Really enjoyed the Bolani (bread stuffed with spiced potatoes) with the sauces. The sauces at the table - green and red - were incredible. Nothing like I've had before. The Bolani is a huuuuge serving - you can eat it as a main course. Then we ordered curry and rice. I had red bean curry with rice and my partner had chicken curry with rice: both were good, not stellar. My favorite part about the restaurant was sitting in the area where the seats are on the floor! It felt homely and enjoyable. Service was friendly and fast. Parking in the plaza is tight but not impossible. There's an ice cream store next door called Nirvanah which serves good ice cream. I am deducting one star because I was not a fan of the containers they use for take out - they use Styrofoam containers. This material is a known hazard for health and environment and I don't support places that use them. So it feels like this will be my first and last time visiting them unless they explore other more environmentally friendly to-go containers.

There is a large Afghan population in Fremont, and I was told to try one of their restaurants. I opted for DeAfghanan Cuisine, the most popular Afghan restaurant on Yelp. This restaurant did not disappoint, and I am glad it was my first experience with Afghan cuisine because I'd definitely add Afghan dishes to my list of go-to foods. It seems like there are two locations for this restaurant right next to each other. One is for takeout, and the other is for dining in. The dine-in restaurant seems unnoticeable at first because the exterior façade doesn't look like a restaurant. However, as soon as you open the heavy doors, you'll see a fully operating restaurant with lots of customers. I ordered one of their bolanis (I forgot which one) and the combination kabob specialty. The bolani is HUGE. At first, I wondered why it was priced so high, but the serving size definitely feeds 3-4 people. The combination kabob was a great choice because I couldn't decide which kabob I wanted. My favorite had to be the chicken, but all the kabobs were very flavorful. I opted for the Afghan brown rice, which is actually white rice but seasoned. This restaurant has excellent customer service. We asked for further details on the menu, and the waiter helped us decide on the dishes to order. I definitely recommend this place!

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. De Afghanan Cuisine is a full service restaurant. Parking is available next to the restaurant or on surface streets in front or behind the restaurant. The area next to the restaurant is definitely showing its age with more cars with expired registration stickers along with abandoned buildings. Dining is available indoors or on the patio featuring an ATM on the "porch". Entrances to the restaurant can be from the front door on via the back door next to the restaurant. Started off with the leek bolani and it was fantastic and huge. The pancake was filled with flavorful and juicy leeks and came with a cup of yogurt for dipping. The mantu was also tasty with ground meet and onions wrapped and topped off with some yogurt sauce. Opted for the chapli plate with brown rice as a main and it was also gigantic. The brown rice was a seasoned rice which was very flavorful. $32/head after tax and gratuity with tons of leftovers. There is a 3% credit card fee and tipping options start at 15% after tax...
