    First time at the restaurant. Ambience was nice. My husband ordered the Borani Banjan (eggplant entree). A little more than halfway through the entree, my husband found a produce sticker buried in the dish. We called the waiter over, showed him the produce sticker and he basically just shrugged his shoulders and said it probably came from the eggplant. My husband didn't want the remainder of the entree so the waiter took it away. When the bill came, it included everything we ordered. The restaurant took nothing off the bill, not even our one appetizer. We won't be returning.

    Excellent soup, bread, and entrees (chicken and veal Afghan specialties). A wonderful dining experience. We bought the “mock tails” to take home with us! The service was very attentive and friendly! Atmosphere was a bot too noisy but enjoyable!

    We had a wonderful experience on a Saturday evening. The complimentary lentil soup, bread and the 3 choices of rice were all wonderful. My husband loved the combo of chicken and filet mignon kabobs while I enjoyed the vegetarian eggplant dish. There were patrons of all age groups and everyone seemed to enjoy their food and had a good time. Will definitely return and try different dishes.

    It was a busy Friday night, but management and staff did a great job accommodating everyone. We had a reservation and were seated almost immediately. The food came out promptly and was delicious. My son and I had a great experience, we will definitely be back for the lamb chops again!
