One of the best Lamb shank and rice dishes that we have ever purchased in a restaurant setting. Clean dining area and friendly staff. Affordable prices. Very happy learning more about the Afghan culture through cuisine.

Came at around closing time yesterday, maybe 30 minutes before they closed. The guy was very professional and let us dine in as we were traveling. Unlike other restaurants where, at the time of night, they just heat food, this wasn't the case here. They prepared the food fresh and it was perfect. Hands down one of the best food I have ever tried ever. The chapli kababs were perfectly seasoned. 100 points for both food and customer service!

Note: the menu link on google is not to this place.I have a nut allergy and they took very good care of me.Amazing food.We started off with Shir-chai (milk teal this was sweet and creamy, rich, black tea.Their dumplings Mantu were meaty but still light. Very tasty and usual.For the mains we shared a mix kabob combo and Dopyeza.The meat was tender and seasoned amazingly. The Dopyesa had the out tender delish hunks of lamb.This was all plenty of food for 4 people with the large portion sizes.I can't wait to try everything else!Dietary restrictions: Nut free options! They take it seriously

If you're reading reviews to help make your decision to try this place, stop reading and try! I recommend the mantu and fried eggplant! I regret not getting the baklava. I can't wait to try more of their dishes! Also the service was amazing!

We catered for our wedding and it was wonderful! My husband comes from Afghan heritage and it tasted just like home cooking. Everyone loved it and we love to go back. The owner is a delight as well and helps you if you're unsure what to order

The food is absolutely delicious and the service amazing. Their chicken is so flavourful and juicy and the baklava is perfectly made. I would definitely recommend this (for families too) and come back to this place. 10/10 ??

Amazing cuisine, so flavorful and the meats were all so tender and delicious. I took one star away from the atmosphere because I couldn't find the light switch in the bathroom anywhere Lol. This will be a new favorite cultural food choice!

I've NEVER had afghan food before, and this place is AMAZING!! Everything is cooked from scratch and fresh DAILY. The owner was so kind and service was fast and quite pleasant! We also bought some things from the store next door and I was shocked at how little money we spent for so many things we got! GREAT prices, OUTSTANDING food and overall WONDERFUL people! we cannot wait to be there for the Opening of their second restaurant in January. If you haven't stopped in to try some of their amazing foods, you are truly missing out!!
