Worst dining experience ever! We waited for over 1.5 hours and still didn’t get our food. This restaurant clearly doesn’t have the capacity to handle more than 20–30 people at a time. We …

Went last night with a group of 18. This is the night many of the negative reviews are upset about. …
Very disappointing experience overall. The buffet was extremely overpriced — for just three adults, the total came out to $115.53 after taxes, tips, and added fees. For that price, the food quality and service did not match expectations at …
Chopan Ranch — what an amazing place! Family-friendly outdoor seating, fresh food that tastes like home, and all those Afghan flavors feel so comforting. I love it. #chopanranch #halalfood
We visited Chopan Ranch today. We had the charsi kebab, and it was amazing — absolutely delicious. The place reminded me of being back in Afghanistan, eating with my family. They had animals outside, a big piece of land with a fountain, and outdoor seating. I loved it.
It was my family’s first time visiting this location. The area and restaurant itself is very nice and music was traditional Afghan. Awesome family atmosphere. However the service was not good at all. We waited over 30 minutes for our food …
It was a misunderstanding I had thinking this was an outdoor restaurant which it kinda seemed like it was based on the photos but it was not my expectations. On photos it shows they have kababs they have plain rice etc etc etc... but …
Chopan Ranch offers a charming country vibe paired with traditional Afghan cuisine. You can enjoy flavorful dishes like Kabuli Pulao and Mantu in a rustic setting that reflects Afghan culture. It's also a great venue for parties, providing a unique backdrop for celebrations. Are you thinking of visiting or hosting an event there?
We visited Chopan restaurant last night, the place is beautiful a nice outdoor ambience. The food was good but sadly the service was below average. We had our food brought to the table exactly an hour after we had ordered (I am not kidding …
disappointing experience. The buffet had only four dishes—the least variety I’ve ever seen—and two of them were bland. The server didn’t even know what was being served and incorrectly identified a chicken curry as beef, which is …
I had read reviews about the service being slow which was not the case when we dined there. The food was at our table in 25 min. They try to do good job but are lacking the experience to provide very good service but I am sure they will …
I really like this piece and it’s really good for family’s and friends and yall can have great time with your loved ones❤️🫶 …
Excellent environment and ranch. Very well maintained and as always great good.
Chopan Ranch is a great place to eat, especially for families. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is welcoming. One of the best parts is the play area for children, which makes it easier for parents to relax and enjoy their meal. Highly recommended for a family outing!
We came with a group of 25 and had high expectations, but the experience was disappointing. The booking process was frustrating and required several calls to confirm. The weekend buffet was very limited with NO kid-friendly options. The …
Food was nice. A little bland. The rice is kabuli pulao is too less. Like a single serve plate but the meat is good. They should atleast give the basic quantity like a box of biryani. The Chaplin kebab was thinking and dry with one onion …
⚠️ Attention Parents If you're considering visiting this location with your children, please be aware: …
The atmosphere is the only highlight of this place. the food arrived cold and didn’t feel freshly served. prices are on the higher side for what you get, and overall value is lacking. based on this visit, i wouldn’t recommend it.
Drove all the way from Sugar Land to Chopan Ranch because Google showed it as open, only to find it closed when we arrived. There were no updates or notices anywhere. If you're closed on Fridays, please update your Google listing so people don't waste their time driving such a long distance. Very disappointing experience.
Let me start with the positive: the ambiance is lovely. On a beautiful weekend, sitting outside at the ranch was very pleasant. However, that's unfortunately where the positives ended for us. Our experience was defined by disorganization, …
We were 3 persons there for lunch today ; food taste was good but quantity is much less than the US standards and I wonder why they charge service charges I.e. 18% for 3 persons as normally restaurants charge when there is group of 5 or more!
Chopan Ranch is an absolute treasure! My experience there was nothing short of amazing. The scenery is breathtaking, with stunning views that make you feel completely immersed in nature. The accommodations are cozy and well-kept, providing …
Food came out a little late, but honestly, they did great considering there were only about five people working and over 100 guests to serve. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I recommend making a reservation if you’re on a …
The food here was really good — delicious flavors and generous portions. Unfortunately, there were a lot of mosquitoes, and several kept landing on our table and even on our food, which really took away from the experience. I’d come back for the food, but I hope they address the mosquito problem, especially for outdoor dining.
It was a great experience hosting an event at Chopan Ranch ballroom. They provided the best services with best food. Highly recommend the place and will do more events in future.
I went here with my family and loved everything about it. The outdoor seating, the fresh food made on charcoal, and the fresh lemona mint drink. My kids had blast playing at the playground and seeing the sheep’s and ponies. I would 💯 % recommend this place for families with kids. Also, they have a volleyball place. …
The food was delicious and it’s a beautiful place to sit and enjoy dinner with family! Love the open space.
Absolutely pathetic and useless management. The staff is unbelievably rude and ill-mannered, acting like they’re doing you a favor by taking your money. Every customer there looked frustrated, just wandering around because not a single …
Really enjoyed my visit to Chopan Ranch and Restaurant! The food tasted just like home fresh, flavorful. The natural atmosphere around the place makes it even better, calm and peaceful. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious, home style meal. Definitely worth coming back.!
A peaceful escape with incredible Afghan food! This place is a hidden treasure—an open-air Afghani restaurant set on a beautiful ranch. The setting is so serene and refreshing, perfect for enjoying a …
I'm shocked this place doesn't have more reviews! Restaurants out this way are rare and just as rarely, are actually good. This …
I have had kabobs in many places but nothing beats the deliciousness of kabobs made in this place. The Lamb chops are so tender that you cannot get enough of it. The atmosphere with clear sky, sound of running fountain, animals (horses, …
We hosted our family Eid event here and it was wonderful! Food and ambience for outdoor seating was great
I have been going to chopan and saffron for many years and am a big fan of their food. I wanted to go to this ranch once I heard about it because of my great experiences previously with the restaurants. However, I called about 30 times …
Great place to eat for families I would say who are more relaxed and are there for their kids to have fun with adults to do their thing. If your in rush or have time limitations this is not the place for you. Go elsewhere. Your not going to …
Nice place for family. Need to expand food menu but overall good experience
I really wanted to like Chopan Ranch, but the food was a huge disappointment. The flavors were flat, the quality didn’t feel fresh, and honestly, nothing stood out. I’ve been to other ranches and the difference is night and day. Chopan …
Overall experience is bad server had no idea about the food the buffet option is very very limited. Not recommended to waste money here
Its a nice place but always make sure when it comes to payment to check your receipt before you leave because they over charge you a lot i called to fix it but they didnt do anything
We dined at Chopan Ranch along with two other families and were disappointed by the service. There were no menus or QR codes on the tables, and the wait time was much longer than the 15 minutes we were told. We ordered four family-style …
It's a great farm house for the gathering, Birthday parties 🥳 and family reunions. Playground and lots of activities for the kids. …
I had a reservation pending for almost the entire day. They told us they will call us to confirm the reservation for our family. They didn’t call at all nor did they pick up up any calls for hours. I understand they’re backed up and busy …
The place is amazing. Food was outstanding and reasonably priced. Booked ahead because we visited in the weekend.
A decent getaway from the city. If you are looking for a quiet place and a long drive, this place is for you.
Very delicious food, best afghan restaurant I had visited in Houston
We went 3 People Amazing place. with outdoor seating we love the hookah and the food. The weather is amazing out here.
I came here with a group of about 20. The staff ignored me, were running to other tables and took about 25 mins to get a mint lemonade the food was OK, the seating area was very good but if you need quick service DONT COME HERE I went to ask for my lemonade there were 5 other people there complaining they are very under staffed.
We drove from Dallas Love it 😊 tasty food 🥘 and good environment …
Great place, amazing food and a great service and delicious afghani food
The restaurant is new I think that’s why they are delaying with the food, most people have to understand it. But the waiters are very nice . I love it

Amazing food and ranch with animals for kids to play...
Overall, I appreciated the service, but the food wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. I hope the restaurant can make improvements.
They need to work on their chef or management department. You order food and it comes after hours.

It is an okay place. The food is okay. The arrangement is average.
