Excellent food, friendly owner, don't miss dessert!
It's a shame they're closing. The food is excellent and the owner is super friendly. Definitely don't skip dessert!

Delicious Experience with a Bustling Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was truly delicious from start to finish. We began with appetizers, including crushed eggplant, and concluded with a delightful Firni dessert. The kebab combination plate was a highlight, featuring Badenjan Borani – eggplant sautéed and served with a mildly-spiced tomato-based sauce, topped with yogurt-garlic sauce and sprinkled with mint. This dish was probably our favorite, but everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere was bustling, indicating a full house every night, likely because everyone wants to dine there one more time before they close.

Fond farewell to Kabul
I am saddened to hear the news that Kabul is closing down. My experience at Kabul was a long and positive one. I moved into Wallingford in the 90s and was a regular for five years or more. The food was great, and the atmosphere was also excellent. I still try to copy their dishes at home. Thank you!

Sad to see Kabul's go!
We are sad to hear that Kabul's is closing! We loved everything about our experience at the restaurant. The food was excellent, the ambiance was wonderful, and most of all, we appreciated Wali moving through the dining room and engaging with the customers. Wali, we love you and wish you the best of everything in whatever comes next.

Rude Manager, Salty Food, Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The manager was rude and disrespectful, particularly towards women. When we complained that the fish and chips were extremely salty and burnt, he initially didn't believe us. After tasting it himself, he admitted it was too salty and even mentioned it affected his blood pressure. My friend, who also has high blood pressure, couldn't eat the food. Instead of apologizing, the manager made excuses and later accused my friend of lying to get a discount, despite her paying the full price. This was a very poor customer service experience.

Amazing Food and Service Experience
My experience at this restaurant was beyond amazing, with exceptional food and service. Meeting the owner and his son made our evening one of the best experiences we have ever had in a restaurant. It is by far our best recommendation in the Seattle area.

Amazing Atmosphere and Service, Disappointing Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the atmosphere and service were absolutely amazing, receiving a perfect 5/5 for both, the food was a significant letdown, scoring only a 1/5. The food was expensive and not anywhere as authentic as some other places I've tried. Despite the culinary disappointment, the overall ambiance and the attentiveness of the staff made for a pleasant evening.
