Exceptional flavors and ingredient combinations. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff, and excellent prices. I am only in San Francisco for 4 days and I might come back a second time because the food was so great. Well worth the visit!!!!!
Incredible and authentic food. Definitely try the Qabele, Kadoo, and Aushak. Reminds me of Helmand in Boston too - same exact menu.
Haitham and Marwa were extremely hospitable and nice!
I love this place!! Have been coming here since I was 16-17! Delicious food 😋

The owner, who started as a dishwasher, is a wonderful host, taking time to recommend dishes and explain ingredients. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including lamb, prime rib, and chicken options, with standout items like the QABELEE. The food is delicious, and the service is lovely and welcoming.
