Best WLM Reviews
First time here. Amazing experience. Obviously off hours so the quiet peaceful dining Ambience was a real treat. Excellent and amazing food. I had the Afghan meatballs with spectacular rice and potatoes. The pudding for dessert with pistachios on top was also truly excellent. This restaurant is very clean and carries a lot of class. Bathrooms were very nice. Convenient location in El Dorado Hills. Parking may be challenging during busy times. Definitely enjoyed the food and overall experience and we'll plan on visiting again one day. Highly recommended.
Bamiyan Afghan restaurant wasn’t as good as I’d hoped it would be. It’s been a few years since I was there last. This time was on a Monday after calling at 7pm to see if I bring my 11 pound dog LuLu. Yes this is a dog friendly establishment so plus 1⭐️. Our party of four were the only customers on this pleasantly cool June evening. Waiter was pleasant but service was subpar since he didn’t return to check on us after our food arrived. If he’d returned we would have ordered more beers! I don’t recall having our water glass refilled. Food is spicy ????️ which pleased me but not my wife who ordered Saffron Shrimp. I had the Combination Shish Kebab and we both had Kabeli Palow Rice and Sautéed Spinach. Rice was delicious. My daughter and her boyfriend each had the Vegetarian Platter Dinner. She like the spicy ????️ flavor but her boyfriend didn’t comment but the look on his face told me he wasn’t a fan. My Shish Kabab was dry and would have benefited from a sauce or something similar. My daughter raved about her food and she’d rate it 5⭐️. My wife would say 2⭐️. Since I’m writing so my 3⭐️ prevails. When leaving we noticed a change of ownership notice taped to the front glass. It was dated April 2023. So it appears the new crew has some rough spots to correct.
This restaurant has changed its name to Capitol Kabob, but nothing else has changed. The food is so so good. I have no idea why it isn't packed every night, but it never is. If you haven't been to this restaurant before, you are missing out. The flavors are incredible and it is run by the nicest family you will ever meet. Everytime someone new comes up to the area, I take them there. The atmosphere is really lovely and the food will keep you coming back.
The food was delicious, well-portioned and we got it very quickly! I was worried when I read some of the reviews, but we decided to try it and I’m so glad we did! The pumpkin purée and little dumplings were definitely the highlight. So good together!
A friend and I wanted something different for lunch, so chose Bamiyan.
The server was pleasant and non-intrusive. He took our order and gave us space and time to enjoy our meal and visit.
I started with the chai tea, which was delicious. It was spicy and creamy, and the perfect temperature.
We enjoyed the hummus appetizer. The hummus itself had a great taste. I would have preferred toasted or grilled pita to accompany it, rather than the thin tortilla wedges. But the hummus was delicious.
We ordered their soup, which had a wonderful flavor.
My friend enjoyed grilled
Chicken kabobs, with saffron rice and eggplant. The chicken was juicy and had a good flavor. The saffron rice was delicious and the eggplant had an interesting and tasty blackened skin, which was a wonderful complement to the creamy texture of the eggplant.
I ordered a saffron rice dish with cinnamon carrots and raisins. It was quite good.
Overall, the atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was clean and the food was quite good. This is a great option for lunch or dinner.
Very nice restaurant with excellent customer service, delicious food, ambiance, and nice decor. The owners Nangela and Mussa were very hospitable. They explained the Saffron farm which they sponsor in Afghanistan called @Silk Road Saffron. Reasonably priced and organic. Will definitely go back when I return to Sacramento and try their other dishes. Highly recommend????
Im not used to making reviews for restaurants, but just needed to vent how downhill this restaurant became. When the new owners took it over about 1.5 years ago, they kept the same menu and it isnt anything what it used to be. Such a shame. The new owners shouldn’t even try to use the same dishes. Also, we tried it again last night to see if it got better. We ordered the hummus. They brought it out to us 2 minutes later and it was ice cold!! They obviously just pre make everything. Who the heck wants ice cold hummus ????
Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant is a wonderful family-owned establishment that truly delivers an exceptional dining experience. The manager, Mousa, is fantastic and goes above and beyond to ensure that all customers are satisfied with their meals.
I must say that this is the best Afghani restaurant I have ever visited in Sacramento. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared, with a wide variety of dishes that are sure to please any palate. And the desserts are simply amazing - be sure to save room for them!
One of the highlights of my visit was the belly dancing performance that they offer on certain nights - it was truly mesmerizing and added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant.
In addition to the fantastic food and entertainment, Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant also sells high-quality saffron that is just as amazing as the food. I highly recommend picking some up to take home!
All in all, I would highly recommend Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and a wonderful experience. Thanks again to Mousa and the rest of the staff for a truly memorable dining experience!
