Clean, well lit, friendly and knowledgeable servers. Wonderful vegetarian/vegan options. Good food, flavors well balanced, textures smooth, well prepared and beautifully presented. Really good rice!! If I liked cilantro, which was in an optional side dip, I would have loved every single bite. Great stuffed baklava and goatcheesecake dessert. Wine and beer menu too.
We loved the cozy atmosphere, comforting and delicious food, and kind, welcoming staff members. We enjoyed the Aushak and pumpkin for apps, Kabouli pallow and lamb lawand for entrees, and afghani ice cream for dessert. Already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you!!
