Kabul Express STL — Restaurant in St. Louis

My husband and I took a stay-cation and came to this restaurant after a good friend raved about Kabul Express STL!

I was not disappointed at all! Kauash, the owner, makes all the dishes and his customer service was outstanding! He is such a nice man! Great presentation, great concept , and great execution!

We ordered 3 dishes to share. We got the Falafel wrap, the butter chicken over rice and the Chicken Schwarma over rice. Desert was a pistachio, rose water ice cream in a sugar cone bowl!

The flavors were amazing and dishes, delicious (say that 10 times fast!)

The only thing I don’t like? I don’t live close enough to eat here everyday!!! I would love to see Kauash do a food truck, expand to a west county location, or somehow share with more people. This restaurant is a secret that should not be kept!

Thank you for the excellent experience, Kauash!! See...

This little place has really wonderful food. Being able to try food from a different culture other than my own is definitely one of my favorite things. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and my boyfriend had the Gyro Salad and 11/10 will return. This is going to be one of my go to spots. The flavors are so different than what I am used to and they have reeled me in. Each time I have visited I have seen the same gal is who super kind and welcoming. It is a small place and I really enjoy that. Typically, I take my food to go but would like to enjoy eating there one of these days. The first time I was able to experience Kabul Express STL was due to a fellow co-working needing someone to pick it up and for the travel offered to buy me lunch. That evening I went home and convinced my boyfriend to give it a try. Twice in one day should say something about how good...

Wow. Just wow.

It's a tiny place, but the flavor is BIG. Four small tables seating two people each, but they have carry out and delivery. Every ingredient is fresh and tastes great. I ordered their chicken wrap and it was amazing. Very different, but in a great way. Service was excellent; the guy was very nice. The atmosphere is pretty cool. While eating, I got to enjoy watching a game of cricket (and trying to understand what was happening because I'm not familiar with the sport). The only thing that was not all that great were the drinks. They only carry cans of soda if that's what you want and you need to purchase them individually. It wasn't too bad though, I just had to limit how much I drank.

All in all, there's a reason why this has five stars on Yelp and it's because...
