An Afghan eatery in Sioux Falls is preparing to reopen in a new location.

Khorasan Kabob House, formerly located on 41st Street between Western and Kiwanis Avenues, will reopen this spring at West 12th Street and Garfield Avenue.

The new site is more than three times the size of the old location with room for about 60 diners, said owner and chef Arian Wisaal. It will be somewhat hidden from view from 12th Street, behind the Golden Harvest restaurant and across from McDonald's.

No date has been set for the opening, but the goal is to open in May, according to a press release from the restaurant.

The new location will have a larger Rug Shop with hand-knotted carpets, and shoppers can buy Wisaal's signature marinated meats, long-grain Basmati rice and other Middle-Eastern food items in a small grocery store.

The restaurant will also bring an expanded menu to the new store, with a wide variety of traditional Middle-Eastern dishes.

Meals served will cater to a variety of dietary restrictions. All meat sold in the grocery and served in the restaurant will be certified Halal. Beef will also be kept separately from other meats to ensure no contamination for any Hindu diners, and the menu will have a number of vegetarian options.

Updates on the restaurant's reopening will be posted on the Khorasan Kabob House Facebook page.
