    Family owned and homey in every way. Very popular but wait staff is efficient and friendly. They even acknowledged my friends birthday with a slice of delicious cake. WE will be returning for sure.

    Afghan Bistro is great -- the food, service, and ambiance are excellent. The meal starts with delicious home-made bread and four dips. One can make a meal of the appetizers or order one of the main courses. I had a dish this time that was a stew of eggplant and tomato served over chicken breasts, all atop saffron basmati rice. There is a full bar. The desserts sound great, but I never get that far. Highly recommended. This was the first of a small chain of Aricosa restaurants by these owners and is still going strong.

    We've been dining at the Afghan Bistro for almost a decade now and the food continues to have amaze me. The complementary bread and dipping sauces are incredible; my favorite is always the next one I try. And the service has always been welcoming and friendly.
