“It is the BEST hotel that I have ever been to in California.

I will for sure go to this restaurant again and again.“

“Food is always great, hot and freshly made. Awesome portion sizes and really friendly and accommodating staff. Their mango lassi is bomb and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. 100% recommend!“

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.“

“The lamb in qabili palaw was tender and could be cut with fork. The curry was spicy but not over the top. All dishes well seasoned and attractively arranged even though takeout. The long grain rice and bread were also very tasty.“

“I never been there, but it any place that makes gyros with lamb is awesome“

“delicious food and good customer service“

“Food was delicious and authentic. Spices were on point, chicken was tender and juicy, samosas were spiced with great thought and care. Presentation was delightful. Interior was a bit clashy since it had look of old location mixed with new designs. Seats looked like they came from a wedding. Chandelier was missing 3-4 beads so looked off-putting. Window curtains were too flashy would be better with rolling blinds. Decorations did not have an appeal. A mural done by a local middle eastern college student could really showcase better. Wood paneling needs to go along with booths since they looked old and worn-down. Buffet food looked delicious, but needs a sneeze guard. Cashier table was in the back with unused buffet area and too much cluttering of tables. Dirty dishes in a tub should never be visible or left next to buffet. Salad should be on top of a bed of ice to ensure temp. Clutter at cash register needs to be out of sight. Spiced tea was delicious along with serving of water. Floor was clean though could use a buffering. Wiring visible and signs old and not mounted properly. Foiled upper design was interesting. 3 TV's mounted that were too close together and not being used. Lights changing too fast and blinking giving more of a party vibe than a restaurant. Beautiful couch but with leg missing in a corner was not necessary. Speakers should be put away until their use. Lots of improvement needed for front interior, but with the food being delicious and mouthwatering, I will definitely come back hungry for more.“

“Wow ! Very professional and nice atmosphere, very nice owner. They make sure to make it just right. We traveled from San Diego with our family and came here to eat, delicious food . They take very well care of their customers. Great customer service . The customer service is above and beyond. Thank you.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the Rancho Cordova/Folsom area. I’ve tried most of the Persian and Afghan restaurants in the area and this is my favorite. The mantu dumplings amazing 🔥🔥🔥 The lamb chops are perfectly seasoned and cooked every time, the beef kabobs are tender and packed with flavor, and the chicken biryani is rich, aromatic, and balanced. The naan is fresh, warm, and some of the best I’ve had. The white/green/red sauces are incredible and ties everything together. On top of the food, the service is consistently top tier —
attentive, welcoming, and professional. Highly recommend.“

“The owner is a friend of mine and having been to Afghanistan I can assure that the food is authentic, delicious and the atmosphere very hospitable.“

“I have been a regular at Watan Halal Market and they never disappoint! Their fresh calf meat is always top quality, clean, tender and perfect for cooking. The meat I recently bought (pictured below) is a great example of the freshness and care they put into their products. We have also tried several local pizza places, including Twist, but my kids always prefer Watan’s pizza. It’s flavorful, well made, and perfect for family nights. Highly recommend Watan Halal Market for both your halal meat needs and a delicious pizza treat!“

“I don't know, some food is amazing like the Donair, however the falafel was so old, maybe made in the morning. Do not re heat falafel it's nowhere near as good, cmon man. Shop was also randomly closed today with no warning. Please use Google maps to update your hours and closing/opening times. And post it for people. This can be a very successful restaurant if managed properly. Best of luck to you and your family. I will be back for the kabobs.“

“Alhamdulilah good food and friendly staff“

“Fresh Medi’s banquet hall is stunning. It’s beautiful and bright, allowing the space to be magically transformed. The hospitality and service from the team here is top notch. We can’t wait to create here again at this stunning venue ✨“

“The ice cream here is unbelievably creamy and full of real flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because every scoop tastes fresh and natural. The staff is friendly, and the shop always feels clean and inviting. Highly recommended!”“

“Afghan Fiji on 5950 Florin Rd in Sacramento is truly a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality that I immediately felt at home. The atmosphere is inviting, clean, and full of positive energy — a perfect place to relax and enjoy an amazing meal.

The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was rich in authentic Afghan flavor, perfectly seasoned, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything is prepared with care and passion.

The entertainment and overall vibe make the experience even more special. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s an experience. The atmosphere brings culture, comfort, and joy together in such a beautiful way.

And the chef deserves special recognition. He is not only incredibly talented, but also one of the kindest and most humble people you’ll meet. You can feel his love for cooking and his respect for guests through his amazing food and warm personality. He personally made the experience unforgettable for me.

If you are looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, exceptional service, high quality food, and a welcoming environment, Afghan Fiji is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again and again!

Thank you for such a wonderful experience!“
