I'm very fond of the interior which is charming and understated, with an area for prayer for Muslims which is exceptionally convenient. We got lamb shank with Kabuli Pulao and chicken kofta kebab with pulao. Both were absolutely amazing. The lamb is extremely soft and tender while being juicy at the same time. Their chicken kebab is amazing too; the rice is some of the best I've had. And we always generously douse it in their white sauce, some of the best sauce I've had. I think the flavor profile is great even for people who can't handle spice, it's flavorful and very manageable even for mild Western palates. If you're looking for a good option for dine in or takeout, better go check it out.

First time here was a winner!…read more Sometimes you just have a craving for lamb or chicken on rice, with that addictive white and hot sauce. This place delivered just that in my generously portioned combo over rice order. A few tables on the interior provide a space to enjoy their nicely spiced protein or grain with rice, salad and pita offerings. I, however, took mine to my destination-about 35 minutes away, and it remained warm and ready to eat. The person taking and delivering my order was pleasant, and I wouldn't hesitate to return when I feel for this type of food again. Everything tasted fresh, well seasoned and well cooked.

My family and I came here with my father-in-law and absolutely loved our meal. My kid found this…read morerestaurant after searching reviews and we wanted to try a new place. Grand Slam Home Run. We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.

I would've thought maybe it was a three all day long but after dinner tonight and getting to meet.Muhamme it was definitely a five and we will absolutely be back. We start off with an appetizer of chicken Samosa and not anything like an Indian Samosa a little bit different and very tasty not greasy, a nice crunch. My wife had the lamb Gyro platter that came with a plate of their rice with carrots and raisins, and a side dish and pita bread and I had the lamb shank platter. The meat on the lamb shank was to die, for it melted right off the bone. It was perfectly cooked. Tenders can be soft as can be tasty as can be a nice shoe of pink on the inside and the sauce that it was in we were dipping the pita bread in it, as well as some of the pieces for my wife's platter, which was also extremely tender very unexpected. Overall, it definitely rings bells for us as another food group that now we have a regular place to go.

First of all, it's a family run business and they take pride in their food, restaurant and hospitality. My husband went to school at Drexel and has been coming to this restaurant (here and a different location) for a long time. The place is beautifully decorated and made you feel like you were eating in a restaurant in Afghanistan. Everyone is so warm and friendly. They're great representatives for their country, culture and food. We started with hummus which was creamy goodness and an amazing salad with the best dressing. My husband absolutely loved his Qurma Chalaw. The chicken, sauce and buttery rice were so flavorful! Absolutely loved my dumplings in a tasty red sauce. They were delectable and I'm still dreaming about them. Our friends loved their Sansom Kabob and said it was moist and flavorful. Next time we visit, we'll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone we know who visits.

The salad and bread it came with was very tasty as well. The inside is beautifully decorated and has a good amount of seating.
