I wish I could give six stars! Really incredible food, the best I've had. Lamb kebab was tops. Not crowded at all, clean, extraordinary. Naan fresh.
Insanely delicious food. Seriously.
Also, the place is nicely decorated and indicates that the proprietors care about the place to make it a comfortable place to sit and eat.
I would have given it a 5 for the wonderful food (authentically Afghan, according to the people who took me there as an out-of-town guest), fine dining ambiance, reasonable prices, generous serving sizes, and obsequiously friendly table service, but...
The men's bathroom was a mess. :-(
This is probably not a big deal for some people, but if my wife had been here, and the ladies room looked like the men's room, we probably would have got up, paid for anything that we had already eaten, and left the restaurant. Her theory is that the bathrooms in a restaurant should be spotless so that the restaurant staff can be totally clean when they exit the bathroom and come into direct or indirect contact with any food. She might be a little extreme, but it does bother me, too, when I see a restaurant bathroom that looks worse than a hardware store bathroom.
The proprietors need to learn that EVERY job is important (even the non-sexy jobs like mopping floors and cleaning toilets). Also, the cleaning should not be done by the cooks, because they are already busy making all that great food for us. Better that the cooks stay in the kitchen!
If I were the restaurant owner, or even just the person in charge of the diining room, I would clean the bathrooms at least once a day before opening the restaurant, just out of a sense of respect and appreciation for our customers.
The food itself was so good that I will take the time to visit this restaurant again, next time I am in the area. If the bathrooms are spotless, next tine, I will update this review to show their improvement, and make it 5 stars instead of 4.
Excellent food at good prices. We did the Dinner for 4 for $25/head that included tea, appetizers, sides, mains, and desert. Well worth it, would recommend!
