Afghan Restaurants near Richmond, VA

“Went there first time for lunch/dinner. The person was friendly and nice. Food was also good except a couple of things.
1. Kababs were fresh and good but gyro was not the fresh gyro, it was the frozen one.
2. There were no nan (bread). They serve pita bread. It is ok, but nan are better with kababs.

Other than that, it was ok.“

“What an unexpected culinary treat. We wanted to try out Mantu after reading a favorable article about it in the RTD a few months ago. We belong to a gourmet group and I can't wait to bring them back with me to this delightful restaurant. Our dumpling appetizer of an encrusted whole egg was subtle, different, and enjoyable. Our main course kebabs were nothing like meat and veggies on a skewer, there were no skewers in sight just wonderfully grilled, tender, and amazingly flavored lamb and vegetables. Our desserts of custard with fruit and a very imaginative take on baklava were a perfect close to the meal. In the end, it was the remarkable and very different use of unusual spice combinations, together with a friendly and engaged staff and chef that will guarantee our early return. P.S. the Afghan cuisine, if you have never experienced it, is quite different from the cuisine of India and Nepal.“

“My first experience trying Afghanistan cuisine, and it was AMAZING! I ordered the family platter to get a little bite of everything. The Mantu was just incredible the lamb pulled right off the bone. The other meats were juicy and seasoned perfectly.“

“Every time my family and friends come to this location we are treated with the utmost kindness and respect by everyone. Our food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone who desires great Halal food and a friendly and hospitable dining experience.“

“I had a unique and delightful experience enjoying Pacha and Chicken Dashi with Naan. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service went above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend visiting to explore their incredible variety of flavors. Thank you so much, brother Hamidullah Noori!“
