experience. The food was absolutely delicious — rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish, from the tender kebabs to the fragrant rice and freshly baked naan, was a delight. The service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both amazing food and great service so consistently. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

We were a group of. Four who had never had Afghani cuisine before! The owner was kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable with getting us the food to give us a fantastic first impression! Thoroughly enjoyed the family environment and would recommend to anyone new or experienced with Afghani cuisine!

It’s a family owned business. Food is authentic and very tasty! We ordered bolani and a chicken kebab. Bolani reminded us of a aloo k paratha in India, it was crispy outside, with an aromatic potato filling. Chicken kebab was tender and was very fresh.

I honestly love this Afghan restaurant. The food is always so flavorful , you can really taste the spices in every bite. The meat is cooked to perfection every single time. I always order the chapli kabob with rice — it never disappoints. The lady who works there is super sweet and kind. The vibe inside the restaurant is cozy and welcoming. It’s one of those places you just keep coming back to.

First time trying Afghan food. Liked chicken kabobs. But wish the yogurt was more Greek food or Indian food base. I wanted more flavor to the dish. A lot of rice....liked Mantoo. Next time, will order entrée size Mantoo.
