A great Afghan restaurant in the Little Kabul area (although there isn't much to little Kabul). Service and atmosphere was great but they committed a cardinal sin in afghan cooking--they microwaved the bread!!!! It was terrible. Fesh afghan bread is great but this was rubber and clearly nuked. What a shame because there is an afghan bakery literally in walking... more

They have two sections for seating, regular tables and a section that has low chairs close to the floor. The regular tables are more comfortable to sit at since you're feet aren't cramped. The food here is great, although the Quabili Pallow lamb portions seem to have gotten smaller over the years. My favorite appetizers are the Bolani and the... more

Just back from a great meal at Salang Pass. We initially picked it as a 1/2way spot to meet some friends coming up from the far South Bay - but now I will make the hour drive from our house to eat there again. I had scanned the reviews here and so had a few ideas, but basically encouraged our... more

My wife and I have been to Salang Pass four times now while visiting in the East Bay. The food is good and the portions are huge. An order of Quabili Pallow with an appetizer could probably feed three or more people. My wife and I certainly can't finish it, even though we both love it. I tried the beef... more

I'm afghan visiting from Ohio where we have no Afghan restaurants. While I hit up all the restaurants in Fremont, this is by far the best. Better than home food. I recommend the aushak or mantuu or boloni for appetizers. You can't go wrong with any of the kabobs, and the pumpkin is the best. As far as seafood, I... more

This place is way overrated. We went there expecting a great place, based on reviews, but were very disappointed. The place was not clean, the dumplings were too heavy on leeks and not very interesting. My salad was evidently not washed well enough and had sand. The pumpkin dish had a mushy slimy texture . We like, in general middle... more

I see all these wonderful reviews about this place and I am rather surprised. Although the food is okay and the prices are rather cheap, it is nothing to brag about. I am very familiar with middle eastern/afghan food. The food here is average. The service is bad. I should say that the service is rather disturbing as the owner... more
