Mimi’s Kabob is a family-owned Afghan-American restaurant that opened its doors in 2008 in Marriottsville, Maryland, and later expanded with a second location in Clarksville. Built on the foundation of home-style cooking and authentic hospitality, the restaurant was created to share the rich culinary heritage of Afghanistan with the local community. The founders combined their passion for traditional flavors with a desire to offer a welcoming space where families and friends could gather over hearty, flavorful meals.
The menu at Mimi’s Kabob is a blend of Afghan, Mediterranean, and American influences. Signature dishes include charcoal-grilled kabobs made from halal chicken, lamb, beef, and kofta, each marinated in a mix of herbs and spices and served with fluffy rice and fresh tandoor bread. Alongside these traditional offerings, the restaurant also serves gyros, falafel, wraps, pizzas, burgers, and vegetarian options, catering to a wide range of tastes. House-made sauces and sides like samosas and salads round out the menu, delivering a full and satisfying dining experience.
