This restaurant has become my weekly stop. The food is amazing and staff is always friendly. There is a grocery and Halal meat store attach to this restaurant, which makes it so convenient to get what I need. Please do try Chapli Kabab and dumplings....Read More

I lived in Santa Clara for 22 years and missed this gem. The restaurant is part of the Afghan market and it serves regular Afghan food. Portions were huge. I ordered a combo Chapli with brown rice and it was enough for two meals. And I could not resist...Read More

My favorite afghan restaurant in the area. This is a market/Afghani restaurant. The chicken kebab here is among the best in the bay area. They also have a lunch buffet on weekdays. It's really excellent and cheap compared to the other buffets in the area....Read More

What an amazing find! The kabuli pulao with the lamb shank was off the charts. I’ll have to work through the menu here now!

Kind of a hidden gem for me and I'm glad I noticed it. Good amount of variety in the menu for such a small place hidden within a market. I got the mantu with a side of rice and they were great. Very friendly cashier.

Food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is a work of art! We love all their kabobs, but the chapli kabob is our favorite. Also recommend the bolani and the eggplant, but really there's no going wrong. If I were ordering for the family, I would...Read More

Awesome place to buy halal meats and fresh Afghan bread. The chapli had too much binder/flour in it. Kabuli Pulao was good.

Been looking for a solid chicken wrap I can regularly eat for lunch under $15. The wrap from Meiwand was very good. Lots of chicken, especially for $10, and it was moist. I ordered to-go but made the mistake of stopping for an errand on...Read More

Delicious, Authentic Afghan food! Portions are great, enough to share amongst friends. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only downside is minimal vegetarian options

We love this Afghan store for the food in the restaurant part and the delicious bread they bake there. We love the buffet food plus the Ghanelipolo in their restaurant.

As far as I know, the only good kebab I have found in the bay area. Also has a nice small market for some essentials like Labne and flatbread.

Absolutely the best Afghan food in town. This place has been a regular for us for weeknights and weekends, as well as quick catering for small parties. Their menu is simple, but every item they make is amazing. Kabobs are tender and juicy. …

The most delicious food. The chicken melts in your mouth as well as the rice and they serve the most generous portions for the price. The koobideh and beef is seasoned perfectly and so juicy and tender but zero fat. Afghan food is …
