Good place but the meat is not Zabihah Halal (hand-slaughtered) as they get it from Restaurant Depot.

I love this place. Food is excellent here especially their steak sandwich is the best. My wife and I are a regular here. Highly recommend this place.

The place was clean but I had an issue with the lady who was preparing the food. Her hair was untied, not in a net, and hanging in front of her. I had hair in my food before so I was more than a little disgusted. The portion sizes were a little too small for the price paid but the boneless chicken kabob with rice tasted good.

The service is very good. The owner allowed us to have the buffet after its hour. He even add more food after that.

I was a little concerned when I first walked in this very tastefully decorated and cozy looking Afghan spot. As the women behind the counter was not wearing a hairnet and her hair was longer than shoulder length. After working in food service for over ten years this is a big no-no and for good reason. She also was not the friendliest. No worries the food was tasty. When ordered chicken wings, samosa, lamb kabab platter and the steak and cheese. Everything was tasty but average. They also offered some good looking deserts but we were all full to partake. Probably won't be back except for a slice of cheesecake if I am in the area. The place was clean including the bathrooms.

Good food and good service. I had the chicken and beef kebob combo with rice, chick peas, salad, and Afghan bread. Make sure to get some Afghan hot tea. It was delicious. Very nice authentic Afghan decor also.

Very nice. Favorite dishes here are the Qabli pulao, aush soup, baulanee, aushak, chicken sandwich. My son likes the ground beef kabob. Nice folks working there. The lunch buffet is also nice. My only complaint is that when ordering for a pick up, give an extra 10 minutes for the food to be ready. Otherwise, good Afghani food.

Not consistent at all. Sometimes good service and food, sometimes horrible. The girls are nice, the guy not that much. He needs to wear gloves when touching the food

I go here often and they are consistently good. I love their steak and cheese it has so far been one of the best I have had around the area. My mom is really picky and she really liked their fish sandwich so, I definitely recommend this place!

I went here for lunch and had their lunch buffet. It was really good with many tasty items. The service was excellent, (they even brought some fresh bread to my table while I was eating). The place is neat and clean and the prices aren't too bad.

Unfortunately, this place is awful. It looks like a nice cozy place to eat, but the food is horrible. Kufta kabob is mediocre. The bread is mediocre. Chicken kakob (tikka) lacks flavor. The rice tastes like it is fake, as if it has been microwaved 10 times. The gyro? Astugfirullah! I once tasted a gyro at a different restaurant and I thought that gyro was the worst I ever tasted, but I was wrong. This place has the worst gyro. It didn't even taste like a gyro. It had such an awful taste. I don't know how these guys stay in business! I really hope they can improve.

Very nice. They cook the meat well and have a nice clean place. Real flowers on all the tables! And they are nice (we unfortunately broke a small bowl but they were very nice about it and didnt even charge us). I thought they were a little more expensive than they should have been though, by about $1-2.
