    The accompaniment of Qurma Palow
    Hannah W.

    With both our children out to parties on a Saturday night, this old couple decided to venture out into little known territory ... and chose this Afghan restaurant. It is spacious and kinda strangely shaped, and we wondered what it was before becoming a restaurant. Their menu reads like a transition from Indian/Pakistani to Middle Eastern - where else would you see falafel on the same page as briyani? Although it is a meat heavy cuisine, this vegetarian found a delicious main course - Ashak, steamed dumplings stuffed with scallion and herbs, and topped with a lentil yogurt sauce. It was surprisingly delightful! And my carnivorous husband was really happy with his choice of Qurma Palow. We will bring our children here in the near future - they will love it too! I asked our waitress if they'd have more vegetarian choices, she named a few other things on the menu - appetizers and side dishes, plus bread - that I could feed on. No matter, I wouldn't mind eating Ashak a few more times!

    Lamb shank with rice, carrots, and raisins.  Fall off the bone meat with a ton of deliciously seasoned rice.

    My friend and I chose Sarinas for this month's ethnic dinner outing. The restaurant is spacious which allows you to have a comfortable conversation while dining. We started with an appetizer course of samosas, potato bolani, and mantoo. The samosas and bolani were crisp and delicious with the accompanying dipping sauce and the spicy sauces that were on the table. (Green and red sauces both add a wonderful piquancy). The mantoo comes with it's own sauce and was a tender and flavorful dumpling dish. We moved on to a main course of the lamb shank with rice, raisins, and carrots and the goat curry. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and the rice was redolent with exotic seasoning. The goat curry was a show stopper, tender as can be in a deeply flavorful sauce, all for $9. Many individuals would stop there but since we're gourmands and the food was excellent, we asked to see the menu again. Certainly glad we did, as the beef kofta kabob was one of the best bites of the night. A flavorful beef mix with a zesty spice coating that is grilled to perfection. We also had the lamb curry and it approached the goodness of the goat curry. Figuring that was just about enough savory food for one evening, we moved on to the baklava and firnee. The baklava was served warm with a decadent amount of buttery flavor and the firnee was a tasty pudding featuring some deep flavor. As a tip, if you're interested in the Kashmiri tea you should tell the staff early as it can take a while to make. We'll return to try it another time and give the rest of the menu a try. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Table sauce. Can not wait to eat it

    Yum! I've been craving Afghani food ever since i Moved out of Watchung, and had to leave behind my beloved silk road restaurant, in Warren, New Jersey. Everything we ate and drank here was fantastic . My boyfriend was a little nervous because he had never tried this type of food before . However, as soon as he had a taste, he told me that he was "calling dibs" on any leftover food. The dogh (yogurt drink) was refreshing and had pieces of mint in it that were bursting with fresh herbal flavor. I became completely obsessed with the table sauces and put them on everything I could. Rice and kebab were both cooked perfectly. The only improvement could be that the person who served us (I think he may be the owner) Was not friendly . Not a huge deal.

    From a perspective of someone who is not very much into afghan cuisine this could be a decent place. But if you are seriously into afghan food or similar cuisine this place is not for you given the food is average. I ordered combo3 to get a taste of all types of meat offerings and more or else it was either overcooked with slight burned edges, adana kebab was the only exception being undercooked. Overall its not a bad place for a starter or even family night out but certainly not for serious food lovers.

    Chicken Veggies Soup, brown rice ,chicken Sambosa, and potato Bolani . Perfect meal for a cold night .
    Jamie L.

    This place continues to amaze ! Lentil daal, Murgh Palow, Badunjan Burani And a combo platter #2 we're all so delicious . I'm happy to have left overs for tomorrow. The food is so flavorful but not spicy hot( unless you add some of their special sauces !) . This is a must try in Suffern .

    Falafel!

I got up to ask if they have any hot tea, he said yes and recommended the cardamom tea . The tea was perfect beautiful delicious! Never had cardamom tea before. I came from New York on a day trip and stumbled upon a true gem. I never had Lebanese food before and I am so glad I came here. I was treated like an actual princess.

Simon would come to my table and give me free samples of their desserts. I was just so overjoyed with the whole experience! I couldn't leave without buying hummus and a seven bean salad as well as some cookies. The restaurant was beautiful and filled with life and colors.

For the price and flavor it was so worth it. I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

BYOB and also has outdoor seating. Food has a turkish sensibility. We have gone here 3 times and here is our food review. Falafel is cooked to perfection, crispy outside and soft inside.NOT greasy at all. Filling is mixed with delicous herbs giving a green tinge. Oh-so good! Lentil soup is light, gently and perfectly spiced. Not thick, a lovely puree. Cold Turkish Salad. So fresh and refreshing. Served cold. It is a Turkish version of ratatouille of a sort. Vegetables are cooked nicely and still have a little bite to them. The spices are on point. Unique and special dish. Shish Twood (Chicken Kabab) The best we have EVER eaten. Large pieces of chicken that are so wonderfully spiced (but not spicy). So moist and tender. Rice is amazing. Again so flavorful! They sometimes have bulgar which is equally delicous (my favorite). A special item that is rarely found in restaurants. Chicken Shawarma. Similar spices to the Kabob, small pieces of moist and tender chicken. Not dry like is often found at other places. Kufta Kubob. Mix of minced lamb and beef, again perfectly seasoned and grilled. Moist and delicious. Great yogurt sauce on the side. Thick and flavorful. Kufta Kabab Pan with tomato sauce. Same meat mix as the Kabob except in is a large,round patty and is underneath a light tomato sauce. Lamb Chops. So delicous! Tender and moist and perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Generous serving. Another perfectly spiced dinner. Mixed Grill. Kufta kabab, chicken kabab, and steak. The steak was delicous..tender and moist. Generous serving and a nice way to sample everything. Pistaschio & Banana Pudding. Homemade and a "don't miss dessert"! Thick and creamy and oh-so-good! Not too sweet. Really special.
