    Everything. The service, the food and everything was great. Food was definitely a must try and come back for. We tried Mantu, Aash and beef Chapli kabob.

    Flavor profile on point. Loved this family place. Sat and ate for over 2 hours and could've eaten more. Delicious and great service!

    Service was great, the employees made us feel so welcomed and they were very helpful when we explained it was our first time eating afghan food. We had a great experience. The dumpling appetizer was so delicious! Also the beef kabob was full of flavor and sooo delicious. The lamb was very tender but it needed more broth to counteract the dryness of the rice on top of it. The chicken was good and the portion sizes were great as well. The place was empty so we were able to focus solely on the food without any noise or distractions. I would definitely come back again

    Chicken Kabob + free yummy bread with two dipping sauces

    YUM YUM YUM! I had been craaaaaaaving Afghan food for the longest and am over the top happy that we have this amazing little gem in our city. My sister and I stopped in on a cold rainy day earlier this week and it beyond hit the spot for both of us. It is a simple establishment, very clean, with super delicious food served PIPING hot by the lovely individuals working there. My sister ordered the chicken kabob and I'm vegetarian so I ordered the Eggplant borani bajandan dish (served with rice but not pictured) with an additional order of Mantoo with Veggie to split between us. EVERYTHING and I do mean everything was SO DELICIOUS. Before our order came out they brought fresh bread with two dipping sauces (the red one was sweet then sour hot and the green one might have been Zaatar based but I could definitely be wrong it also had kick to it) which were yummy as well. We basically finished everything with just a bit leftover for my sis to snack on later. It is so rare to find veggie Mantoo (usually only see the beef option) and it was just *perfection. The dishes were so flavorful and everything was well balanced and freshly made. The people working there are also super kind and take pride in what they do. Highly recommend this place the next time your craving authentic Afghani cuisine!

There is no TVs but there is ethnic music playing in the background so it creates a quiet atmosphere for conversation. This restaurant is family owned and run. The father & son manage the dining area. The son who was our server/waiter was very detailed oriented in describing where their food originated & was delivered from + how differently the food would taste with different cuts. I ordered the lamb & my friend ordered the chicken. This particular cut of lamb was not my favorite and I favored the chicken more so next time I dine here I will try a different cut of lamb. With the meal, they serve fresh lemons, and two types of sauces. I personally am not a rice eater however, the way the balsamic rice was prepared I ate everything that was on my plate. Except for the cut of lamb I ordered, I truly enjoyed my meal and would come back and recommend it to anyone who asks if I know of a good Greek restaurant.

To start, the location seemed a bit random, parking lot was not very crowded. The door was open and we weren't sure if there was an event going on, but there wasn't. There is a greenery background in which you can take photos outside. When you walk in, it look like it could be an event hall (at least to the right behind the sliding door). To the left, when you enter, it looked very nice (also like an event hall, but on a smaller scale. It was very well lit. Restaurant was very clean overall. There were a few (2-4) parties seated already. A waitress seated us quickly and also shortly asked us if we were ready to order. She seemed a bit confused when we asked for more time at first and we had to clarify. May be a bit of a language barrier. It then took us a while to finally flag one of the two staff members down after that. For some reason they were just really busy and didn't really look our way so we had to flag them down. We also noted on the menu it emphasizes that dishes take 20-30 minutes to be finished, so it may not be best to come here if you're under a time crunch, or at least order ahead of time. We ended up ordering the following: - Steamed khinkali: This reminded me of xiao long bao but on a larger scale and with a large "handle." Because of how large it was itself AND the handle was large, I wasn't sure how to eat it. After leaving the restaurant, I learned from a Youtube video that you're supposed to pick it up by the handle, bite a hole and drink the soup, then eat the rest of the khinkali. Apparently you're not supposed to eat the handle, but many in the comments said they do it anyway, and dip it with sauce. However, I also ate the handle and we also did not get any sauce on the side. It was almost a little under seasoned as is, but I could also enjoy it as is. There is also a fried version, too, and I'm curious how that could be like especially since it would have soup. - Chicken tabaka in creamy sauce: This was probably my favorite dish! The chicken seemed to be roasted with skin on, and the sauce was rich and creamy, full of flavor. There was enough sauce to coat the chicken and dip again, as well as dip our complimentary warm baguette and lavash in. This dish would have also been nice to eat with rice. - Lamb lula kebab plate: The lamb was seasoned well and essentially it's a kebab without the skewer in the middle. Wished there was a bit more rice to go with the kebab (rice to meat ratio was a touch off, but still good). - Lavash and warm baguette with hummus (complimentary): I loved that the baguette slices were warm. The hummus was so fresh and creamy. Overall, it was a nice and unique experience.

My order consisted of naan, fried fish, shahi paneer, and prawn masala. We also ordered rice, and at most places it's a giant to-go plate of rice, but here it was a small box, which was obviously disappointing (and annoying), especially since all the other portions were pretty big. Why give a big vat of butter chicken and only a small box of rice?? But overall the food was pretty much 3 stars. Solid, but not outstanding.
