Kabul Kabab House

Operating in Flushing for several decades, this small, understated eatery serves up beef, chicken, and lamb platters alongside a unique pomegranate-based seasoning to sprinkle over your rice. While the kitchen is known for its hospitality and quick-turnaround catering trays, the dining experience comes with a few quirks. Guests should expect an automatic 18 percent service charge regardless of party size, despite minimal table service, and late-night visits can occasionally bring mixed reports on service. Still, the flavorful meats and house-made baklava keep regulars coming back to the tight dining room.
