Salang Pass Restaurant is an Afghani restaurant in Fremont, California. Fremont is a town / city where there is a high concentration of Afghani immigrants. There is a part of our town called "Little Kabul," thus the opportunity to enjoy the Afghani culture and its food... Yummm... Salang Pass is small restaurant with some "take-off-your-shoes-and-sit-on-the-cushions-on-the-floor-sitting" as well as regular sitting. My daughter and I have dined here a couple of times before but thought we'd try it again. We started out with one of the favorite appetizers here - the Borani Kadoo. It is pumpkin sauteed in and seasoned with garlic and topped with a special yogurt sauce. As the restaurant gives the diners some salad and naan (flat bread) to start with, one can also use the naan with the Borani Kadoo... delicious! For our entree, my daughter picked Quabili Pallow. It is described as baked brown basmati rice with seasoned lamb and topped with raisins and juilienned carrots. When the dish came, my daughter said it was not what she had intended to order. The adventurous soul that she is, she tried the dish and enjoyed it. I shared it with her. I have to have this during other visits to Salang Pass and it has never disappointed me. Since my daughter ordered my very favorite dish, I ventured out and ordered something new - Mantoo. It is Afghani style dumplings stuffed with ground beef, onions, and seasonings. It is also deliciously topped with that yogurt sauce. My daughter and I did share this dish as well. The portions are generous, so diners probably end up taking home unfinished portions for some extended enjoyment of the delicious fare. The restaurant does not serve any liquor or wine but diners may bring their own bottles for a reasonable corkage fee of $5.00 per bottle. The cost of two dinners including appetizer but before dessert or coffee was $30.00. This review is the opinion of a Slow Travel member and not of slowtrav.com. |

An Afghani restaurant that introduces diners to the cuisine of Afghanistan. The soft (floor) cushion seating adds to the ambience. Service is great.| Car Rental | Hotel Booking | Flight Booking | Train Tickets | Books, Maps, Events |
