    This is the best afghan restaurant in the dc area. We came back a week later because the food was truly that good. There is nothing bad on the menu ny favorite is the ground lamb kofta but everything is sooo good

    Pistachio "pudding"
    Roy S.

    I came here because of the WaPo article, and I wanted to investigate for myself. Outside is a busy street and a congested parking lot, but inside, you can enjoy a wonderful ambiance, smiling hosts, and soft Afghan music. I asked the wiater for his recommendation as to their signature dishes. I got the (I don't have the real names) dumplings, garlic naan, lamb with rice & carrots, and a "pudding dessert". The dumplings were excellent. Great sauces and the beef filling was very tasty. The garlic naan is flavorful, but unlike the Indian naan I am used to, this one is very stiff. I would enjoy the option to have both versions, as a suggestion. The lamb with rice & carrots really surprised me. I've never had such silky and seasoned rice before. It needed nothing else it was so good! However, the lamb was tender, spiced well, and really complemented the dish. Insight recommend it. Finally, I tried the Afghan dessert, which was a new one for me. I love pistachios and the taste is not overly sweet. However, the texture was a total surprise! It's hard to describe but the top layer is slightly firm while underneath it's almost a yogurt consistency. I enjoyed it because it was something new and unique.

    Amazing food and wonderful staff! Everything we've ordered has been fabulous. The food is flavorful and unique and meat is always cooked to perfection. They also offer plenty of vegetarian options given the size of the menu. Serving sizes are large so we always leave full and with leftovers for another full meal. The staff are sweet and patient. The ambiance is also lovely. They offer take out which is extra convenient. This is not a place to rush your sit-down meal. So, if you are under a time crunch I would recommend coming back another time when you can fully enjoy. This is a refugee & family-owned restaurant. They continue to support refugees in the community by offering newly arrived refugees from any country up to 50% their meals and employing refugees. https://wamu.org/story/23/05/12/my-kabul-afghan-food-refugees/

    My date and I decided to come here after reading the Washington Post review. So glad we did! Everything about it is great. Our server Maryam was so helpful in picking out favorite Afghan dishes. Give this place a try and you'll be glad you did!

    The restaurant is in a strip mall on route one. The interior furnishing is very nice. The service was attentive however, there were not very many people in the restaurant at the time. This was Christmas Day, but I 5 o'clock the restaurant was beginning to fill. I had manta , spicy ground beff and the lamb chops with rice, and they were quite delicious.

    Hand-made Afghan ice cream.

    Delicious! My recommendations in order: - Hand-made Afghan ice cream! - Mahicha Palau (like lamb biryani with nuts, etc) was delectably tender. - Qabuli Pau, the sweetness of carrot and raisins with the savory rice was awesome. - Sabzi (spinach) was a surprise hit! - Mantu dumplings. Love the food. Love the vibe. Love what I've read about the owners' mission.

    I brought my afghan friend here expecting him to have critiques. Not only did he like it, he loved it and said it was some of the best afghan food he's had here in the US. The food was flavorful, fresh and affordable. The ambiance is very family friendly. The service was excellent; wait staff was attentive and warm. We will 100% be coming here again, and then again.... And then again, and then some more!!!

    This place has been around for a good bit now and the food delivers!…read more The restaurant has plenty of parking. It's easy to find the inside is a casual dining, ambience, and environment. However, I would say that the music plays from a little Bluetooth on the corner of the restaurant and it's not the greatest quality, would cut in and out, and it was just blaring way too loud, making it hard to have regular conversations. Service wasn't too bad overall. There was only one weight staff who had all the tables in the restaurant which made her spread out pretty thin. But we wouldn't get regular refills or Water and took so long to get water (waiting up to 20 min to try to get her attention) and at the end of our time together she finally gave us a pitcher of Water, but a little late as we're most done. Also, it took a while to get basic things we had ordered coffee but either she forgot to bring us coffee or she didn't ring it in and we weren't able to get it until after our food was delivered. So service, while she was friendly and kind, our service was definitely subpar. Hopefully this wasn't bc she had automatic tip bc our party was so large for her lack of service. 1/5 for service The food was amazing for the most part. I had gotten the salmon BLT and it was moist and tender with good flavor and seasoning, and the bread had a great texture and flavor to it as well. The bacon was nice and smoky and the sauce that was paired with it made it great. The hashbrowns were so crispy and seasoned with great flavor and salt! This was a winner! 4.5/5 Yeah, I got a bunch of other dishes, but I only tried small bites here and there of other people stuff. What I would say, is that the Cajun pasta shrimp was cooked perfectly and was tender and had great flavor! And that sauce was amazing! The sausage I tried wasn't the best but decent! We got biscuits and wings as appetizers, and the wings were great, good flavor, good crunch, and a decent size. However, there needs to be more wings in the order for the price. The hot honey sauce as good! 4/5 The biscuits were pretty moist and had a great texture and consistency, You get two for the order! 4/5 Overall, the food is pretty amazing. However, the service was pretty bad. Maybe this was a one off but just prepared for a long waits for everything from water to getting a drink order.
