Bamiyan Kabob

This was a recommendation from a Pakistani cab driver--an Afghan restaurant called Bamiyan Kabob. There are several locations--this one is at 62 Overlea Blvd.

The place looks like a standard fast-food restaurant in a strip mall, but it's adorned with posters of classic images of Afghanistan. It's a busy place at dinner time, with people lining up. 

The grilled lamb was wonderful--super tasty with a strong marinade flavour. The kofta kebab was pretty good--spiced ground beef. 


Right next to Crescent Dental Health Clinic.

Lamb kabob is amazing, served with salad and yummy rice with some spice and cinnamon.
Kofta kebab, similar to an Iranian koobideh kebab
Naan bread--not as fluffy as the Pakistani/Indian variety, but it has those nice black seeds you get in Arabic twist cheese.
