What our guests are saying
Great food, Qaboli is really delicious and the lamb is very tender. The rice is fluffy and the flavors really come out especially with the raisins. Unique flavors in comparison to other central Asian spots. The doogh is unexpected but refreshing.

Tonight, my husband, son, and I came here specifically to try Kabuli Palaw, a traditional dish from my home country. I was truly surprised because the flavor took me right back to my memories and my country. It was a truly memorable evening for my family. Thank you so much; everything was absolutely delicious and outstanding. We hope you open a branch in Santa Monica soon so we can enjoy your wonderful food every single week!

Very fresh and tasty authentic Afghani food. The mantu might be the best I’ve ever had. Chapli Kabobs and Lamb Kabobs were also very good. Fantastic service and the food comes out fresh and fast as well
