Mayars Halal Meat & Grill — Restaurant in Modesto

Update!! Bcuz of my last amazing experience I went again and took a friend with me. Ordered the same Kabuli pulao and lamb seekh tikka. This time the. Chef was off. We had food poisoning. Most likely we were served few days old pulao or the lamb. Customer service has improved.

Best place in California for authentic Afghani taste. Kabuli pulow, all of the lamb n beef bbq tikka and kababs. I've tried almost every Afghani restaurant in Norcal but no one has the authentic tastem. But this one for sure!!

Kabuli pulao tastes authentic but it wasnt fresh made. Pulow comes with two sides and a naan which is very traditional. And the sides tasted really good. The salad served with the pulow was the top quality of a salad I've ever had at any halal restaurant in US.

Price $27 for a big plate of kabuli pulow with a lamb shank, two side currys kidney beans and spinach, one piece of naan and a bowl of Salad. Two seekh of lamb tikka kabob. Pulow was enough for two people I couldn't finish it.

I'd come back always for fresh kabuli palow and the seekh tikka and kababs. It has been always my favorite to eat the pulow with the seekh tikka. Best combination and I'm glad I found one in America.

The star of show is the bbq chef. There can't be better bbq than this in California I've been everywhere. This is the real taste of Pakistan and Afghanistan with the lamb,beef bbq. The bbq chef has actually worked in a famous restaurant in islamabad for 20 years so all can imagine.

Customer service is nice but can be improved alot. When I was sat in the restaurant there was alot of talking and chatting going on at the back.

Recommendation. if Pulow is not very fresh just steam it. Don't heat it any other way. But the best would be not serving if it's not made the same day. But steaming is only good for 12 hours so let's say you cook the pulow in morning it will keep it fresh until the...

If you’re craving a delightful mix of flavors, look no further! The kabobs—both Shami Kabob and Teka Kabob—are absolutely divine. The Shami Kabob offers a beautifully soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a perfect balance of spices that feel both comforting and indulgent. On the other hand, the Teka Kabob is tender, juicy, and expertly grilled, with a smoky aroma that enhances its rich flavor profile.

Pair these with a warm cup of Green Tea, which is refreshingly soothing and an ideal complement to the hearty kabobs. The tea’s subtle aroma and light taste cleanse your palate, allowing you to savor each bite.

And let’s not forget the Afghan Special Burgers—a unique treat that combines vibrant Afghan flavors with a deliciously juicy patty, fresh vegetables, and perfectly balanced sauces. The fusion of traditional spices in a modern burger format is simply unforgettable!

Together, this combination of kabobs, tea, and burgers makes for an incredible dining experience you won’t...

A MUST TRY! I Tried this place today and i have to admit that they might have the tastiest Chicken Schwarma in Modesto. It tasted like they marinated it with plenty of fresh spices. Meal was cooked to order and customer service was amazing. We ate outside near their kabob grill, and had the honor of watching them cook kabobs over fire, The employee was even kind enough to offer my friend some fresh brewed zafron tea. According to my friend, it was amazing, I didnt take a picture of our food, since I finished it as soon as it was ready. It just smelled and looked so good. Nicely cooked bread and fresh vegetables. Will definitely return. NEW OWNERS!, so you can disregard any negative reviews from the past. Store was clean, and all of the meat that i saw was extremely fresh!... I will add a picture soon, probably later this week.. I will probably write a new review soon as i am planning to try everything...
