Authentic cuisine and friendly service! Definitely try the buffet your first time to get an idea of their flavor profile, and then experiment with menu items from there. They also have complimentary tea service upon

What a fun experience to try out a new cuisine. The food was flavorful and different from most cuisines I've tried. The staff were very friendly, but you could tell we might have arrived early. We were the first people there other than what looked like either family or friends of the owners eating at another table. Once we received our menus and started looking over them, it was difficult to decide what to order. However, the waiter came over and suggested the buffet so you could try everything. We took him up on it and enjoyed quite a variety of healthy Afghan cuisine. The only strange part to the experience is that they are currently sharing space with another restaurant that operates on different days and times and the decor is theirs (antique Americano). I will definitely return to try a specific dish next time.

The lamb was amazing! I really enjoyed trying this place and will eat here again soon!

Nice to try something other than American food, especially after a holiday. Chicken, rice, okra, chickpeas and dumplings were good. A piece of bavlava was a good way to finish off the buffet.

Tried Afghan food for the first time. Very good. Waiter was very helpful with our choices for the tasting plate. Atmosphere vibe is a bit odd due to the building being an established restaurant with a more of a country style feel that is used at night for the Afghan restaurant. Very unique situation but very uplifting to read about. Do not see a 5 choice tasting plate listed but that is what we had.

Our experience at Pamir was fantastic. It was a little piece of Afghanistan in Owensboro. The music and dancing really added to the fun.We went on a buffet night, and we were able to sample it all! We liked everything that we tried. Even my kids enjoyed it.The staff members were very kind and willing to answer any questions.

4 of us went for dinner and were very disappointed. The buffet looked picked over. I had been assured through a FB message before we went that they could accomodate my gluten allergy. When I asked my server what on the buffet or menu was gluten-free he didn't know what I meant and he didn't offer to get anyone who could help. When i ordered off the menu--murgh biryani-- it was supposed to have 4 pieces of chicken, fries and salad. I had to ask for 2 of the 4 pieces of chicken and the salad. My husband ordered off the menu also and his meal came out without the salad. The food was mediocre--lacking in flavour with no type of presentation. Our food didn't come out together. We had to get up and find our server to get our check. Not the pleasant dining experience I was looking forward to.

The food is so amazing that I am literally typing this while eating. I walked in to grab to go and the music was live! Don’t go if you don’t like to have fun bc it is upbeat and alive! Y’all, the food… so fresh. Tasted amazinggg. No complaints. I wish I didn’t grab to go so I could get more! I am so pleased and can not wait to take my family and friends back to this place!

I don’t like trying new food, but went to this restaurant and was a little nervous to branch out. This place truly has the best food I have eaten in a while. It was extremely fresh and clean. I recommend if your on the fence about trying it to go!!

I went on a special night where they had a buffet so you could sample more of the menu. I enjoyed everything I tried and will definitely return! The owners and everyone working are very nice too.

Amazing food, amazing service. Absolutely could eat here everyday! I hope they can find a permanent place to where they can open up during the week!

Excellent. Absolutely delicious. The service was extremely quick, friendly, and helpful. I've been here 3 times in 2 weeks. This will be one of my regular spots. If you like Indian food, this is a bit milder. If you're not sure what to order, they have sample plates you can choose to try up to 3 entrees. I've had everything on the menu and everything has been extraordinary. Vegetarian options I believe are available. The attire isn't strict, you'd be fine in shorts and tee shirt.
