The quality of the dishes, the ingredients and the recipes is unquestionable. The dishes were full of flavor but never really spicy (it's really agreeable to find a chef that really knows how to use spices). The accompaniment really brought something to the dish rather than were added haphazardly. The skewers were really well cooked. This restaurant ranks among my personal favourites.The service is professional, attentive and not overbearing which is refreshing. But I wouldn't say they were overly welcoming either.My only concern was the price (if I were more well off, I would certainly eat there more regularly). But the dishes are generous and the quality is worth the extra cost.
My teenage son chose this restaurant for us to try on an overnight stay in Alencon. The staff were very welcoming and provided us with menus in both English and French. The food was outstanding; not overly spicy but full of flavour and beautifully presented. We had pakoras, filo chicken and samboosas to start; followed by kabila agneau (super tender lamb) assiette de bouef and the afghan burger. Portion sizes were big enough that even the teenagers didn't require dessert! The food was not cheap but reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the food served.There is also a children's menu for those travelling with younger families.
This was our first introduction to Afghan cuisine and it was delicious beyond words. For starters we had the chefs salad which had aming other things, eggs, parmezan cheese and little balls of mozzarella, a chicken skewer and a cheese with herbs wrapped in filo pastry. For our main my husband had lamb cutlet and I had Kabilli of lamb. The flavours were supurb, meat was super tender and the vegetable delicous.Try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed.
Having translated the entire menu into English for a friend we settled on some nice option with a nice glass of white for me. The place seems popular with the locals too which is always a good sign.Service was polite, but they seemed a little stretched on the night as it was a little bit slow. They kindly spoke a bit of English when they realised my French was not up to the quick fire speed they were using!

We used alencon as a stop over on the way back to the uk. Looking at trip advisor , a kaboul was listed n2 on trip so we decided to try it in order to avoid bad food like mcd for example ... the waiters , the manager ( or owner) were all very pleasant and polite , the food was great and flavoursome and good sized . The price is good considering the quality . Would definitely come back !
We miss spicy food out here in France and were hankering after a bit of spice so decided to try this Afghan restaurant as it had come so highly recommended! It was stunning! We shared four starters which were delightful and then tried three of the mains - all of them excellent! It's the nicest meal we've had all summer - thanks to all the team at A Kaboul - we'll be back!
The otchi (like a soup) is excellent but be warned it is filling wife had scallops which was very good, We both had the moussaka which was more like a lasagne but would highly recommend it ,we had a carafe of red wine and a soft drink and the bill was under 50 euros ,i am sorry to say the size of the dishes left no room for desserts. Staff very friendly and attentive
We were travelling from Roscoff to Paris and decided to stop in Alencon for lunch. After looking on Tripadviser we booked A Kaboul and were not disappointed. Afghanistan-French cuisine, different and very good, a nice change. Service good easy parking at the location.

Great food , very different . You must go and you will not be disappointed . Nice wake around the old town and to finish the night in a nice restaurant.
Good service, delicious food but we found the drinks a bit on the pricey side. Certainly would recommend and intend going again.
