Mantu Afghan Persian Cuisine

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. Portions so big I was sure there was a mistake. If they ever go out of business, I’m moving out of this city

I recently visited Mantu Afghan Cuisine and absolutely loved the experience! The food was full of authentic Afghan flavor — especially the mantu, which were soft, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a delicious yogurt and meat sauce. Every dish tasted fresh and homemade.

The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The portions were generous for the price, and the presentation was beautiful.

If you’re craving traditional Afghan food or want to try something new, I highly recommend Mantu Afghan Cuisine. It’s definitely one of the best Afghan restaurants I’ve been to!

The staff are kind, welcoming, and always make you feel at home, you can sense the pride they take in their food and culture. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates delicious, soulful meals made with love.

I ordered from here for the first time through Uber Eats, and the food was so delicious. I ordered mantu & aushak.. everything was still warm, and really well made. That first experience made me excited to visit in person.

When we came to dine in, the food was still tasty, but I was a bit disappointed this time. There were lots of fruit flies flying around our faces and on my food… I personally got really annoyed by this. But the biggest disappointment was the mantu came out cold!! We were really hungry and didn’t want to complain because we just wanted to eat, but it definitely wasn’t the same quality as my first order.

I’d still give them another try because the food itself is great hopefully just an off day for the dine-in experience but I think it’s better to order out.

Very good food. And excellent service. Must try.

This place is an absolute standout. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fresh and inviting—definitely feels like a new spot that’s already found its groove. The service was warm and attentive, but the real star here is the food. We sampled several dishes, and every single one was a hit. Bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and clearly crafted with care.

It’s the kind of place you want to tell your friends about before it gets too popular. The only minor hiccup? No liquor license yet—but honestly, the food more than makes up for it. Whether you're going with family, friends, or on a casual date night, this spot delivers. Highly recommend checking it out before the word gets out!

The food at Mantu Afghan Persian Cuisine was genuinely delicious. Unfortunately, the experience was completely overshadowed by the service, which was truly the worst I’ve encountered in a long time.
We waited approximately two hours and still didn’t receive all of our food. When we politely raised the issue, the server (who may have been the owner) responded with unnecessary attitude, blaming us for the delay and claiming we hadn’t ordered correctly — which simply wasn’t true. One of my friends was even threatened when he complained about the long wait.
I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. I would have gladly returned for the food, but after being treated so poorly, I won’t be going back — and I wouldn’t recommend it to others based on service alone.

I have only ordered through food apps, so can't speak to the atmosphere- but this is wonderfully delicious food and amazing prices.I order here often and the one time there was a mistake with my order theyediately went above and beyond to make it right. One thing I love is that I always have enough food for leftovers. If you're thinking of trying this out- you won't regret it. Mmmm mmm. 🩵
