Halal Kitchen Cafe

“The owner and chef is exceptional.”

Had a really great experience at Halal Kitchen Cafe. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—everything tasted authentic and comforting. What really stood out though was the service. There’s an elderly Afghani lady there who is incredibly sweet and welcoming. She makes you feel right at home, like you’re being taken care of by family. That kind of warmth is rare and makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again.

I AM AFGHAN AND THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC AFGHAN FOOD IVE HAD IN ALL OF LA! I ordered the potato and leek bolanee. Both were delicious, I always prefer leek over potato but that's my preference both were amazing. I also ordered the mantoo which was cooked to perfection and the afghan rice with lamb shank which is essentially khabuli pualo was also delicious. The lady who was running the spot was the sweetest lady ever she included an extra plate for us the Chapli kabob, which was exceptional! I was not expecting it to be this good!!! the meat was so so tender I thought it

My first experience with Afghani cuisine was a good one! Despite the air conditioning being out, the food and atmosphere were great, and the host was very kind.

Delicious!! We brought our Afghan friends here and it was perfect because we needed halal food. Not only was it Halal, but it was so yummy!! I would give it 5 stars but it was so pricey, I just wish it was slightly cheaper. (They range about $19-22 per a plate) The lady was very friendly and did everything herself! She was so generous and brought out a soup for us to sample because she heard us talking about it (that we wanted to try because a friend said they would make it for us sometime). The decor has lots of cool pics from Afghanistan and one special one of Mecca.
