DeAfghanan Cuisine

We were craving some flavorful Afghani grilled items, so we decided to order takeout from this restaurant. We got two of their triple kabob platters with chaplee, beef teka, and murgh kabobs. Each platter came with veggies, bread, and a potato salad on the side. At first glance, I was excited about the potato salad as it actually looked a lot like Bengali chotpoti, which I’ve been craving. Unfortunately, the taste was quite different. It turned out to be a vinaigrette-based salad that was far too sour for my liking. As for the kabobs, I was disappointed overall. The tikka pieces were quite large and lacked seasoning, which made them chewy and bland. The chicken was tender but also under-seasoned, missing that savory, spiced flavor you expect from Afghani grills. The chaplee kabob was the b

​We visited for an early weekend dinner and found the place quite busy. The atmosphere was a bit smoky with a strong aroma of grilled meats. ​The appetizers were the highlight—the Mantu and Aushak were both delicious and authentic. However, the main courses were a bit hit-or-miss. My Lamb Kabab specialty was unfortunately tough and overly chewy, though the chicken in my friend's Triple Kabab combo was cooked well. We loved the chapli kabab too. We also noticed that despite being listed on the menu, none of our dishes were served with Shornakhod. ​For our vegetarian guest, the Sabzi Challow was decent but didn't stand out. Overall, a mixed experience with great starters but some inconsistencies in the mains.

We did a takeout for a small holiday party of about 25 people after we tried it once. The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken and beef kababs were to die for. The Potato Bolani was fabulous. The other items were great too. All made fresh in front of your eye in an open kitchen. The servers and personnel were very friendly and polite. My only thing was that, even if I had ordered a day early, and had reached there to pickup the food at the right time, the food was delivered almost 45 min late. But it was also a very very busy day and time for them.

Hands down, our favorite top 3 restaurants. It's expensive but man it's so good. I have been here 10+ times over the year and the food taste is consistently great! We only come here for special occasion since it's expensive. You will want to try verity and take the left over home. Yummy. I highly recommend this if you like Afghan food. If you have not try, you should. Order what I ordered for 4. Bolani Combination: Murgh & Teka (Chicken & Beef) Triple Kabob: Murgh, Teka & Chaplee Kabob Mantu (Dumplings) Quabili Pallow May be I should go to dinner there tonight. :-)

The portions were huge. We are two guys and ordered the triple kabob and potato bolani, and it was definitely enough for lunch for 3. Meat was flavorful and rice was great. Highly recommend the kabob plates. Service was fast and they give you complementary flatbread and sour yogurt dip. First time trying Afghani food so I have nothing to compare it to.
