Chopan Kabob

Amazing food and service! I ordered the Tandoori Fish and it was immaculate. The environment is very cozy and welcoming. I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience! The food at Chopan Kabob is outstanding—every dish is full of authentic flavor and cooked perfectly. The kabobs are incredibly tender, juicy, and seasoned just right, and the rice and sides complement the meal beautifully. You can truly taste the quality and freshness in every bite. The customer service is just as impressive. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about making sure you enjoy your meal. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like you’re being hosted by family. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Afghan food with excellent service, this place is a must-visit. Everything from the food to the hospitality is easily 10/10. I will definitely be coming back and recommending Chopan Kabob to my friends and family!

I just had my first visit to this amazing place, and I can't rate it highly enough—definitely a 10 out of 10! The food here is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. Ms. Farzana and Mr. Jawid were so friendly and made our experience even better. I can't wait to tell my family and friends about it and visit again soon :)

Whether it's your first time there, or you regularly dine in, their 'Combo Plate' is a must have. Comprised of Beef (shami) kabob, steak kabob, and chicken. Perfectly cooked and served with a side of basmati rice and salad. The rice alone deserves an award! The combo plate is one of my absolute favorite dishes on the menu (must have with the different sauces). The wait time is about 15 minutes give or take a few depending on capacity and online orders. It is all worth the wait. Provides both indoor and outdoor seating, parking has never been an issue, and the service is warm and welcoming. My wife and I were regulars here before children. And now, we come as a family of six. 5 stars all around! Enjoy!

The combo plate is so good. High quality and fresh. And no weird pieces of meat. And that naan is so flavorful I lowkey wanted to take a 6 pack home if they offered it.

It's a authentic local cozy Afghan restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Kids friendly in the outside seating. Good for groups and meetup. It's located in a plaza with lots of free parking. We had kitchen and beef kabobs with cumin rice, really tenderly delicious. Dal soup was a bit spicy to me but still refreshing. Will come back for casual eat in or takeout.

OWNER KEEPS WAITERS TIPS IF PAYING ELECTRICALLY. I have been coming here for years, I once heard from the waiters. My family and I have been coming here for the last 10 years or so. I heard from a past waiter that the owner keeps all the tips when customers pay electricity. I ignored it the first time, but when I heard it for the second time, I was extremely disappointed that a owner-operator would do that to its own employees. Many of these employees have families they need to support, and in the restaurant industry tips are extremely important for them. How can a business owner do this to their employees? The food here is great, we have no complaints about that.

Went here over the weekend for a Ramadan Iftaar Buffet in San Ramon. Pakistani ppl were pushing elderly disabled women rushing to get get food at a buffet as if they were starving . Others were calling their family to come cut everyone else that was patiently waiting and also fasting.This was not ADA friendly. The “men” took over the whole prayer section. Didn’t even have the decency to leave the back open for women. There were about a dozen of us hijabis and only 3 of us actually prayed. Idk why women treat hijab as an ornament. The lack of athlaq was disturbing on Ramadan by so called “Muslims.” As far as the service goes, horrible. No hospitality whatsoever. The guy at the register put dates on a napkin w his bare hands then went to grab the pen and handle money out the register. Health department needs to check this place out. There is a transfer of germs. He was also curt. He used plates for some ppl and napkins for others. As far the food, the chapli kabob had good flavor but a little burnt. The naan was good. And samosas were good flavor . The chicken korma was dried out like it had been reheated from days prior. The chicken kabob was also dried out. The qabuli pallow was mushy. The lettuce was wilted. The chaat was not tasty nor the watered down soup that wasn’t even warm. For dessert there was no fruit. Only firni which had good flavor. As for the atmosphere, it was jam packed with tables. You couldn’t even get up without touching the ppl in the table next to you. It is a fire hazard to have it so jam packed. The rude cashier said we had to eat in the back but allowed others that also had the buffet to dine inside even though there were seats still available in the back. I am so glad I experienced this so I know to not ever cater from here or ever book events here. I was looking for a banquet hall. I am grateful I only spent a couple hundred instead of a couple of thousand here. +$30 for a buffet w tip was so not worth it for this experience/food. I thought it was going to be a nice community event where Muslims break fast/pray together. But unfortunately it was greed, rudeness, lack of hospitality and food that was not fresh. I don’t usually write reviews but I rely on truthful reviews and wanted to share my experience to help others.

Another solid go to spot in Concord. I usually order the chicken salad with the beef on the side. Friendly fast service and seems like it's family owned and run!

Was craving for kabobs and found this place through yelp. Glad I did! The kabobs were delicious, we had the 3 meat combo with chicken breast, beef tikka, and beef chaplee. We also had the half and half bolani which was also very good and quite large. Service was great our server was very friendly. The place is small but quite comfortable. Ventilation must be good because despite the open kitchen the cooking fumes don't make it out to the dining area.

This place has earned the title of the best Afghan food in California, especially this location. The service was excellent, and the staff were kind and welcoming. The food was delicious, from the bolani to the chicken, the beef, and the freshly baked bread. If you want great Afghan food, this is the place to be.

My wife and I stopped by Chopan Kabob for lunch on a Saturday around noon and the restaurant was pretty empty. Between the two of us, we shared the bolani kachaloo -- flat-bread stuffed with mashed potato, green onion and herbs, and a combo platter -- opting for the beef shami and the lamb kabob, since the chicken shami was not available at the time. Considering that we were likely the first party to dine in that day and that the kitchen is a pretty small operation, the food took around 25 minutes to prepare. We didn't mind waiting, but if you're in a large group or are in a hurry, you should definitely keep this in mind and plan accordingly. The bolani is fried really well. It's not the crispiest I've ever had, but I attribute that to the steaming potato filling inside. I'm sure air-frying the leftovers will be incredible. The yogurt sauce is such a refreshing contrast to the fried bolani. The proteins from our combo platter were both very juicy. I loved the rich combination of spices used in the meats. We wish we had a chance to try the chicken shami, but otherwise between the lamb kebab and the beef shami, the beef was our preferred of the two. If you ordered the bolani like we did, the proteins both go really well with the yogurt sauce as well. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely stopping by Chopan Kebob again for a meal.

Small, homey place with ~6-7 tables inside and additional seating outside. Greeted and seated as soon as we walked in on a Friday evening. A lot of parking tho the parking lot can be a little tight. Bolani was good, flavorful and peppery with a nice crispy outside. Yogurt it came with was refreshing. 10/10 Chaplee wasn't too spicy, flavorful and had a unique crisp to it 10/10 Beef/chicken kabobs were reeeeally flavorful, not spicy, not dry. Points that our 6 month old was able to eat this with us 10/10 Lamb was lacking which is a bummer because i love lamb. Tho it had good flavor and aroma, it was dry 6/10 Mantu were fresh, good amount of filling 10/10 Overall, prices were reasonable, portions were good size and the service was friendly/quick. Would come back.

Great cute little restaurant perfect to grab lunch or seat there to enjoy your meal in a quite place (no music playing). The food was delicious I got the lamb Chopan and it was tender and juicy, the water was nice and cold very refreshing. The waiter was nice, the restaurant was clean and there's parking right outside.

I found out that the owner keeps the tips that are paid with credit cards. The waiters earn the tips plus the cooks but the owner pockets it! This is NOT a good business practice! This was the second employee that told me, they only get jar tips which is ridiculous! These workers work hard to support their families and should keep the tips but the owner pockets it smh. Very disappointing!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Concord. Their food is so good!!!! Quality meat and they are always friendly and attentive.

I moved away during the pandemic and had to come back to the bay for an appointment today. There's no good Afghan food within 75 miles of where I currently live (greater-Sac). Found myself craving this spot and was so happy I decided to stop here. The service is friendly and the dining room is clean and cozy. The food tasted better than I remember. The beef chaplee and lamb seekh kabab were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chutneys were a delicious compliment. Can't wait to go back!

We had a very nice lunch at Chopan Kabob! We ordered one of the bolani options and the lentil soup. The food was delicious, and the waiter, Nicholas, very friendly. He patiently explained the items on the menu. The place is clean and organized. We will return to this restaurant.

The menu is what you would expect for an afghan kabob shop. Bolani (potato) and eggplant with the chicken kabob was the choice. With a green tea to wash it down. The meal was well prepared and the bolani was nice and crisp with minimal oil. Lots of yogurt dip served with it. The eggplant is served with pita like bread and is enough to share. The kabob plate comes with rice and a green salad. I'm not sure Italian dressing is what you would get in Kabul. But this is Concord CA and so it was. The price is fair. 40 bucks for it all. My wife got a Diet Coke The mural is amazing btw

This is a small but deceivingly spacious Afghani restaurant tucked into a Latin strip mall in Concord. We enjoyed a nice halal dinner here of bhulani, lamb chops, chicken kababs, and rice. They weren't a lot of customers inside, but nonstop online orders, which is always a good sign. The kitchen is small but mighty and will definitely return. Hot, fresh, and authentic. Alhamdulillah!

Excellent food, friendly service, and one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in! A friend discovered it recently and he suggested meeting him there for lunch today. I was VERY pleased and can't say enough good things about this restaurant. It's a hidden gem.

I highly recommend the tandoori fish plate. The fish is delicious it's very moist and flavorful and is prepared when ordered.

This is a cute little restaurant that you can get some fresh food. I've had some Afghan food before and wanted to find some place closer to home. Decided to try Chopan as an option. We got there, and it took about 20 mins to make our order. The chicken tikka masala was okay. I'd probably try another place for that. The potato bolani was good, and the choplee and chicken combo was a little less than expected. I thought it would be a little more for the price, but it tasted good. I think I'll come back and try some other things.

They have they bestest Afghan food in all of Bay Area! Tastes home made & authentic. Amazing every time.

Last minute had to family emergency had to order food for the family. Ordered the family style for like 20 people and the food was ready within 15 minutes. it was so delicious and fresh everybody enjoyed it. It was comfort on a plate. I can't thank the owners enough for making it easy on us.

It's a authentic local cozy Afghan restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Kids friendly in the outside seating. Good for groups and meetup. It's located in a plaza with lots of free parking. We had kitchen and beef kabobs with cumin rice, really tenderly delicious. Dal soup was a bit spicy to me but still refreshing. Will come back for casual eat in or takeout.

Good service and the food is really delicious if your looking for something new to try this cuisine is an amazing place to find different flavours

Chopan Kanob is my new go to place when looking for Afghan food in the area! Everything here is a delicious! Located inside a plaza on Monument, the area is busy but there is usually parking. The employees are very friendly and attentive. Some of the sweetest people I've met! The restaurant has a few tables to dine in and when I came during lunch time, they were busy but I there was space to sit. Now the food is delicious! I came with my coworkers during lunch and we tried a few dishes. Everything was delicious. I had a combo plate that came with the Chaplee Beef Kabob (beef patty) and the Chicken Kabob. The plate came with rice, salad and bread. The meat was very flavorful and absolutely delicious! It's definitely one of the best ones I've tried. I also ordered a side of yogurt to eat with the dish. It complemented the dish very well so that's a must have for me. My friend tried the Mantu, steamed dumpling, with sauce and garlic yogurt and the flavor was extraordinary! The ingredients are good quality, everything tastes freshly made and their flavors are delicious. If you are in the mood for Afghan food, give this place a try!

Hossam is the best server. He was so prompt and hospitable. The food was excellent and the service was 100. I will come back!

Very bad service. I order Bolani over the phone they told me it takes 45 minutes. I drove all the way from San Ramon to Concord. and they forgot about my order waste of time. They need to work on their Customer Service.

Tandoori chicken meal was delicious. Food took a while, and my car was getting new tires while I was eating. There was only 1 other person eating and it took about 20 minutes for the food. It did taste really good though, so I assume it was not pre prepared, hence the longer wait. HOWEVER, what bugged me was I selected this place because there was a Yelp coupon for a free soup with your meal. I enabled the coupon, sat down, ordered and also showed the coupon for the soup and was told they didn't do the free soup coupon anymore. What? Then you folks need to have it removed from your Yelp listing... felt like I got lured in with a false promise.

Great food and good service! Love to support small businesses and this one has good food and a relaxing atmosphere.

This place was a surprise. Had Chapli and Lamb kabobs w/ rice and they were all excellent. Portions were large and price was fair.

My family loves this place! Including my parents and in-laws when they come visit. We always get the request to come here. Delicious, fresh food!

I loved this place! Normally I take a food pictures before start to eat but I completely forgot !! I couldn't stop eating just so good. Special spice and seasoning was tasty. I would come back again

Everything is AMAZING! The chapli kabob my favorite - the mantu is delicious and the Bolani is awesome!! Everything is actually very good!!

Hands down their Kababs were amazing! We ordered their chicken tandoori Kabab and chicken shami Kabab plates and really enjoyed the food. Kinda liked Chicken tandoori a tad more than the other one. We ordered the food on phone to go and food was ready for pick up in around 30 mins. Overall great experience and quick service. They also have decent sitting area for dining in. Will be back to try more of their menu!

Been coming here for years! Staff are lovely, the interior and patio are pleasant to sit in, and the food is always amazing. The meats are delicious and juicy, and the bolani are so flavorful. Everything was a hit, including with my toddler. Our favorite Afghan spot for sure

Just recently had lunch at Chopan Kabob with my buddy here at Chopan Kabob. He has nothing but good praises for this restaurant and to that end, he is mostly right. We came in just under the busy lunch hour and promptly got our orders in. I had the Two Meat Combo with beef shami and chicken kabob. I also got their Personal Bolani as an appetizer. The bolani was very good. It's stated as personal but this can very well be shared by two. The flatbread was crisped to perfection. The chutney, potatoes, and herbs were harmoniously delicious. I also appreciated that this bolani has a little kick (spice) to it. The meat combo meal was stout as well. The chicken was wonderfully marinated and not dry. The shami beef has all the right aromas. Drizzle the whole plate with generous chutney, and the whole dish is delish.

I love the Lamb Tika Kabob dish. The lamb and rice are delicious. Portions are generous

We've enjoyed few meals in the last six months. Every meal has been delicious, fresh with great service ! You'll love authentic food ..

I was on my way to another afghan restaurant until I found out they closed early for the day so I opted for this place and I'm so grateful I stumbled upon this restaurant. I've had authentic Afghan food before but this has got to be the best tasting so far. They were busy being that it was Father's Day so that's my fault but so so DELICIOUS and the service was great and helpful.

Chopan Kabob For lunch today, I was convinced by my family member to have the Kabob. We usually look at the Yelp but only look at the one with the most views. We been to this one before, pretty good experience and the only think is that the meat usually is a little bit dry in my opinion (if I want to be picky) but still good. We order the beef Shami kabob and Lamb Karahi (first time trying and order spicy). This is a small locally own restaurant and you can smell the wonderful meat being grilled while waiting. Sitting area might not be fancy but you won't come here if you are looking for something fancy or romantic any way. Shami seems to be a little dry and the lamb in the Karahi seems a little bit chewy. However, I think that just typical when you pick the meat that's lean w less fat (which is what they are doing). I just like something w little fat. Other than that everything is great. We need to encourage small business and give them five starts. Just the food might be 4.5. The staff members are professional, nice, and did stop by and ask how's everything. Will come back~

Great little spot! Ate on the back patio. Very friendly service, delicious food! Tender and flavorful kabobs. Even the rice was tasty. Got the eggplant appetizer and then the combo plate with chicken and the spiced meat. We will be adding this place to our regular rotation.

I eat at this restaurant on a regular basis, it is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Concord area. My friend and I sat outside yesterday since it was a nice day. It's a small restaurant with maybe 20 seats inside and 20 seats outside. I always over-order when I go to my favorite restaurants, so I can have a few meals even after I leave. My order was as follows: Mango yogurt drink - 16oz, a little too sweet, but not bad for a pre-made bottled drink Dall - maybe I misunderstood what I read but I thought this was a dip that came out with naan. What came out was more like a soup. Great savory flavor and wonderful with the naan dipped into it. Naan - is thicker and heartier than Indian naan. Good earthy flavor but I would recommend getting a soup to pair it with as this style of bread can be a bit dry. I also recommend eating all of it with your meal as it doesn't travel well, unless you have soup to eat at home. Bolani Kachaloo - this is easily my favorite item on their menu. I always order the full size as it gives me an appetizer at the restaurant plus another 1-2 full meals when I get home. It's cooked to a golden brown on either side and the potato filling has a nice flavor to it, spiced but not spicy. It comes with their onion, cucumber yogurt sauce and I also love the green cilantro chutney. Incidentally, I would buy that chutney in bulk if I could. Spicy, sour goodness. Combination Plate 3-Meat combo - I ordered my three favorites, Beef Shami and Chicken Shami and beef choplee. My absolute favorite is the choplee, it's ground meat with spices and onions, cooked to a brown crisp on both sides. The beef and chicken shami has great flavor and texture. On a side note, the beef and chicken kabobs are both good too, they actually know how to fully cook chicken without it being as hard as a hockey puck. The Basmati Rice is always cooked light and fluffy. No baklava this trip but I can vouch that it's legit. I eat here about every 2-3 weeks and I've tried most of their menu items. Stop by and eat here, you will walk away full and satisfied.

Really love this place. We have eaten here twice and both times the quality of food has been amazing. We will definitely be back and it has become something that we crave!

I loveee chopan kabob. My favorite afghan place to eat. The shami kabob plate and the half half bolani plate is my favorite. In the heart of concord monument. Indoor and outdoor seating.

I actually love this food! It's so amazing and new. I really recommend it. The service was also very friendly

Mashallah the food is excellent. It's Ramadan and I was not feeling well today so I missed fast. I was recommended this place and today I happen to stop here. The two combo beef and chicken awesome The service was great and so humble . Exactly what you expect from another Muslim. The restaurant is conveniently located with easy access. The atmosphere is welcoming. Awesome day with great food . Inshallah I will be back again. And may Allah make all you guys Ramadan with ease. Thank you .

Great fresh fare at very reasonable prices. Don't let the exterior give you the wrong impression - this is fine food,

Finally came here to try this restaurant after wanting to for so long. First off, heads up. There is no online ordering system (unless DoorDash...but that's only allowing group orders I think). In order to put in an order, you have to call them. But that was fairly easy on my part. Ordered the three kabob combo and substituted the chicken breast for lamb as well as the mantu. The mantu itself tasted pretty good but the major problem to it is that the wrapping of the dumpling is so wet that once you add more sauce to it, it completely is soggy and the skin breaks. It's a bit of a mess to eat. As for the kabob combo, the lamb was cooked really well and I loved the spice amount they used. The ground beef skewer was also really good too and flavorful. However...the beef tikka kabob was a bit over cooked. It was a bit tough to eat. The spices/flavor were there but it was more cooked medium well to well done in which I usually prefer more medium or medium rare. It's a pretty solid joint but there can definitely be improvements.

I've heard about this for years and finally had the opportunity to check it out. Sad to say but there wasn't anything to run home about. Decent experience. Good service and food was cooked to ordered. Lots of variety to pick from. Went for lunch and there was one other person there and maybe 1-2 door dash pick ups. Probably wouldn't come back.

This cute and cozy place in Concord has one of the best Afghani food that I have ever tasted ( By the way I have tasted many Afghani dishes ) The variety of food The outside atmosphere with beautiful plants and vegetation Great service The reasonable prices Delicious entrees Great appetizers menu Over all fantastic food I ate so much ...... Oh The noon was so good Try this restaurant You would not be disappointed

The place nice and tidy and the lamb karahi is delicious and it comes with side of white rice and some bread. The young man in the front was very courteous and it's my next time after couple of years and I would highly recommend to family and friends

I feel like I've been here before but never wrote a review. Anyway, just like a lot of other restaurants open for delivery/take out. Pretty easy peasy ordering take out, walk up order and pay. I got the 2 meat kebab combo with chicken and beef. The chicken was seasoned well and tender but the beef was tough. The portion was a bit smaller than expected too. But you do get their bread, salad and rice. So it'll fill ya up. Parking isn't a issue being in a plaza. Service was friendly and nice.

What a cute eatery with a beautiful garden patio. I came for the first time with my family and was delighted with the quality of ingredients in the authentic dishes. Daal was fragrant and perfectly seasoned with traditional spices. Chicken kabob was juicy and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. We will return!

This is my togo afghan spot. The food is so flavorful and the staff are so nice! Always so satisfied!
