This is a place with a lot of history. It has been founded by the brother of president Hamid Karzai ( First post Taliban president in 2001 in Afghanistan). It used to be on Broadway. Food is always great. Atmosphere and design are ok. Very very friendly service. The hospitality experience is genuine and really represents how warm the afghani people are. They also have a very easy to navigate pick up menu- and of course also work with all the delivery services.

This place was amazing, from the food to the service. We ordered the mantwo, theeka kabab, sabzi, and baba ganoush. Everything was AMAZING, including the bread and sauces that he brought out before the appetizers. It was MORE than enough food for two and we left with plenty of leftovers. The man who worked there was so kind and friendly, asking us if this was our first time here (it was) and giving us recommendations about what to order and how to eat it for the best experience. The food came out fast and the server was attentive and genuinely nice. The restaurant was also really pleasant, with cool pictures on the wall and clean restrooms. Overall great experience, we’ll definitely be back!
