About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for groups
Kabul House offers a taste of authentic Afghan cuisine. Our extensive menu includes lamb, seafood, beef & chicken dishes as well as vegetarian specialties that include pumpkin, eggplant, spinach & other fresh vegetable options. Our menu hosts a large variety of selections fit for anyone, from vegetarians to meat lovers alike. In most of our recipes, a limited amount of fresh spices & seasonings are used to season the dish in order to create a sensational taste that is not too overwhelming. This makes our Afghan cuisine very enjoyable for anyone & everyone. The atmosphere we provide for our patrons is one of which would be produced in our homes, relaxing, invitingly warm & unforgettable. We could go on & on claiming how exquisite our foods are, but we invite you to come & taste for yourself.

    Kabul House has been a favorite for many years. The flavors and choices are unique and delicious. The appetizers are especially great. We love the dumplings ! In a time when so many restaurants offer boring dishes, Kabul House stands out for its tantalizing choices!

    Absolutely love their food. The appetizers are fantastic - especially love the potato leek flatbread with yogurt sauce and chutney. Entrees are consistently cooked to perfection and the Afghan rice is wonderful. Service is great and the restaurant is beautiful. HIGHLY recommended!

    Excellent food. Kabobs are common, but not these are head and shoulders over the rest. Lamb chops were amazing! Lovely dining room.
