Afghan Cuisine Restaurant - Afghan restaurant in Champaign - 723 S Neil St Ste 101, USA

Looks like a family owned restaurant. Severely understaffed. We waited 1 hour for the food to come which is unfortunate. Wish they hire more people in the future. Around 20-30 dollars per person. I like the dish and how they taste like overall. Taste pretty authentic to me and rich flavors. Wish they hire more people I was just sitting there and starving. The food is good.

This was my second time to dine in this place. We liked the food. The place is very specious and quiet. The service may take long sometimes due to crowed and number of staff. Their "Mantu" is delicious. I also recommend the Morgh Kebab. I was not sure about their Kabuli Pulaw, it wasn't as expected. They need to look into the portion of the side such as chutney, it was very little!!.

I got this chicken morgh. I came here after the gym super hungry thinking of getting some chicken for protein. The prices startled me at first but I thought the portion sizes were probably large so I was like whatever. I come home and open my bag and was absolutely disappointed. For 20 something dollars after tax, I got a whole container filled with rice with only 5 small pieces of chicken. This is a rip off and absolutely ridiculous. Super disappointed. Just look at my plate and tell me it doesn’t look ridiculous for $20.

Take out twice. Bolani is basically fry bread w nice potato chive filling. Chutney tasty, wish there was more. Kabuli Pulaw I ordered for the rice which based on menu description was the only one to include carrots raisins pistachios and almonds. All of their rice includes this addition. Best tasting rice, like the best ever Rice-a-roni. Mantu/dumplings are incredibly rich and complex, liked the tomato lentils the best. Beef filling is plentiful and multiple spices, lips tingling after meal. Got 2 full meals from rice n dumplings. Not cheap but incredibly interesting food.

I have been craving Bolani ever since the first time I had it in 2012. So, as soon as I saw it on the menu, I knew I had to go here. The food is outstanding! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!!

Wonderful, complex flavors in the spices (with just a bit of heat) in every dish we tried — the Bolani stuffed pastry, the Mantu dumplings, and my Borani Banjan eggplant. Delicious, and a welcome addition to CU!

Amazing homemade food! Delicious flavors .. I can't wait to go back ASAP. It seems like they just opened recently so will benefit from more decorations and photos showing the beauty of the country and people and foods of Afghanistan. Could also add more drink options. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The food was EXCELLENT! The restaurant was amazing and comfortable. I loved the whole place - very calm and relaxing. It was our first time having afghan food, and it was NOT a disappointment. The flavors were impeccable, the food was hot and filling, the bread served with the food was amazing. The chutney was PERFECT - flavorful and a little spicy. We will absolutely be back to order more from the menu! Also, the service was impeccable !
