Halal · Authentic Afghan Cuisine · San Antonio, TX
Huge Portions. Warm Hospitality. Real Afghan Flavor.
Family-run and newly renovated, Kabul International Food Market & Restaurant brings the kabobs, karahi, and Kabuli Palaw of Afghanistan to Wurzbach Road — rated 4.9 stars by our neighbors.
Our Story
Tucked into a strip on Wurzbach Road, Kabul International Food Market & Restaurant is a family-run kitchen and grocery under new ownership — and San Antonio has taken notice. Guests describe the welcome as "incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating," the kind of hospitality that turns a chance stop during a family road trip into a standing tradition.
Every plate leans on recipes carried straight from Afghanistan: fragrant Kabuli Palaw studded with raisins and carrots, smoky Chapli Kabab pressed thin and seared hot, and rich beef and chicken karahi simmered to order. The bread is baked fresh in-house, the portions are generous, and the halal kitchen means every dish is prepared according to Islamic dietary law.
Beyond the restaurant, Kabul International is also a market — a one-stop spot for Afghan groceries, sweets, and sheer-yakh (Afghan ice cream) to finish the meal. Whether you're grabbing a kabob sandwich on your lunch break or feeding the whole family off a catering platter, the goal is the same: authentic food, honest prices, and a genuine welcome.
