Was the perfect snowstorm eve meal—great comfort food with wonderful depth of flavor! Drinks were delicious and overall consistently a fine evening.
We ordered the complete aracosia experience so we could try a little it of a lot of the dishes. Highly recommend it. It's a lot of food! Everything was delicious. We had baklava and the pistachio cake for dessert and both were outstanding. Service was very attentive and friendly.
This is a really an excellent restaurant, but last night the service was even better than usual. After we had been served our beverages and an appetizer, a large group celebrating a birthday was seated 2 tables away. They were happy, but noisy, so we asked to be moved. Even on a busy Friday night, the Aracosia accomodated our request and moved us to the next available table for four.
This was my second visit and I live in Massachusetts...the service is impeccable and the food is delicious. Can't wait to return!
Enjoyed a birthday lunch with family. Service was exceptional and the dumpling sampler is a great starter choice.
We had the salmon wrap and the beef wrap for lunch. They were both excellent choices. The service was first rate.
Always great food and service! We came for my husband's Birthday and he had an amazing experience.
It is extremely busy, and there is a severe shortage of service personnel.

A nice restaurant but the food was okay, nothing special but very overpriced, I wouldn’t come back.

Absolutely wonderful experience. From the menu that accommodates many different diets/allergies/restrictions, to the pleasant time we had with our server, I had an absolutely incredible time at this restaurant.

We've been here a few times over the years. The restaurant's atmosphere is beautiful and the staff are invariably eager and fairly polished. The food prices and portions are good for the area. The caveat is the food, which is decent but certainly not spectacular. The meat/dishes in particular are underwhelming; we have more luck with the appetizers.
I presume the fawning reviews come from folks who have not tried much afghani cuisine, but I'd the food is on par with a number of fast casual afghani places in the area, the one exception being the dessert cakes, which are exceptional.

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.
