We were up in Fremont today, where there happens to be an Afghan community and a Little Kabul neighborhood. And the smoky aromas coming out of this quaint little place smelled amazing (37405 Fremont Boulevard, 510-745-9599).
This shop is known for that chaplee kabob above, which was not only spicy but surprisingly salty, in a good way. That gigantic bolani flatbread behind it was pretty cool too; it was stuffed with potatoes and leeks and served with yogurt and cilantro chutney.
I was quite happy with it all; I also had a doogh drink that was filled with so much cucumber that I couldn't finish. It was reminiscent of my favorite Persian food but supercharged. That's quite the opposite of how Bar-B-Q Tonight positioned its Afghani kebab as "non-spicy," although I guess that's relative to Pakistani cuisine.
