had an incredible meal at Mayar’s Restaurant! The fish was exceptionally fresh and prepared to perfection. I also highly recommend the qabuli too—it was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. To top it off, the service was outstanding. The staff is very pleasant, welcoming, and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

I highly recommend Mayars Halal Meat Restaurant, an amazing Afghan restaurant that serves incredibly delicious and authentic Afghan food. They have a great variety of dishes, including Kabuli Palaw, Afghan burgers, chicken shawarma, manto, biryani, seekh kabob, chicken kabob, kobida kabob, grilled fish, beans, and fries. My favorite dish is definitely the chicken over rice—it’s flavorful, filling, and always cooked perfectly. The food quality is excellent, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. On top of that, the people who work there are very friendly, honest, and hardworking. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in doing their job well. If you’re looking for great food, good prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, I strongly suggest choosing Mayars Halal Meat Restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.

Best lamb kebab ever! Very authentic, small tiny well marinated and well cooked and marinated pieces. Kabuli Pilaf with lamb, rice and resins. See photos.

We had the best Qabuli rice here!! The lamb was so well done, and flavorful. The customer service was excellent and the staff is very friendly. The Watani burger is also a must try. A must try place if you’re looking for halal food in Modesto.

If you’re craving a delightful mix of flavors, look no further! The kabobs—both Shami Kabob and Teka Kabob—are absolutely divine. The Shami Kabob offers a beautifully soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a perfect balance of spices that feel both comforting and indulgent. On the other hand, the Teka Kabob is tender, juicy, and expertly grilled, with a smoky aroma that enhances its rich flavor profile. Pair these with a warm cup of Green Tea, which is refreshingly soothing and an ideal complement to the hearty kabobs. The tea’s subtle aroma and light taste cleanse your palate, allowing you to savor each bite. And let’s not forget the Afghan Special Burgers—a unique treat that combines vibrant Afghan flavors with a deliciously juicy patty, fresh vegetables, and perfectly balanced sauces. The fusion of traditional spices in a modern burger format is simply unforgettable! Together, this combination of kabobs, tea, and burgers makes for an incredible dining experience you won’t want to miss!

The best Qabuli Palo dinner I've had in my life. It's very tasty. I recommend this Qabuli to everyone. It was really great, a clean place, the best service Thank you Khalid!

Simply amazing, me and my family visited this place simply to retrieve ingredients, yet despite this we were drawn in by smells that promised greatness and virtue, we ordered the chicken biryani, cheese pizza, and lamb kebab. There was no disappointments with the food, and the prices were great! We will definitely be returning here soon.

Maya’s Food and Halal is an amazing place. The food is incredibly delicious, and the fish was cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I drove all the way from Tracy just to try the food, and it was absolutely worth it. This is hands down one of the best places I’ve eaten at. I highly recommend everyone to come and experience the food here—you won’t be disappointed.

Great service and amazing food. We placed a catering order for a wedding last minute and they prepared everything hot and fresh in less than a days notice. We recommend this meat market/restaurant to anyone just looking for some tasty food and even more for catering. All of the food at the nikkah was gone. No leftovers. Highly recommended to everyone.

Absolutely loved the kebabs at Maryar Market. They were fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, with a great smoky flavor. You can tell they use quality meat and take pride in how they prepare their food. Service was friendly and the atmosphere felt authentic. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others.”

Update!! Bcuz of my last amazing experience I went again and took a friend with me. Ordered the same Kabuli pulao and lamb seekh tikka. This time the. Chef was off. We had food poisoning. Most likely we were served few days old pulao or the lamb. Customer service has improved. Best place in California for authentic Afghani taste. Kabuli pulow, all of the lamb n beef bbq tikka and kababs. I've tried almost every Afghani restaurant in Norcal but no one has the authentic tastem. But this one for sure!! Kabuli pulao tastes authentic but it wasnt fresh made. Pulow comes with two sides and a naan which is very traditional. And the sides tasted really good. The salad served with the pulow was the top quality of a salad I've ever had at any halal restaurant in US. Price $27 for a big plate of kabuli pulow with a lamb shank, two side currys kidney beans and spinach, one piece of naan and a bowl of Salad. Two seekh of lamb tikka kabob. Pulow was enough for two people I couldn't finish it. I'd come back always for fresh kabuli palow and the seekh tikka and kababs. It has been always my favorite to eat the pulow with the seekh tikka. Best combination and I'm glad I found one in America. The star of show is the bbq chef. There can't be better bbq than this in California I've been everywhere. This is the real taste of Pakistan and Afghanistan with the lamb,beef bbq. The bbq chef has actually worked in a famous restaurant in islamabad for 20 years so all can imagine. Customer service is nice but can be improved alot. When I was sat in the restaurant there was alot of talking and chatting going on at the back. Recommendation. if Pulow is not very fresh just steam it. Don't heat it any other way. But the best would be not serving if it's not made the same day. But steaming is only good for 12 hours so let's say you cook the pulow in morning it will keep it fresh until the end of the day

I went in there to get a shawarma and the man at the register was sweet but the guy making the food completely ignored us and served the people that came in after us instead of us. He had to be told to make our food and he was very ignorant. Food was not good either
