We've been dining at the Afghan Bistro for almost a decade now and the food continues to have amaze me. The complementary bread and dipping sauces are incredible; my favorite is always the next one I try. And the service has always been welcoming and friendly.

Once again it was great. Amazing food, always tasty. Wait staff is attentive w/o being intrusive and can answer any questions about the food Something for everyone; lots of lamb options (all amazing), with a ton of veggie options as well We try to get there every few months and have never been disappointed Its small - reservations are a must; less crowded early

I am not that familiar with Afghan food, but I wanted to try this place. They have a dedicated vegan menu. I got an appetizer sampler and a vegan entree sampler. Some of the food was a repeat on the main course from the appetizers. But it was tasty. Good service too, very knowledgable. Would go again!
