Parking at this location is quite difficult, and I was concerned about the risk of my vehicle being towed. The reception was not very welcoming, and there was only one waitress serving all the guests, which seemed insufficient—especially during the busy Iftar time in Ramadan. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations given the price we paid.

This restaurant requires a skilled chef to first be familiar with the name and recipe of the food.

I DONT recommend this restaurant because they have very bad manners but the food was good but the kebab was very small and their ranch taste like nothing and looks like they put water then put something else and when I just said can I get napkins and they got angry and they were mean to a 9 year old because he asked for some straws

I visited Timorian before when it had the previous owner, and I recently came back after the new management took over. I can honestly say there is a big difference. The new owner, Abdul Bari, and the staff were very welcoming and kind, and the customer service was excellent. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere felt much nicer. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. You can really tell the new management cares about quality and about their customers. I know there are older reviews from before, but the restaurant now has new ownership and truly deserves another chance. I definitely recommend people come try the food and experience the improvements themselves!

If you’re craving authentic Afghan home-cooked meals, this is the place to be no question about it. It feels like my own mother is preparing the dishes, making it an absolute must visit compared to other Afghan restaurants.

Parking is free for 2 hours via pango app. Lamb and ground beef are delicious, as well as all of the complimentary sides. Will have to order the ice cream next time. Was given a sample, and it was lovely with a cardamom flavor.

Absolutely horrible service went 2 times, once with a group I was like ok maybe they had a bad day, second time I had a pick up they placed the order all the way on the other side of the table for me to walk over and grab when I was right there to hand to and I don’t even want to start on the food.

Honestly, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.
The staff’s attitude was cold and disrespectful. There was no sense of welcome at all — it felt like being a customer was a problem. There is also no proper parking available, and it’s unclear where customers are supposed to park.
The biggest issue, however, was the food quality. The bread was dry and burnt. The rice was bland, without salt, and not even properly cooked. The kebab was overloaded with spices to the point that you couldn’t even taste the meat. The mantu was falling apart and completely tasteless — we honestly lost our appetite.
With prices this high, this level of quality is unacceptable. If you cannot provide proper food, please don’t overpromise in your advertising.
Very disappointing and unprofessional experience. I will not be coming back and would not recommend it to others.
