Very very very bad service and the food was very late and the waiter was upset and not nice. I am very upset about my bad experience with you, although the food is all delicious, but the service makes you not see the other advantages

Very rude service. Came with my family 2 hrs before closing and the staff said we wouldn't be able to eat here and that the place was closed. Instead of being polite, they treated us poorly. My family and I used to come here frequently, but after this experience it'll be hard to want to come back. I recommend new staff be hired because they're ruining the quality of the restaurant and its unfortunate.

Very cozy atmosphere. The food was good, but I would suggest less bread next time because people get filled on the bread. The staff were kind, and the food was fresh. They give you a soup as a starter, aush, for free. I got the boneless chicken it was delicious but again no rice or salad just bread comes with the boneless chicken. Easy on the bread guys. The bolani and badamjan was very home like, yummy. Green tea has cardamom in it. Overall good experience I would come back.

Such a terrible restaurant and service. First Of all, it’s not clean at all; it looks messy, and as soon as you enter the restaurant it has a terrible smell. Second, they did not bring the food I ordered, and they were not sorry even. I asked them to bring blank tea with my food, after asking them 3 times, they said someone went to the market to bring blank tea. They did not bring it anyway. Without giving any service, they charged me $14 for the tip. The food is also not tasty, I won’t go there anymore and I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please put this on your blacklist!

Amazing food with family friendly atmosphere. Nice place for lunch and dinner or making party events. Wonderful customer service. If you like grill food best place in town. Juice kabobs with vegetable platters

This restaurant came highly recommended but sadly it did not live up to it. We were served sink water that was not even cold; then offered single pepsi's in a bottle with no other option for drinks and no refills; the food - white rice and qabli on same plate - rice filled up 3/4 of the plate and hardly any meat with the amount of rice given and we ordered extra meat; 2 meatballs per plate with 4 small pieces of chicken; bonjon burani side order never came; qabli has too much of a spice that did not taste well; the tea - for an Afghan restaurant at the very least the tea should be good - we were

I went to this restaurant for an Ethiopian wedding. Large and beautiful hall. Large parking space, this is important because I live in DC and parking is a thing in DC. Food was awesome, I had the opportunity to taste raw meat. Loved it. Also drank the Ethiopian honey wine. Awesome

Tasty Afghan food in an Afghan American owned authentic restaurant. Large banquet hall available for weddings and other large events. Excellent service, diverse clientele, simple menu, but with lots of choices. Enough marketing for over 50!cars. Highly recommended!
