This restaurant has the most delicious Afghani food! The food was fresh and all the meat was tender. The lamb was so soft that it fell off the bone with one pull. I would highly recommend trying this halal place out for the amazing food. I will be returning! The Qaymaq chai was also good and perfect for a cold day.

Incredible food at a family run spot. We stopped in for lunch and ordered the okra, brown rice, and ground beef kebab per the owner’s recommendation. Drank the pink chai. He gave us the eggplant and milk pudding on the house. Do not miss the eggplant!! Everything was delicious. The staff was inviting and attentive. Will be coming back later this week.

Mixed platter special was amazing! Great service. Some item quantities are small portion for a regular price. Seating area is huge. I liked the bethak style seating the corner. Nice place to have small events too.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Bilal Khan · Jan 2026

The food was really amazing We got the Lamb Shank Platter, Grill Combo Platter, Manto and Chicken vegetables soup The platters were 10/10 Manto 8/10 Soup 6/10 Service could be improved, but since this is a new location and they're still getting the hang of things I won't complain much. The soup came last, it should've arrived with the appetizers. Service 8/10 Overall great to have this Balkh location so close by, and I'll be visiting again for sure.

★★★★★ 5.0 S. Keeman · Jan 2026

Came here late around 1030 pm with little expectations. Seems they were updating the chairs but the person in the back was very hospitable. He catered to our every need and request. And the food was out of this world. The lamb melted off the bone and the rice was very tasty. 10/10 im already planning my next trip back
