My recent experience with this restaurant was really bad. I visited this place for dinner with a friend. We ordered an entree with a couple of sides. I asked the owner for a side of rice as the entree portion was really small. The man said, “What about if I get you the entire pot?” He really embarrassed me in front of my friend. This was very embarrassing. He cannot treat his customers this way.If you are planning to visit this place with a friend, date, guest, be very careful with the owner of this place. He looks nice at first glance, but he can get “rude” and embarrass you in front of others.I hope they learn how to treat their customers as we deserve good service because we pay and love to have peace of mind when having dinner with someone at a restaurant.I will never, ever visit this place any more.

The dude is very rude to their own afghans. The food is very expensive and you will get a very small portion. I don't recommend this place to anyone, especially afghans.

Just as excellent as we remember from 7+ years ago when we visited their Vienna location.Dietary restrictions: We didn't ask, but the dishes we had were not dairy free. I'm sensitive to dairy, but suffer the consequences every once and a while. I didn't ask for dairy free, so I cannot comment on their willingness to accommodate.Parking: It's a small lot. We went at 6 pm on a Saturday in the winter. I'll bet parking is tougher when the other venues (bar/brewery) have summer/outside crowds.Kid-friendliness: The whole restaurant has a family friendly vibe. Yes there is a bar that is visible, but we were in there the same time that there was a table of 12-ish people who came in with 3-5 kids and it seemed like the kids had no problem figuring out what to eat.Wheelchair accessibility: The establishment was at the parking lot level. There was no curb to hop or bollards to navigate. I cannot 100% comment on accessibility, but there is a sidewalk that existed on the whole path from the right side of the parking spots to all venues on the block.

Beer sales (brewery) I didn't try the food but I think you can bring food from outside, they aren't the big plates they have. The service was great, the guy who helped me was very friendly and made good suggestions, the atmosphere and atmosphere of the place were very friendly. During the time we were there, several couples with children arrived. There is a blackboard for drawing and many tables and tables outside for summer.

The food is delicious; I enjoyed everything I tried. The waitresses are professional too. However, I do wish they had a really good black loose-leaf tea.

We have been to the restaurant for the second time and we had a pleasant experience. They don't do reservations and will have to wait sometimes as they are very busy. We were seated at the bar tables until one table was free, then switched to the regular table. The food and service are great. It's a nice restaurant so try them out.

my first visit in decades. I called and asked if they could prpare a special family style dinner for a dozen people. They were very responsive even to the point of accommodating late change in numbers. The food was tasty, particularly the appetizers.House wine was excellent and the prices reasonable. Staff friendly and the setting, though modest, was excellent. Highly recommended

They take pride in their food and it shows.This is one of those fantastic hole in the wall gems I almost never come across. The food is rich and flavorful in a way that only a passionate expert can prepare. The atmosphere warmly invites me into what feels like another country and another time where I am visiting a dear friend. Beautiful just a Beautiful experience.
