Just had an amazing meal here! Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. You could feel the love in the food. I will return here for many more meals. Fantastic

Nothing to complain about ... Everything was excellent. The staff was friendly, nice ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. The spices, flavors and aromas of the food were amazing! The portions were generous. We started with the appetizer plate to share. It was more than enough for four. ($14). I ordered #32. Very tender lamb, (or you can get chicken), in a zesty stew like sauce served with basmati rice that was perfumed with cinnamon, cardamon, anise and clove. On top the rice were caramelized shaved carrots with raisins and currents. Excellent! ($20). I left with half of it. Next time I might try sharing some of the items including the entree just to sample more flavors. Save room for the Baklava (2 pieces $4) or the saffron, rose water ice cream with pistachio. ($7). In case you haven't noticed it was all very affordable! I'd you are vegetarian, there are lots of options for you here!

The food was great. Portions were average. However, the AC was turned off, so you keep sweating while eating. Also, they force you to pay 18% gratuity without giving you the option to choose.

We have never tried Afghani food before and had a great first introduction! Our waiter gave us tons of recommendations and helped us pick out a well rounded meal. We loved all of the food we tried! This is a wonderful date night spot!

Place is clean. Server is friendly with proper mask, while maintaining safe distance.

Do you want worker? I need a job, I'm from Afghanistan.

You'll have better luck if you go to the restaurant in person and ask. Here on Google the people who answer questions are just customers. Good luck!

Do you have halal meat options?

Yes. I would recommend the boneless chicken plate.
