Maiwand Market

This restaurant has become my weekly stop. The food is amazing and staff is always friendly. There is a grocery and Halal meat store attach to this restaurant, which makes it so convenient to get what I need. Please do try Chapli Kabab and dumplings. Also please call ahead so the food is ready when you get there.

I lived in Santa Clara for 22 years and missed this gem.

The restaurant is part of the Afghan market and it serves regular Afghan food.

Portions were huge.

I ordered a combo Chapli with brown rice and it was enough for two meals.

And I could not resist and ordered potatoes bulani. That portion was so huge it was delivered in large pizza box.

Inside dinning is not allowed, takeout only.

Everything in combo was great. The chicken cubes were well done, Chapli was good.

I still prefer Afghani restaurant in Fremont, but this was good.

A family run diner and afghan market which has been around for many years. Was pleased to chance upon it.

The Chapli kebabs were out of this world - soft and fresh with the right amount of crispiness. Served with white rice and a small piece of afghan bread. I’ve not had such good kebabs even in NYC or Queens.

The afghan pulao was nice - a bit too sweet for my liking but I loved the huge bone of lamb served with it. The meat was tender, flavorful and just falling off the bone.

Both dishes came with a side of nan, salad, yogurt and green chutney. I wish the yogurt was served in a separate container. I think the prices were reasonable. We got takeout so couldn’t enjoy the ambience of the place. But hope to be back soon.

The place is halal. Quick service.

My favorite afghan restaurant in the area. This is a market/Afghani restaurant. The chicken kebab here is among the best in the bay area. They also have a lunch buffet on weekdays. It's really excellent and cheap compared to the other buffets in the area. This is truly a hidden gem.
