We are here tonight with a group of five. It was just fantastic. There was a buffet, so we got to try a lot of different dishes. The food was extremely good, with really wonderful flavor. It was clearly prepared with a motif of care and skill, and I enjoyed everything.

The atmosphere is very casual and easy going. Felt homey and welcoming.

Don’t come expecting fancy, but if you are looking for a wonderful in a comfortable setting, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Places like this are what make living here great.

I do food deliveries regularly and often pick up orders from this Afghan restaurant. From day one, every staff member has been extremely kind, respectful, and welcoming. They are always organized and make sure orders are ready on time, which makes a big difference for us drivers.

Today I had an amazing surprise — the owner kindly invited me to have dinner there on the house. I chose the lamb wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with rich, balanced flavors. The bread was fresh, and the toppings complemented the meat perfectly, making the wrap both satisfying and flavorful without feeling heavy.

More than just a great meal, it was a genuine act of generosity that truly meant a lot to me. This is the kind of place that values people — not just customers, but everyone involved.

Highly recommend. Incredible team and amazing food.

I really enjoyed my visit to Kamdish Kabab! The food was fresh and full of authentic Afghan flavor. The Ash soup was especially delicious — warm, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The staff were kind and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Afghan restaurants in Oakland!

I came here for a group iftar. The food was okay, but there were noticeably more vegetarian options than protein options. The dishes were also extremely basic and did not feel like a true reflection of proper Afghan cuisine.

What I didn’t like was that the buffet clearly did not have enough food for the number of people present. The servers kept saying, “It’s coming,” while people were waiting for dishes to be refilled.

The total came out to $27.58 per person for very little food, which felt extremely overpriced for the options provided.

Another issue is that you can’t run a buffet where food is made only as needed during iftar. Restaurants should roughly estimate how much food will be required. People also don’t have much time, since many need to leave for prayers.

Overall, I do not recommend this place for iftar.

Amazing cuisine, super friendly service, and a spacious clean restaurant. All the dishes are great – my favorite is the quabili pallow, an incredibly succulent lamb shank dish buried under delicious rice mixed with carrots and raisins. Their grilled dishes are also special, they use actual charcoal for the best flavor.

I have been coming here for almost a couple of years now and I’m very pleased to say that the service is always excellent. The food quality is very very good by looking at the food you can tell that it’s made out of fresh ingredients and also that that the vibe here is very good. Employees are taking all the safety precautions needed in order to run a great restaurant. The owner here itself is always available in order to make sure that the customer gets the best service and the best food. I came with my coworkers the other day and they service as they always do we were a group group of 20 people and then we just walked in did not made a reservation, but they were super happy to have us be seated and give us an excellent service with and great food. I also come with my family sometimes And when we are in Oakland, we make sure we stop by in this restaurant. They’re open 11 AM to 11 PM every day they also do catering. They also have a buffet sometime. And they also manage private if you would like.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood since 2014 and I can tell you that this is the only place here that makes you feel like you’re right at home, eating delicious homemade food with your family. The flavors are incredible and the family that owns the restaurant are incredible. The only point of caution that I have is that the lamb challow is so big that you can probably split it amongst two people 🙂

Kamdesh Restaurant is an excellent place to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine with rich flavors and traditional taste. The food is freshly prepared, well-seasoned, and truly represents Afghan cooking. From kebabs to rice dishes, everything is flavorful and satisfying.

What really makes this restaurant stand out is the outstanding customer service. Naaz and Umaid provide exceptional service — they are friendly, attentive, and always make guests feel welcome. Their professionalism and positive attitude greatly enhance the dining experience.

If you’re looking for delicious Afghan food with warm hospitality, Kamdesh Restaurant is highly recommended. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a place worth visiting again.
