About us

Welcome to Salang Kebab, New Jersey’s home for authentic Afghan cuisine since 2008. Born from generations of family recipes, we bring the bold flavors of Afghanistan to your plate — slow - cooked meats, fragrant spices, and vibrant vegetarian dishes crafted with passion.

From 2008

In 2008, Salang Kebab first opened its doors in Toms River New Jersey, bringing the rich, authentic flavors of Afghanistan to the heart of the community. For years, we became a beloved destination for those seeking eastern and traditional Afghan cuisine — savoring our succulent kebabs, fragrant rice dishes, and warm hospitality. Though we closed our doors, the memories of shared meals and cherished moments never faded.
Now, we’re thrilled to announce our return! Salang Kebab is back , and the same commitment to serving you the true taste of Afghanistan. From our signature kebabs to aromatic rice and vegan-friendly options, every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients and the same passion that made us a favorite.

Why We Stand Out:

✅ Traditional Afghan Dishes: From Chicken, Beef and Lamb kebabs, golden Kabuli Pulao to Vegan Dishes.

✅ Fresh & Local: We source seasonal vegetables and halal meats to honor Afghan culinary traditions.

✅ Vegan-Friendly: Explore plant-based Afghan favorites like spiced eggplant kebabs and hearty lentil soups.

A Taste of Afghanistan in New Jersey

Culinary Journey

Explore our gallery showcasing authentic Afghan cuisine and vibrant dishes.

A variety of dishes are displayed on a colorful tablecloth, including stuffed rolls, fried snacks, leafy green vegetables, a bowl of dried fruits, and other mixed plates. Some dishes are served in ceramic bowls and surrounded by a natural outdoor setting.

An assortment of delicious dishes is arranged artfully on a textured gray tabletop. A large bowl of rice is garnished with coriander, tomato, and onion slices. Next to it, a long rectangular plate holds skewered grilled meat garnished with lemon slices. A small bowl of red sauce, a bowl of soup, a spoon, and a fork are placed nearby. On the right side, a bowl filled with round golden-brown appetizers is visible. Vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, and lemon wedges are scattered around, adding pops of color alongside a small glass of beverage with mint.

A rectangular plate with two skewered kebabs garnished with sliced lime and cilantro is placed on a table. Next to it are bowls containing hummus, mint chutney, and yogurt. Accompanying them are slices of flatbread and a small salad of shredded carrots and cabbage. The setting is casual, with ingredients artistically arranged.

A table is set with a meal featuring a rectangular green plate with three pieces of grilled or tandoori chicken on naan bread, accompanied by a colorful coleslaw. To the side, there are three sauces in small bowls: one white, one light green, and one beige. A basket contains two pieces of flatbread, likely naan, and there is a garnish of fresh cilantro and a sliced tomato with onion rings.
