Azro Afghan Cuisine

It was my first time trying Afghan food so I wasn’t real sure what to expect. We started with the Sambosa’s which were hot, fresh and delicious. For an entree I had the Kabab-E-Morgh. The rice was really good and the chicken had an amazing flavor profile. The waiter was patient, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. A fun find with amazing food.

Since I moved to San Antonio, Texas almost two months ago, I wanted to try Azro Authentic Afghan Cuisine. It’s run by an Afghan family. Great ambience, presentation of food excellent, the friendliness of the owner himself and his son was authentic Afghan hospitality. The food tasted great. I ordered Qabuli Pilaf and Eggplant dish on the side. They served the food with a freshly baked loaf of bread from the Tandoor. I was happy with everything and the price was reasonable. Well done Azro.

I happened upon this restaurant accidentally. I was planning on going for sushi but parked in front of Azro and decided to try. I have not had Afghanistan cooking before so why not give it a try. The inside is nicely decorated and very inviting. The gentleman at the counter greeted me as soon as I walked in, and as there were no other customers at the time, I choose my seating. The menu is not overwhelming, with appetizers, entrees, vegetarian options, and a kids menu. I started with a pot of mint tea, which was delicious and refreshing. As I was undecided between lamb and kebabs, the combination platter was suggested. This was served with a green salad and the dressing is one I have never tasted, and was quite delicious. My entree was better than expected. The meats were seasoned perfectly and the rice beyond words delicious. I will be back to try a few more dishes. So if you are in the area, skip the sushi and stop by and have a meal. You will not be disappointed. I sure was not.
