First time here. Amazing experience. Obviously off hours so the quiet peaceful dining Ambience was a real treat. Excellent and amazing food. I had the Afghan meatballs with spectacular rice and potatoes. The pudding for dessert with pistachios on top was also truly excellent. This restaurant is very clean and carries a lot of class. Bathrooms were very nice. Convenient location in El Dorado Hills. Parking may be challenging during busy times. Definitely enjoyed the food and overall experience and we’ll plan on visiting again one day. Highly recommended.

Yeahoo Whoyah
Bamiyan Afghan restaurant wasn’t as good as I’d hoped it would be. It’s been a few years since I was there last. This time was on a Monday after calling at 7pm to see if I bring my 11 pound dog LuLu. Yes this is a dog friendly establishment so plus 1⭐️. Our party of four were the only customers on this pleasantly cool June evening. Waiter was pleasant but service was subpar since he didn’t return to check on us after our food arrived. If he’d returned we would have ordered more beers! I don’t recall having our water glass refilled. Food is spicy ️ which pleased me but not my wife who ordered Saffron Shrimp. I had the Combination Shish Kebab and we both had Kabeli Palow Rice and Sautéed Spinach. Rice was delicious. My daughter and her boyfriend each had the Vegetarian Platter Dinner. She like the spicy ️ flavor but her boyfriend didn’t comment but the look on his face told me he wasn’t a fan. My Shish Kabab was dry and would have benefited from a sauce or something similar. My daughter raved about her food and she’d rate it 5⭐️. My wife would say 2⭐️. Since I’m writing so my 3⭐️ prevails. When leaving we noticed a change of ownership notice taped to the front glass. It was dated April 2023. So it appears the new crew has some rough spots to correct.

The food was delicious, well-portioned and we got it very quickly! I was worried when I read some of the reviews, but we decided to try it and I’m so glad we did! The pumpkin purée and little dumplings were definitely the highlight. So good together!

Very nice restaurant with excellent customer service, delicious food, ambiance, and nice decor. The owners Nangela and Mussa were very hospitable. They explained the Saffron farm which they sponsor in Afghanistan called @Silk Road Saffron. Reasonably priced and organic. Will definitely go back when I return to Sacramento and try their other dishes. Highly recommend

First time here and we were all very impressed. Loved the mantoo, Patak and chaplee kebab which came with sauteed spinach and okra. Patak was very spicy but fantastic. I look forward to coming again. Highly recommend

I’ve been coming to Bamiyan for a few years. The food was delicious but the service was always slow. Now the service is non existent and the food is mediocre. It took 30 minutes to get a glass of wine and a soda. My husband had to call the waiter over to take our order. Half hour later my dish was lukewarm and my husband’s chicken dish was a tiny portion. While we waited two tables left due to no service – they got water but not even a menu for at least half an hour. Not going back….
