Just spent 2.5 hours at this newish (opened less than six months ago) restaurant. I am stuffed and…read moresatisfied. The owner's hospitality surpassed my expectations. Food: I knew I was ordering too much but how could I not get an appetizer and entree at an Afghani restaurant? I ordered mantu, which were meat filled dumplings with a lentil and tomato stew on top and mint yogurt sauce. For my main dish, I wanted pumpkin but they didn't have it on the menu, so I ordered the sautéed eggplant. Although it had a similar tomato sauce to the mantu, I enjoyed it simply because of its buttery smooth texture. The dishes were served with Afghani flatbread and the staple three sauces (spicy, yogurt, and possibly cilantro). I was served complementary Afghan sweets, which I hadn't tried before. Service: Granted that I was the only paying customer in the restaurant, I received great service. My food was perfectly spaced out. I arrived around 21:30, so I was around while they were cleaning up and got to chat with the owner and learn about the Afghani community in Hamburg. Ambience: I loved the Afghani decor. Beautiful tapestries and wooden furniture throughout. The owner asked if he should turn down the Afghani music but I shook my head, as I was enjoying it very much. Price: Good price for the quality. I ordered a pot of tea, appetizer, and entree and was charged 13,90.

Definitely a fantastic restaurant! First things first. If…read moreyou're afraid to go into an area where 80% of businesses have to do with sex, gambling or Döner and 90% of the population is from Northern Africa or the Middle East, then don't go here. But you'll miss out on something! The restaurant is on the first floor. Ambience is functional oriental. Music is oriental. Service is super friendly. The menu is not very long. Various dishes with lamb and some dishes with chicken. Softdrinks, water, tea and Lassi. No alcohol. I decided on lamb with chickpeas. Simple, but as it turns out, absolutely delicious. But before the lamb and rice are served, I get a basket with fresh baked flatbread, a mint- and a yogurt-sauce and a plate with a small starter salad. All spiced with herbs from the Afghan kitchen and very refined in taste. Than the lamb and the rice. What can I say? Great taste from the beginning til the end. With this quality food, who cares that the water comes in a plastic bottle? And then the bill. €11,80 for everything. Wow. Not just good and friendly, but very reasonably priced (not to say cheap) as well. For some time now, I've adapted to a mostly vegan/vegetarian lifestyle and that means I wouldn't find much to eat here. But as I'm not 100% vegetarian, I will definitely come back.

Came here with a number of people. It was my first time having iranian/ persian food. Since we were…read moreseveral, we were able to order all the warm starters. When you order starters, you get some really thin bread similar to pita bread. Majority are pastes that you can rub on the bread and eat. All were really tasty. Additionally they also have starters composed of eggs and spinach that are delicious! Take any of the warm starters and you will not be disappointed. For mains I had the lamb with red bean sauce. Very good. And then I discovered persian rice! The way they make their rice is so good. You get the rice with safron, very dry but some of the best rice that I've ever had. I had the chance to also try my friends chicken with a pomegranate sauce dish. It was too sweet for my liking, I wouldn't order that again This place fails however in service. Our waitress on the day was a tard rude and that's a star lost. Maybe it was just a bad day for her, who knows. IMPORTANT: This is a non alcoholic establishment. ie there are absolutely NO drinks with alcohol available

I simply love this place! Ok, it's tiny but you can fit in with a group up to 10 people. (I guess…read morea reservation would be recommended in this case.) I am still amazed that this place is never really overcrowded, it kept a kind of insider's tipp status over the years. Due to the fact that it is located right at the north end of the University campus, opposite the Abaton cinema, it is suitable to the budget of students. You can get real afghan food here, and the place for me was always a hide-out. A pity they cannot use the garden anymore, but in summertime they open some tables on the sidewalk. Special recommendations go out to their dooch (yoghurt drink with spices and cucumbers), bolanis and samosas (non-sweet pastries) and their wide range of pilafs (rice-based dishes).

I think I need to say make it really really really hot next time :)
