Take out twice. Bolani is basically fry bread w nice potato chive filling. Chutney tasty, wish there was more. Kabuli Pulaw I ordered for the rice which based on menu description was the only one to include carrots raisins pistachios and almonds. All of their rice includes this addition. Best tasting rice, like the best ever Rice-a-roni. Mantu/dumplings are incredibly rich and complex, liked the tomato lentils the best. Beef filling is plentiful and multiple spices, lips tingling after meal. Got 2 full meals from rice n dumplings. Not cheap but incredibly interesting food.
I have been craving Bolani ever since the first time I had it in 2012. So, as soon as I saw it on the menu, I knew I had to go here. The food is outstanding! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!!
Wonderful, complex flavors in the spices (with just a bit of heat) in every dish we tried — the Bolani stuffed pastry, the Mantu dumplings, and my Borani Banjan eggplant. Delicious, and a welcome addition to CU!
Looks like a family owned restaurant. Severely understaffed. We waited 1 hour for the food to come which is unfortunate. Wish they hire more people in the future. Around 20-30 dollars per person. I like the dish and how they taste like overall. Taste pretty authentic to me and rich flavors. Wish they hire more people I was just sitting there and starving.
The food is good.
Amazing homemade food! Delicious flavors .. I can't wait to go back ASAP. It seems like they just opened recently so will benefit from more decorations and photos showing the beauty of the country and people and foods of Afghanistan. Could also add more drink options. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
