Love ordering take out or eating at this kabab house. The white and green sauce are always so tasty and the chicken is always cooked to perfection. Sometimes i get rice with my order depends on the mood. Consistent food quality!

I love this place. I buy food from them all the time their food is so delicious every birthday occasions. I go there take food home. It's so good. I recommend this food for others. It's fresh and delicious.

Came here for a birthday and love the no frills down to earth vibe of bakhtar! The star is the food! Its so confusing figuring out which bakhtar is the original but I thought the serving size was great, we ordered huge sharing platters, family style and all the sauces were great. It's so nice to not feel greasy and bloated after eating. Staff was very kind. I wish they asked us what drinks we wanted and brought it from the fridge for us but no big deal. I heard the green tea wasn't turned on properly but we came early. Chai was great!

Main Bakhtaar restaurant offers a delightful Afghan culinary experience. The chicken cubes, lamb cubes, and beef cubes showcase a perfect blend of spices, creating a flavorful and tender bite. Accompanied by Afghan rice, the dish is a satisfying mix of textures and aromas. The traditional Afghan bread, firni, and green tea add an authentic touch, enhancing the overall dining experience. In addition to the delectable dishes, the restaurant boasts a welcoming ambience that enhances the visit. The friendly staff further elevates the experience, providing attentive and warm service. The inviting atmosphere, combined with the delicious Afghan fare, makes Main Bakhtaar a standout destination for those seeking not just great food but also a pleasant and hospitable environment. A must-try for those looking for an exquisite taste of Afghan cuisine.

The food is nice and hot and fresh and I recommend this place it is a 10/10. The service is also excellent and I will make sure to come back again.

One of my favorite Afghan spots since childhood !! We always get the #33 family combo. They let you tweet the Kababs you want !! Comes in a tray good for 3-4 people. Very Affordable and Great !! Service - Fast , I call in advance and for pickup Ambiance- Nothing Fancy but HUGE spot They have a Hall you can rent as well !!

So apparently this is a lamb chop? There were two tiny pieces just like this. The service was HORRIBLE too.

I'm no scientist but if you take the average of Turkish/Middle Eastern/Persian kebabs and divide by Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi kebabs, you'd get Afghan kebabs. Not as dry or mild in flavor as their neighbors to the West or as spicy as their neighbors to the East, I find Afghani kebab joints offer the most balanced and perfectly prepared kebabs, and Main Bakhtar are masterful in their contribution. You have several options of beef, chicken, or lamb skewers served over a bed of delicious long grain rice, a side of salad, some bread, and green and white sauces. The meats are succulent and juicy and packed with just enough flavor so they're not overpowering and your protein is the rightful star. I personally love the chicken tikka but am also a fan of their lamb chops and beef tikka as well; there are several combos to choose from so you can mix and match to your heart's desire. I like their rice and would recommend making it Qabili style by opting for the addition of carrots and raisins for a small upcharge, which will surely turn that like into love. The sauces on the side are perfect complements to the meats and the mildly spicy green sauce mixed with the pleasant white sauce is what dipping drams are made of. The "salad" is at best a garnish and consists of lettuce, a few slices or tomato, and perhaps 2-3 slices of cucumber. I wouldn't go to a salad joint and order a T-bone, so may be this isn't you should bookmark if you're a vegan and vegetarian because this is certainly a place meant for carnivores with very few non-meat dishes one of them being the bolani, which are large cheese and scallion stuffed flat dumplings that are flaky, crispy, and thankfully not overly greasy. The ferni dessert is also very delicious and a personal favorite but there are also several other house made dessert options on display from which you can choose from. I always call ahead and the food takes at least 20 minutes but it's always fresh and delicious! The staff are kind and friendly and I haven't had any issues over the course of my many visits. My biggest complaints are the lack of side dishes such as some Afghan style chickpeas, spinach, or okra, but considering how much food you get in each order and at such amazingly low prices, the value considering the portion sizes are perfect and an extra side dish would take you from being full and content to being disgustingly full and about to burst. Great food and always consistent! Definitely recommended!

Main Bakhtar is not accessible by subway, but is located right next to the Q44 in Flushing. The restaurant has plenty of seats and tables. It was empty when my friend and I visited. Most people order to go. They also do catering. Be sure to bring cash as it is cash only! I had the chicken qorma, and the lamb chops and chicken kebab plate. They come with rice and salad. The food was delicious, especially the lamb chops! The lamb chops are on the small side but they are nicely seasoned and grilled with some crispiness around the edges. The chicken kebab was also nicely grilled and not too dry. The chicken qorma was tender and there are lentils in the dish. The sauce is very tasty! I really enjoyed the slightly spicy and sour green sauce as well. The food was good but the service could be improved.
