Great yummy food. I stopped by for a quick lunch and it was just delicious. I had lentil soup and the grilled platter. You can tell it’s fresh and good ingredients. Definitely I’ll stop by again for dinner.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. We tried the taste menu and also had some dumplings and tasty bread. The mango cocktail was a good, sweet cocktail. Black tea was also a nice beverage.

I visited Bistro Aracosia last night (January 29, 2023) because this family-owned Afghani restaurant recently added a two-page VEGAN menu. Wow! Their vegan food is delicious. Rich, filling, and perfectly spiced. They even offer vegan savory yogurt. The ambiance is warm and inviting. The service was excellent, including from the owner’s daughter who seated us.

My family loves going here. It has a cozy atmosphere. The bread and dips appetizer is delicious. I got the spicy beef dumplings which were delicious. It’s a very full menu so there’s so many great options. The only reason for the 4 vs 5 stars is that it took about 20 min for us to get seated even though we were on time for our reservation. Still highly recommend this place!

My new favorite restaurant. The spices are rich, balanced, superb. All dishes were perfectly executed. The service was lovely. All at an awkward time of day (2pm on a Saturday). A+!

We had the full sampler meal. The food is so rich, flavorful, words can’t even describe it. Was an adventure from start to end. They clearly know how to use their spices and also use the freshest, highest quality ingredients. Atmosphere was amazing too with live traditional music. So good that it had me reading about Afghan culture for an hour after. A true cultural experience. Highly recommend!!!

It’s a fine dining place requiring reservations on most days. We were in town and could luckily get a table.

Delicious food, amazing wait staff and just overall fabulous hospitality. The dumplings were scrumptious, especially the pumpkin dumplings if you like something a bit sweet. I haven’t tasted meat as succulent as I did with the lamb and beef platter. Very attentive staff overall. As you can tell, I most definitely recommend a visit. I’ll certainly be going back!!

A wonderful warm welcoming restaurant with exceptional food! From the moment we were greeted by our amazing waiter Zak until dessert was delivered with a candle and a very sweet message on the plate every aspect of our meal was perfection! I would highly recommend trying any of the dumplings and the vegetarian plate was fabulous! Any of the lamb dishes are delicious. Thank you Bistro Aracosia for always exceeding our expectations!
