I quite enjoyed the homey, unostentatious vibe here, and combined with comfortable and spacious seating made for a pleasant dining experience.

However, the service was wonderful, warm and friendly - the staff checked up on us several times and no one rushed us. Overall, would definitely recommend if you're in the area! Even if the outside seems unassuming, this local spot is a truly beautiful place that's worth a look.

Over the years they've added various new items to their menu. Just when I think this place can't get any better, they add items such as Bolani, Quabili Rice and Dolma (just to name a few). It's getting harder and harder to settle on just one item for lunch or dinner. I want them all! The service is fabulous, the food is fabulous... clean, lean and healthy eating. You can't go wrong. This is one of my most favourite restaurants and the benchmark for which I rate all other Afghan restaurants. Go. Eat. Enjoy. xx
