Kabul Restaurant and Bakery is a two-part Afghani spot serving halal kebabs and shawarmas from the front and, from its smaller store facing the inside of Flemingdon Park Plaza, groceries and sweets. The interior of its restaurant is surprisingly decorative, with a wall of fake greenery.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. All food at this restaurant is certified halal.

Went there today. Tried Chapli Kebob with rice and Chicken tikka salad. It was very average food. Left half of it. I could not finish it. It does not compare to the other popular Afghani restaurant.
Wait time is horrible. Food is ok but not as great. Price wise is fine
Really upset about a recent experience here. We sometimes stop here for dessert and last week we bought some cookies (3-4 pieces) and baklava (4 pieces). The guy behind the counter weighed it and then told my husband it was $9. My husband wanted to make sure he heard him right and asked him to clarify and the guy said $19. My husband and I both looked at each other in surprise because it seemed so expensive for such a small amount of baked goods. Nonetheless my husband paid him $20. The guy turned off the weighing scale and didn’t give us a receipt. As we were walking back to our car, my husband decided to turn back and ask the guy to weigh the food again just to be sure — the scale showed that it was only $9 altogether. My husband told him that he gave him $20 because he charged us $19. I think the guy tried to argue that he didn’t, and that my husband only gave him $10. Another employee came by and must have told the guy to give my husband the $10. This time my husband asked for a receipt. I want to believe this was an honest mistake but even I heard the guy say $19 and I definitely reacted because I thought that was rather expensive. The bakery items here are fine so no issues there but I wanted to share my experience, which happened on October 11. The situation made us feel like we were being unreasonable and had nothing better to do than to try to get $10 from a local business. Why turn off the weighing scale? Please, your customers deserve better than this. Lesson learned — always ask for a receipt. I’m all for supporting local businesses but this was truly disappointing.
