Delicious and fresh Pakistani & Afghani food! The naans were excellent and soft. The chicken karahi, butter chicken, and kabobs (both beef and chicken were all excellent). The kabuli was also very enjoyable. Decent amount of seating, including a carpeted floor seating spot! Friendly service.

It’s a nice clean small halal restaurant with predominantly afghani menu. Prices on the menu are very reasonable & easy to understand . Each order comes with choice of 2 sides which could be naan, salad or rice which was good. There was a steady flow of takeout orders . Ambiance is laid back . Service is slow though. It took approximately half an hour for our food to be served. We ordered afghani pilao, beef chapli, mutton Karhai , bbq chicken platter with 2 naans/item as a side (we ended up with 6 huge naans). Chapli kabab had authentic flavor. Mutton Karhai was a disappointment and very small serving. It was sweet and very very tomato ish, hardly had meat and I couldn’t taste the meat at all. Chicken seekh kabab was okay with a dominating gram flour flavor . Afghani rice was legit , tasty . And naan is to die for! Hot, Puffy legit naan! Unlike other places, they offer any choice of naan , plain or garlic as a side without any extra charge. Our bill was well under $100. If I will be in the area, will go there for their chapli kabab & naan .
Very small place. Nice staff. Food was very tasty to me. Maybe I haven’t had too many Pak Aghan food but to my taste buds they were good. The plates were served very bare bones. My beef mixed grill was served only on the rice and nothing else. No sides, no garnish. Portions were also definitely on the smaller side. I ordered and confirmed my lamb curry only to find that it was entered as chicken so we had chicken curry. It was very flavorful but also very small for the price too. The naan was very soft, fluffy, and also very good. My kids were very amused at the $3.50 2 liter soda that I bought vs the 2.00 can. We got there just as another family finished so we were able to sit down at the floor dining area. It was a nice addition to add to the experience.
The food's quality and authenticity were phenomenal! Would be a 5-star rating if it wasn't for: 1. Lack of salt (almost no salt in some dishes) and 2. An exaggerated amount of oil in the curry dish (Lamb karahi).
Highly recommend the Chapli kebab and the Afghan beef pulao!
Overall a solid spot. Food is amazing. People are nice. What more you want! The lamb chops on Saffron rice are absolutely valid and I highly recommend it. Daal was also really good. Chicken Mix Grill was fire as well. Overall 9/10. Only complaint is the Halwa was a little dull in flavor. Besides that everything was amazing!
