I really love this restaurant and while it's been a while since I visited, it's lost none of its charm. Great food and friendly,... helpful service. Getting Afghan food is a real treat as it brings together West Asian and South Asian cuisines in a nuanced way,creating subtle flavors and textures that are an absolute delight. Read more

We ordered lamb and minced beef kabob as appetizers as well as rice, meat balls and egg plant dish. Lamb and meat balls were... really good and rest were ok. Very small portion of rice and egg plant for the price. Ambience is good, service was satisfactoryand place is clean with a good selection of wines - we carried our own. Read more

We didn't really like the service. The food was ok but the eggplant was raw. We paid one dollar for each bread in the photo.... They were not fresh! Read more

This restaurant is a treasure of the area. Not only is it one of very few Afghani restaurants in the area, it's quality of food... is unmatched. Each dish feels authentic and offers you a slice of what you've been missing out on your entire life, somethingspecial. Read more

My family eats here regularly. The food is absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with love, the restaurant itself is... gorgeously decorated with hand-woven carpet from Afghanistan, and the owners are absolutely lovely people! Try the eggplant andtheir homemade iced teas... You won't regret it!!! Read more

Wow! This place is exceptional. We were looking for a new restaurant to try for take out and remembered seeing this one. I’m... assuming it’s a family run business because they truly take pride in their food. Just incredible and we will for sure makethis part of our regular rotation. We ordered the saffron chicken kebab with eggplant and kabeli palow with pumpkin purée,sautéed lamb and potatoes. Also some bolani on the side. Read more

Very nice restaurant with excellent customer service, delicious food, ambiance, and nice decor. The owners Nangela and Mussa... were very hospitable. They explained the Saffron farm which they sponsor in Afghanistan called @Silk Road Saffron. Reasonablypriced and organic. Will definitely go back when I return to Sacramento and try their other dishes. Highly recommend???? Read more

Where do I begin.... First off, I would like to say that the food tasted fairly good, but I wasn’t particularly fond of... finding a human hair in two of my dishes. Upon bringing one of the dishes to the attention of the staff, they hesitantly took itback and offered to replace the dish. The staff casted some reluctance in whether the hair truly existed upon presenting thefood, or if it was my group’s doing. Additionally, there was a lot of confusion regarding who to order from, where to pay,where to wait, and how long the meals would take to make. When we began to order, we asked for recommendations on food optionsand the staff didn’t provide any recommended dishes. Once I arrived home, I discovered an additional hair cooked withinanother dish. I wasn’t sure whether to continue eating or put it away completely. Again, the food had a great flavor andpleasant sauces, but after the hairs and service I will not be going back and cannot recommend it to others. Read more
