Kunduz Kabob & Pizza on Woodside Ave in Lakeside is a halal Afghan restaurant at 12128 Woodside Ave serving charcoal-grilled kabobs, Qabuli rice, and Afghan-fusion pizzas in a dining room decorated with traditional Afghan design elements. The charcoal grill produces lamb, beef, chicken, and chapli kabob skewers marinated in house spice blends, building a menu distinct from the pizza-centric operations on the corridor — though the kitchen also runs its own pizza line with fusion toppings, pairing naturally with curated selections from Lakeside Liquor Store on Maine Ave. Mantoo — steamed dumplings filled with ground lamb, onions, black pepper, and garlic, finished with yogurt and tomato sauce — and bolani flatbreads stuffed with mashed potatoes, chives, and cilantro anchor the appetizer section. The restaurant hosts cultural community events including Yalda Night celebrations, serving the same East County gathering function that Lakeside Community Center on Vine St fills for civic and nonprofit programming. The Qabuli layers basmati rice over slow-cooked veal with julienned carrots and raisins, and the sheer yakh — traditional Afghan ice cream — finishes the meal with a rosewater-and-pistachio frozen dessert.
