Tried Afghan cuisine for the first time and it was a total game-changer! Forgive me for not knowing the exact dish names, but they’re all must-tries. Especially this lamb dish, stewed to perfection. Don’t miss out on their unique dips – hard to describe, but oh-so-delicious. And if you’ve got room, their desserts offer a flavour explosion that’s out of this world! Heads up, it gets packed around 6ish but clears out by 8. So, dodge the peak hours if you can!

The food here tastes amazing! The flavors are very intricate and taste a lot like indian food as there’s a heavy overlap. The only thing I didn’t like is their portion size and their price (was a little steep)! I got the chicken aracosia stew which is essentially chicken curry but the portion size was too small for that price . They give complimentary bread with three different dips!

The lamb shank and veal were super delicious. Lentils were creamy and delicious. The pistachio cake was my favorite. Highly recommend. Only little issue was that they sent wrong dishes to our table and took them way at the beginning. We will likely to visit again.

This place is very highly rated, and it’s understandably so! The restaurant has really lovely decor and feels cozy and warm. The food was also delicious — the dumplings were fantastic (we’d ordered the sampler), and all the entrees were so good! We ordered the chicken korma and mushroom kebab, and both were great. So many good things on the menu, we’re sure to return.

Great restaurant, tons of seating but you have to make reservations in advance specially if you are going in with big party. Their veggie dishes are my favorite and I also love their Mantu (beef dumplings). It did have too much black pepper in some dishes which I don’t prefer but overall great experience
