Are you looking for an amazing dinner? Then this is your place to go. We didn’t expect to love aghan cuisine but wow it tastes incredible. The owner omar was so attentive, the food was amazing, and the place gives you such a unique experience. Highly recommended.

Not had the privilege of eating at an Afghan restaurant before, but this was such a good choice (so good in fact we went back the following night!). The chef does an awesome job producing very tasty dishes and the guys serving were so friendly (and also speak good English, which helped us out). Both teenagers loved the food too (and that's from one normally being quite fussy!). Thanks guys for being so welcoming and serving such excellent food. Highly recommended (but make a booking, it soon gets busy and isn't a large place).

Incredibly delicious food. I went here on a whim while hunting for dinner locally with a friend. I saw the Google reviews before we went in they were not wrong! One of the best meals I've had out in a while. I wholeheartedly recommend!

Easily one of the best Afghan restaurants in the city and one of the more popular options in a neighborhood which has so many international cuisine options. Highly recommend the roasted squash appetizer and, for the main, any of the meat options worked so well with their Kabuli rice. Also highly recommend reserving for a table as it can be crowded during weekend evenings.

They let me take their riz kabuli to go. The rice is so flavorful, the spices melding really well. You can tell it was cooked in the meat juices by the scent of fat on the rice. The lamb was really tender, and a single portion has a lot of meat. The lamb was also evenly cooked so no part was chewy and no part was dry, a consequence of its protection inside the rice. I was starving and barely finished the 17€ portion. Highly, highly recommend. I want to go back for the lamb knuckle and the pita, as both of those are best fresh.
