Afghan Restaurants in St. Louis, MO

“This place is incredible. Uma and her staff are so sweet, and the food is OUTSTANDING and incredibly delicious. Do not sleep on this spot! The Eggplant Bandinjan is phenomenal and so tender, with a pinch of yogurt and mince to finish it off and brighten the dish. The mantu, tender dumpling stuffed with ground seasoned beef, carrot, and onion, topped with yellow lentils, yogurt sauce and mint and parsley… Words cannot describe the culinary experience. The chicken kebab is by far, and hands-down, the best kebab I have had in St. Louis. It is robustly seasoned to perfection, grilled to perfection, succulent, tender and juicy. I have also had the tikka masala, lamb kabob, and beef kabob- all are excellent. Don’t forget dessert!“

“The lamb shank here is an absolute 5/5 perfectly tender, packed with flavor, and just falls right off the bone. This Afghan spot absolutely nails the food, and it’s easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a minute. If you come here, you have to get the shank.“
