What an incredible experience. The dining room was quiet and well kept. The staff were all pleasant and wonderful to interact with. The food was the absolute star of the show. I've been to the Middle East numerous times during my Navy and merchant marine careers and this was among the best Middle Eastern food I've had!

The flavors!!! So fresh and beautiful. We've traveled to the middle east and seek out middle eastern food wherever we go and this is some of the best we've had. We loved it. We had the hummus, naan, dumplings, and kebabs. We plan on coming back. The staff was so kind and accommodating. Loved the gold black chairs and chandeliers.

First time enjoying delightful food from this beautiful restaurant. Ordered take out but next time I’ll definitely be dining in. The food was exquisite, staff was easy to talk to, and the ambiance was perfect. Not very many patrons but it was Halloween night. A quiet little gem tucked away in the city. Adding this to a routine location for good food. ? Thank you.

Never heard of this restaurant but saw it had a 4.9 review. I love Mediterranean and Persian food so thought I would give it a shot. We started with the Borani Banjan and Naan which was delicious. Could have stopped there and been totally satisfied. We continued and tried the Shami Kebab and Aushak, which were also very good. Aushak wasn’t my favorite but still very good. Service was good and the restaurant was spotless. Definitely worth a try if you are into Persian cuisine.

Honestly such a good place. I briefly went to heaven after tasting their chicken kabob, but everything is so good.

The food here was delicious! This was my first time having Afgan food and it did not disappoint. Abrahim was a wonderful waiter and was very kind. He recommended the Borani banjan and aushak. So good!

Love this place!!! I have never had Afghan food before this visit. It is my new favorite ❤️ Fresh herbs and spices top majority of the dishes. Two of us shared Aushak and Bolani. The food is very appealing to the eye and full of flavor. This place is definitely one of Idaho’s gems. Their service is amazing, the website is put together very well, with pictures of the different foods and descriptions. If you are looking to try something new and fresh, this is the place.

I will admit the place is a beautiful restaurant it looks like they spent a lot of money making it look beautiful on the inside but the funny thing is whenever I visit there's hardly anybody here. I went here a couple of times. My first wife was from Iran So I know a little about Iranian cooking, you would think they would have Ghormeh Sabzi on the menu which they don't. Which is the most popular dish in Iran. My friend ordered the lamb chops and I ordered two appetizers (hummus and tzatziki with some flatbread. I didn't get my food until my friend was halfway finished eating so that was a big disappointment. How hard is it to scoop some hummus and tzatziki onto a plate and serve it with the lamb chops? I won't be eating here anymore.

Excellent. Fresh, perfectly cooked. We’ll definitely be going back. There were 5 of us so we ate family style a were able to try 2 appetizers and 3 dishes. There are several non meat options. Everything was very good

Ordered for delivery - the Aushak I sadly can’t recommend. It says they’re vegetable dumplings but the filling appears to be just chopped herbs. It also appears to have lentils or something like that on top - which I don’t mind but it wasn’t in the description. I will try again another time in person because the food was fresh and fast
