    Menu and ambience
    Max A.

    Nuristan Food is a hidden gem. The food was phenomenal, rich in flavor, and clearly made with care and tradition. Every bite tasted authentic to Afghanistan -- not watered down, not rushed, just real, soulful cooking. The ambience completes the experience. Clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up, it feels warm and comfortable -- the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and actually savor the moment. It reflects Afghan hospitality beautifully without trying too hard. The meats were perfectly cooked, the rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the spices were balanced beautifully. Portions were generous, quality was top-tier, and everything tasted fresh. On top of that, the service was kind and welcoming -- you're treated like family, not just another order. If you're looking for real Afghan food, this is the place. Support this business -- they deserve the love and the traffic. I'll definitely be back and bringing others with me. Highly recommended. Don't sleep on this spot.

    The food was excellent! I ordered 30 beef kobidehs and 30 chicken kobidehs, which were both juicy and tender with a delicious spice blend! I highly recommend this place.

    This was the bread filled with potatoes.  Delicious!

    We came here after a trip to Pala to pick up some ground chicken. It's a small and clean store and they do a great job making good use of all of the space. We were pretty hungry so we decided to get something to eat. This is where the magic happens for sure! We ordered chicken and beef with rice and salad. The salad dressing was so delicious. The chicken was good with nice flavoring but the star was the beef. My husband said it was so fresh and reminded him of the meats he would eat back home during Eid. We also ordered a potato bread which was like a tortilla but with potatoes and tomatoes and really good with just the right amount of mild spice. The best thing? They have spiced beans with garlic and onions that OMG with the rice??? Heaven. It ready is meant to be just a small side but we loved it so much we ordered a bigger container of it to take home with us. Who woulda thought the side dish ended up as the main character! I'll admit the man at the counter was not the most friendly person at first. He would answer questions quickly while not looking at you. But once we were there for a bit, he let his guard down some and was much nicer. The food was definitely worth the trip and I'm thinking of going back this weekend even if it's just for those beans!

    Dried mint!   Good luck trying to find this in any regular grocery store.

    I absolutely love this place. Their food is really good but what I love the most is all of the spices and seasonings they have. You shouldn't ever buy and spice or seasonings at regular grocery stores. You can come here and literally buy 10x for the same price as any grocery store and just refill your bottles for a very very long time. They also have a bakery here that makes the most fresh and amazing barbari bread - you'll start eating it on your way home -HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Great place for green tea and Sadaf cardamom tea.

    Lamb Kabab...big serving...good for sharing...great flavors!

    Great and friendly staff. Tucked in a small business complex and inside is a halal grocery which has a few tables for those who choses to dine-in for their kebob plate offerings. Food had generous portions and can be shared. Great flavors. How I wish they offered lamb chops and lamb shank in their menu as those are my favorites. Nonetheless,the lamb kebob was awesome,my new favorite! Will be back for sure!

    Toddler approved of chicken kabob!

    I just moved to Temecula last week from San Diego. I was in the area and accidentally found Nuristan Food - went inside to check it out and it made my day. I was so happy to find an Afghan market and with food to order! The owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I bought a large Turkish coffee pot and went back later to get some food for my family and I. I ordered a Chapli Kabob, Chicken Kabob and Bolani. My daughter is 2 and doesn't eat hot spiced food so I requested the bolani not to include that and he was able to accommodate. The food was ready in about 25 minutes. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious!! I highly recommend anyone in the area or nearby to stop by and check this place out!

    Has anyone tried this cranberry ginger ale?!

    We visited for the lunch buffet and thought it was really good! There were only a couple of other…read moreparties in the restaurant but as we were there, a lot more people came in. The restaurant is large with a mix of tables and booths and the buffet is set-up on the back wall. There was a decent amount of food available, not too much to where the quality gets lost. Everything I tried was delicious and fresh. There was paneer, chicken, rice, mushroom dish, lentils, etc. The team there were always checking the food and refilling. There was a fresh fruit/salad area that we didn't try. We got yummy, hot garlic nan upon request, that was so amazing! Our waters were always refilled and they do have alcohol for purchase, which i'll have to try next time. Price is reasonable and the selection of food is top notch. We will absolutely be back.

    Time to update my 10 year old review!…read more Even though my first review said the food was just okay, we return to Mantra over and over again, because food is pretty good. We had dinner here last night: yellow curry (which was actually quite red), a paneer dish, garlic naan and basmati rice. Everything was flavorful and delicious! We had another 20% Off coupon, making this a very reasonably priced meal. The inside is big with a lot of tables. It's not fancy, just casual. Service was good. Food came out super fast. At 6pm we were the only ones in the restaurant. Apparently they get very busy during their buffet that goes from 11am-2:40 pm daily for $15.99. I would like to return to try the buffet.
