This is the Sunnyvale one. Kabul serves Afghan cuisine in an atmosphere where the host wears a black bow tie and comes by your table occasionally to sincerely inquire after your comfort. The tablecloths are pink but the rest of "the atmosphere touches" ARE in good taste. The help is pleasant, knowledgeable, and available. This is Ariana's favorite restaurant, one of my top three. Several bay area restaurant reviewers and the friends we have brought there also express definite satisfaction. Nature of the cuisine fits what one would expect based on geography (if China were missing), similarities to Indian, and Burmese are apparent. Most entrees are served with rice. Vegetables of note: Cauliflower, Spinach, Carrot, and Pumpkin. Animals of note: Lamb, Beef, Chicken, and Yogurt. The menu lists four vegetarian entrees out of eighteen total. All four side dishes are vegetarian. Entrees range from $9 to $16 and include salad. Soups and appetizers are $3 each. Deserts around $3. Kabuki last attended Kabul in San Carlos on May 17th; Kabuki has never attended the Sunnyvale Kabul. Directions: Short: Kabul is set back in the corner of a small shopping center on the forner of El Camino and Pastoria/Hollenbeck. By automobile: 101 to Sunnyvale. Mathilde south to El Camino. Turn right at El Camino one light to Hollenbeck. Turn in to the parking lot at the second driveway and park. [review by NeilB] -RichardT
