We walked in and the environment is like that of a creepy deli. There is only on lady working the front. We sat down and she didn’t even bring us the menu. We had to get our own menu off of other tables! The water is not free! We have to buy the bottled water. Stay away from this place… very unwelcoming and no customer service. Food was not that great… don’t get the lollipop chicken… Was dry and burnt.

Visited this restaurant today. Typically, I have a good experience with no issues, that wasn’t the case today. I walked in and the woman behind the counter was more concerned with her personal phone call than attending to customers. I finally made my order, one cheeseburger and one regular hamburger. When it came, I was charged for an inferno burger instead of a regular. I asked if I had been given an inferno burger and was reassured, multiple times because I asked, that I wasnt, only to find out when got home that it was in fact an inferno burger. I was very disappointed. I typically don’t write reviews but felt the need since the woman lied right to my face as I’m sure she knows what order she gave the cook. She even seemed to have an attitude when I asked her to correct my bill. The cheeseburger was OK, not up to par with what I’m used to. The quality of the food isn’t as great as it has been in the past.

That one star is for the falafel sandwich and the other star is for the guy who was serving me. The lady who is also behind the counter has the worst attitude ever. If you are going to get a job in hospitality, be hospitable. Not a ****. The chicken tikka tasted bland and undercooked compared to the fact that some fried chicken places do a better job. One thing though, the food is cheap. So you get what you pay for. I did not tip them because the lady’s attitude pretty much screwed it up. Not going back here. And other reviewers who think this place is amazing, well I suggest you go visit a doctor and get your taste buds back.

Wow! This is a real burger! Read all the good reviews and had to check it out. Nothing is better than a huge juicy burger grilled over charcoal. Wow. I was impressed with this delicious, massive burger I ordered. A HUGE delicious burger with fries and drink for $ 9 is hard to come by. Def eating here again. And again. And again :)

Waitress was terrible. She didn’t provide water when we asked. She said no when my friend asked for extra rice. She didn’t know the wifi password. The beef tikka didn’t taste like meat. Luckily, the chicken kufta was pretty good. If you want food from here, stick to the burgers.

We stumbled upon Charcoal Kabab when we were looking for lunch. It was one of the best places in the area with multiple options. I had very good brown rice and the chicken salad. Good portions.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended if you are in this area. I had two dishes and both came out steaming hot and exactly as ordered. I am here because I missed my flight which is sad, but the food here helped make up for it. Very nice people and tasty pad Thai.

The Inferno Burger was awesome. As far as some of the other items go, I am not too sure about. They did not have a few of the chicken items which I wanted to order, simply stating«we do not have that right now». Ordered the chicken curry and a paratha with that, was no where near what I expected. The service was decent. They do have some work to do on the seats tho, a lot of them are broken and the benches were slanted and way out of place.

Went here twice so far. The inferno burger is legit like other reviewers have written. But the Supreme burger is just too ridiculously good. Slow service the first time but definitely great staff and they did check up on my friend and I periodically. Kebabs are great as well, but their burgers are what makes me pick up from them regularly. Will definitely recommend this joint.

Great Afghan place! This might be one of my new local favorites. Very good food and good choices on the menu. The lamb shank was excellent. And free chai!

The food here is pretty good! Their fresh squeezed lemonade is to die for! The chicken and beef kofta combo is delicious! The service is also good. This place is very mellow and nice to go to when you’re in the mood for kababs or halal food. I would most definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family. Everyone has to stop by here atleast once.

Very good food and excellent service. The chicken kebab was on point. The setting was casual but nice and quiet. Would def come back again.

As my tip stated, the food here was so bad that I took two bites and asked for the check. I ordered lollipop chicken(served raw) the inferno burger(served partially raw) and the cheeseburger(served partially raw as well). Won’t be coming back. This place sucks.

I’m a big fan of afghan food and this place is one of my favorites right now. The food is really tasty and well priced, everything taste fresh and succulent. The service is super nice and attentive. I love that everything tastes fresh and homemade from their sauces to the lemonade and the dessert(I had fresh out of the oven cookies!). You can even get chai for $ 1, that’s always a big plus when you’re a chai addicted Indian.

One of my favorite Afghani restaurants to come to! Food is good, and service is good as well. They have good deals on family meals and the chicken kabab sandwich is really good. My favorite is the Chicken Kabab, followed by the Chicken Kofta Kabab. The only downfall is that sometimes the meat is under cooked and the meat is still red-ish. The Crème brûlée is very good. The baklava is good but it’s hard to break into with the plastic utensils. Would I recommend this place? Yes I do.

ONEWORD… PERFECTION. Walked into this spot randomly to have lunch after craving lamb chops and it was the best decision of life. The combo for 2 is just pure perfection. Chicken, lamb chops and beef kabab with jalapeño and tomatoes are just grilled to perfection. Granted I’m a huge pest about presentation, food and the IMPECCABLE service made up for it. Not only are the servers super bubbly but the manager was also very accomodating. I went back months after, deff worth the trip ANYDAY.
