than I am used to, but it was nice! I like the addition of the green onions in the filling! The ashak was also nice, it tasted like pasta, so a good thing to try if you are not really in the mood for too much meat. However, the kebabs and pulao looked very tempting from what I saw! The dessert menu looked really good as well! Unfortunately I was too full, but I'll definitely come back for the firni!! ”

“ I've never had afghan food before this and now I am SOLD!! I didn't realize some of my favorite flavors (coriander, saffron, pistachio, dill, etc.) and textures (filo dough, cooked eggplant, yummy dips, etc.) were cornerstones of the cuisine, and now that I do there's no turning back. Service was speedy and kind, food came out quick! Very local/small business feel, they had a live musician playing a traditional instrument (sarod I think?) and the owner was so friendly and I could see clear community/relationships happening the whole time we were there. Everything we got was SO GOOD. The flavors and textures were truly 10/10. The cardamom tea was a special treat, and the firni dessert was the perfect close to a stellar meal. ”

“ Kabul Afghan Cuisine has been recommended by a friend as one of the tastiest places in Seattle that she has been to - I personally have never tried Afghan cuisine before, so I was definitely looking for opportunities to swing by to try this interesting cuisine! We went on a Wednesday around 7pm and were seated promptly. The ambience of the restaurant does feel very homely, with pictures and art of Afghan landscapes, architecture, and culture. Tables are laid out with candles and lights are dimly lit, and service is responsive and fast. Food came out in a reasonable time, but it was also given that it wasn't really busy that night. I was surprise that we were able to get a table with a reservation so easily, so that was a plus. Since this was a nice restaurant we wanted an opportunity to try as much variety as possible, so our waitress recommended the Combination Kebab for two ($80) - we decided to go that route as it looked very enticing! I'll review the items we got down below: Ash: This is a delicious bowl of soup! I loved the flavor profile as you could really taste the herbs - there is a certain richness from how thick the soup was that I enjoyed. There was a decent amount of chickpeas and kidney beans in the soup, and both were tender. Badenjan Borani: A delicious eggplant portion - the eggplant is very soft and covered in a good amount of tomato sauce and spices. What I liked about this dish is that it pairs nicely with the kebab, as the creaminess of the yogurt sauce and acidity of the tomato complements the meatiness of the kebab. Beef and Chicken Kebab Combo: These are hearty chunks of meat! There is a decent blend of chew and tenderness through each chunk, and you can subtlety taste the spices and marinade. It is a decent portion of kebab given, and when paired with the Salata and Kabuli Palaw, this is a good amount of food that will definitely leave you satisfied. The Kabuli Palaw rice dish was delicious! I could definitely eat a whole plate of the rice itself - you can taste the coriander and cumin, and the raisins and nuts give it a pleasing texture. The Salata was alright, it was mostly just cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions in a small bowl - it did serve as a palate cleanser, but I would say this was my least favorite of the experience. I loved that they gave you a good tasting option for the variety of Afghan dishes that they serve where. Firni: Yum! This is a decadent dessert was really creamy and had hint of rosewater. Wasn't too heavy, and had a light airy nature to it. I would say this is a solid end to the experience! In the end, we spent about $105 for this meal. It does lean a bit on the pricier side for two people, but the service was nice, and it is a really good tasting menu if you haven't had Afghan Cuisine before! I would definitely like to revisit in the future to try the other options that Kabul has to offer. ”
