It was our first visit here and we loved it. I got the chicken qorma. It was flavorful and nice. My wife had the chicken kebabs. They smelled delicious and tasted as good as they smelled. The sauces added so much flavor and variety! We also had garlic naan which was also good.

Folks— the reviews DO live up to the hype. Big bold flavors with tons of vegan options. Many delicious dipping sauces and the naan, on my goodness… it’s a MUST. Fries are good as well. Highly recommend.

100% will come back! The service was awesome and so helpful, and the food was just incredible. Honestly the chicken dashi is the way to go! If you want to go with the national dish of Afghanistan, qabili paura, our server said to try it with lamb. If you’re looking to try something new or looking to find a place with great flavors, I would strongly recommend coming here.

Mango yogurt is soooo good!!! And we have FREE refill of it! The combo with beef, chicken, and lamb is delicious. The meat is tender and the lamb is easy to get rid of the bone.

This place is really really good! If you like Naan this is the place. They are massive! We got the main Afghan dish with lamb and it was super tender and had amazing flavor.

I’m somewhat of a food critic and this was my first experience with Middle Eastern food. I love trying food from different cultures and this did not disappoint. WOW! The flavors were very well balanced, clearly made with fresh ingredients and love. The owner was one of the best parts. I was lucky enough to be the only one their so he was able to give outstanding service. I would imagine this same service and welcoming atmosphere would be the same when it is packed full. You absolutely must try.
