The raisins in the rice were a great touch. We started with the bolani though and this was the best comfort food for my husband -- I thought it would be slightly crispy on the outside but it was still very delicious. He also loved the goat karahi. Plus, the decor in the place was very cool with an LED sign showing all the provinces of Afghanistan!

Fire grilled, chicken goat and booed kebabs, and a large lamb shank cooked buttery in the middle of the rice. The rice was specially cooked, flavorful, and really yummy. They don't try to kill you with salt. Food does not need extra salt to enhance your pallet. Always a good sign showing a chefs co fence with their food. And the size of the platter is generous. It could feed 4 people. Definitely a recommend if you like grilled meats and rice. Comes with sliced turnip, cucumber, fresh mint leaves and fresh parsley. I'll be going back to try other menu items for sure. High recommend.

This is a hidden little gem in the back of a long strip mall and definitely a place you should add to your try list. It's not fancy to look at, but I always feel comfortable coming in here, and they can easily accommodate large parties. As usual, they brought a refreshing lettuce salad. Once I finished that off I ordered the Mantu appetizer. Mantu is stuffed with a wonderful ground beef filling, a little pocket of deliciousness, a tiny spicy heat to it, and a moist sauce that rounds out the flavor, and is finished with a generous sprinkle of sumac. It's a delicious light dumpling!! My favorite dish that I keep ordering over and over is the Showra. This is a super flavorful broth in which a lamb shank sits along with a potato. It sounds so simple, and it is, but I think it's absolutely wonderful. I've never seen a naan prepared the way they do their version. Pull off pieces and dip that into the broth so that it gets all soggy and delicious :-). They serve it with a small side of onion and lemon, and I squeeze the lemon juice into it and dump the onion into the hot broth. I like to finish the meal with the light Firni milk pudding sprinkled with chopped pistachios. While eating here, you could run next-door to the market if you need some Halal meat. I think the above is my favorite meal here.

I got the two most popular dishes, including the karahi (beef per our waiter's recommendation) and the chapli kebab with bukhari pulao. The karahi portion was better than other restaurants! I wanted more curry sauce and the beef could have been more tender, but still delicious. The sauce also had some heat to it! The garlic naan was big and tasted fresh, one of my favorite naans I've had. The chapli dish was the standout. The beef was so flavorful and I normally don't enjoy ground beef!! Highly highly recommend. Complimentary hummus which went great with the naan however nothing to write home about. Complimentary hot green tea. Drinks are self serve. Dishes are served on paper plates and there are styrofoam plates to eat individually. I do wish they used glass dishware. Service was amazing. The staff were very friendly and checked up on us throughout the entire meal. I even heard them customizing a patron's order who wanted to try a little bit of lamp chop in addition to his lamb kofta which I found very generous. Restroom was very clean! Overall, delicious, fairly priced Afghan food. Highly recommend.

I was in line to order to-go but the lady in front of me had the hardest time paying for her order. After several unsuccessful attempts, another lady came by to take my order so that she could put my order to the kitchen first while I waited to pay. I found that to be extremely considerate of the worker to think to do that. Food came out in about 15 minutes. I was so hungry I ended up deciding to eat in my car. A little disappointed that they didn't include any utensils (nor did they ask if needed any), but thankfully I had some extras in my car. I ordered a chicken kebab and they were nice enough to sub my rice for a salad without extra charge. Also ordered the borani bademjan because I'm a fan of all things eggplant. Everything was delicious. The chicken kebab was juicy, moist, and nicely seasoned. However, my favorite item was hands down the borani bademjan. It had large pieces of smoky grilled eggplants and I love the spiced tomato flavors. Yum! Highly recommend for all eggplant fanatics. The borani came with a piece of nan that was good as well. Overall a great find and will be back to try other items.

I had the challow kabab with naan and my friend had the chapli kabab with rice. Both dishes were SO tasty and I'd recommend both. The naan is not buttery or oily so it was perfect with the most delicious and perfectly marinated meats. The chutney/vinegar sauce is always so refreshing and pairs so well with everything. I want this place to succeed because the food is just SO delicious however, it saddens me that the waiter was so terrible. He was dressed in torn up jeans and was on his phone as if it was glued to his face. I had no idea he was the waiter until I saw him go in the kitchen and I had to flag him down like hi can we order?! When he came to take our order he was the most meh person ever. He just stared out at the window as he stood there waiting for us to place our order. He didn't offer water or drinks until I called him back to ask like...can I at least have some water please? Then he yells from the counter, do you want room temperature or cold? Ugh I love this restaurants food but it saddens me to think that this waiter is going to be the downfall of this place. At one point he was loudly watching tik tok videos (to the point where I couldn't hear my friend talking to me from across the table). The other tables were also visibly annoyed with his lackluster energy and effort and one family was willing to leave because of his meh attitude. Saffron--please let go of this waiter. You're just too good of a restaurant and I hope you continue to succeed!! I just think with this waiter around, you could lose business like you did today.

Once seated our server Baba introduced himself and made great recommendations. Now I'm not the biggest fan of hummus but I'm glad I got to try it. To start off, they brought us some complimentary bread. It came out hot & fresh. The bread was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also enjoyed the roasted sesame seeds that they put on top of the bread. Then I had the mango lemonade drink which I thought was refreshing and the mango was strong. As stated I rarely eat hummus but theirs is made in house and I can tell because it was delicious. It was creamy, nutty, savory and earthy. My friend decided to get their lamb shish kabob combo and I got the soltani kabob. His came with lamb and chicken and mine came with beef tenderloin and ground beef. Both dishes were amazing especially his since the chicken was bursting with flavor. Nicely grilled and seasoned. The lamb was also solid as well, it was tendered. The beef tenderloin was also nicely seasoned & tendered. The ground beef was my least favorite since it tasted like hamburger meat, but I don't hate it. The rice was cooked to perfection. At the end I ordered their dessert and got the Bastani Irani. It says on the website that it's homemade but our server informed us that they purchased it from a vendor. Not a big deal for me since the ice cream was very good. Creamy, sweet and the nuts added texture to the dessert. Baba was kind enough to give me two more breads to take home since I still had hummus leftover, I'm definitely gonna devoured it the next day. It's rare that I eat Persian food but when I do I know it's gonna be good. They do not mess around when it comes to seasoning. Overall, good service, good food, nice decor. I'm looking forward to trying out their seafood kabob the next time I dine in. I also wanna add that this restaurant is on Yelp top 100 for recommendations and I'm not surprised.
