Kabul Kabab House
Charcoal-forward Afghan kebabs with rice that carries real aroma and flavor.

Notable Picks

$ Downtown Flushing
A high-utility Afghan kitchen built around charcoal-grilled kebabs, fragrant rice, and hearty stews that eat like true comfort food. Order like a regular: one or two signature meat plates for the table, then let the breads and yogurt-forward sides do the balancing.
Must-Try Dishes: Lamb Chops, Barg Kabab, Sambosa
What makes it special: Charcoal-forward Afghan kebabs with rice that carries real aroma and flavor.

Worthy Picks

$$$$ Downtown Flushing
A Uyghur kitchen that’s at its best when you lean into hand-pulled noodle dishes and baked breads—warm, spiced, and built for sharing. Treat it like a “noodles + one skewer plate + one pastry” stop rather than ordering across the entire menu.
Must-Try Dishes: Lamb Laghman (hand-pulled noodles), Samsa, Gosh Nan
What makes it special: Uyghur spice-and-noodle comfort with standout breads and skewers.
$ Downtown Flushing
A Persian-leaning grocery and pantry stop that’s most valuable when you shop like a cook: pick up herbs, spices, and staples, then round it out with ready-to-eat bites on the go. It’s not a restaurant experience—more a neighborhood resource for Middle Eastern ingredients and quick provisions.
Must-Try Dishes: Fresh flatbreads (when available), Prepared deli salads, Persian pantry staples
What makes it special: Middle Eastern pantry staples in a convenient Main St market format.
