Mazaa Kabob House

Mazaa Kabob is the real deal. I have never had kabob this good!

The restaurant is small but well lit, lightly decorated with Afghan themed collages. After arriving around 4:20pm, we were quickly seated. We ordered Teka kabob, and Chocan & chicken kabob. Each order came with rice and a side salad. The quantity of food was surprisingly large considering the low price. But the quality was even better. This may be my first time in an Afghan restaurant, but I have had kabob in many cities. Dryness was in my expectations.

Not in Mazaa Kabob! Teka kabob here is steak cooked like steak. I asked for medium rare, and got some of the most tender steak I have ever had. Chicken was still a little dry, but lamb was also very tender. Rice was flavored lightly, better suited for my taste compared to that in South Asia and Middle East places. I was also surprised by the naan. It appeared to be made of whole wheat, not as puffy as Indian naan. But it was still very soft, and had that special fragrance from whole wheat.

Service was prompt and cordial. The chef even came out several times checking on guests. This is a place I will definitely come back when passing by Tracy again.

Just tried to find a quick bite to eat and am glad I did. Food was fantastic and the staff very friendly. I let the waitress order for me and got a sample plate. All 3 meats were awesome and the price is good.
Definitely recommend.

I wanted to take my younger siblings to a nice lunch before they go back to school and maaaan did this place not disappoint! Upon walking in we were seated immediately our host was a very polite young man who gave us menus and gave us a few minutes to order. We ordered the bolani as an appetizer and got the Chapli (lamb) kabob, the mixed grill combo, and the chicken and shrimp combination platter. We also ordered some sodas (all sodas come with free refills which was nice as a lot of these sit down spots provide refills at a charge. Let me tell you, the food was absolutely delicious! The bolani was flaky, soft, and sumptuous! The lamb was tender and super flavorful! I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the chicken was either grilled or cooked in a tandoor, but it came out tender, super tasty and not dry at all! The teka was super easy to cut through and absolutely delicious! The owner/chef came out and asked all the patrons in the restaurant if we were enjoying the food to multiple resounding yes responses and our waiter constantly checked on us providing napkins, refills, and anything else as needed. I've been to a few Afghani restaurants and this is probably the best one I've been to. 5/5 spot, will definitely be coming back with friends!

Very tasty halal Afghan food. Definitely a must try if you are in the Tracy area! Loved the interior set up and also the way the food is presented.
