Taste of Afghan — Restaurant in Portland

I’ve been seeing afghan food on social media for awhile and specifically kabobs and eggplants combos. I’ve been hyper fixated on this forever and I knew Taste of Afghan was around and they had the eggplant I’ve been wanting to try! I was able to stop by at the food carts and ordered a combo plate with chicken and beef with rice. The lady was so sweet and kind and let me try the eggplant because they offer it as an entree not a side. SO KIND. I was very excited. The food was very tasty and yummy. Also the eggplant did not disappoint this was so good and I will only eat it this way definitely worth the time to wait and try...The chicken was juicy and flavorful I ate it all so fast i wished I had more haha. The lentils was also flavorful along with the spicy mint sauce. I will be returning as this is now one of my favorite dishes! Thank you!!! I don’t know if there are other afghan food options east of the willamette so I highly recommend trying...

I don't write review, this is probably my first ever or something. But I had to write one for this place, because I need to put into words how I (and the rest of my party) were feeling. First off, we'd read the reviews and seen the menu, and we knew walking in that it'd be good food. Indeed, we'd not eaten breakfast in preparation to show up at noon. But let me say that we were in no way prepared for the experience.

We ordered the Chapli kabob, Afghani Pulao, Seekh Kabob and Boolani between 3 of us (1 Indian, 2 Pakistani), and chais individually. The aunties in the truck were super nice to us, greeting us in Urdu. Once the food arrived, we did not know where to start. It was steaming hot, but all of us burned our throats in eating. A few tears were shed as we ate, with memories of home and our mothers' cooking flooding in.

We will remember the Taste of Afghan for...

Hold onto your taste buds, because the Afghani Chicken Soup with Lots of Veggies is an absolute flavor explosion! 🔥 I recently had the culinary pleasure of tasting this incredible soup, and let me tell you, it’s a life-changing experience. Imagine tender, succulent pieces of chicken, perfectly simmered in a rich, aromatic broth that transports your senses straight to the heart of Afghanistan. Now add a cornucopia of vibrant, farm-fresh vegetables that add a burst of color and an orchestra of flavors in every spoonful and they make fresh soup every Friday and Saturday those two days highly recommend to come try it and the lady is very nice and friendly and knows how to satisfy there customers I can’t wait to go back and try different type of Afghan...
