Weve been multiple times and it's always excellent. We've settled on favorites--Valravn Zinfandel wine, Pumpkin Dumplings, Chicken Aracosian, and the Qabuli Combination Platter.

Delicious meal and excellent, friendly service. We sat outside in a nice covered area. It serves well even if it is raining. We have eaten at Aracosia many times, and it is always fantastic.

First time, but certainly not our last! Excellent food, very reasonably priced. The lamb was seasoned well, very savory and delicious. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. Definitely recommend.

Wow! Simply great food and great service. Reservations are a must! Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but I lucked out!

Grill was broken so menu was very limited. Probably would have canceled my reservation if I had known that in advance.

Aracosia was a wonderful treat to enjoy lunch with my grandparents between working. I got the veggie (Qabuli) combo platter and it was so delicious! The sauce in the chickpeas were my favorite, as well as the four other sauces that came on the side. I will look forward to returning

I was blown away by the food here it was absolutely amazing and wide variety of dishes outside the typical box of Afghan cuisine. Highly recommend you check this out.

Everything about this place is magical, their tasty lamb and beef dumplings and afghan food is outstanding my family and I have been 4 times this year and every time it gets better
I had the pleasure of dining here on the occasion of celebrating my wife's birthday. The pumpkin dumplings were really good and the ribeye kabob was cooked perfectly. My wife was also extremely happy with her lamb. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Would love to return again soon.

It appears there was only one waiter (with help from the manager) to support the entire restaurant, so service was very slow. Our dinner came before our drinks although they were ordered at the same time. I ordered my lamb medium rare and it was well done - no pink anywhere. After waiting so long, I wasn't inclined to send it back and wait another half hour. Not likely to return.

This restaurant is one of the best in the area, and I make sure to visit it whenever I'm in the vicinity. The meat quality is exceptional, the food selection is diverse and delicious, and the overall dining experience is simply fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.
