Out of business Why does a review need more words? It's closed. Shut down. No furniture. No food. Closed. But help demands more words. It's closed. Shut down. No furniture. No food. Closed. It's closed. Shut down. No furniture. No food. Closed.

3.5 stars. This place must be hurting because the waiter was forcing menu items down our throats. The waiter was overbearing because he tried to push us to order as much as we could. After seeing several photos of the afgan bread, I thought it was complimentary when the waiter casually asked if we wanted some bread. (it was $2) Transparency is important for a restaurant. The waitress, on the other hand, was friendly and helpful. As for the food, this is my go to meal. Chicken, lamb and rice. I can never go wrong with those staples in my meal. The food was cooked pretty well and flavored tastefully. The lamb was a little tough but lamb will be lamb. The chicken was phenomenally tender though. All in all, a tasteful place with an annoying waiter. Oh, and there was a smelly gas leak in the restaurant which made us leave because it was overbearing. Luckily we were almost done eating so we just got the rest packed up and left. Wouldn't hold it against them though because it could've just been a singular incident.

Delicious meal. I'd rate it 4.5 stars but as I can't I'll go up to 5 because the whole experience is friendly and welcoming. Nice comfy restaurant with amazing food. Great for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Especially the potato/leek dumplings, their lamb dishes, and don't forget to try their desserts.

Had the chicken kabob, sweet pumpkin, beet salad food was perfect. Great service too make a reservation : we were there on a Wednesday evening and it was packed

What a disappointment. I was craving some Afghan food and chose this place for a special occasion based on many good reviews. Save yourself the trip because THIS AINT IT! The Service: The server immediately tried to take our order as we were seated but because we weren 't ready, we were left for quite some time before he decided to return to our table. I could be wrong but it definitely appeared that the white customers received more attention than we did. I finally had to request his presence. We decided against appetizers yet somehow were served an appetizer without actually ordering it. I honestly thought it was on the house but it showed up on our bill. The Sanitation: When the appetizer was served, the server took the palm of his dirty hand and wiped something off my empty plate and sat it in front of me to use. Then while we were waiting for our main dish, we started to catch a foul odor of which I am certain was raw sewage. As my stomach was turned, I look to the server and he began spraying air freshener. I inquired about the source of the smell, to which he replied it 's the beef but it 's ok now . I should have left off the strength of this alone but I stayed against my better judgement because of how far we traveled. The Food: I came here with the sole intention of ordering lamp chops but they were out. Go figure. Just my luck... So I opted for my next favorite (Qualibi) and my BF ordered a combo and was told he could substitute his rice for mine. Not only was his rice not substituted, my Qualibi only had one raisin. ONE. I couldn 't even share my dish If I wanted to. How am I going to share one raisin? When I mentioned the presentation, I was told he can go grab some more raisins. No thank you. I then asked to speak to the manager, who I believe could have very well been our server but was denied. To add insult to injury the food didn 't smell or taste right on the first bite so I demanded a comp... and because of that, we were further ignored. I was willing to pay for what we consumed but I guess we were no longer customers in his eyes because. I patiently watched him move between other tables with no concern for ours. When I finally asked the server what the hold up was he said no pay you can just go. And that was that. Please do not patronize this place. The food is nasty. The service is poor and I can pretty much guarantee there are some health violations going on.
