"It is one of good restaurant we have visited recently. They serve fusion food, you will find kababs along with Basmati (plain white rice) and Biryani rice. The biryani is not traditional biryani but taste is good. We have order Fatoush, Zatir and Jabneh Manakesh, chapli kabab, chicken kabab and mince meat kabab. They all were good, I have taken some of my freinds as well who have not tasted this food before, they were happy and have enjoyed the food. The Fatoush was fresh, Zatar and Jabneh was the pick of food. The meat was cooked well and they owner is gracious enough to provide us extra yogurt (raita) and curry sauce to make it spicy. We have eaten food with some biryani rice and afghan Naan. Afghan Naan was cooked perfectly although the portion could have been bigger. Other day we have tried kabab with biryani rice and chicken Tikka masla, biryani rice portion and kabab was good and delicious. Chicken tikka masla was good for someone who has not eaten it before but for people from India and Pakistan it lacks the spices and traditional curry base. My friend who ordered this was happy with it. The owner was very humble and very gracious. He has recognized us on our next trip and was available on hand to explain dishes to my friends and suggest them the level of spice they should try. They also have Kabuli pilao available although we did not try it. It is good place for both lunch and dinner, they serve halal food."

This may be the best afghani restauRant i’ve ever had, I had a bad experience with afghani food before but now i’ve come yo learn that it was a fluke. This was an amazing experience from the place to the serving to the food. I recommend the Kubli pilaou and Chicken Tikka Misala.
Sura

I ordered the Chapli Kebab sandwich and baklava for takeout, and it made for a delightful lunch experience. The food was fantastic, deserving a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The service was equally impressive and also warrants a 5-star rating. As for the atmosphere, I’d rate it a perfect 5 as well. Overall, I had a wonderful meal for around $20 to $30 per person.
Shashi
This restaurant deserves all the praise and a high rating in terms of hygiene, quality and taste of food. Chicken Tikka Biryani is the best and along with their hot sauce, it satisfies all my food cravings. The owner is really friendly, have been ordering food from here for last 5 years and would continue to do so in the future. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch

I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered at this restaurant. The vegetable samosa was especially well-made, with the perfect balance of crispness and softness. The chicken tikka masala had a unique twist compared to traditional northern Indian cuisine—it was less buttery but still delicious and a refreshing change. One tip for placing complex orders: request to speak with the male owner as the woman I interacted with was very friendly but her English was not perfect. (December 2021) View menu

For my recent lunch at this restaurant, I spent around $30–50 per person. The food was quite impressive, earning a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I particularly recommend the Beef Kebab served with Biryani Rice, which was delicious and worth trying. On the other hand, the service could use some improvement, as it only rated a 3 out of 5. The atmosphere was also average, giving it another score of 3. Overall, it's a decent place to consider if you're in the area and in the mood for some good food!
Amrit
This restaurant offers affordable prices and a small menu, making it a straightforward place to dine. I enjoyed the delicious 'Chicken Samosa' appetizer followed by the 'Beef Kabab Biryani', which had amazing beef kababs. The biryani may not be authentic, but the flavorful rice made up for it. The standout dish for me was the 'Rice Pudding' Kheer, a must-have delicious dessert. Overall, I recommend this place for its tasty food at reasonable prices, as well as the humble and warm hospitality shown by the staff.
