I had a great experience here! I ordered the Mixed Gyro Plate with lamb and chicken gyro served over Afghani rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing and the portion was very satisfying.

What really stood out was the service — the staff and our waiter were very helpful, polite, and attentive from beginning to end. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

If you’re looking for flavorful food and great service, I definitely recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My experience at Kandahar Restaurant & Lovely Sweets was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The kebabs and rice dishes were especially delicious and full of authentic Afghan taste. The restaurant has a simple but welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable while dining. What made the visit even better was the amazing service from Sahra. She was very kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly attitude really made the experience memorable. If you are looking for authentic Afghan food with great service, this place is definitely worth visiting. I would happily come back again.

9/28/25 Went in on a Sunday for lunch. Good portion for the grilled platter! Meat was soft and tender. Bread was fresh and sauces were also in-house I was told. Vibe was good with lighting and not too noisy. Kheer was a bit disappointing as it was too heavy. I actually paid in advance for firni and was later told they don’t have it so I just took kheer as an alternative that I didn’t want. They should have checked if firni was available before charging me. Overall I think they can do much better with some adjustments like better communication and making the chapli better.

Kandahar Restaurant & Lovely Sweets is a cozy, family-friendly spot that serves up flavorful Afghan dishes alongside a tempting variety of traditional sweets. The Afghan kabobs are juicy and full of flavor along with lip smacking falafels. On top of that, the sweets counter is a treat in itself with their huge selection. What really makes the experience special is the warm ambience and genuinely friendly staffs who greet you with a smile making feel at home. The portions are generous with super fair prices. Whether you’re stopping by for dinner or picking up sweets, you always leave satisfied and looking forward to the next visit! Come check out Kandahar now!

Great food and portion. Waiter was great. Gave my toddler some butter rice that’s not spicy. He didn’t had to but he did. Waitress was super nice. Great meal with family for our Eid outing.

Redecoration gives the space a new sophisticated ambiance. The service is quick and efficient. And the taste is up to the mark, and like the serving per person is more than enough. Highly recommend to visit now
