    Our group ordered from the specials menu and were not disappointed. The appetizer dumplings were all delicious as were the lamb shanks and the veal special. It is a special treat of have Naan bread with 4 choices of dips, all delicious and not too spicy. They were very busy and we arrived early for our 6:30 reservations so it was a little slow after the Naan delight. But our waiter was very apologetic. We had an excellent bottle of French Crozes Hermitage that was perfect with our meals. the desserts were also delicious but had a little difficulty tasting the Cardamon in the cake or the rose water in the custard but the chocolate cake was incredible (probably not traditional for Afghan food though). All in all, a gem we will frequent again soon!
