There has been a bit of construction there the last few months. They have finally posted a sign in the window: Village Kabob Afghan Cuisine No opening date posted, but soda vendor truck was there so I suspect soon! Mon Dec 08 22:02:21 -0800 2008 111267 meatn3 1 4231463 nice! I really, really hope that they have more than just kabobs but have actual afghan specialties like qabili pallaw, mantu, bulanee katchalu, and kadu. yum.

Mon Dec 08 22:52:07 -0800 2008 4231463 111267 meatn3 2 4289885 I passed that place yesterday. I'm hoping falafel and grilled chichen kabobs are NOT on the menu. Real Afghani food? Here? I sure hope so! Fri Jan 02 10:11:27 -0800 2009 4231463 142758 eightlegeddj 1 4431124 Well, the paper is down from the windows, some lights are on...but so far no posted hours or menu. Wed Feb 18 22:12:19 -0800 2009 4231428 111267 meatn3 1 5160472 Drove by yesterday and they are finally open! Wow, that took some time... I'll try to get the hours and hopefully try it soon. Fri Nov 06 06:32:33 -0800 2009 4231428 111267 meatn3 2 5167165 A friend and I ate there last weekend; he had a kabob combo (3 different meats, bread, and a side salad), I had a dish with ground beef, onions, and chickpeas in dumplings, with a yogurt sauce. We were both very happy with our meals. A little more than half of the entrees were kabob dishes. Prices were around $9-14, with generous portions. Several vegetarian side dishes and bread are offered as well. I plan on going back very soon. I asked the man behind the counter about the delay in opening. He said they had been waiting on the cook.
