Went there for dinner today for first time and I loved it. Cozy place, great service and owner is very nice and friendly. They’ve been in business for 6 years at this location now. Great place in falls church to go for lunch or dinner and have a drink because they have a full bar and good selection of wines. Perfect place to go with family and friends or date night dinner. I highly recommend it.

My friend took me to Panjshir Restaurant in the City of Falls Church for lunch. The Afghan cuisine had yummy, new tastes with many options for me, a vegan. My friend, an omnivore, declared the lamb in her dish, delicious. We enjoyed Cardamom tea, and I asked about the exceptionally long grain rice that turned out to be “Mother Rice” from the Himalayan Mtns. Prices were reasonable but portions were huge; thus we both took home a second meal for one price! The authentic decor is also elegant, and it wasn’t crowded, though we came at the end of lunch. If you seek a rare gem among restaurants, you’ll find it in Panjshir!

Ah-maaaa-zingg!!! Super flavorful and delicious food. Generous portions and heavenly combinations keep us coming back for more. The lamb is so tender it’s surreal. Give this wonderful restaurant a try and you’ll be raving about their food too. Ample seating and beautiful decor abound, the bar is well stocked and the service is efficient and friendly.

The neighborhood gem in Falls Church, VA is one of my favorite restaurants. It’s authentic Afghan food, so delicious and fresh. I like to try a variety of things when dining there, and Matt the owner, is so attentive and hospitable. Be sure to check it out next time your near Falls Church. It’s located across from the actual Falls Church from circa 1732 at 114 East Fairfax Street. They also have a full bar.

Food was average. The service was average. While we were eating we had the restaurant owner’s kid running around which was very disruptive. I finished my meal but my partner did not want to have it all. Had to add the green chutney to the entrees to give it more flavor.

This place is a hidden gem. Food is excellent, service good and friendly, the room is quiet enough to actually have a conversation with whomever you are dining with without shouting. Hate to tell about it for fear it will get too crowded . Vegetarian and carnivore alike will find a delicious meal.

Amazing food, amazing service! My partner and I have had Afghan food before and this was the best restaurant we’ve been to overall. My family came and it was their first time having Afghan food. They loved it! They had lots of variety in their entrees

Invited to a friend’s birthday dinner here. Apparently they are regulars, and I can see why. I tasted 5 of the vegetarian options – all were quite delicious! Even the salad was very tasty with the flavorful house dressing, and the bread was a yummy complement to the rest of the meal. Will definitely eat here again!
