First time here. We dined in. Friendly service, delicious food! Didn't get a picture of the lamb but it was our favorite. Good portions, the bread dipped in the yogurt sauce was delicious. It was a great meal!
The food here is delicious. Large portions, fluffy rice, and good flavors. There platters also come with really good bread.
Amazing food and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Inside could use a little umpf.
Best hummus around !! So far all the good is great! Also the veggie samosas are delicious :)
The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for ambiance, this is not the place to go. However, the food was delicious.
OMG! Let's start there, not only was I happy for them that they survived 2020 where many other stores shuttered, it appears they are expanding. We have not been here for some time and while i remember the food being really good; that would turn out to be an understatement for our return visit. If you pass up a chance to eat here base your first impressions of its location and or interior I can say without hesitation you'll be missing out on something uniquely special. We had 3 lamb chop platters, chicken tika platter, and hummus with the best flat bread anywhere. Now I think the prices were a bit higher but we all only talked about how good the food was and looking forward to finishing our leftovers the next day ... if not for breakfast. I'm really torn having to write this review as I really don't want anyone getting in the way the next time I want to visit.
It has been a few years since I was in the area and stopped in, but I'm glad I did. Grabbed a lamb gyro for a quick lunch. Boom! Hit the spot. It was just as good as I had remembered. Unfortunately, I was on a time crunch and didn't snap a picture before I inhaled the food. I'll just say it is worth a stop if you are in the area. The food is and always was delicious, I wish I was in the area more often. Stop in and check them out.
Tried the leftovers from here cousin in law brought over the one family party where we ate his leftovers lol. The green and white sauce both really good and necessary. Me and my cousin went here and he was like the rice is so good. But not so. The rice is bland. We had it before with the sauces which made it good. Without the sauce it's bland but can season to taste or add the sauce His kids got the shrimp platter which I didn't try I got the lamb gyro platter since that was the recommendation when I asked the cook what to get. The lamb chop my cousin got was good but so was the lamb gyro. I wish I got regular gyro but was still good and I'd come back to try some of the other dishes but must get extra sauce both green and white both are good
Some items they are great at, and some are just OK. I'd advise sticking with anything that's on the Afghan side than going for American type foods. Their lamb gyro platter is pretty good and worth the trip back.
I'm a huge fan of the Afghan Kabob and Grill location in North Brunswick; some of the best Afghani food around! This is my third time eating/picking up from the Hamilton location. The food here is just as tasty and good as their other location. This time we ordered Chicken Tikka Kabob, Mediterranean Kabob, and Chicken Gyro Platter. All the entrees were generous in portion size and delicious. The Mediterranean Kabob and the Gyro Platter were the best! The Afghani Naan accompanying the entrees is freshly made and served warm. Their food is very flavorful and hearty, yet not heavy. The main difference between this location and the other is the interior. I also feel service is more friendly in North Brunswick. This location is much smaller and has a bit more of a fast food, order at the counter type of feel. The North Brunswick location is more spacious and a nicer dining environment. I prefer the North Brunswick location for dining in, but as far as food quality goes both deliver solid Afghani meals!
