When I questioned them this charge not being disclosed anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu, they said this was a standard practice which the owner has been doing for many years and also applied at all other coffee shops and everywhere else -- and all their customers knew about it. We eat out very often and specially dined here several times already. This was the first time I saw this charge and I found their explanation not justifiable. The service charge plus tip added up to almost 30% on top of the meal cost. On another hand, the server got our order wrong on both two items and never checked in on us. The restroom's light was out and the toilet was not flushable. The food was good though. It's sad that we would have to find a new place to eat the same dishes now.

My girlfriend and I were looking for something a bit different in the area and decided to have our…read morefirst try on Persian food at Kasra. I must say I have to echo her review, as we were blown away by the flavors. The restaurant was packed, and the decor was fancy but comfortable. One look at the interior and clientele already convinced me this place would be authentic. We opted to try 2 different combos, the Kasra and seafood combo, so we could share and try a bit of everything. It's hard to pick a favorite, all the proteins were flavorful and tender. The rice was a whole talking point just by itself. I often get bored with plain old white rice, so I'm glad Kasra seasons their rice well. The portions were very generous as well, they left me full after cleaning up that whole plate. This was an excellent introduction to Persian cuisine for me, we got lucky that we chose a place that would leave a great first impression!

The garlic naan was delicious (who doesn't love hot crispy, fluffy carbs with garlic?). The afghan village platter is enough to feed 4-6 people. Plenty of rice and delicious, juicy kabob meats. The raisins in the rice were a great touch. We started with the bolani though and this was the best comfort food for my husband -- I thought it would be slightly crispy on the outside but it was still very delicious. He also loved the goat karahi. Plus, the decor in the place was very cool with an LED sign showing all the provinces of Afghanistan!

The only complaints I have are that it doesn't seem like there is enough staff in the front, although they were trying to catch up there are a lot of customers and just not enough to-go and server staff, also the menus, I tend to enjoy physical menus over QR but that is just a personal preference. Overall amazing food and great atmosphere

This is apparently one of the top sellers with chicken shawarma and hot spicy chicken. So, I was told comes with onions, tomatoes and tahini sauce. The beef is cooked well but rather tasteless and not seasoned well. I had skipped onions, just got tomato/tahini sauce fyi. Was a bit disappointed so saved half to go home and doctor it with hot sauce to make it more tasty.

I guess the only problem with it is that some of the food trucks come and go, so if you fall in love with one particular truck or a couple of them, don't expect them to be around forever, because that may not be the case. These four examples were some amazing food trucks that don't seem to be here anymore. And it's sad that they're no longer in business.
