The positive reviews of this place don't do it justice! (I can only assume the negatives being surrounding business trying to... derate the competition.) My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch. This is a family-owned business, with Mom and Dad workingin the back and their son taking orders up front. As we were ordering, I noticed that when I mentioned I wanted a combination(drink and fries also) the father threw some fries in the fryer. I ordered the potato bolani, and the mom casually grabbed somebread dough and a rolling pin and got to work. Before I had even paid for my order, two other people were working on it! A waitof about ten minutes, and the food arrived. I'm not a very good food photographer, but I included a picture. It was even betterthan it looks! The hot potato bolani bread was amazing, the chicken shawarma sandwiches excellent and fresh, and the friescrisped to perfection! Probably the best lunch my wife and I have had in a very long time! I talked to the proprietorsafterwards and found out they make their dough daily, and cook it fresh when you order it for the bolani. They start their daywell before they open preparing the food, even marinating the meat the day before it is served. We ordered rather generic items,but the food was was fresh, tasty, and on point. I cannot wait to go back and try other menu items that include the lamb andbeef! Update: I've been back multiple times, tried various other items, and my enthusiasm for Baba Kabob has only increased!The spicy gyro shawarma sandwich is amazing! Read more
I ordered a Chicken Shawarma Salad for takeout. Overall, price is fair for the quantity and the quality. This place... specializes in Afghan cuisine. Chicken is very tender but crispy on the outside. Good flavor, fresh salad. Read more
Can't say enough great things about this restaurant. The food was amazingly delicious and the portion was great and get the... feeling of satisfaction. The price is unbeatable. Came here after a long drive from San BERNARDINO. I missed Afghan people andtheir authentic food. GOD BLESS YOU Lala Jan! for your honesty, humble and generosity. I hope, you keep this amazing recipesand I wish to come back here again for tender, delicious chicken kabab, Chivs Bolani and kabuli Palaw. The only thing wasmissing, was Afghan tea. But it's okay. Still had a great time. Read more
The staff here is amazing, especially Ramell! I?ve eaten here numerous times, and was referred by my barbershop a few doors... down, The Mecca. Food is delicious, hot, and of great quality! Restroom is clean, restaurant is clean, and I highly recommend! Read more
Small gem hidden away. Really good kabob better than expected it. Grilled right there on the fire stove and you can taste it.... The meat just comes apart with the plastic fork. The most amount of yummy rice I ever gotten anywhere!!!! Our entrees came withtzatziki and some green sauce which had a kick to it which is what we love. On top of the huge portions of kabobs and rice wasa side salad.... this should have been at least a meal for 2 but I'm a pig when it comes to good food so I ate the whole thingand skip dinner. Still funny a customer came in asking for Iranian kebab and the cashier had to explain to him that he is notan Iranians from Iran and show the customer this is how we do our kabob. In front of the shop does say Afghan. But back to foodwe was really satisfied with our chicken kabob and lamb kabob entrees. Will definitely do the 30 minutes drive back to have somemore. Read more

Literally one of the best Kabob places I've been to. Friendly owners/staff. I usually go there every other week. The Baba... Kabob sandwich is loaded, and the meat is cooked to perfection. Spicy version has a perfect balance of heat and flavor. Read more
