Pukhtun Afghan Cuisine is a local restaurant known for its appetizing and flavorful dishes. The menu offers a variety of options, with popular choices being the Mantu, a savory and slightly spicy dumpling with meat and lentils, and the Ashak, another savory meat-filled dumpling. The Vegetable Bolani, a thin and lightly crisp flatbread filled with potatoes, is a favorite among customers. The Lamb Gyro, with its super tender and perfectly spiced meat, and the Lamb Adana Wrap, known for its flavorsome taste, are also highly recommended.
The restaurant is praised for its consistently outstanding and well-cooked food, friendly service, and great value. The portions are substantial, with very fresh ingredients and are well-packaged for delivery. While the restaurant offers sit-down dining, it is said to be better for takeout.
The rice is described as being slightly sweet, which is traditional for Afghan pulao. The Chic or Lamb Adana kebabs and lamb chops are must-tries for a true Afghan experience. The Bang Bang Shrimp is a surprising addition, known for being crispy and delicious.
The only downside mentioned is that the food is so good, it is addicting and hard to stop ordering from the restaurant. Chicken dishes are said to be not as strong as their lamb and beef options.
