Aban Kitchen - Carbondale

I love the falafel sandwich. The kitchen staff are talented and everyone who runs the phones and the food are polite and professional. Lots of seating and a huge parking lot right across the street. Definitely a restaurant I recommend to friends, so you should stop by.

Great food, and wonderful service. Love the Yemen pics on the walls.

Since we found this place we come back every week. The food is always delicious and fresh. The portions are generous.

I’d never been to this restaurant and really didn’t know what to expect. I asked the server to kind of explain and he was very kind and explained the menu well. The menu is simple in a good way. No hot food is good or bad depending on your preference and mostly lamb and chicken with a few beef options served with rice or bread and humus. The lamb with rice was very good and I plan to go back to try multiple dishes. If you’re a little skittish when it comes to “ethnic” food, this food will not scare you a bit. I would say try it and you’ll be pleased with how friendly the staff is and pleasantly surprised how the food is different but not exotic. Also, I didn’t walk away feeling bloated more satisfied. Hopefully this helps

This is my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in our area. It’s not your typical Gyro place at all. It’s a real experience and the food is excellent. I judge a good Middle Eastern restaurant by the quality of basmati rice that they buy, this rice is some of the best I have ever eaten. Light, fluffy, very long grained yet form kernels, and spiced with something delicate that I cannot name, but is addictive. The last time I was there, I splurged and ordered the lamb chops, and I was not disappointed. It was more food than I could eat, and so I had to take some home to eat the next day. Poor poor me. No really, these folks are really really nice people and the atmosphere is, peaceful and quiet, not like your usualAmerican restaurants with loud music blaring, and several TVs. This is the kind of place that you would want to take your favorite person on date night, or take business colleagues to discuss important stuff. I hope people can support this business as much as possible so that they will be successful. The pandemic was hard on them and I’m glad they survived it.
