The Heart of the Table: Qabili Palau

No Afghan meal is complete without Qabili Palau, and Fremont Afghan Kabob prepares it just as it should be—fragrant, savory, and unforgettable. This national dish of Afghanistan is made with long-grain basmati rice layered over tender, slow-cooked halal lamb or chicken. It’s seasoned with a delicate blend of spices and topped with caramelized carrots, raisins, and almonds for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

The rice alone is full of aroma and flavor, with hints of cardamom, cumin, and saffron. But it’s the presentation that truly shines on a family-style platter—generous portions served hot and fresh, made to be passed around and enjoyed together. It’s a comforting, celebratory dish that appeals to everyone at the table.

Kebobs Grilled to Perfection

Accompanying the Qabili Palau are assorted kebobs grilled to perfection over an open flame. We offers a variety of halal options, including:

  • Chicken Kabob – Marinated in yogurt, lemon, and spices, grilled until tender and juicy.
  • Beef Seekh Kabob – Ground beef seasoned with traditional spices and herbs, then skewered and grilled.
  • Lamb Kabob – Cubes of halal lamb marinated overnight for rich, deep flavor.

Each kebab is expertly cooked for the right amount of char on the outside while remaining moist and flavorful inside. Served with a side of saffron rice, they offer bold flavors that pair perfectly with the subtle spices of Qabili Palau.

Perfect for Gatherings

Fremont Afghan Kabob’s family-style platters are ideal for birthdays, family dinners, office parties, or casual weekend outings. The portions are large enough to feed small or large groups, and the menu can be customized to suit dietary needs or preferences. Whether you’re feeding a party of four or fourteen, these platters are designed to satisfy—and impress.

Along with rice and kebabs, platters may also include sides like:

  • Afghan naan
  • Cucumber yogurt dip (chakkah)
  • Salad with house-made dressing
  • Spicy chutney or green sauce
  • Lamb Curry

Gather, Share, Enjoy

In Afghan culture, food is about connection. It’s about bringing people together around a table filled with warmth and generosity. We like to stay true to this spirit with their family-style platters, offering the Bay Area a true taste of Afghan hospitality, and everyone is welcome in our restaurants.
