The best Kababs I've had in a very long time! I chose the Beef Kabab and the Chicken Kabab as part of Combo 1 and both were succulent and seasoned very well. I find it rare that anywhere can prepare chicken without drying it out, but this place succeeded and then some by cooking it perfectly! The rice with raisins and carrots had a fantastic flavor between cinnamon and cumin making it taste more like dessert to me. My husband got the lamb shawarma and it too was very flavorful and more than expected. The sauces are clearly something special, even though I thought the Bolani wasn't my favorite bite. The falafel was a wonderful appetizer and the flat bread that comes with the meals was crisp, soft, and perfect for the hummus. We split an order of Jalebi later that day because of being so happy with the meal. A lot of times it is too sweet, but this was great! It was sticky, chewy, and better than other places. I do wish they offered more than two desserts when we went. If you want fancy settings and high end atmosphere, I'd look elsewhere. But for food as clearly the focus I couldn't have been happier! We will Definitely be going back!

The food was not fresh. The burger patty tastes like frozen food patty. I have ordered two chai and they haven't delivered.

We just had a delicious dinner. Can't wait to go back. The falafel was excellent. We had two vegetarian appetizers. Also the very best.

Great place for lamb chop, lamb and chicken kebabs. I have not had a bad meal here and I have eaten here a lot.

Combo ground beef kebab with ground chicken kebab ( they call it minced rather than ground). Ground beef kebab tasted better than ground chicken kebab. Beef kebab also wasn't falling apart like chicken kebab was. Kebabs were served with sela rice which was pretty good. Would have tasted better if they served it hot. Ordered two beef samosas which are deep fried. Tastewise okay, better with hot sauce. I like Punjabi samosas best. Tried watermelon strawberry juice from cooler which was good. Waiter provided good service and was helpful explaining certain menu items. Restaurant is clean and has good atmosphere.

Tried the tandoori chicken platter and gyro platter. Both had amazing flavors. All the sauces are homemade and were so good. Tried one of the Turkish sodas too, lots to choose from. Overall was a great meal

Very good food, and friendly people.

Good authentic takes on Afghani food. This is Central Asian food, not Middle-Eastern as many adventurous americans mistake regions for. That being said, I've had Afghani food near Afghanistan (pulaow, lamb boti, naan) and their flavors are reminiscent of cuisine from that region. The Roasted Lamb is authentic Afghani Pulaow - raisins, carrots, rice, and slow-cooked lamb - savory, sweet and fragrant. Try some today! Save a 7000 mile trip!

This was our first time ordering and we loved it. W had chicken gyros, shawarma and chicken tandoori. Everything was fantastic! Will definitely be going back for more take out.

Literally the best restaurant I’ve eaten from and so close to home! We try different restaurants but keep coming back here. Management and staff are so incredibly kind and accommodating. They recently contributed to our non profit summer camp efforts to feed the poor in Allentown. Their Philly cheesesteaks (I ask for a little spicy)hands down, beat any cheesesteak I’ve had (even from Philly)! Love the mixed platter and chicken Kabab platter with carrots and raisins as well.

Great flavors and freshness. Loved it. Highly recommended beef cheesesteak, lamb rice and Bolani.

A gem that I recently discovered. They truly have very scrumptious kebabs. I didn't take a picture because we got excited to eat it. I got the lamb kebab and bf got the beef one. Very flavorful. It was a takeout but the person on the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We also ordered bolani and baba ganoush (doesn't have Tahini like in Turkish or Syrian ones) but was exceptionally smokey, which was amazing. Another one that will be revisited frequently
