“Okay... so I've been trying to find the best afghan food and it's been a struggle. I also don't have much to compare it to but at the same time I know what good food is and let me tell you.... THIS IS IT. It's cool because it's casual vibes. They give everything to you in a to go box so that's interesting, although they have seating for you. I got the beef bargh, chicken tikka and the lamb chops with my party. And omg the only thing they are missing are mantoos! But I am willing to drive from Astoria for this place so that says it all. It was SO SO good. I took my leftovers home and immediately devoured it and followed my meal with a food coma. Certainly want to gate keep this place but they deserve the recognition.“
“This establishment is truly wonderful; the food was not only delicious but also served promptly. The young lady at the front desk welcomed us warmly and was incredibly courteous throughout our visit. Moreover, the owner took the time to personally connect with us, ensuring that everything met our expectations.Our experience was nothing short of awesome. Every aspect of our visit, from the delicious food to the attentive service, made for a memorable time. Will visit again and recommend it to others as well.“
“I'm very happy I came here. The chicken that came with my chicken over rice was very flavorful & rich tasting. It was better than the chicken over rice plates I've gotten from other places in the area.The people behind the counter were also super nice & friendly. I would recommend coming here ?Vegetarian options: You can get falafel instead of meat options.“
“This place is a hidden gem under new management food is excellent and husband and wife owners are very pleasent and respectful. Authentic afghan food from herat. Food is always freshly prepared and delivered quick. This review pertains to samovar it has since changed under new ownership not good as before.“
“Came here by accident and it was the best decision my family and I made! SARA IS THE BEST!!! Great server, she made awesome food suggestions (our family and I had the dumplings, the tres leches and it was delicious), and overall made the atmosphere and the food a wonderful experience since she was so pleasant! As for the food the meat is absolutely tender—I mean falling off the bone, and you can tell that everything was made extremely fresh! I’d come here every day if I could! It is definitely a place to bring your family to.“
“The food is great. Always get the Qabuli. The meat is always cooked to perfection and moist. Service is great. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to dilute the fabuloso cleaning solution with more water so the place doesn’t smell like chemicals while dining-in. Everything looks super clean though! Don’t think twice and place your order!“
“I was so happy with this food I was talking about it for a few days. All of the dishes I ordered were delicious and full of spices and flavor. If you have never tried Afghan food, I suggest you try it soon. Restaurant is quite roomy with two eating areas and a bar area in the middle. The young man who served us was extremely pleasant and helpful.“
“Great spot for late night takeout Afghan food.I found out that this place is open until 2 am most nights, so that was a pleasant surprise. I got an order of mantoo, bolani, and a combo to go for dinner.The mantoo had great tender dumplings with a tender meat filling. The flavor had a small spice to it, which was unique and tasty for sure.The bolani was very crispy and flavorful. The potato inside was seasoned and cooked to a great consistency. The pastry was a little too greasy for my liking, but I just patted it down with some paper.The combo was huge for the price. 3 large kebabs in total with chicken tikka, lamb Tikka, and beef kofta. The lamb was the winner of the 3. Ultra tender and so much flavor. The chicken was on the drier side, but the large cup of sauce made up for that. As far as beef kofta goes, this was decent. It's hard for me to rate kofta accurately because I prefer tikka.Overall, I was very satisfied with a good meal. I know for sure I'll be coming back for some late night food. Also, I had leftovers, and they reheated very well.Parking: Pretty much just street parking. I believe the lot belongs to dunkin.“
“We travel about 2 hours(round trip) to eat at Choopan of Hicksville. The food is so good. Fresh, homemade. We always order a lot of food to bring home and freeze. The food heats up perfectly.We have Ordered basically everything on the menu. Best Hummus and Nan.“
“A clean setting and prompt friendly service. It was lunch time and we were the only table with guests. The fact it's Ramadan definitely contributed. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. Did I say that the outfit is not Sami's kebab anymore; it changed hands and changed its name two years ago according to the waiter.“
