Afghan Kababs & Grill — Restaurant in Upper Macungie Township

It is important for you to know that I lived in New York for most of my life and frequently ate wonderful Afghan meals in Jackson Heights, Queens and in Manhattan in the theater district. I found this restaurant quite by accident and decided to try it. NANCY and SAYED gave me a memorable and delicious meal. I first tried an appetizer: A vegetable SAMOSA. The SAMOSA was very spicy but some yogurt dressing given to me by SAYED, cooled it enough to be very enjoyable. The main course was LAMB KABAB on a bed of yellow rice which I had never tried before. It is normally served on brown rice which I declined. It was the first time I ever ate yellow rice Afghan style which is made with turmeric and carrots and raisins and I could eat that every day for the rest of my life! SAYED kept raving about his brown rice but that yellow rice was great! NANCY told me that they make their own brewed green tea, and since I have had green tea hundreds of times in Asian restaurants, their green tea was the most delicious green tea I have ever tasted. Now for the LAMB KABAB. It was a very generous portion; thick and flavorful chunks of lamb that I had to cut into smaller pieces. I eat lamb in my favorite Turkish Restaurant, so I am really a connoisseur of perfectly cooked lamb. I would definitely put Afghan Kababs & Grill on my go to list for special occasions, and a great place to entertain my spice loving...

Afghan Kabab and Grill of Allentown:

A Mixed Bag Afghan Kabab and Grill in Allentown presents itself well with a clean and inviting atmosphere. However, our recent dining experience left us with mixed feelings. While the chicken and lamb kababs were decent, the ground beef kabab unfortunately fell short of expectations. The potato bolani, a dish we anticipated with excitement, was a significant disappointment. It bore little resemblance to the authentic version, lacking the characteristic flavor and texture. The green leaf bolani also failed to impress. Areas for Improvement: Ground Beef Kabab: Re-evaluate the recipe and cooking method to enhance flavor and texture. Bolani: Seek guidance from experienced Afghan cooks to recreate authentic potato and green leaf bolani. Consistency: Ensure consistent quality across all dishes. Overall: Afghan Kabab and Grill has the potential to be a good addition to the local dining scene. With some adjustments to the menu, particularly focusing on the quality of the ground beef kabab and the authenticity of the bolani, they can significantly improve their offerings.
