This Afghan restaurant delivered one of the warmest meals I’ve had in a while. The qabuli was tender and aromatic, with raisins adding subtle sweetness, and the mantu tasted delicate yet rich. The staff were attentive in a genuine way that made the experience feel personal. A comforting dinner that felt both homemade and thoughtfully prepared.

This place was INSANELY GOOD. 10/10 would come back. Mantoo was ridiculously delicious, the koobideh kabob was tasty. Their doogh is homemade and it's nice and thin and perfectly tangy. So delicious.

The workers are nice and polite. Can't wait to come back!! God bless this establishment inshallah!!

The food was really good for sure, service was excellent, ambience we shouldn’t be looking for at these kind of small eateries but still good for the location. We ordered beef chapali kebab which was excellent, triple chicken kebab was good too but beef chapali was more flavorful compared to this. Chicken kofta curry was a good option to try but wasn’t up to the mark. Rice served with it was flavorful and the fresh bread was hard to resist. Fries are a must try being crunchy...
