Ziafat brings beautiful atmosphere from the entrance until the exit. The food is delicious, well spiced, kebabs are well cooked, soft, rice is good seasoned. If you want the taste of Afghan food this is the place. The menu has a lot to select from. The stuff is friendly. The turkish breakfast is amazing and can be chosen based on your party of people. Highly recommend! Clean and pleasant place to come with family, friends, solo and enjoy afghan/turkish cuisine 😍😍😍

EVEN OUR PICKY KIDS enjoyed the meal: lamb chicken combo with amazing rice and Nan. Parents also had ochre and spinach.

Yes, we'll eat there again (and again).

UPDATE: maybe management has changed or something but they always seem to be out of some things we used to love to get including fresh hummus and okra. And The chicken seems to taste, not quite as spectacular. Also, used to see more people dining in before - they seem to get updated...
