Kabuli Grill

So this is my honest first time having “authentic” Afghan food, and the meat is incredibly juicy and flavored very nicely, however the rice isn’t authentic at all. Just kinda seems like they sprinkled shaved carrots and a pinch of raisins on top idk. I’m not afghani so don’t take my word for it lol but I’m sure there are other reviews saying the same in regard to their “signature rice”. The service was not bad, but they don’t give you any plastic spoons or forks when we picked up our food, the lady told me to go next door to the other halal restaurant and ask for utensils 😂 I don’t think I’ll be coming back again, but the chicken was incredibly warm, tender and juicy, and the beef was similar as well. Honest review would be a 7/10

Food was good. Fresh & delicious, but food portion wasn’t expected as price tag. Price is higher than the similar restaurant. Environment was also good.

Great afghan food

The food was excellent, authentic, flavorful, and very true to the Kabuli style. It was one of the best Afghan meals I’ve had in NYC. The service could be improved, but the team clearly has great potential and the capacity to grow. I would definitely visit again.

El mejor restaurante de Astoria. Es la primera vez que como comida afgana. Le invito a todos los Latinos para que vengan y lo prueben.

Not coming back. The staff seemed rude and uninterested, and the experience was not enjoyable.

Bad customer service. We waited too long and had to keep asking for help.
