Interesting place.
I thought it would be an interesting experience to try Afghani food, but it was just kind of average...This is my first time trying Afghani food and I'm not sure what is "good" for Afghani but the
food here wasn't horrible, it was simply edible. We had kabobs and it tasted like something you would get at a family BBQ. Some beef, chicken, and bell peppers. The scenery was an attempt at elegance but didn't quite make the mark. Parking however wasn't easy to find, we ended up parking on the street a block or so away.
On a positive note, service was excellent and the waitress was nice enough to look over the fact that we accidentally broke a wine glass. If you want to be in a quiet place, there is a private room by the door facing the window that is quite cozy.…
Citysearch Editorial Review. A charming glass storefront opens into a cozy, elegant room with high white ceilings rising above cushioned teak chairs, starched tablecloths, Afghan antiques and paintings. Pasadena hipsters and intellectuals gather for animated talk, with traditional Middle Eastern music playing in the background. Hints of Persian and Indian flavors come through in specialties like leek and scallion dumplings, sauteed eggplant with spiced yogurt, fried samosa pastries with chicken and beef, and charbroiled lamb kebobs. Afghan pilaf is served with most entrees.…
Great Food!. I've eaten here a few times and each time I try something new, and have never been disappointed. The hot tea is great too. It has an elegant but family-owned feeling that gives it great charm. There's a lot of love and care put into every aspect of the food and service.…
Delicious kabab and great service. Our first time trying Afghanastani food, and maybe it was because I was craving Kabab, but this was really good juicy chicken kabab. The rice with it was sooo good too. I came home trying to find recipes online for the rice but couldn't find anything as good. So go check it, it's worth it. It's really quaint inside, and our server was soo sweet and friendly, it was like visiting a family restaruant.…
Fantastic Cuisine- a MUST TRY!. I first tried Afghan cuisine up in Santa Cruz, and ever since, have been searching high and low for a place here in LA- and this is it! Azeen's was a fantastic experience; my parents and I had a very nice, elegant dinner. Our waitress actually grew up in Afganistan, and answered our questions about what it was like living there, the cuisine, etc. The food was amazing- it's a wonderful mix of persian and indian influences, but has it's own edge that makes it so deliciously unique. I really hope this place continues to thrive and do well- it's definately worth checking out! The decor is very nice, with images of the country and painted murals, but it's a very classy place to go with a date/ good friends.…
