Was feeling hungry after a round of errands and decided to try out this kabob spot. Didn't think…read moreanything of it and boy I'll tell you I was happily surprised. Located in a non discrete location with just a small sign outside it's easy to miss this hidden gem. Walked in and was quickly greeted by the staff. The interior is a little tight so take out is probably your best option. Menu has your typical kabob dishes with a few added additions. I placed my order and sat ace waited. Now I will say there was a bit of a wait time to get my food but you know a place is good when it's busy. As I was sitting many people came and went either with to go orders or to sit an eat. And that's how you know you've found a hidden gem. Once I received my food it was delicious. I'll happily come back if I'm in the area again.

Craving lamb. Submitted my order via their website. Arrived at the restaurant and we were greeted…read moreas we walked in. The restaurant's decor is culturally appropriate. We arrived early evening and they had a candle and tablecloth on each table. I ordered Baadenjaan Bouranee, luscious eggplant dish; Frenched Rack Of Lamb, perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful; and Pumpkin Dumpling Entree, perfectly sweet, smooth interior and perfectly steamed dumpling wrapper. I will continue to support this establishment.

We were able to get reservations to this restaurant earlier in the day, but I would highly suggest…read moregetting reservations ahead of time because we saw people get denied when they just walked in. 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 .

I get food here about twice a month. It's next to a zips dry cleaner that I frequent…read more The first time I tried it was during lent. I was looking and expecting to find falafel. They don't have falafel, but I highly recommend any of their vegetable sides. I got the 4 veggie plate and loved everything. They make amazing flatbread that is worth the trip alone. After lent, I still go back and like everything I've tried. They are extremely friendly. And whoever is at the counter will warmly welcome you. They have a pretty simple menu and tap to pay conveniently located on the counter. There is nothing in particular I would recommend as everything I've tried I'd order again. I'm catholic and would recommend the veggie plate during lent. I will say that the drink options are common and basic bottles in a refrigerator. Don't let the plain name in front fool you. This place is worth a try. I don't preorder and have never had a long wait. If you eat in, they offer you warm tea that is really appreciated during winter.

It's a shame I'll never go back!

It's still…read morearound and since I was craving some good Middle Eastern eats, I stopped in recently on a weekday and the first sign I should have left was that no one else was there. The second sign - it smelled nothing at all like a place that makes anything with curry, it smelled like cleaner. The fixtures, décor, and leftover (from the gas station that it used to be) slurpee and other machines all tell me the folks who own this place put nothing at all into it... So, one would hope they put their love into the food.... I tried their beef seekh kabob with a side of chick peas... The flavors and style is more Persian, maybe Afghan, but definitely NOT anything with flavor! Those are bland and basic in preparation, style, and flavor... Indian and Pakistani foods have sooo much more depth of flavor which comes from better preparation and use of spices. The kabob was as flavorful as regular 80/20 ground beef wrapped around a spit... I hardly tasted any spice to it. The chickpeas weren't flavorful at all. The rice (even though it looked like it might be good) was the blandest thing I had, so I hardly ate any. Overall, I tried this place a few years apart and nothing has changed... I have no idea how they stay in business, but I do hope they are successful... They just don't serve the flavors I seek.

I placed order from this restaurant via ubereats. Since it's Ramadan and I was looking forward to…read moretry some Pakistani food in iftaari. I ordered biryani, nihari haleem and lassi. I'm utterly disappointed to taste lassi and it was sour and foamy means it was old and stale, it went down to drain. I then tasted Nihari Haleem, there wasn't any nihari or haleem flavor in it but a mixture of broken chicken pieces with naked bones and taste more like daal gosht, absolutely no flavor in it. Biryani also was stale and chicken pieces look old and dark on the outside. Side raita (yogurt) was also foamy and stale. I'm very disappointed because I was very excited to learned we have Pakistani restaurant in Stafford but I guess I'll have to travel up north to satisfy my cravings for desi food. I'm sorry but I don't recommend this restaurant because of this experience of my mine.

The bread comes out with four different sauces in the beginning which is nice. We got the assorted dumplings which were very flavorful and delicious. The lamb rack is to die for and the saffron chicken is also very good. I preferred the other two entrees over the lamb moghuli but it might be because I'm not a huge fan of the smoky flavor. The restaurant has a cozy and comforting atmosphere and is pretty quiet. Will be going back again:)
