Majlis Restaurant | Our Story
A Gathering Place on Railroad Avenue
Family-owned Afghan kitchen on Pittsburg's Railroad Avenue — honest food, generous portions, and hospitality that feels like home.
The Name Means Everything
In Afghan tradition, a majlis is a gathering — a shared table, a moment of coming together. The name isn't branding; it's the whole reason this place exists.
Cooked Like It's Always Been Cooked
Qaboli rice, hand-spiced kebabs, slow-simmered lamb Karahi — cooked the way it was in the kitchens where these recipes were born, with no compromises for mainstream taste.
No Guest Leaves Hungry
In Afghan hospitality, feeding someone well is an act of love. Every plate that leaves this kitchen is generous on purpose.
A Home for the East Bay
Pittsburg's Railroad Avenue had no place for food this authentic — until Majlis opened and quickly became a destination for the whole East Bay.
