Kabul House offers a taste of appetizing Afghan dishes that have existed in the history of Afghanistan for thousands of years. Our restaurant emphasizes high quality Afghan food, as if prepared from the fingers of any Afghan mother. Our extensive full course menu includes lamb, seafood, beef & chicken dishes as well as vegetarian specialties that include pumpkin, eggplant, spinach & other fresh vegetable options. Our menu hosts a large variety of selections fit for anyone, from vegetarians to meat lovers alike. In most of our recipes, a limited amount of fresh spices & seasonings are used to season the dish in order to create a sensational taste that is not too overwhelming. This makes our Afghan cuisine very enjoyable for anyone & everyone. The atmosphere we provide for our patrons is one of which would be produced in our homes, relaxing, invitingly warm & unforgettable. We could go on & on claiming how exquisite our foods are, but we invite you to come & taste for yourself.

    The wait staff very helpful w menu items. The samosas are a pass, dry and lacked flavor. The lamb masala and chicken vindaloo were very good w the right amount of heat for us. The coconut creme brûlée was delicious. The restaurant is noisy but we were in a side booth and had no trouble w conversation.

    Everything was full-flavored without being too spicy. Creative and beautiful plating, and all the flavors worked really well together. Generous portions and thoughtful service! If we didn't live a few hours away we'd be back weekly! Easy to find free parking nearby.

    I'm not a big Indian food guy but Mughal has very good food at a reasonable price. Butter Chicken and Saag Paneer are top notch. Garlic Naan the best though it loses its warmth quickly so order one at a time. I've been here with family and friends and they all echo my sentiment. If you like Indian food but have family or friends who are hesitant, bring them to Mughal. They'll be converted.

    I’ve been to some of the best and hardest restaurants to get into in. This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Completely blown away. The flavors were very unique. The spice was perfect. If I’m being picky though the waiter didn’t ask us one time how the food was. Not much conversation. I understand how crazy busy it is but there should be something other than taking our order. He was really nice though. I already made 2 more reservations. 😂
