Food was really good. It just took long time between appetizer and main course. We waited like 45 min between them. Space is small, so reservation is definitely recommended or you might not be able to walk in and get a table. It was our first visit to this place and we will definitely be back again.

Good as always and we enjoyed it. I felt, in the past, Afghan Bistro was somewhat better than it is now. There's nothing, in particular, that we didn't like, but it seemed to have dropped a little in all areas.

Excellent food and outstanding service! The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. One of the best Afghan restaurants in the area I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!
