OK, my goodness. Taste buds were popping all over the place. I love the neighborhood. Love the vibe. Love the food. A tiny bit pricey but hey, look where you are. Definitely will be back.

This was my first time trying Afghan food, and Bistro Aracosia did not disappoint! The food was absolutely amazing. It was rich with flavors and beautifully spiced. We ordered the sampler, which was perfect for trying a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious. A great experience all around. I’ll definitely be back!

We loved this place so much and are embarrassed to say we almost skipped to cuz of the reviews but glad we decided to try it anyways! The service was great, from the moment we walked in the host, the waiter, everyone was very attentive and kind. The bread basket and sauces we just the beginning and were so tasty! From the dill yogurt to the mango to the pepper to the zatar spice mix. Lentil soup - wasn’t sure if we’d like this but it turned out we loved it and even added rice from our platters to extend the great taste! Quroti- very flavorful with a great balance of spices to enhance the flavor and texture Potato and meal turnovers - simple yet very tasty, soft and fresh inside and crispy outside Grilled salmon atop saffron rice and greens - omg this was so good, especially loved the green

Everything was perfect! The foods were really tasty! I ordered Dumpling Assortment, Afghania Dhood Palo, and Cardamon Milk Cake. My favorite dumpling was pumpkin one. The lamb was very delicious. The cake was amazing! I definitely will come back. The inside is very cool too. The severs were polite and friendly. I had a great customer service.
