My first time to a Mediterranean style place where they serve Yemeni cuisine and I loved it a lot. Really good flavors, nice friendly staff not a huge place with a lot of tables but I have to assume it takes in a lot of call in orders as they were busy with pickups when we were here. Try it you will like it.

Best place to get Middle Eastern food in Carbondale. It just has pretty limited hours unfortunately. Aban Kitchen is pretty authentic. Prices are pretty good for the portions. They have the classic favorites like falafel and tabbouli. A small place that has a coziness. It's pretty limited as far as hours, with it only being open in the evenings. The menu features platters and sandwiches. Has most of the usual items. There's the classics like kabobs and shawarma. It's about $12 for an entree. We got a couple of the ones for vegetarians. I got the Falafel Entree. This came with a generous amount of falafel, along with hummus, pitas, a salad, and tahini. She got the falafel but in a pita. This looked like a pretty good sandwich. Good place except the hours. It's only open a few hours in the evenings, and it's closed on Mondays. There's meaty options, and plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Service was exceptional! I walked in on a Tuesday evening and only seen one staff member, same guy was taking orders, serving and cleaning. I was exhausted for him but he didn't seem phased and offered great service despite having a 3/1 job. The place was clean with ample seating. They have menus you can scan and order directly at the table. Initially I ordered take-out bc there were small children present who were loud. Once my food was ready, the children left and they gladly allowed me to dine in with my take out bag. The food was made to order, took barely 15 mins. There was a large portion of chicken and rice but small portion of salad. The chicken required some salt but overall it was good. The pastry was abnormally small but traditionally delicious. I'll be back to try other menu items. Definitely patronize them! Carbondale needs more restaurants! There is street parking and a lot across the street, free. They are closed on Mondays!

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. Got takeout from here tonight. Ordered the Lamb Agda. It was ready in just a few minutes so I was a little worried, but the soup had good flavor and the lamb was super tender. This place will probably become a regular of mine.

Abans kitchen is awesome. The people are very nice and the food is the best. I love the lamb magulgul Definetly 5 stars !!! We go there every time we are in Carbondale.

Very good authentic food. All fresh and generous portions. Service was good and friendly. Ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. I will go there again for sure.

A true under appreciated gem in Carbondale. An expansive menu of Yemeni cuisine with universally delicious, delicately spiced dishes. Laid back and lovely service in a beautiful restaurant space. We often like sitting in the traditional style, at their floor level table on comfortable pillows. We love Aban!

What a great meal! Ordered the Combo #2 and it was everything you want and then some. Freshly prepared and tasted amazing. All the meats were cooked perfectly....especially the chicken. I can't recommend this place enough. Boating at Kinkaid Lake? Just a 15 minute drive away. Found a new favorite.

Location: next to thai taste, metered parking. Customer Service: everyone I encountered was polite and wear mask. Food: I ordered the basic. Chicken shawarma was decent and hummus with pita bread. The hummus was a 8.5/10 for me. Pita bread was the right amount of bread. The chicken shawarma was a nice size. I would give it a 8/10 for flavor. I will definitely be back to try the lamb.

Everything about my first experience with Yemeni food at Aban Kitchen would prompt a return. While Yemeni food may seem exotic there's a lot folks with traditional American comfort food preferences would find to like off Aban's menu. Lamb substitutes for pork in various dishes but other than that chicken and beef are the main meats. My Chicken Haneez was very familiar: roasted chicken quarters with rice and veggies. Yellow jasmine rice is a tad sweeter than the usual white rice of many US dishes. And though the vegetable stew was not in a broth the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini tasted like they were plucked from a soup bowl. The entree could have fed two--especially with the side of oven flat bread I ordered. Terrific service. Street parking.
