This week we sat down with Helal "Leo" Dur, owner and operator of the Kabob House on Kandahar Airfield, and his wife Homa Mohammad. Together, Leo and Homa are the owners of Afghan Kabob in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The Kabob House was a central part of our lives in Afghanistan. It's where we ordered food at least every Friday for dinner before cigar night. With Kandahar Airfield now closed down, we took this time to talk with Leo and Homa about their experiences as restaurateurs in North Carolina. Leo also told us just how difficult it was to run a restaurant on a military base in Southern Afghanistan, and why he chose to do so. They also gave us their unique perspectives as Afghan-Americans on Afghanistan's recent history and near future.
Afghan Kabob is located on 3401 Raeford Road in Fayetteville, NC. Be sure to reach out to them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/afghankabobnc/ and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AfghanKabobNC
