Though not fully vegan, the wait staff and kitchen know what can be easily veganized and are more than happy to help you out. Enjoyed delicious dal and butternut squash as well as their veganized naan bread. Very happy customer!
May 2025
A good spot to try, with a menu offering limited vegetarian options. The food is enjoyable and reminiscent of Indian flavors, featuring dishes similar to "Rajma-Chawal," "Mango Lassi," and "Aloo Pakoda," though the spices have a distinct twist. The service was satisfactory, and I especially enjoyed the ambiance, which offered a unique glimpse into the culture.
October 2024
The place is not as clean as the previous photos show. The food taste is okay but not the greatest Afghan food I had before. However, if you look for something different, sure, this will satisfy.
