They catered a wedding in Memphis and wow the food is so delicious. I cannot believe it. We immediately had to find out who it was because locally we can’t find food this yummy! The seekh kabob are so so so yummy. The chicken and tandoori chicken boti was delicious as well. Really nice staff and food was fresh and hot despite them traveling 4 hours to bring it to us!! Can’t wait to visit in person! I hope it’s just as good!

Fun place with two seating areas. Recently, I went to the second part, which is a little elevated than the entrance area. Nice food. I usually order a feast for two or four. Which contains falafel, hummus, eggplant, salad, chutney, and bread. Little more quantity than I prefer to consume but that's a good thing. I wish I know if they serve thin pita as well other than traditional Afghani bread. Very good price for the quantity and quality of food.

Some of the best Afghani food I've had. The eggplant appetizer is a must try, and the beef kubita kabob is amazing. The owner is clearly passionate about his food too, and that's always a good sign. You'll know that they'll keep their standards high there.

Food's so good, we're having them cater for my wedding!
