Permanently closed

This spot has closed for good. We're keeping the page around for the memories — it no longer appears in our guides or recommendations.

If you want to have a truly unparalleled experience, stop by Tucson Coffee Cricket and grab your morning coffee paired with their Zucchini Walnut Bread or selection of other baked goods made with cricket flour. Yes! Cricket flour! If you’re timid don’t worry, they have plenty of other sweet treats, not made with cricket protein. Their menu features teas and coffee drinks like their ube latte and honey lavender latte, as well as cookies and doughnuts. Photo courtesy of Tucson Coffee Cricket.

Opened in 2023, @kabulcorner is Tucson’s only Afghan restaurant, created to provide jobs, community, and a taste of home for Afghan families who made Tucson their new home. Today, Sediq Haidari and his family serve traditional Afghan dishes like bolani, mantou, Kabuli palaw, fresh tandoori naan, and house-made chaka, while preserving recipes and traditions rooted in Afghanistan’s rich history. With its warm hospitality, authentic food, and strong sense of community, Kabul Corner has become a little piece of home in the Sonoran Desert. ❤️ “These dishes are famous not only in Afghanistan, but in neighboring countries like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Iran, and even parts of China. It sits right between Indian and Arabic food.” Sediq Haidari Read @sea_lyon’s article on Tucsonfoodie.com Photos by @sea_lyon #tucsonfoodie #tucsonfoodOpened in 2023, @kabulcorner is Tucson’s only Afghan restaurant, created to provide jobs, community, and a taste of home for Afghan families who made Tucson their new home.
