Great food truck that caters! A friend had it for her son's grad party and it was a favorite!

The taste in the value of the food was excellent! I got a salad with their chicken for about $14. The gentleman taking the orders was super friendly and helpful with ordering. You definitely can't just sit there and eat unless you're sitting on one of the block walls that's kind of close by at the parking garage or one of the tables that's about 50 feet away. I highly recommend this food truck whenever you're at the Navy Yard. read more

Fresh Afghan Cuisine - Menu (10/24/2024) - Afghan Near Me - Washington DC, Alabama

I make sure to stop by when I'm in the area for work because this food truck is outstanding. The chicken is so flavorful and juicy- the spices really spot on. The Side salad and potatoes are my go-to. I wish it was closer to me because I'd be getting this everyday. The service is great & served with a smile. I love supporting this business and it's clear they know what they are doing with this food truck. A must try if you're in the yard. read more

Apparently, this food truck has been at the Washington Navy Yard for years. It's usually parked in between the clinic and the parking garage, near the smokers gazebo. There isn't much to say other than you can purchase decent Afghani from this stationary vehicle. The wait time is typical, the prices are fair, and the food won't disappoint. I recommend trying the gyro or the chicken and lamb platter. If you're getting a side, don't pass up on the chickpeas, spinach, or pita bread. Bottom line: great place for lunch if you happen to be at the WNY! read more

Fresh Afghan Cuisine - a variety of foods in a styrofoam container - Afghan Near Me - Washington DC, Alabama

Food trucks in DC look like circus quality food, but this was better than what you find at the county fair

Best place to eat at the Washington Navy Yard. I don't even go off base to any other restaurant. Why bother when the best food is right here? I normally get the chicken and ask for extra spicy but I have had the lamb. You can't go wrong with anything. read more

Back to the office for the first time in a while and of course I forgot to pack a lunch. Pre pandemic, there were a couple food trucks on the Navy Yard; DC Slices always had a line. And Fresh Afghan Cuisine has been here for a while, yet I've never given it a try. I opted for the gyro, which I figured would be your usual Greek diner deal: thin sliced gyro lunch meat on shredded lettuce with onions, hothouse tomato, tzaziki, and maybe feta or cucumber if you're lucky. What you get here is chunks of gyro seared on the flattop (if you've had Halal Guys, it's similar but much bigger chunks), served on a pita topped with chunks of iceberg (no paper thin shredded lettuce here) with onions, tomatoes, and a spicy white sauce. I want to say it's yogurt based, but there's some decent jalapeno-style heat going on. Just enough warmth to make it interesting and creamy enough to tie everything together. HUGE portion and a steal at $10 and the dude throws in a bottled water as well. When it's tough getting out of Five Guys without spending $20 and even McDonald's will run you $15, this is one of the best lunch deals in the neighborhood. Can't recommend them highly enough. Get the gyro and prepare to take a nap. read more

I have been working on the yard since 2015 and have been ordering here at least 2 times per month. Food is very delicious and full of favors. The chicken is amazing and the chickpea is so good! Bring back the spinach please! read more

Amazing food! The best afghan cuisine here at d.c! For a foodtruck, production was fast! Presentation is awesome! I got the lamb, it was tender, flavorful and huge amount! Customer service is awesome! Amazing ladies! We at the navy yard approve this for the entire d.c! 2021! read more

When I was over at my Navy JAG appoint this past week turning in emails, I stopped by this delicious truck for a break from the back to back meetings and it was an amazing welcomed meal!! The line was my first indicator this had to be a winner and the friendly guy at the counter did not disappoint. Options were minimal, but the quality and quantity made up for it. We tried the lamb and rice meal, with a side salad (yogurt dressing) and pita... will absolutely be back here for my next upcoming appointment!! read more

Fresh Afghan Cuisine - Pita, side salad, and lamb with basmati rice!! - Afghan Near Me - Washington DC, Alabama

I ordered the chicken and rice. It came with two sides, spinach and chick peas is what I chose. I'm going back to try the chicken sandwich and will update again. The average cost is $9 per plate and it was a good portion of food, so well worth it. It didn't take too long to make either. read more

The food is delicious and plentiful! Every time I visit the Washington Navy Yard, I definitely have lunch at the Afghan Food Truck. The owner is friendly and gives a free cold bottle of water and hot Afghan bread with every meal! Every dish is great and I usually eat the veggie platter! The food is delicious and very healthy! Don't miss your opportunity to lunch there! read more

I'd say this is one of the more solid places to eat in base. Their service is top notch and their food comes out pretty quickly. read more

This is the best food on or near the Navy Yard. The lamb gyro is spectacular. The staff is very nice.

It looks like the truck has worked out their employee reliability issues and the food is still just as good, but comes quickly so you are not waiting your entire lunch half hour on them to cook it. Very good option on the Navy Yard. read more

Top notch!! The food here looks better than the pictures, and is absolutely delicious! I had the chicken with rice, spinach, and pita bread. The other day I had the chick peas, too. ALL DELICIOUS!! read more

Awesome food! Huge portions. Friendly service. Best truck in the Yard! Get the gyro sandwich or chicken....or both! Edit: marked down one star because I asked if their chicken was white meat, twice. Was assured it was but when I opened up the sandwich all the chicken was dark meat. Big bummer. read more

This Afghan food truck has the best value on the base! Jessie is friendly and patient... Food quality is high, delicious and quantity is enough for 2 meals... You can't go wrong having lunch there! read more

One of the best Afghan food in the area. It was a authentic Afghan food. I love the chicken and the Sabzi. Their customer service was great. The owner was super friendly and funny. I go there now twice a week and sometimes three times. Totally recommend it. A must try. read more

I am soooooo happy that they have this truck here. I love gyros and their food doesnt disappoint. If you havent tried them, you are missing something in your life. Fast and fresh!!!!! read more

I have been working at the Navy Yard for over 3 years now and as most people will tell you, there isn't much good eats in that area unless you go outside of the base. The fresh afghan truck is by far the best place to eat inside the navy yard and it isn't even close. Their grilled meats (chicken and lamb) are spiced just right and their chickpeas (stewed in a yogurt tomato sauce) are excellent and somewhat addicting! They will also cater to your spice or the amount of sauce you want (either white, green or a spicy red sauce) and Khadija is a super sweet person as well. So if you work in the navy yard and you haven't had fresh afghan yet you are missing out! I highly recommend it! read more

The food is as expected. Depending on who takes your order, the customer service ranges from excellent to below average. They were able to customize my order with no problem to meat my vegan diet. read more

Excellent food here at the Navy Yard! It's a welcome change to the other options. They give you options to the heat (taste) of your food. The guys are fast getting your food out and the service is always better than expected. read more

The food truck looks clean and tidy. Very nice graphic design. Food tastes really good! I got the lamb and chicken kabob and they changed my view of Midwestern food in general. The pita bread is super awesome! I wish that the extra rice (3$) is a little cheaper cuz I'm from a heavy rice eating country. Most Asian food places actually offer free extra rice. Other than that, everything is great! read more

My lamb gyro was fresh, flavorful, filled with a hearty portion of meat. Service was handled in a friendly and timely manner. Just make sure you'll have plenty of privacy and napkins because I had to get a little messy (the meat kept falling out of the pita). read more

This is my favorite spot for lunch. The food never disappoints. The folks are friendly and courteous. I have a go to order every other day it seem the gyro, the only thing missing is feta cheese. This truck is on point!!! read more

Fresh Afghan Cuisine - Lamb kabob with rice, spinach and pita bread. - Afghan Near Me - Washington DC, Alabama

One of the best food options on the Navy Yard! I usually order the chicken. It is flavorful, and not dried out; served over a bed of rice. I generally add on the spinach and some naan. read more

This is honestly the best place at the Yard to get fresh food! I always get the lamb over salad - the lamb is so flavorful and juicy and just YUM! I would go here on a weekly basis when I was working on base. The spinach and potatoes are also delicious sides. This place never disappoints. It's no wonder there's always a line! But it moves relatively quickly. Just make sure to get there early- closer to 11am if you can, to beat the lunch rush! read more

I continue to frequent this food truck. The food is always delicious. I am getting the Lamb and Rice with double salad. 9 bucks. Excellent food at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for? read more

This is a very popular food truck that operates at the Washington Navy Yard during lunch. It's best to get there early to avoid long lines. It seems most of the people on the Navy Yard know to come here for reasonably priced, taty gyros, rice and lamb, and other Afghan favorites. I've eaten here on two recent business trips and enjoyed everything I've tried. read more

I look forward to every Tuesday when Afghan Fresh comes to the base! As a vegetarian, it's hard to get tasty, good food but these guys always deliver and I couldn't be happier. Every time is delicious and I love how I can use the rice and naan to sop up every last bit! read more

Consistently the best lunch on the Navy Yard. The wait time may seem excessive at times, but it's worth the wait.

If you're ever in the DC area and you have access to the Navy Yard, you have to eat at this food truck. So amazing! I get the chicken and lamb platter with potatoes and spinach. They put this spicy seasoning and yogurt on everything. It's tangy, spicy and savory. So much flavor! The seasoning reminds me of the chile limon I put on my Mexican food. The meat is tender and seasoned perfectly! They even have vegetarian options. I'm sad that I'm returning to San Diego and won't be able to eat here anymore. read more

Food truck located on the Washington Navy Yard. You can't go wrong at this place - everything on the menu is delicious, and the prices are fantastic ($9 for a generous portion and a can of soda). My favorite is the lamb and rice with extra white sauce, with chickpeas and pita bread. The rice, it's like it's just regular rice but it is so much better than any other rice I ever get! It's a nice, light basmati that's cooked perfectly. The meat is perfectly seasoned and so tender and perfectly cooked. The spinach is OK, the potatoes are good, the salad is salad - the lamb and chicken are really what it's all about! The guy that takes orders always makes me smile and is so friendly - a small thing like that goes a really long way to make my whole day nice. I don't like reviews that don't tell me anything except the good, so here are my cons: - The line is always long and can take an hour or sometimes even more! That's the price you pay for food that's cooked up fresh and is this delicious, which is why I don't dock it any stars. But plan on a long lunch. - For the sandwich, the meat is the same chunks you get with the rice, which doesn't work for the sandwich. But again - I don't dock it any stars because everything is so tasty and the lamb and rice are the only thing I ever want to order anyway. - I would love to see another side option, or at least change the salad. I would WAY rather have an afghan side salad than a American-style lettuce-based salad. And gulpea! - They don't accept paypal or other electronic payment. They do take credit cards at least, but - 21st century! read more

I literally buy from them 2-3 a week for lunch! I enjoy eating food from all over the world! read more
