NYC--Queens--Jackson Heights: Afghan Kebab & Grill (CLOSED); restaurant review

Afghan Kebab & Grill  

CLOSED 74-16 37th Ave., (718) 507-8800. 

Though at Afghan Kebab & Grill meat eaters will find a delicious array of items that includes kebabs and more galore, I dined with vegetarians and discovered some delicious options.  The vegetarian sambosa filled with mashed potatoes is a tasty starter and is sometimes available in a version stuffed with spinach or pumpkin.

Vegetarian main dish choices include spinach, eggplant, and roasted cauliflower and are served with a plate of seasoned rice.  A so-so salad and bread are included.  Several toppings spice things up—my favorites were the cilantro and yogurt sauces, but I wasn’t crazy about the all-purpose mayonnaise sauce.  A guava lassi is available, and though delicious, tastes surprisingly similar to the mango version.

The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable and there was enough room to keep my infant granddaughter’s stroller next to our table.
