Tips for a Better Visit

Try Kadai. Pair the mutton kadai with fresh roti; one diner specifically enjoyed the gravy with that combination.

Check Grills. Before settling the bill, check that a mixed-family-grill order includes the listed items and is fully cooked.

The Bottom Line

Al Kabab Al Afghani is a long-running Afghan restaurant in Al Qusais where the main draw is substantial, traditional food rather than a polished tasting-menu experience. Reviews point to Afghani mutton pulao, mixed BBQ, chicken charcoal and mutton kadai as worthwhile orders, with the pulao especially noted for tender meat and well-seasoned rice. Portions are often described as generous, and some meals include useful extras such as naan, soup, salad or raita.

Families have a separate seating area, while traditional majlis seating and an outdoor gazebo with lights and sofa chairs give you different ways to settle in. Delivery is another practical option, with one reviewer reporting that orders arrived on time. The picture is not completely uniform.

Several recent diners praised fresh food, quick service and cleanliness, but others reported incomplete or undercooked mixed-grill orders, disputed billing and service that felt below the restaurant’s earlier standard. Rice has also been called oily, and some customers felt the prices no longer matched the quality. Parking is limited and may not be free in the morning.

Outdoor diners should also know that a review reported flies troubling tables. For something after the meal, Kawa with sweets or sugar-coated almonds gets a specific recommendation.
