| - Exec Summary: A newer version of Bamiyan Kabab across the street. A bit more expensive, and all meals come with rice so I wouldn't recommend for lunch. The do have additional sauces though, that Bamiyan does not have. Food is comparable.
What I had: chicken breast dinner
Cost: About $10-12 + tax
I'm a fan of Bamiyan (across the street) which has always been good, at both locations I've tried. But with a new player in town, I decided to give Kandahar a try, and lo and behold, it was very, very similar to Bamiyan. I guess there's not much you can do to change up this type of cuisine. This review will largely focus on the differences between the two.
The main difference is that Kandahar doesn't seem to give you an option to get a meal without the rice so you end up with a ton of food, more than I like to eat for lunch anyway.
It's also a bit more expensive than Bamiyan for similar meals.
They do have lamb chops, which Bamiyan doesn't have, but I've yet to try it.
The naan here is better than Bamiyan in my opinion (Bamiyan's cardboard-y naan is my one complaint).
They also have two kinds of sauces/dips that Bamiyan doesn't have, and they're both quite good.
Wait times were longer, but not significantly longer than Bamiyan.
I'm not sure what the big fuss is on the previous reviews. I didn't see any issues with cleanliness, but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. All in all, I'll try it again for the lamp chop dinner, but definitely not for lunch as it's just way too much food!
