    This Afghani restaurant was quite decent and is located near Des Moines not too far from Highline College. We decided to experiment for "date night" and this was a pleasant surprise, the food was very tasty. There is a prayer pad at the front of the store. It was about 77F degrees in there at 9pm at night in March, so it was a bit warm that I had to take off my jacket. This might be from the kitchen equipment though. We had as follows: "Chicken Kabab, Chicken Karahi, Samosa and a Sprite." Total was $54.27 for the entire meal. It came with a generous portion of a Naan type bread which tasted great. The chef was nice to us and answered all of our questions. He gave us some hot Ceylon tea before the meal was served, he also mentioned all the food was Halal. Side note: There was a homeless man that was in just before we got there (when the place was empty) and was begging for food. The chef gave him a portion of rice and something else. I thought that was very upstanding of him to do that for him. If you ever wanted to experiment with Afghani food it has some similarities to Indian and Mediterranean, yet has it's own unique flair. 5 stars.

    Best rice i have ever had and the meat was super rich Love the seasoning. Definitely would come back here again and the price is reasonable

    I really wanted this to be good, but unfortunately it disappointed me. The bread was not warm, room temperature so basically cold. The samosa were still literally frozen on the inside. Lamb Kebab was cooked ok but a bit salty. At least the server tried to be nice.

    Very sweet people and delicious food! Seems like it's family run and they were very attentive to us. I loved the lamb rice and the potato puffs. Those aren't the names but lol the menu is simple so you'll know what I mean. So yummy. A little pricey, but really not bad!

    no meat in this gyro, the picture speaks for itself

    I'll get straight to the point: This place is lamb heaven…read more One of the best and most unique lamb ribs I've ever had. A thin crisp crust, falling off the bone tender lamb with a nice amount of fat. It's served with a salty spicy dry rub that adds more texture with each bite. The raw sliced onions, not something you'll see with western cuisine, but a staple served with mughlai kebabs in other parts of the world provide sweetness and additional crunch. The lamb buns were great. Unlike most buns or patties or quiche which usually have ground lamb, these had tiny cubes, along with potatoes. Just needed some hot sauce to unlock flavors for me. The lamb soup with noodles was light and super flavorful. Great for a winter afternoon. Service was nice. The place is inside the same mall which houses Ranch Market and is clean with nice comfy seating. Will I return: Definitely

    Ooohh, now THIS is a slightly rare treat. Cuisine specifically from Xinjiang province in…read morenorthwestern China. Specializing in lamb, xinjiang naan, and more with a healthy amount of, of course, cumin. Lamb skewers - Glorious meaty flavor, with that very slightly gamey lamb taste and a lot of seasoning. Lamb stir fry - Delicious. I particularly love the lamb chunks that have a bit of fat or tendon on them. I also love the potato in this. Hand pulled wide noodles - These are on-point, especially after the sad and soft ones at Dough Zone. So much texture and the amount of umami they soak up from the juices of the stir fry is brain melting. Naan - They're definitely good, but these are.....sooooooooo dense and filling. As an analogy, if bread -- bagel, then Indian curry naan -- this naan. Honestly, these aren't my favorite, but I can't fault the taste or quality at all. Soup - Oh yeah, this was also perfect with the bread. At a glance, it reminds me a bit of pho broth, but you'll forget once the lamb flavor in it hits like a truck.

It absolutely was, & I'm glad I stopped. I got the jerk chicken cheese fries, made while standing in freezing rain in a parking lot while we chatted about Miami. The only problem was that I still had to drive to the clients house while smelling that heaven on the seat next to me slowly getting colder... I picked at it as I drove & once I got where I was going it was a few minutes before I could sit down to eat. All it took was one bite. I waded into that pile of amazing with the fervor of a woman who hadn't eaten in 4 days & before I knew it it was gone.

    Ummmm. Very interesting. Let me start by saying the Skippers seafood was great and I will be back!…read more It was in a gas station which is fine but we entered from the front and had to look for where they cook the food and if they still were in business. We found it to the left behind a partitioned wall of snacks. No one was at the counter and there was a little bell. We had to "ring the bell" a few times to get service and then pay up front (where you pay for your gas). There was no one in the little dining area and It was very quite and it felt a little awkward eating in silence. I think it's quiet though because another person reviewed it saying the Indian music was so loud. ?? There were three menu topics. Teriyaki, Indian, Skippers. Like I said, the skippers fish and chips were good and The other items looked good too. Now that I know what to expect (and to use the side door). I'm sure my experience will be better Oh by the way, they do use Yelp for a 10% discount if you "like" them and they use door dash and grub hub if you want delivery.
