Hills of Herat Basking Ridge

I visited Hills of Herat today and overall it was just okay. We made a reservation and were seated right away, which was great. The decor is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Shoutout to Wali — he was super nice, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. For appetizers, we ordered the mantu and bolani. I love Afghan food, but these were a bit underwhelming. The mantu lacked flavor, and the bolani was only half-filled with potato — the outer edges were super crispy but mostly empty. For entrées, we ordered the ribeye, filet mignon kabab, lamb shank, and the Herat combo. The food did take quite a while to come out. The ribeye had no salt and the chili chermoula sauce overpowered the meat itself. The filet mignon kabab was actually really tasty, but it came with very little rice. The

Fantastic authentic food. Great service and atmosphere. Food variety was really good. Prices were very reasonable. Of you are looking for something different, this is it. Highly recommend. Its BYOB no cork charge which is another plus.

I chose Afghan specialties! Why not?! Chicken Qorma with a sampling of their 3 rices! The atmosphere is great and it's very well decorated. It's open space but not loud which is nice for after work gathering. There is no alcohol, but it does appear to have been a bar in the past. All of the staff I interacted with were extremely nice and engaging! They were also very attentive and I felt appreciated. I have been here twice and will come again! I also love the red spicy sauce! Eat up!

Hills of Herat is an excellent spot for really good Mediterranean food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was great, and the portions were generous. Prices were very reasonable for the quality you get. Definitely a must-try if you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Highly recommended!

The upscale atmosphere is perfectly complemented by the exceptional quality of both the food and service. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared with rich, layered flavors, and the service is attentive and seamless. The decor adds to the overall experience, creating a refined and welcoming setting. As for the comments about portion sizes or prices, I would encourage you to disregard those—prices are in line with the high-end atmosphere and are reflective of the overall dining experience. This restaurant truly meets every expectation for an upscale dining experience.
