The Kabul restaurant is right at the heart of state street where plenty of bars and restaurants are. Since I'd never been to an Afghani restaurant before I decided to have a go. The restaurant was on the second floor. There was a low Afghani...More

Definitely, yes! Eat here! We were visiting Madison mid-week and wanted a healthier choice for dining at a moderate cost. And, we wanted to eat on State Street. We love Middle Eastern cuisine and found Kabul on Trip Advisor. We walked up to the door...More

I had the appetizer platter -- baba ghanooj, hummus, tabouli, sabosas. The baba ghannooj was about the best ever, and the other stuff was very good. Staff was very relaxed. Liked the atmosphere.

Kabul House is a short walk from the Madison Concourse Hotel. A group of us went for dinner whole attending a writer's conference. The food was tasty. The staff was very helpful and the food was great for sharing. Would definitely go again.

Being a rural South Dakota guy I don't get a lot of variety too often, but I do like to try new dishes! That is how I ended up at Kabul with some friends. The menu had many options that sounded good. Food arrived fairly...More
