This restaurant has a solid reputation, and it shows. The staff is highly attentive and professional, and the drinks and cocktails are quite good. The service is exceptional. However, the food is somewhat inconsistent. While some menu items are outstanding, others lack seasoning and spice, possibly to cater to local preferences. Kebabs, which can be tricky to perfect, sometimes end up overcooked, resulting in tougher chicken and beef cuts. Overall, it’s a great spot for a group dinner, thanks to the lively atmosphere, excellent service, and reasonably priced food for the area. That said, there are several other notable Middle Eastern restaurants in Connecticut that offer a stronger emphasis...
This was my time trying Afghanistan cuisine. The place is lovely! Decor is beautiful , with rugs and beautiful paintings it was very palatial . To my surprise, they had a great bar cocktail was amazing! I had pomegranate martini ! Food was so good. Hummus was smooth and creamy! Falafel wrap was served with housemade sauce probably green Chilli) it was delicious. Chicken kabab was juicy and well cooked as per my husband. Eggplant and pumpkin side was so fresh! They also serve Turkish coffee.. we ended our meal with that! Would come back again and definitely recommend! How did I forget to mention potato pawkawra that was the star!
This was the perfect place for our book club dinner meeting. The ambience was warm and the room was not noisy. Everyone enjoyed their food immensely. The salmon kabobs were generous portions, the best salmon I've ever had, wonderfully spiced and moist. Two people had margaritas that they raved about. Everyone was happy with their meal and the service.
The restaurant is charming. I was pleasantly surprised by their excellent bar—my cocktail, a pomegranate martini, was amazing! The food was delicious as well. They also serve Turkish coffee, which we enjoyed after our meal. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

I have been to Shish Kebab House of Afghanistan 2 times. It has been great experience with food. Everything we ordered was great and tasted really good. Highly recommended. Service is little slow but I think food does compensate for it.
Delicious food, great ambiance, amazing staff and excellent service. Food quantity was really great and food taste was amazing. Really enjoyed having dinner here and can’t wait to come back again.
We went out with our 3 kids. It was great. Good food, good service. The place was fairly empty for a Friday night. Hope more people discover and visit it. We are definitely coming back!
Cool spot for a drink. The bar isn't huge, but the atmosphere, lighting, and decor are a nice change relative to other bars. The drinks were solid too.

I recommend trying the Afghan House for dinner; it's a great way to sample a little bit of everything on the menu!
