This food is so great! Love it. It has gluten free naan and most of the dishes feel fresh and light. Love the fries and everything I have tried. Much better than the alternatives. They get all our eating out money. The staff is so nice too. Wonderful place to eat!

We stopped in here after having our interest in Afghan food piqued a few weeks ago. It was absolutely amazing. The most delicious thing (I'm not kidding) is the white sauce. We got a trio sampler platter with falafel, borani banjan, bolagni. They were all delicious and the falafel and bolagni were fried to perfection-- light, but with that wonderful fried taste. It tasted like it was fried in fresh oil too. My bf got the beef/lamb kofta plate which came over perfectly-cooked long grain rice and some naan. The rice was seasoned well, but the naan kind of tasted like a tortilla from chipotle? Idk. It was still good with the white sauce (aha!). Overall delicious. We will be back. OMG ALSO. GET THE BAKLAVA. It was lovely.

I'm from out of town and the food was amazing and so was the staff. we ordered takeout through grub hub and they forgot a dressing for our salad but immediately replaced it and gave us extra. The food was fresh and their sauce is amazing!
Delicious Afghan food. Kabobs and other dishes are made with chicken, beef and lamb, lightly seasoned and flavorful. We enjoyed the falafel and baba ganoush with naan and naan chips, which we also dipped in a yogurt dill sauce. I hope to try some of the desserts next time, since they sound delicious!

If you enjoy kabobs, falafel, naan, baba ganoush, homemade hummus, and other tasty Afghan cuisine, you'll love this place. They offer beef, lamb and chicken dishes that are nicely spiced, and a delicious yogurt dill sauce for dipping or salads. I have not tried the desserts yet, but they look great.

Tried the falafel rice platter. It was freshly made and delicious. The to-go packaging was good and ideal for current times. It was very first time and I will be back..
