Abas Hamidi Afghan Cuisine - Concord

Good food, good value! Very friendly service. Chicken kabob and sambosas were good, as well as the bolani. Next time I'm in town, I am definitely going to try leek bolani! There is a wait for the food, but I don't mind waiting!

I wanted to like this place, as I love Afghan food and its close by. Unfortunately, the food was way below par. The positive is that its quite cheap, but I rather go elsewhere and get better food. I got the chapli kabob and the quabili pallow. The total, after tax was $25, which is insanely cheap. Their quabili pallow was only $12, while other places its about $20. The meat in both dishes were incredibly dry. It was obviously not cooked to order, nor was it fresh. Their quabili pallow uses chunks of beef, not lamb shank like other places. I would be fine with this, if the meat was tender. But it was so hard and dry, it felt like it must have been heated and reheated multiple times. The chapli was like an overcooked patty, the outside was really charred, on the verge of being burnt. However, it didn't seem like it was cooked recently, tasted like it was cooked a while ago and then reheated. The rice was fresh and fluffy, and the side salad was fine. The piece of bread was soft too. Its just the meat was super dry and reheated too many times. I gave them 2 star instead of 1, simply because the price is way better than other places, but I guess you get what you pay for. Perhaps if you go, don't go on a Saturday...go on Monday when the food might actually be fresh.

Food is outstanding. We have eaten at a number of Afghan restaurants and this is as good as any and better than the others. We continue to order from them when Afghan is the thought for dinner.

This is a mom and pop shop. The food was really good and the portions were huge. It does take them a really long time to prepare the food even if you call in ahead of time.

This family owned dive take out restaurant has excellent food with huge portions at a great price! They have a couple of small tables outside if you are super hungry and just can't wait to get home but it's for sure a takeout spot otherwise. As an afghan American I know good afghan food and this place is definitely legit. Everything on the menu is good so it's all about personal preference chicken vs beef vs lamb. My fav of each are the ground chicken kabob, chapli kabob (sautéed ground beef patties). Each come with a heaping mound of white rice, small salad, and a piece of bread for only $12. I also love the qabuli pallow which is rice with cubes of beef and carrots and raisins mixed in. It is fantastic but more of an acquired taste for folks that aren't familiar. I'm so glad I live close to this place and can get my moms quality home cooking even though she is on the other side of the country!
