Place: Kabul 833 W El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 408-245-4350 Review: http://www.mv-voice.com/morgue/2001_01_19.dine1900.html Description: Kabul has two restaurants. 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 - $4 each. Deserts similarly priced.. [Review by NeilB] Kabuki last attended Kabul in Sunnyvale on January 24th, 2001. 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. Mathilda 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. Transit: The infamous 22 bus, and many others, go up and down El Camino, and offer good access to the Sunnyvale Kabul. By CalTrain, get off at the Sunnyvale train station and walk or bus up to El Camino. If on foot, you will find it vastly more pleasant, and possibly a block or so shorter, to walk over to Hollenbeck via Washington Street, then up Hollenbeck to El Camino. Mathilda works too, but is not at all shady or a particularly pleasant walk. [Directions by NeilB, transit addendum by SRC]
