the menu of the restaurant
Doug W.

There were 6 of us and we made reservations. The food is that good you need to make reservations for this restaurant. There is no liquor served which would have been nice but not necessary. You go for the food. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and looking at the menu and with her recommendation we chose the kebab throne. The price looks steep but when you consider 6 individual orders and the variety of meats this was the far better deal. I had the chicken corn soup and it was great. Well worth it. The extra Afghan spices used really made the soup unique. Of the 16 skewers of meat (4 kinds) we still packed up 6 skewers. The rice was a large plate , more than enough for the 6 of us. The potato bolani was great and more than enough. The pakawra was great. Firm in the middle. Over all we will go back to this place with guests.

This is a small Mom & Pop type restaurant owned by the Yousofi family who immigrated in 2009. The Yousofi family brought the rich flavors of Afghan food to Vancouver. I had Chicken Korma, which is slightly different from Indian Cuisine & it was wonderful. It was tomato based with a cilantro sauce & came with white rice, salata, & chatni. My friend had Kabuli Palaw & Lamb Shank, my other friend had Chicken Kebab & they were both equally delicious. The service was great, friendly & quick!

We stopped by for lunch. We were seated right away. A high chair was available for our child. Menus and water were dropped off shortly after we were seated. We ordered the kebab plate, happy platter, mango juice and rice pudding. It took a bit of time for everything to arrive but it was worth the wait. It was a satisfying meal trying a variety of appetizers and kebabs. It was my first time trying the different appetizers other than the Afghan bread. I really enjoyed the potato bolani which was a wheat crust with a soft potato filling. The other items on the appetizer platter were good and paired well with the kebabs. The naan was very thin and crispy. The meat kebabs were tender, juicy and seasoned well. The mango juice was thick and almost like a smoothie texture. The rice pudding was a nice mix of spices and had almond slivers. Service was good. Our server dropped off extra plates and napkins so we can share the food easily. We had leftovers to take home for another meal. Covid precautions were in place. Contact information was collected for tracing purposes. Staff wore face masks. Hand sanitizer was unfortunately located at the payment area instead of the front of the restaurant.

Amazing food. Great portions. Excellent service and staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Looking forward to dining here often.

We ordered a dinner for two. There was more than enough food. The food was good. We had leftovers. The waiter was nice and was checking on us. The only thing I didn't like was that couple of guests were extremely extremely loud, to the point that in order for us to hear one another we had to talk louder as well.

What a pleasant dinner. We got ourselves a booth at the back of the restaurant and had a wonderful…read moreexperience. The service was spot on and all the recommendations were superb. My personal favorites were the salmon curry and the dumplings with lentils. Go in a big group and get to try a little of everything! PS, the Secret Cake (tres leches) was my favorite of the entire meal. What a way to wrap up a perfectly well rounded meal.

Very ethnic spot. We went for an early dinner on a Sunday without any reservation. They could still…read moreaccomodate us on the patio but the patio directly overlooks the main road and the road noise is definitely not something we enjoyed very much. No other concern other than the road noise. We were a party of three - 2 adults and one 5-year old toddler. We ordered 4 things - 1. Mantu - very good but expensive for 4 dumplings 2, Chicken Shami Kebab - Comes with super soft buttery naan bread, Melt in the mouth kebabs and possibly the best kebab of my life. My son loved it and primarily ate most of it. 3. Uzbeki Palaw - Very good but the rice to meat ratio could be disappointing. 4. One cocktail and it was very good, very ethnically inspired. Everything was amazing. Portion sizes are small and we finished everything. Our server was so warm and advised visiting during brunch hours the next time to enjoy more kebabs given we likes it the best. Other tips! 1. Service is fairly quick. We were in and out within the hour. 2. There is street parking but finding a spot may still be challenging at any point. There is parking in the building but when we visited, the entrance to it was not working. 3. Reservations are highly recommended for weekends to be seated inside which is very chic and upscale. 4. Menu is pretty kid friendly food and none of the food was remotely spicy.
