The QABULI PALLAW with lamb was amazing. I enjoyed every bite. I have eaten this dish in many places and I like how this spot doesn't give you the lamb bone and all the fat. You get the meat with rice, carrots and raisins along with 3 sauces and Afghani Naan. 🔥🔥🔥
I look forward to more meals from this place.

Good portion size, great flavors, perfect temp. But for $33+, I would expect more than one LAMB KABOB. I wouldn't order again without coupons since the meat to rice ratio was off. 5/5 otherwise, but yea, if I didn't get the deal, a single kebab equivalent over rice would've cost me probably 40 with tax, tip, fees.

Got a MIXED KABOB PLATTER and shared it with my fiance' -
Beef was a little tough, chicken and shrimp were okay.
The lamb, SIDE OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH and all the sauces were delicious tho.
Meal was pretty good for 2 who don't eat a lot.

Soup was very tasty with the meat sauce. Not too salty. Eggplant was crispy. The veggie sauce enhanced the flavor. I recommend not ordering the crispy eggplant for takeout. It might get soggy when you get home.

Our FAVORITE place for DoorDash. Some places, you get the food and it somehow isn't like the exp in the restraunt. Not Saffr Kitchen.the food is insanely good and it shows up hot and brimming with quality. The LAMB KABOB is wonderful. High-quality meat. Love this place.
