    Pic to confirm our purchase that would have been used for a good review had bad the situation not happened
    Zee A.

    So, my husband and I decided to support this business because they are a small Muslim owned restaurant that looks empty every time we come in. This time I clearly asked for 'bone in chicken'. He offered kofta combo and I again clearly asked for bone in with the combo. We paid extra for the substitution of the Pumpkin and spinach instead of rice so would surely have paid extra if asked. We were served boneless and by the time we realized it we had eaten ONLY a spoonful of rice and a few pieces of naan. We were told we had to pay for the bone in chicken since we didn't notice before we took some of the rice and bread. Wa 'alahi It was clearly his mistake. Even the other guy offered to replace it but the one arguing said no, only if we pay. MashaAllah. My reviews are always honest and I tend to give a better rating for small businesses. But I cannot tolerate disrespect and accusations that are not true. Will never support this place. I tried. Almost $35 later for one combo, a water and a mango lassi. I am so upset at the blatant offense that I now cannot eat. And will never support them again. I will continue to support Ziza Kabob in Jessup and Maiwand Kabob

    Beef Nihari (with 1, 2, 3) pieces of beef
    Michael B.

    I've been here a few times. Food is usually very good. The beef nihari is my go to dish. It's packed with flavorful cuts of beef in a rich thick spicy broth. So much so that I often get a second (garlic) naan to soak it all up. Well not today. There were literal 3 small cuts of beef in my bowl. Broth was runny and lacked that spicy finish. Now I will say that the beef hihari isn't usually available on Sundays but they said it was in stock but I guess this is what was left from the weekend. Disappointed The naan was still very good

    Prince Kabob is on route 3 between Gambrills and Bowie. The Wife and I were in the mood for kabobs and they hit the spot. The wait was really long considering there was no one in the building but everything was fairly good. This is a place I'll go back to again and again.

    Goat Karahi Special
    Candice H.

    I visit this spot at least once a month...sometimes more and I almost always order the goat karahi. It comes with salad and naan. I love the flavors in the dish. I took one star off because sometimes I get way too many bones. Every once in awhile I'll eat in but most of the time, I order it to go. The goat karahi is an order for 2 for about $30. I always order it just for me so I can have plenty of leftovers. The samosas are delicious too! You need to check this spot out!

    So I had to come back to update my review. Since COVID-19 hit the US I have been ordering here once a week to keep some type of normalcy in my life. I absolutely love the Goat Karahi special, you can also order this dish with chicken but the goat is amazing! The food is halal/kosher for anyone on a restricted diet. I order off the GrubHub app and pick up, that way I can pay for my food ahead of time. I usually pick up because the GrubHub app is the worst, drivers always take too long. This special comes with two pieces of naan, salad and mint sauce, asks for extra sauce, it is so good. This dish can feed about 2 people. Food is seasoned very well, they have also recently opened their restaurant for dine-in.

    Ok...did I go on an off day? There are alot of positive reviews.... I happened to be in Crofton and stopped by this spot with my son. When I walked in the smells were awesome and the gentleman at the counter said they cooked it fresh and it would take about 20 minutes. That is about all the positive I was getting today from this spot. Strike one....The lettuce is clearly wilted and bad! Why would you put this on the plate? I get past this and try the food. I ordered a lamb kabob and chicken kabob. The flavors were lacking.....it was bland like cumin was the only flavor on the meats? Even my toddler said 'yucky mommy!' The sauce was even bland! Ugh...Such a disappointment. We've been to several authetic afghan/pakastani/kabob spots. This spot right here totally misses the mark. Moby Dick which is a chain has better flavors than this place! Skip this place!

    The lamb chops here are the best I've ever had in my entire life!!!! They melt in your mouth, and are impeccably seasoned. You will not find anything like this in the area. Trust me.

    Kofta and Chicken Kabob Combo
    Ahmed E.

    Time: took about 20 minutes from the time I ordered to the time the food was served. Quality: the quality of the food was High-medium to high. Quantity: just about right, will definitely make you full. First date: definitely not, very casual not the type of place you want your date to experience for a first impression. But good for friends or family hang out. Overall: good place to hang out with friends and have a good meal. Special note: I would definitely try the bread Would I recommend: yes

    Butter Chicken...bangin'!
    Jess C.

    Love this place! Hope it gets the credit it is due. One of the best joints in Crofton, by far. Definitely my Go To. The butter chicken is amazing and the portions never disappoint. The space is very clean. The employees are highly efficient with time. And the price is right. It's also nice being able to order takeout via the Yelp app and keep an eye on the time. They also deliver!

When we walked in, we were greeted very nicely and sat quickly. Our server was new and it was her first day so she couldn't really give any recommendations which wasn't the best, but the manager came out and was able to help with describing some of the dishes and giving great recommendations. Most of the people that we ate with ended up with some type of lamb dish and the lamb was phenomenal. The rice was delicious. The eggplant was delicious. We got a bunch of appetizers. Everything was on point. Everything tasted super fresh and overall we had a very nice experience. The food also came out very quickly. The overall ambience was very nice very home type vibe and it is a smaller restaurant for limited tables One of our friends that we went with since we haven't seen each other for a long time was really craving a beer and kebabs which sometimes a little bit harder than one would anticipate but they served alcohol as well as delicious food so win-win here. So overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want delicious Afghan food, but of course remember to book in advance .

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.

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.

For appetizers, we got Mantwo and Bowlawani- it was absolutely DEMOLISHED. 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!

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.
