  Absolutely delicious food and truly excellent hospitality! This was my second visit and, like my first, the food was so flavorful and fresh and the service was fast (even for our larger group) and friendly. Highly recommend!

  I came to this restaurant expecting good Afghan food, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The first problem was the prices. The regular Qabili rice was $17, while the Maicha Pulao was $25. However, both dishes were almost the same in terms of rice and ingredients, so I did not feel the extra $8 was justified. The second and biggest problem was the freshness and quality of the food. The Maicha Pulao I ordered did not taste fresh at all. The bread seemed like it was about two days old, and the meat did not taste fresh either. The Qabili they brought was basically just plain rice, not proper Qabili, and the taste was disappointing. The customer service was also very poor. The employees were busy on their phones instead of paying attention to customers. There was almost no customer service or attention given to us. Overall, I was very disappointed with the food, freshness, prices, and service. I personally would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience. If you are looking for good Afghan food, I would recommend spending your money somewhere else.🤢😷

  What a gem of a place! The food was lovingly prepared and served--the best of home cooking, like you were lucky to be invited to a family get together. There was a surprise complementary chicken soup, which was quite gelatinous and flavor packed. We chose potato bolani and the manti to start, and then chicken shawarma and the chicken thigh kebabs. A portion of potato bolani and manti would be plenty for two, but highly recommend order more to try (and pick things that will warm up well as leftovers!). Manti were tangy and addicting, and I loved the legume topping. Make sure to get chickpeas as a side for your meal--the texture will make you swear off canned chickpeas forever. Oh, and the flatbread for the kebabs! I'm familiar with the bread from Persian (Iranian) restaurants, and the cultural overlap is evident. Fabulously chewy but soft dough. Plastic bowls and paper plates add to the lunch counter charm. Staff couldn't be kinder and were very hospitable. Free tea by the register, even!
