Excellent food and service. We tried the tasting menu which is served family style. Ordered 4 for a group of 5 and we had plenty of food. Tried the Moroccan wine which was great.

This was one of the best restaurants I've been to in the DC Metro Area. My grandson and I came for dinner, we like to try foods of different cultures. We were both so happy with every aspect of this nice neighborhood restaurant. The wait staff were so lovely and attentive. My grandson got lamb chops and he said they were the best he's ever had, they were not gamey-tasting at all. I had salmon kabobs, delicious. Each came with jasmine rice, a cooked spinach side, and a wonderful slaw. Kudos to the chef. The restaurant was filled, but we could still hear each other. There are many vegetarian and vegan options to select from the menu. We also got the Assorted dumplings which included pumpkin, leek/onion, and spicy beef--excellent. I will definitely come back here even though it's a 40 minute drive to McLean. Try this restaurant. It's a gem.

Excellent food and service. Our waiter even made recommendations to accommodate our requests and food allergies

Absolutely amazing food, fantastic service. We will be back. The only comment we have that isn't even bad is that the temperature seems to sway from cold to very warm inside. We were sat by the windows, maybe that is why. We each ordered the tasting menu and went home with a bag full of food

Always a good experience. The lamb and pumpkin dumplings are always delicious. Service is very good but not intrusive. I always get a few orders to go so I can enjoy the next day

As usual Aracosia doesn't disappoint. I've NEVER had a bad meal here. The food, service, and atmosphere are second to none. If you are in the area, do yourself and whomever you're with a favor and stop in. You won't regret it.

Very attentive and polite staff. Delicious food. The vegetarian sampler was huge and the flavors were varied.

We got the larger of the two sampler options. The food was excellent and you really get a lot for the money. You will bring home leftovers.
Brittany
Fantastic experience - from checking in with the hostess, asking the waiter for advice on which items to get, the delicious and high quality food, amazing ambience. We will definitely go back!

Food was impeccable as always. Only two things ruined the overall experience. We were seated in the smaller room which was quite dark and not very appropriate for the birthday celebration. In the end, around 9 30 pm we were very rushed by the cleaning staff who started abruptly taking away plates and kept coming back every 5 min to check if anything else could be collected. The lady picking up dishes was quite rude.
We are regulars and the food is consistently excellent. This time we had surf and turf, and assortment of dumpling appetizers. The meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and always amazing quality. The sides are also delicious and vegan-friendly. I recently discovered the saffron tea, which is my go-to hot drink.

Wonderful restaurant!! Wait staff is so helpful. My husband and friend ordered the tasting menu and there was so much food we took half of it home. Food was delicious.

What a wonderful experience. It was a great opportunity to sample such wonderful Afghani food, the service was excellent, the ambience comforting, and the noise level quiet enough to allow us to have easy conversations. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Wonderful family-owned restaurant group with food quality and customer satisfaction front and center! There is no wrong choice to be made from this menu!! Yum!

Have been to Aracosia several times. Service is excellent and food is outstanding. Love the pumpkin dumplings, but everything I have tried has been great.
