Afghan food

[catwood10]

When I was living in NYC, I used to love a nearby Afghan restaurant. Does anyone know of any in the Bay Area? Especially one that serves pumpkin samusas...

Surprisingly, Walnut Creek has De Afghanan at 1250J Newell St.
It's away from the downtown parking madness. Modern decor but nice and quiet, not a yuppie meet market.

Update - sadly, De Afghanan in Walnut Creek is Closed.

There's a large Afghan community in Fremont and a number of restaurants there.

Helmand is a great Afghan restaurant. Here's a link to their menu:

Helmond - in S.F. on Broadway
Kabul - in Sunnyvale

Not sure about the samusas but they definately serve pumpkin dishes. Both are very good.

Kabul also is in Belmont on El Camino.
