The reviews and photos of the food looked great, so I decided to give it a try. The food here is GREAT! The guy working the front was awesome and gave me a heads-up that the portions were pretty large, especially since I was planning to add fries. I originally wanted to order the chicken tikka kabob plate, but he let me know it would take a while to prepare and recommended the shawarma instead, which he could get out to me right away. He was absolutely spot-on with his recommendation. I was starving, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted incredible! Great service, generous portions, and delicious food. I'll definitely be back next year when I return to town for Gravel Worlds!

Loved this place! The staff were so nice and welcoming. We tried the baklava, beef shawarma and…read morechicken kebabs. I personally loved the beef shawarma and their garlic sauce is so good you could probably drink it. Their rice is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken kebabs were perfectly cooked, they were moist. They gave us pita bread as well. The baklava was a perfect sweet treat. There is a bunch of seating, they have those beautiful glass lanterns and it's just a great casual place to get some delicious food.

There is a buffet where you can pay by the pound, and a menu of stand alone items. The buffet dishes included several rice options, different meats, and eggplant, among other things.

There is plenty dining room features some decorations from Afghanistan, and a video was playing describing regions of the country. There is plenty of parking behind the building, which can be accessed from both the front and back of the building. Cant wait to go back!

We had the sambusa, Pilav, and the Lulya kebab. I was hesitant to order the sambusa, because I've…read morehonestly never had a good one. But, my bff wanted them . I was clearly wrong, there is a such thing as a perfect sambusa. The bread was thin enough to taste it, but not so bready that the bread was the star. The meat was chopped steak not ground meat and the sambusa was stuffed full, 4 of them is a whole meal. And the filling was full of flavor, layers of flavor, it alone is a reason to eat there. Also the kebab was served with a perfectly dressed fresh tomato, red onion and cucumber salad and the pilav was served with a perfectly dressed lettuce, red onion and tomato salad. The Pilay was pretty good, the meat was a bit dry, but the flavors in the rice was on point and the garbanzo beans were creamy and flavorful, not slightly sandy and garbanzos can be. They definitely did not come from a can. That kebab, whew THAT KEBAB, was off the chain and they served it with a red sauce that seemed simple but flavorful with a little kick, I think I ate more bread than anything because I was dipping my bread in that red sauce. The service was friendly and the decor was comfortable and welcoming and colorful. I will definitely be back. And it was affordable, 2 entrees, a side, order of bread and green tea was $47 before tip.

I love a good Greek salad with a lot of vinegar dressing and sometimes this is hard to find. This was not a lot of salad, it had sliced black olives; there was a lot of tomato that just didn't taste good. Dressing was not right. I did love that it was served with some good potatoes which I felt like kind of a cross between Greek potatoes and steak fries. I also like that there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. The meat was nice, not dry. It was just the "salad" part that I didn't love. Maybe next time I would just have a gyro instead. Service was fast, prices were appropriate. We sat outside. The other family members were happy, they are less picky than I am.
