A non-Muslim friend invited us to dinner at this restaurant and claimed that it is owned by Hamid Karzai's brother and that there are halal items on the menu. I unfortunately did not check with Zabihah.com and accepted the invitation. When I saw the bar inside the restaurant I already knew that I would not trust their claim of serving halal. The waiter pointed out 4 menu items that were supposedly halal and he later returned to say that only 3 of these were halal according to the owner. I did not trust him so I ordered the salmon dish. The food was good but I will not return to this place. I am rating it poor because I do not believe the word of a Muslim who trades in haraam.
