The zardalou challow is a dish of lamb chunks in a savory and sweet apricot sauce, which was very unique and very good. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and the lamb kebabs were juicy and savory and amazing. The cilantro walnut sauce they provide on the side was outstanding - next time I'm definitely asking for more! The only less than stellar part of the meal was the naan, which was hard and dry. There is not a lot of ambiance in the space, but the food is solid and some of the flavors were unexpected in a very good way. If you are looking for a meat and rice based meal that is fairly quick, this is a great option.

I ordered chicken tikka biryani which was pretty good . No complaints. My wife ordered veg korma which came with a large fluffy naan and rice .

Would definitely come try other dishes.

Vegetable Samosas I love the light Philo dough texture to…read morethe Samosa. Potatoes and the peas inside were fresh perfectly seasoned. Perfectly golden fried outside. The thinner dough gives the perfect dough to potato ratio, with each bite allowing you to have a sample of everything has a whole. The dipping sauce has a nice spice level to it, kicking it up just a notch, not overpowering at all absolutely delicious. Lamb curry - Friday special I can't even begin to articulate the flavor explosion in this dish. I Cynivised it by adding seasoned basmati rice. #FeedsMySoulStatusConferred you'll have to go an try it out for yourself. I added the sides: salad and spinach. The salad fresh mixed greens. I think that the dressing was a light vinaigrette base with a strong dill presence. Spinach was cooked to the perfect texture, leaving it still having a little bit of bite and not being mushy at all. Good seasoning as well. Be sure to order a side of fresh bread, it comes out piping hot as it is made to order. Soft texture , with starting this, allowing you to scoop the sauce. Service For it to be a more of a carry out or dine and go quickly atmosphere, the service was top notch, royalty level. Extremely personable anticipating customers needs.

After perusing the menu, we decided on Samosas (six per order) and two Chicken Kabob Entrees (subbed spinach for salad). After placing the order, we were told that prep time would be approximately 25 minutes. Although I was quite hungry, this information was much appreciated. The wait was worth it. The food arrived piping hot and prepared to perfection. Chicken was tender and well-seasoned. My only gripe is that the A/C was blasting which took away from the overall dining experience. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. Highly recommend for a taste of the region. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

I tried taking my husband for lunch a couple months back and they did not appear to be open. One minute after their opening time a disheveled employee arrived and ran inside while flipping the open sign on. It gave me bad vibes that they weren't nearly prepared to be open so we ended up going somewhere else.

Interesting art on the wall and nice bathroom. Park on the parking garage below or on the side street/lot nearby. Make sure if you don't finish your lamb and ask to put it in a takeaway box go specify that you want your lamb scraps. Learn from me because my waiter tossed all my lamb and just boxed up the rice likely thinking I was done with them. Big bummer since I was looking forward to my leftovers but oh well.

Overall it was a good experience! We absolutely loved the bread and the difference sauces that…read morewent with it. The pumpkin dumplings and pan fried veggie filled dumplings were great as well. I thought my salmon wrap and the chickpea side was ok. Interesting flavors for sure. As for the service, there was always someone filling up our waters and our waiter was very nice checking in every now and then. The only downside of the experience is at the end when the waiter was boxing up all the food for us. Very sweet that they do this but when boxing up my partners food, they only boxed up the rice and they got rid of the lamb that he was looking forward to eating more of later. So that was kind of a disappointment for us. I think if we go again, we would request to box our food ourselves since I'm not sure why they decided to get rid of all of his lamb.

Mantwo is basically afghan dumpling, and the filling was incredible savory and had a meaty texture. The was my favorite appetizer, stuffed with spiced potatoes, lentils, and chives/leeks from what I saw. The dipping sauce of yogurt and mint went amazing with it. For mains, we got the Lamb Lawand and Lamb loin chop. The lamb lawand was this savory rice dish- they served it with mushrooms and a side of beautifully seasoned spinach. It came as a stew that you were able to mix with your rice as you please. As for the lamb loin chop, it was incredibly tender- falling off the bone. Dessert was difficult, as I am deathly allergic to all nuts. My partner got the hazelnut chocolate cake, and from what I heard they rated it very highly. I got the afghan ice cream; the flavor were incredibly unique, with notes of cardamom, saffron and rose water. I usually have a problem with rose water in my desserts, as it ends up tasting overly flowery or soapy, but I think it was executed well. The toppings of dates, mangos, and figs went incredibly well with the flavors of the ice cream. My only complaint was the service being a bit slow, but at the time we went it was incredibly busy, and I don't blame the workers. Otherwise, this was a great place to go to for an elevated meal! Not TOO fancy, but not too casual either.

When we walked in, we were sat in the very large dining area and our server came right over. The atmosphere definitely lends itself to a smart casual outfit vibe. Very cutesy!! We started off with the bowlani. It was a freshly gently fried samosa if I had to describe it. I enjoyed it very much. I wanted to try multiple items but for some reason wasn't very hungry so I went with the vegetarian aushuk and the mashawa soup. I also ordered the bread to dip in my soup. Everything was very tasty. The service was excellent and the overall vibe of the restaurant was pleasant. I'll be back for sure.
