Excellent food in this local hidden gem. Super impressed with the service - and how one many successfully handled all of the tables. Food was delicious. I need to come here more often!

Delish and tender veal sabzi lawaan and vegetarian special. Our favorite Springfield restaurant!

It had been a while since we ate at Afghan Bistro, so I suggested a small group of us meet for lunch there.
We arrived just after the restaurant opened, so it was quite empty, but it filled up rapidly as the afternoon wore on. It is obviously a popular place.
We had a very pleasant and efficient server. She answered our questions and did a good job while we were there. My friends ordered the Sabzi Chalou and Chicken Breast Kebob, while I got the Lamb Chops. The chops came with rice with carrots and raisins and a side of Eggplant. Overall a delicious dish. The food was fresh and tasty.
After lunch, we ordered some cardamom tea. I enjoyed the tea as it was light and fragrant.
We were all happy with our meal and would definitely eat there again.

I know their food tastes nice but the way my food was packed, that was pathetic and because of that packing the food taste got mixed up.The restaurant packed rice, bbq and the pumpkin gravy in a one take away box which mixed up everything and I did not feel the tastes of each dish. Please learn how to pack foods separately

In addition to the delicious food and great service, I accidentally left my credit card behind. It may have been a day or so before I even missed it but because I had made reservations, they had my phone no. (restaurant is small) and called me when I was barely out of the lot. He even tried to catch me before I drove away and they were quite busy with just the one waiter and one server. Great job of looking out for your customers!

The food and service was a 10/10! I got the lamb shank which was so delicious, the meat just fell right out, I ordered the cardamom tea with the Cardamom Milk Cake and it was the best cake I’ve had in a while! Literally so happy I came across this hidden gem. It’s a very small restaurant so I wouldn’t come with a large group.

It’s a little cold so bring in a sweater!

This is one of our FAVORITE go-to's for an excellent meal, a nice, small venue, and personal attention. Aziz can answer ANY questions you have about the meals and much more! We've invited numerous friends to join us and they always look forward to the next visit! Chicken Sabzi Lawaan and Saffron Chicken are two of our favorites. Love this place!!!

Afghan Bistro never disappoints. Food is consistently great as is the service. Love the intimacy of this small restaurant.

We had not dined here in a few years, but the food was as good as we remembered. Staggering was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Everything was good, and we can't wait to explore more from the menu. We went on a Friday night, and I'm glad we had already reserved a table because all tables were full when we arrived.
