Food was really good and reasonably priced. I took the service down to 4 stars as the lady SLAMMED our drinks onto the table but I wouldn’t let this deter me from coming back. The young guy who served us 90% of the time was really nice and attentive. The chicken karahi with garlic naan was great! And really generous portions.

Outstanding food and unbeatable value. The portions are incredibly generous, and the quality is always top-notch. This has become my go-to spot for authentic Afghan cuisine. Every dish is consistently delicious, and the entire experience is always impressive. You won’t find better value for money anywhere else. Highly recommend!

One of the best Middle East food I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked lamb, finely seasoned salads and rices. Delicious warm breads. An amazing and authentic experience. Totally recommend
