I've been wanting to try this restaurant for months! I'm not sure if there are any other Afghan…read morerestaurants in Cleveland, so I decided to give it a shot. It's a small place, seating about 20 people. Despite its size, the food and service are fantastic. The staff is very friendly, and the food is incredibly good. The Ash soup was very flavorful and complex. I can't quite identify all the spices, but it was quite delicious. Mahicha Palau--the lamb shank was very tender. The meat just fell off the bone, served over a bed of rice with carrots and raisins. It was simply amazing. Qabuli Mix Platter--the chicken, shami, and Tika kabobs were amazing. The Tika was my least favorite, but the other two were far superior. The Shami (beef) and chicken kabobs were super tender and juicy. I couldn't stop eating them. The rice was so fragrant and flavorful, and each bite was perfect.

The man that was working was very friendly and came out to take our order and chat with us a bit - he was so nice and asked if we needed any help ordering. We shared everything deciding on the Saffron Mix Platter and the Mix Kabob Platter. The saffron mix platter comes with three skewers one chicken, one shami, and one tika - all of the meat skewers were very flavorful and delicious. It also comes with with which I think is called kabuli pulao - basmati rice, shredded carrots, and raisins and it was the perfect combination with the kabobs. It also came with a small salad. The mix kabob platter was similar but with a few small differences but equally as delicious. For dessert we shared a piece of baklava and carrot cake. I'm not typically a fan of baklava because it can be too sweet for me but theirs was delightful. I really enjoyed the carrot cake - i'm not sure what was in it besides carrots, but it was not a traditional cake and it was exceptional. By the time we were finished eating, the restaurant was full, and all of the tables were taken. This must be a popular spot because they have great service and delicious food! I definitely recommend.

We ordered feta cigars (these were phenomenal!), a fattoush salad (huge), two orders of mantu (we really only needed one) and drinks. Everything was excellent! They give you very generous portions. The owner and his wife are very kind and welcoming and offer suggestions if asked. Our food came out quickly and it was nice and hot. We will absolutely come back.

My friend and I were the only ones in the big restaurant upon arrival. I noticed about 2 different people during the night come in to pick up their to-go order. AMBIANCE -- Cultural music plays in the background. I love all the colourful photos on the wall and the unique light fixtures. FOOD -- I ordered the Mixed Grill ($24.99) - 1 Kafta (beef), 1 Tawook (chicken), and 1 Kabob (lamb) which was served over white rice with 1 tomato, 1 green pepper, and 1 big onion. I don't like onions so I set that aside. The Mixed Grill was a good meal for dinner. It comes in a large plate so it definitely was too much food for me. I gladly took a to-go box home with my leftovers. All the meats were cooked well and tasted good. The lamb was my favourite. The rice served appeared to be a rice pilaf. The complimentary lamb soup was served lukewarm (almost cold) and I didn't like the taste. It's an acquired taste for sure. My friend and I commented that maybe if the lamb soup was warmer that it would have tasted better. I also ordered the Maloog bread as a side dish which is similar to Indian naan bread. The Maloog bread would have tasted better with some butter on it. I asked for butter but the server said she didn't have any. SERVICE -- Complimentary lamb soup was offered and complimentary tea is provided which is nice. The tea is up at the front counter so you serve yourself the tea. The service was good but could be better. The young woman from Afghanistan greeted us at the table with a toothpick in her mouth which was kind of funny but still slightly unprofessional. She laughed and apologized but I said it was fine. I asked for a glass or cup of water and they don't offer that service which was odd. I had to buy a bottled water for $1. Buying the water didn't bother me as it was just $1 but I'm used to most restaurants just offering water on the house. The young hostesses did check on my table a few times which was good. I can see myself ordering food from Dar Alyemen again but I'll get takeout instead of dining in. The neighbourhood where this restaurant is located is a bit secluded. I do love that this is an ethic restaurant that showcases an immigrant business. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 85/250 total reviews in 2026 - 926 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 May 2026
