"We visited this restaurant last October (2018) on our travels from the UK and just had to return again when we were on our travels in April (2019). The food is very tasty and great portions. The spicy sauce which they give on the side gives a great kick (maybe too hot for those who don't like too much spice so I would suggest trying on the side before pouring over your plate). If you really like spice, ask for an extra pot. We have tried some of the kabob dishes and the lamb curry and they were both really nice. The staff are very friendly and welcoming too."

"I've been here a few times now and all I can say is absolutely delicious! Food is perfectly spiced and freshly made. The portions are generous too. I love the decor, you have a choice of floor or table seating. I must say though, my favorite part is the hospitality shown by the owners! They are so warm and welcoming, you feel like old friends or family. Love that my kids were open to trying something new and I was able to share this place with them. Definitely a must try for something little different and totally delicious!!"

"Been here twice already. I ordered kofta chalow (tender ground meat), lamb Shieh kabob (one of the best tender lamb ever!), chalow sabzi (purée spinach), Burani kadu (squash in tomorrow and yogurt sauce so many flavors sweet, herbs, salt, savory) and the kabob special with chicken and beef (my least favorite)."

"Wonderful food and service. Being new to this cuisine, I am trying to order something new each time I visit and will eventually make my way through the whole menu...some of my favorites are the Mantu (something like ravioli but with a different flavor profile) and the chicken kabob salad. I also used to love the Shornakhud, I don't think they serve it anymore but I feel inspired now to try making it at home."

"I can't say enough good things about this family owned restaurant! We LOVE the food and the owners and we try to support them as much as possible especially during these hard times. We've referred many friends who all loved it as much as we do. Our favorites are the filet, salmon and lamb kabobs. Give it a try, you won't regret it!"

"Inviting and delicious! This was our second time to dine at the Pamir Kabob House. Our server was the daughter of the owners and she was delightful and very helpful suggesting food items. My husband and I love lamb so, on our first visit, we ordered the lamb in spinach sauce and it was fabulous. Recently we took out of town relatives to dinner and the loved it. They had the chicken and lamb kabobs and my husband ordered the cherry lamb stew. The service and food quality was just as good as our first visit."
