Great food. Have never been disappointed everytime I went.
This place gets a zero. Rude lady and horrible service. We found hair in the food and items missing and she blamed it on uber eats. Not taking amy responsibility. When i called the lady started having temper tantrums. When i asked to speak to owner a guy who clearly was not the owner started saying bad words. Thankfully we recorded everything. This type of behavior can not be allowed from a business.
All these 5 stars reviews are either fake or they are friends/families. they serve us cold pita bread as an appetizer. Portion were very small, the plater that should serve four people was only enough for one person. Staff was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. They should be not be running a restaurant business. Over all the service was not good. I wish there was an option of zero star rating. very bad experience. Waste of time and money.
Best Afghan food!
Good food. I ordered the boneless chicken and salmon kebabs. It was what I expected thankfully since I’m a Kabul Kebab veteran.
Had lunch here the other day. Food, Staff, and restaurant were all top notch!
There is good reason the New York Times raved about the Afghan Grill. Dinner for three with appetizers, salads and desert cost $100 , which included a generous tip. Even at double the price it would be a bargain. Service was spot on and extremely friendly and professional. The salmon was perfectly prepared and the rice that it came with delicious . My vegetarian dining partners both raved about the pumpkin, eggplant, hummus and several appetizers , as well as the nice variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes. What is really terrific is that the meal was also healthy. I enjoyed it so much I plan to go back next week.
The food was amazing, ice cream was yummy. Would recommend for sure
A favorite restaurant of mine - however weve only done take-out so far. Food is tasty, not too salty, meats are tender. Portions are generous & we get several meals from an order. We highly recommend.
We recently tried the food here. We bought some spinach and couple of different stews. Also a mixed kabob platter which included all three types of meat with rice(carrots&raisins). Came with small tray of salad. Nice presentation. The entire order tasted very good.was very pleased. Definitely going to visit them again.
Steak and chicken combo over rice was delicious. Definitely recommend checking this one out. They have been around for a while now and every time it satisfies.
Food wasn’t the expected Afghani Cuisine someone would want. They DO NOT have Afghani Bread which is a Afghan Cuisine Essential, instead we were served regular Pita bread as a substitute. We asked for extra white sauce and were told that it’ll cost extra(mind you we’re dining in).If you’re in for a Afghani/Persian Cuisine, make a 5min Detour & to go Miraj Healthy Grill. IT IS SO MUCH MORE WORTH IT! BELIEVE ME!
Amazing place, we are loyal recurrent patrons. The lamb is always succulent, the rice is tender and flavorful, a lot of great vegetarian AND meat-eater choices.The owners are super sweet and make you feel right at home.This place is super cozy, romantic, and the portions are VERY generous.
I used to dine here a lot but the food has definitely downgraded. The staff is very nice and accommodating, a very nice family business. But the food really needs to be better and is very overpriced. The rice and kebabs are lacking taste. The food was very bland during my few trips there for about a year now. I love the people who own the place and manage it, they are very nice but please add some flavor to the rice and kebabs!
It is truly one the best authentic Afghan food in Long Island! Angela and her family are always kind and have kept standards up over the years. The kobidehs and qabili rice is the best!
Friendly staff, clean. Food was fresh and authentic Afghan cuisine. Reasonable price. Great to enjoy with family and friends.
Excellent service, friendly owners and staffSabrina you are the best.Spice up your food little bit, but still delicious.
Amazing Family... Awesome Food... Authentic! Great for take out or a quiet date!
The food was good, but I never got any water. Then, when I asked for a cup of water they said bottled water only, implying I would need to pay for h2o. No thanks. Why would I come back?
The restaurant is family run and has a small, cozy atmosphere with great food and service. Their stews and kebabs are superb served with ample amounts of rice. I love to finish with their delicious aromatic tea. I would recommend this place to all those who enjoy good middle eastern food.
Delicious food! Our favorite is the chicken kebab with rice and their beef eggplant stew! We usually order combination kebab with stew. Comes with plenty of rice and salad. We love it with the green sauce on the side. Unfortunately we dont order from them as often any more because they have really gone up each year in price! But for a special occasion, its definitely worth trying!
We had the combination for 2 it was tastey!
Nice clean restaurant with good food BUT their staff definitely needs proper training to ensure their customers return and recommend them to family or friends.They served kabobs and didnt place knife on the table to eat it. When we asked for a knife, much to our surprise, the waiter brought a chef knife. I surprisingly asked what is this? He stupidly replied, is it too sharp? Meanwhile two other waiters came to enjoy joke of the evening. They laughed instead of saying sorry. He then came with the correct knife and said sorry. The food was good but after this rude service I didnt enjoy it at all. My husband checked his statement 3 days later and noticed that they had added an extra $1 to the tip. May be it was a mistake but dining here this time was not a pleasant experience.
AMAZING !!! Try it you’ll be hooked. My son started going here a few years ago with his buddies. Then introduced it to us .... and now our family is hooked. Fresh made everything all the time. I LOVE this place so much that I dream about the basmati rice and white yogurt sauce..can’t say enough about this place. !!
I ordered the lamb shank, it looked nothing like the photo on the website. It was all bone with a little bit of meat on the end.
I had heard this spot was good. Went on a Thursday. The appetizers were very small and the pita bread was cold. For dinner got the two kebab combo. Chose the lamb and steak. The food cameand it tasted absolutely terrible... the steak had no flavor to it. It tastes literally like they took it out the freezer and just placed it on the grill. The lamb kebabs had no flavor as well and were hard as rock. Terrible experience. Would not recommend. Waitress was nice though.
We had a gift certificate, When we arrived it was empty but we still had to wait. Ar that point we decided to order to go. While wailing we had a nice conversation with the person who took the order. It was a long wait but I considered that a sign the food was freshly made, Not sure it was. The food was less than good, average at best.The decor needs improvement to reflect a feeling of a Afghan restaurant, The good reviews may be a sign of more acceptance of mediocre dining. As for now pass up the Afghan Grill to let them it needs to improve.,
Mist delicious food. with my family i love eating afghan food. we live in long island but always go to main street. we passed by one day and figured to give it a try one day. the finally got here and we were blown away. must try the lamb shank super soft and amazing, also the eggplant and lamb was delicious as well. we definitely recommend this place. not only is the food great, the service was perfect and the owner is very friendly.
We went for small party , overly priced, only one waitress for the whole restaurant. They billed and presented food which we never ordered gave lot of rice and chicken curry , just to charge more. kabbabs are dry . No fresh bread, Said bread maker is off today. waiting for ten minutes to get a glass of water. total waste of $450.00 . Overly overly priced. so much plain rice left to carry back without any souses. Dont waste your money to go there. Complete waste. i will not even give 0 star and never go back.we have medical office in vicinity and thought that we will order food for medical reps . not any more.
Excellent taste good small restaurant but very nice.
The Afghan grills food is delicious and not overly spicy. I do not like food that is so spicy the heat hides all other flavors., but here the the spice level is perfect. Everything I have sampled here has been delicious. Lovely inside for a quiet lunch or dinner.
Kidney Beans was a great vegetarian meal. Most main course dishes come with rice and salad. The only issue is there is way too much rice. They could probably get away with half of the amount they serve. Also got the salmon which has great flavor.
Fresh! Excellent food! Great Service! Good Price!

I love this place, very peaceful and quiet, the food is delicious and very authentic, its one of those places you can bring the family or have an important business dinner if needed. Omar ( The Owner ) is very welcoming and charming with his perfect smile and will treat you like royalty, if you come to eat here, ask for him he is simply the best. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and pleasant accommodations.
Food was very good. Just the service was not satisfying but its probably cause there was only one person doing everything.
One of my favorite places in the NYC area. I frequently come out here from Brooklyn. The food is excellent and the owners are really nice. I highly recommend the salmon kabobs.
Beautiful and very peaceful environment with excellent dining, staff was very friendly and helping
Absolutely the worst, downgrading and insulting customer service. They need to remove NY Times article from their Window as this article attracts clients but the reality is so far from any USA standards of SANE customer service. We might dealt with the same waiter that previous reviewer was writing about. First of all, we entered the restaurant and a lady told us from the long distance to come and sit, she was even lazy to walk and admit the customers. She disappeared and forgot that we exist. We waited for almost 15-20 minutes just for someone to take our order. The new waiter was a younger man with beard. My husband told him about ignoring the customers for so long and he got the following response from the waiter: “They are very busy because they have a very big catering order and they should have been kept the door closed. Question: If you are so busy with outside catering order and don’t want the customers than why you kept the door open? ?? As per waiter: They do NOT have KID’S menu. I assume they are NOT child friendly restaurant. Be open and write about NO kids menu on your window instead of putting NY Times article there. People with smaller kids, Please be aware!!!! FINALLY, We did NOT take any food and left, when we were leaving the waiter went outside and said F-swearing word in front of my 4 year old child. F-word in front of my 4 year old child and us, this is the DISGRACE in its highest form. Hopefully, I will have more time to file complaints with some consumer protection authorities and this Disgrace restaurant should STOP their insulting practices or close their doors.
My favorite restaurant! Authentic and delicious food and the service is amazing. Highly recommend the brown rice with kabob and white sauce.
My favorite restaurant for Middle Eastern food. The family that owns this place is so friendly and really knows how to cook. Each dish is absolutely delicious. I recommend the chicken kobideh and their lamb chops.
I have been eating at the Afghan Grill for over eight years. Within that time I have always had an excellent experience. The food is ALWAYS delicious, and consistent. It is my entrie families favorite place to eat and the staff are the nicest and most welcoming people. I always recommend this place to everyone because I know they will not be diaapponted.
Very poor quality of food and service. I ordered Dinner for 2, in this package 2kabab and a vegetarian/ stew. They didn’t give me stew. I was in rush and I also didn’t check.Food doesn’t taste good enough
The service here was amazing! I came here for Fathers day and the rice and kabobs were delicious. The really sweet waitress gave my sister and I pudding and homemade ice cream. Coming here again!
This place is great. I always have the chicken shish kebab with basmati rice. They serve a salad with a great dressing. The service is great. The best concept is the BYOB.
It was great. Love to go there. The owner is very polite. The food is delicious. Service is great. And prise is right.
Excellent food and service. Prices are fair and weve been going here since they open 13 years ago. Try it.
The food is constantly fresh and yummy, workers gives awesome customer service. I really like how clean it is and character. Keep up the good work.
We went yesterday ( Saturday night) at Afghan grill, they didn’t serve us fresh grilled kabob it was microwave, looks shrinked . Chicken and lamb kabob was so much dry, in salad bowl there was water in bottom. Even their lamb chops was dry. I would not recommend this restaurant, usually restaurants have fresh food in weekends such a disappointment.
Their food is not good has no flavor nothing like Afghan food. The kabab is so dry and salty the rice has no taste. I won’t recommend 👎
A nice clean restaurant with waiters/waitresses dressed neatly. We had sambosa, lamb shank with kabuli pulaw, and Kabob Kobideh, all very delicious and plentiful with prices comparable to other decent Afghan restaurants. Street parking availability, close to many of the major Indian markets, will definitely be coming back.
Food is amazing! Always so fresh and just delicious. Its a cute little dining area. Staff is friendly and prompt.
The food is some of the best I have ever tasted. The owner and his son Omar treated us with the best hospitality. I will definitely eat there again.
A kind of mix of South Asian & Middle Eastern cuisines resulting in, as youd expect, very rich flavors. Friendly service. Ill gladly go back.
The worst food ever. And the staff they have are highly trained in stealing. They steal money from your card.theyll right tip by themselves and charge you even though you dont want to give them for the discusting food and bad services. The rudest staff ever. Stay away from these theives....
Happy valentines day. My boyfriend brought me here for dinner tonight. In fact I am typing while we are having dsesert. Our server, Omar, was great & even assisted me in making my order which was delicious. I ordered the #1 appetizer which was eggplant & my boyfriend ordered the dumplings, both were great. For the entre my boyfriend ordered the steak kebab meal & I ordered the lamb pattie kebab meal. Both meals were amazing, (although I couldnt keep my fork of oh his plate). To end the night we had the home-made ice cream that had a fruity pebble taste to it. Overall great service & food, will definitely be back for more.
The food is excellent. Their hummus is amazing. We usually get the dinner for two and it suffices for three of us. The servers are always attentive.
Doesn’t taste Afghan at all. Pretty bland . There’s no taste to the meat. A Total waste of time and money . Very sketchy waiter . They just don’t want to be there .
Best Afghan Food in America and the Most amazing Staff. I would give it 10 stars if I could; go here everyday for lunch (and dinner if I could !! ). Definitely coming back !!!!!
This spot is worth giving a shot. They serve large portions for convenient prices. Constantly well organized and with awesome character. Highly recommended.
Very good middle Eastern food!! The waiter was really helpful in helping me decide what to eat. Everyone was really pleasant and they threw in an ice cream on top 🤗
Me and my family have been coming here for years very clean and extremely sweet hospitable people.The food is delicious especially the chicken kebab so juicy and tender.
Excellent kabobs and some great appetizers. Also we love that we can bring our own wine. The service is very nice and warm.
Over priced, the waitress ( who we thought was also the owner or partner) added stuff to our order.. ended up paying toooo much money for the food served ... only one waitress to serve like 30 people in the entire dining hall.. no naan were served -- no green tea afterwards..very disappointed .. people who gave them good reviews probably never been to a good restaurant ...
I was very impressed with the food. I highly recommend it. Prices were reasonable and staff was awesome.
Very pleasant neighborhood and family run restaurant with friendly service and reliable and interesting food.
Food was good and service was ok
We were there after some time because of COVID-19 but the food was great and delicious like always.
This place is absolutely DELICIOUS! I got the lamb Gormeh Subzi and it was seasoned perfectly. It reminded me of a slow cooked, delicious meal that Mom would make. Beautiful!
Everything was excellent! Good service. Great food. Will undoubtedly be back.
Excellent food and great service. Everything tasted very fresh, highly recommend.
I have been coming to Afghan grill for over 12 years and will continue for many more. The side dishes are a great accompaniment two delicious shish kebab combinations.

Food was good. But the service wasnt too good
Great food, and the staff makes for a memorable experiences. Must try their homemade ice cream and pudding.
Great food but staff wasnt friendly. I expect better service when paying for food this pricy.
Normally afgani restaurant has nice bread/nan or so meny bread type but this restaurant i couldnt get any .waiter not smiling attitudes or helpful. Food are ok.
Terrible service, rude waiter, after 1 hour 30 minutes waiter comes from kitchen and tells us the order we placed is not available...would not give this place even 1 star...
Good food but had slow service. Also a very disturbing smell in the dining hall
Excellent food and affordable prices within the new Hyde park area. Definitely try the family pack
When a restaurant remind you of your grandmother’s cooking, you know the food is delicious
Nice and clean, very good staff, and very fresh and delicious food.
Love Love Love this place. When I go, I bring my own bottle of 🍷 wine. They dont serve liquor there.

2022-04-01Let’s start with appetizers and then move onto to main course to a perfect plate. Tonight’s dinner at Afghan Grill @ Hillside was amazing. The #Manto and Chicken #Kebab was cooked to perfection😘🙌🏽. Tender, juicy. The yogurt sauce was too good. I asked for recipe 🤣but the waitress wasn’t willing to share. A family friendly place for satisfying meal. Will be back.The bill came around $90.00 w/o tip for 4 people. Used my Venture X card, forgot to take the Wells Fargo dinning card for 3% cash back.

2022-05-04Now Im not am Afghan food expert but if youre looking for a flavor blast in your taste buds - this is a great spot for it!The sambosa was crispy and filled with an excellently seasoned ground beef and veggies. The green sauce also added tons of flavor (I believe this sauce is cilantro-based).The tikka lamb kebab was fantastic. The meat was juicy, grilled, and seasoned. The rice was also very soft and tasty.I will definitely be returning to try other menu items!
Review №3
2022-02-13I ordered 2 chicken kebabs, one with qabili and another with zereshk. The rice was pretty good and they gave more than enough sauce but the chicken was a little less than I expected. It came with nice fresh salad. My critique is the bread was just a flat pita bread and not the traditional afghan bread I am accustomed to. The staff was very friendly and the firni (rice pudding) was good.

2022-03-06Worst dining experience ever.if I could give it zero stars I could.1 hour wait.when I asked after 1 hour how long it would take the waitress replied this is not a fast food restaurant.extremely rude staff.Food even worst.very salty.a bunch of onions on a plate with rice and kabab.worst dining experience,I repeat.

2022-07-17Im not an afghan food expert by any means but this was bomb authentic afghan food for cheap prices. the waitress (who might be the owners wife?) was super super sweet and welcoming. definitely come here!

2022-06-14This is the best restaurant in the area, youll be attended by owners, theyre friendly and promptly to help you, the food very tasty and fresh they have no precooked food, Cooke at that moment. Highly recommend this place, simple the best!!!
Review №7
2022-06-05Good food as expected but meat was over cooked and hard.Confusing menus.Ordering for group or family trays are super confusing and can be pricey. If you chose food for seven and get any Kabab item that is not ground meet, they will give you one skewer. Otherwise 2 skewers for ground meet.

2020-10-26I have been coming here for over 10 years - the quality is always high, even during the pandemic - Angela is the owner and she always makes sure everything is fresh and that we are satisfied - it is BYOB and the food is always delicious
