If you're on the lookout for an authentic taste of Afghan cuisine, look no further than Chopan Kabob, nestled in the heart of San Ramon, CA. This charming eatery at 21314 San Ramon Valley Blvd invites diners into a warm, inviting atmosphere characterized by rich, earthy tones and traditional decor that echoes the vibrant culture of Afghanistan. Whether you're a seasoned Afghan food lover or a curious newcomer, Chopan Kabob promises to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience.

As you peruse the menu, you’ll quickly notice the creativity and care that has gone into crafting each dish. Start your meal off with the unbeatable Bolani—a fried flatbread that comes in two tantalizing variations: the Kachaloo stuffed with a savory mash of potato and herbs, and the Kadu featuring a delightful filling of butternut pumpkin. Pair these with the complementary sauces for a burst of flavor that dances on your palate.

Moving to the heart of the menu, don’t miss out on the Kabuli Pulao—a signature dish that has rightfully garnered rave reviews. Its aromatic rice, laden with spices and paired with tender, marinated chicken or juicy lamb, transports you straight to the bustling markets of Kabul. Customers like Azal Shaikh have described it as “yummy every time,” a testament to the consistent excellence offered here.

And for those in search of rich, hearty meals, the Chicken Karahi and Lamb Karahi are absolute must-tries. Cooked in a spicy karahi sauce and served with naan and a fresh garden salad, these dishes embody comfort and flavor in every bite. According to Sindy S., the grilled shami kebabs served hot are incredibly tasty and truly reflect the warming hospitality of the Afghani culture.

For dessert, indulge in the classic Baklava; its flaky, sugary layers and pistachio filling provide a sweet conclusion to your meal that you won't soon forget. Pair it with some refreshing drinks like Coke or D.Coke to elevate your dining experience.

The service at Chopan Kabob only adds to its allure. The attentive staff, including standout servers like Hassam and Hossam, have earned praise for their knowledge of the menu and genuine care for patrons' dining experiences. Many diners, like Michael Moeini, have expressed admiration for the courteous wait staff who offer excellent recommendations, ensuring a meal tailored to individual tastes.

I can't say enough about my first experience here! The food was absolutely sensational! Taste! Presentation! Ambience! The wait staff was courteous and helpful. As someone who's never had Afghan food like this, the staff helped to identify my tastes and make excellent recommendations. My only regret was that i didn't bring my entire family with me. I will be eating here again. And again. And again. You've just made a lifetime customer!!!

Certainly! Here’s a more engaging and polished version of your review that will impress the store owner: I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible afghan kabob restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing. We called ahead to order Bolani, and I was impressed by how smoothly everything was handled—our order was ready and waiting when we arrived. From the moment we placed our kabob order, it was clear that this restaurant takes pride in its craft. The kabob were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, flavorful, and grilled just right. Every bite was a delight, and the quality of the ingredients truly stood out. One detail that really elevated the experience for me was the sumac shaker on the table. It’s a small touch, but it showed the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and flavor. Without a doubt, this is a 10/10 spot for kabob, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

If you're craving for some delicious Afghan cuisine, CHOPAN KABOB got you! I haven't had Afghan for a few years now, and I don't remember it tasting this yummy. Of course! I had to try their infamous Bolanis, and it did not disappoint. It reminded me of an exotic Chinese onion pancakes with dips. Must try! The grilled shami kebabs were tasty and yummy. The Tandkori chicken came out smoking Hot and sexy! And it was so flavorful and tasty!! The Chicken Karahi had a delicious sauce that was so perfect with the rice. Yes! Bahklava is a must, but the Firni was so light and refreshing like panna cotta.

We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to our waiter, Hassam. He was incredibly attentive, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations and ensured everything came out just right. His warm hospitality and professionalism truly stood out. Thank you, Hassam, for making our meal so enjoyable—we’ll definitely be coming back!

This was an amazing experience even though we enjoyed outstanding service, we hope more people go to Small Family Business and order food. Chopan Kabob had incredible sauce/gravy on their foods. The 3 different items we ordered were wonderfully presented as their taste blew us away. I thought the Lamb Stew over Rice was an incredible value. The Appetizer was beyond delicious
