Kucci Afghanisches Restaurant حلال Halal — Restaurant in Freiburg im Breisgau

Kucci, an Afghani restaurant, is a very under-recognized, underrated, dining highlight in Freiburg. Great service, incredibly homey good food, and a lovely, peaceful, evocative ambience both inside and out.

There's nothing I've had here that hasn't been good, and some of it has been truly wonderful. Of particular highlight, their lamb is fantastic, some of the best I've had anywhere, tender, soft, flavorful, and not dry. Their soups feel very homemade and comforting. Something you might get from a grandmother, moreso than most restaurants. (In a good way.)

Other highlights are the Lagma pasta dish, which is an absolutely delicious experience worth your time, despite its seemingly unassuming and simple menu description. Their tea, particularly the fresh hot mint tea, and their cooling Minztraum mint-limo drink are really fantastic, fresh, and both comforting and refreshing. An unusual highlight can be found amongst their deserts in a Cardamon-Chili Eis Parfait that is a delightful surprise and wonderfully interesting combo flavour-wise, with the chili clashing brilliantly with the cold of the ice-cream, and the cardamon providing a lovely, subdued, elegant, uniquely flavorful backdrop. A desert worth trying, at least once, even if you don't usually splurge on having a desert with your meal usually.

Really a wonderful experience, restaurant, food, and people. I've become very fond of it over the times I've been there. Truly a place of comfort and comfort food. Highly...

We had a wonderful evening with delicious Afghan food at Kucci.

We ordered a Mantu & Ashak combo (afghan dumplings with minced meat or leek fillings), Kabuli Palau (rice with finely chopped carrots and raisins) with a side of lamb meat, onions, mushrooms and egg, a mixed pan of eggplant and tomato. As sides we had some fresh green salad and flat bread. For dessert we went with Firni, a creamy almond / milk pudding topped with pistachio.

The food was all very tasty and our 7y + 9y old kids also enjoyed it a lot. I greatly encourage you to try Afghan food if you haven't yet.

Our waiter was very friendly and seated us in a cozy, comfortable and beautiful floor seating covered with carpets and under a roof like a canopy bed.

Would come...

When you go to a traditional Afghan restaurant, you expect to enjoy authentic Afghan food — especially the bread, which is an essential part of the experience. Instead, we were served traditional Albanian bread. When I asked about it, I was told that due to the lack of Afghans in the area and not having the right tools, they couldn’t make traditional Afghan bread.

To add to the disappointment, the overall quality of the food was poor. Despite that, we paid the full bill — not because we were satisfied, but out of respect and courtesy...
