I went today with my kids just the three of us and was surprised to see a gratuity added to our bill even before taxes. When I politely asked about it, the man at the desk was extremely rude and dismissive. It honestly ruined what used to be one of my favorite places to eat. I’ve been coming here for a long time, but after this experience, I don’t think I’ll be back. It’s really disappointing to see how the attitude and service have gone downhill.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We are very familiar with Persian and Indian cuisine. Afghan foods share common flavors with these cultures, using herbs that bring out the best out of lamb, beef and chicken true to middle eastern flavors. Fremont Kabob serves delicious meals using halal meat that tickles your taste buds. Tonight, we started with the eggplant appetizer along side the complimentary the flat bread. My wife ordered the lamb shank stewed in a tomato garlic sauce. I opted for two kabobs (beef and lamb). Both came with white basmati rice that was cooked to perfection. Service was quick. Food was delicious and ambiance gave a cozy feel, accepting all who want a taste of Afghan delicacies. Table settings were covered with white paper adding a bit of elegance, aligning with fine dining establishment. I have to admit, I'm a cutlery snob so "cheap" cutlery is often something that tarnishes my overall dining experience. Call it a pet peeve, but straight edges hurt my hand and cheap cutlery often are stamped cut metal. Despite this, I would still return to try other dishes and perhaps bring my own cutlery to use. I highly recommend this Afghan restaurant.

Food took a little long to come out but it was worth the wait. Hot and fresh ingredients, my lamb shank literally fell off the bone when I tried picking it up. The chicken kofta was amazing, and the Chapli kabab platter was seasoned very well. Didn’t take pictures because I was too excited to eat the food.
