What customers say?

“ Ordered pickup here after another local restaurant was closed - glad I made the decision to try this spot - food was warm even when I drove home! I got the triple combination- the chicken was so soft that it literally melts with a bite... the beef was delicious and fresh and the chapli kabob had perfect seasoning - overall 5/5 ”

“ Amazing food, quaint family owned. They were very accommodating to my son's gluten allergy, making a special batch of spinach for him to make sure he was safe. Delicious food, kind people. 100% recommend. ”

“ Amazing quality food and great place to visit for authentic Afghan kabobs. Ignore the 1-star reviews talking about portion sizes. This is a gourmet restaurant. You should be coming here for high-quality, not large McDonald-size quantity that some people want. I recommend chapli kabobs and bolani on the side. The staff was very attentive during our visit and created a welcoming atmosphere for our family. There's also a 100+ year old Afghan door that you can see!!! ”

“ Here's a review of what we got: * borani banjan - eggplant appetizer which was good but not particularly remarkable * triple kabob - since we haven't eaten here in years, we decided to order this to sample their kabobs. Chicken was our favorite followed by the rightfully famous chaplee kabob with beef not only being the least favorite but a mental note not to order again * dough drink - always good * sheer chai - absolutely delicious and btw, I'm not a fan of chai so this says a lot Overall, we'll definitely be back again to try other menu items! ”
