My wife and I have been going to Afghan Kebab House for years and it has always been an enjoyable experience with great food. The service is impeccable with the restaurant owner often coming to the table to make sure you are getting everything you need. The atmosphere is casual and quiet- perfect for people to enjoy their meal without distractions. And as a bonus, it is BYOB so you can enjoy your favorite wine without the usual restaurant mark-up.

We really wanted to like this place, but sadly, the service was so awful, we most likely wouldn’t return. The sambosa and bolance kachalou were decent, the tandoori chicken breast kebab was good, and the combo kebab was fine. Unfortunately, our waiter was extremely unpleasant, incompetent, and inattentive, which really made for an unpleasant experience.
