My family and I had an absolutely incredible dining experience at this restaurant. The hospitality was unmatched, the staff greeted us with such warmth, making us feel like their family. The service was kind, and full of genuine care. I tried the lamb shank with kaboli, and eggplant, each bite was a perfect harmony of tender protein, fragrant rice, and fresh vegetables, all infused with the rich aroma and authentic flavors of Afghan cuisine. I definitely recommend this place!

I recently ordered lunch from Afghan Restaurant and Market in North Charleston and wanted to give this local family-owned business a shout-out. it. 📍 Location: Afghan restaurant and market — 5101 Ashley Phosphate Rd, Unit 133, North Charleston, SC 29418.
I ordered the lamb gyro, and one thing that immediately stood out was how fresh everything tasted. The sandwich was huge and packed with meat, fresh lettuce, garlic sauce, and soft bread. The portion size alone impressed me, and it could easily be shared.
I also tried the pickled vegetables on the side, which were a nice addition to the meal.
What I really appreciate is that this restaurant offers something different from the usual chain restaurants. If you’re unfamiliar with Afghan food, don’t let the menu names intimidate you. They have chicken, beef, lamb, vegetarian options, rice dishes, appetizers, sauces, and plenty of choices for different tastes.
The owners have a great story, and it’s clear they take pride in sharing their culture and food with the community. They also have a market inside where you can purchase specialty Afghan ingredients, teas, spices, and other items.
I was told they offer a buffet on Saturdays, which sounds like a great way for first-time visitors to sample a variety of dishes and discover new favorites.
If you’re looking to support a local small business and try something different, I encourage you to give Afghan Restaurant and Market a visit. Charleston needs places like this, and I hope more people discover it. 📍 Location: Afghan restaurant and market — 5101 Ashley Phosphate Rd, Unit 133, North Charleston, SC 29418.
I will be back for some Chicken kebabs dinner.
