Kabul is my first Afghan dining experience, and I must say it was a good one. Kabul is a small restaurant with a GREAT atmosphere, with live music and a large assortment of beer. The food was also very intriguing, similar to Indian cuisine. The worst part of the restaurant was the menus, which were a little bit confusing. Price range is around $15 - $20.

Kabul is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. I recommend it to people all the time. It was was one of the few restaurants I took my dad to when he visited. It is expensive, but not prohibitively so for an occasional treat. Expect to spend 20-25 per person. You should probably bring a few people with you so you can try some various dishes. I've had pretty much everything and it's all great. The rice is simply perfect and comes with every meal. They put raisins in it, which sounds absurd, but it is one of the best features of the meal. All of the meat is tender and the vegetables are a treat. Every single bite is full of unique and wonderful spices and flavors. Just go.

I never gave Afghanistan food much thought until I tried Kabul Afghan. I was pleasantly surprised. The good is wonderful and actually healthy. The salads are made with a very light dressing. It is wonderful. And the chicken just lightly spiced and grilled. Too bad there were not more restaurants around Seattle like this.

One of my favorite restaurants! It's rare to find a restaurant with Afghan cooking, and rare to find ANY restaurant with food this good. I especially like the use of mint, dill and yogurt flavors in the cooking. The "dogh" yogurt drinks are good - sort of like a salty lassi. The eggplant entree is also excellent - cooked with yogurt and tomato paste. The prices are moderately high, but considering the quality and flavor it's well worth it if you can afford it. The atmosphere is nice here, too, with live sitar playing some evenings. I've never taken a friend here who wasn't pleasantly surprised by this place!
