4.0
Have been coming here for years occasionally. Sadly might have to stop after this order. With tip $50 for 3 platters. I did not mind being charged this time for extra white sauce (one extra for each platter), but this thin layer of chicken masked by mountain of rice is unacceptable. Cannot justify higher chicken and rice platters around for such minuscule amount of meat.Staff is always nice enough. Always clean, cozy interior. - Ronnie Ji

Features / Highlights

Afghan and Mediterranean food

in the region:

  • Authentic Afghan Cuisine with Manhattan Legacy: The restaurant's history as the 22-year-old Khyber Pass in Manhattan assures customers of a time-tested, authentic culinary tradition now available locally in Tappan. It offers unique Afghan street food that is rare to find outside of major metropolitan areas.

  • Expertly Grilled Kebabs: The centerpiece of the menu, all kebabs are

    charcoal grilled on skewers

    , a method that seals in the intense flavors from the marinades of saffron, garlic, and spices. The meats—including lamb, chicken, and ground beef/lamb—are consistently described as

What is worth choosing

The extensive menu at Mazadore Kebab offers a rich journey through Afghan and Mediterranean flavors. To get the most authentic and satisfying experience, focusing on the restaurant’s renowned specialties is recommended.

The Must-Try Kebab:

For a true showcase of the chef’s skill, the

Shish Kebab (Lamb)

is highly recommended. These chunks of boneless lamb are marinated in onions, garlic, saffron, and spices, and charcoal-grilled for a tender and aromatic result. The

Chicken Kebab

is also a popular choice, lauded for its tenderness. For a luxury experience, the

Sultani Kebab

, featuring a skewer of tender fillet mignon (

Barg

) and a skewer of seasoned ground beef/lamb (

Kubideh

), is an excellent option. Those looking for a slightly different protein should try the unexpectedly moist and flavorful

Salmon Kebab

.

The Essential Side:

Every kebab platter should be accompanied by the

Kabuli Palow

($7.99). This browned Basmati rice, topped with sweet raisins, slivered carrots, and almonds, is considered the national dish of Afghanistan and is a crucial part of the Mazadore experience.

Signature Appetizers:

Do not skip the unique Afghan dumplings and turnovers. The

Mantoo

are savory steamed dumplings perfect as a

Small plate

, while the

Boulanee Kadu

offers a crispy, flavorful turnover filled with spiced pumpkin. For a traditional dip, the

Humus

and

Baba Ganoush

served with pita are fresh and creamy choices.

Vegetarian Excellence:

The

Quorma Kadu

(pumpkin sautéed with spices) is a celebrated dish, transforming a simple vegetable into a complex, flavorful entree. It’s an ideal choice for diners seeking

Vegetarian options

that are anything but ordinary.

A Sweet Finish:

Complete your meal with the traditional Afghan dessert,

Firnee

($3.99), a creamy milk pudding with pistachios and rose water, or the rich, honeyed layers of

Baklava

($4.00).

With its combination of authentic flavors, quality

Halal

ingredients, and a commitment to fast, friendly service, Mazadore Kebab offers a unique and satisfying culinary adventure that is well worth the visit for anyone in the New York-New Jersey area.
