| - Wanting to step out of my comfort zone I decided, after some hesitation, to try Bamiyan Kabob. Since I've never tried Afghani food, I really had no idea what to expect. I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
Bamiyan Kabob serves lamb, chicken and beef kabobs dinners (with rice, salad and naan bread included), meals without the rice and wraps. Other salads and side dishes are also available.
I decided to try the Kofta Kabob dinner. The two skewers of seasoned marinated ground beef were flavorful, moist, but at the same time not overly fat and 'bouncy' in texture. The rice was simply magnificent. Try this rice and you'll never look at simple plain white rice the same way again. The salad and freshly made naan bread were also very good.
The restaurant is spacious and clean sporting a fast food concept but where you give your order at the counter and wait for your receipt number to be called when your meal is ready. As mentioned in Sameer D.'s review, food preparation time is on the high side but I'd rather wait and have freshly made than be quickly served with food from warming bins.
Also, try the firnee, a pleasantly sweet custard-like pudding dessert. A perfect complement to a spicy meal.
Prices for the dinners range from $9-$12 but the large serving sizes definitely put these meals in the 'good value' category.
I definitely recommend Bamiyan Kabob and I will be going back to try their other meat offerings.
