Hello, we are Sansom Kabob House. A local Afghan restaurant bringing authentic Afghan cuisine from the core of Afghanistan. We originally opened on October 2nd, 2002. We were on 1526 Sansom St. for 14 years and then moved to 1300 South St. We create gourmet Afghan food that you can find in Afghanistan or here at our Philadelphia location. We have mouthwatering flavors starting from our bread to our kabobs. Our bread's recipe and technique have been passed down from the founder's great-great-grandfather, who owned an array of bakeries and managed many restaurants in Kabul. Passed through generations to our chef, who brought delicious meals to 15th and Sansom of Philadelphia. Then from 15th and Sansom to 1300 South St. We have delectable food that you fall in love with and will bring comfort to you, from our meat lovers to our vegans. We do reservations, groups, take-out, delivery, catering, waiter service, and maintain a great family environment.

    I love it here because the service is kind, friendly, and prompt. The drinks are extremely strong, so just be aware of that. I like that you can order your drinks as “half” to have a lower amount of alcohol. I highly recommend everything on the menu, but the avocado toast had stellar bacon. I think the double chorizo burger is a good starting point for anyone who’s skeptical about vegan food. It’s to die for!

    Celebrating Eid here was the best choice! I ordered the kadu, qabili palaw, and firni for dessert. I’ve eaten my fair share of lamb and rice, but nothing compares to how delicious this meal was. Going from the warm, slightly sweet pumpkin to the flavorful and tender lamb (plus the carrots, raisins, and almonds were great touches of texture!), then ending with the cool and sweet milk was such a pleasant transition of food. I walked away happy and full, and what better result is there than that! I waited maybe 15 to 20 minutes for my food, but I’m not one to keep track of that stuff. There were two waitresses who allowed me the time and space to enjoy my meal with minimal interruption. I will certainly be back.
