Terrible service, horrendous service, awful service

by Sk8terGal at Citysearch

It doesn't matter how good the food is. The service here was terrible. I have never been treated so badly! The waiter was incredibly rude to us. When some people arrived to join us, he shoved menus at them and told them gruffly "The kitchen closes in an hour." When I asked to see a menu, he said "It's going to take a minute!"

The food took forever to arrive. I would never go here again, and I would never let my friends go.

I've had better Afghani food

by roahmed at Citysearch

I went to Afghan Kebab House II after going to the Afghan Kebab house on 9th ave about 10 times, but they are definitely not the same. The food at Afghan Kebab House II was sub-par, and the service was slow. The table next to ours had finished with their meal before we even got our appetizers, and we had came in first. It was hard to get mad at the waiter because he was extremely sweet, but the delay in the food was annoying. The lamb kebabs were good, but their rice was too sweet. Overall, I'd rather go back to the Afghan Kebab House on 9th avenue.

  • Pros: Lamb kebabs
  • Cons: Slow service, very cramped space

Good first time experience

by briank99 at Citysearch

Excellent value. Upbeat service. Very tasty food. Bonus... Its a BYO, and there is a deli on one side and a decent wine shop a block away on the other side. Only downside for the restaurant is that it looks a bit lifeless, almost a delivery-type place from the outside. Inside its charming.
