Customer Reviews
Fantastic Afghan food! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Since each dish is made to order, there's a bit of a wait, but it’s well worth it. Portions are generous — we ended up with enough leftovers for another full meal at home. The service was excellent too: warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. If you're in the area and craving something authentic and satisfying, this place is a must!
I took my mom here for her birthday because she wanted to try the Afghani trout her coworker had highly recommended. When we arrived, we found the staff busy setting up for a large party. One of them asked how he could help, and I mentioned our reservation. Instead of assisting us directly, he pointed us to a bell at the cashier stand to summon a server. The server emerged from the kitchen and told us to choose any table. We picked one that wasn’t set, lacking the tablecloths and utensils shown in the photos, which seemed to be from banquet events. This restaurant, the only Afghan one in Newark/Fremont/Union City offering trout, appears geared more toward large parties and banquets than small groups. While the food was phenomenal, our experience was marred by a 35-minute wait for a bottl
Very beautiful restaurant and very clean!! I have been coming the past couple of nights due to how amazing their food is. Amazing staff and top notch service. So glad I discovered this restaurant will definitely be my new everyday place to come too.
Authentic Afghan food and probably the best in the San Francisco Bay Area by far. A business associate brought us here for dinner and we had the Bolani filled with potatoes & one with Leeks as appetizers. They were not only tasty but most importantly not greasy. For the main entrees we had the Kabuli rice Which is rice with shredded carrots and raisins. I’m not a rice fan so the fact I went for a 3rd portion is incredible in itself. The next entree was a platter of kebabs, Which included the grilled Chicken Tikka. The Beef Kebab (Grilled sirloin) again not something I go for at Afghan/Persian restaurants but, this was so soft I could cut with my fork. The next grilled meat was like a Persian Koobedieh or Kafta kebab but with flavor and not bland. The last meat was a Chapli Kebab which
Absolutely delicious! The $17.99 buffet includes tea or soda. The black tea was wonderful. The food was fresh and scrumptious. Ate three plates. Don't know what the golden honey cookies were but they were amazing!
