Enjoyed an early evening meal. Initial order prepared wrong, so had an extra long wait for one of our two meals ordered. We allowed 90 minutes for the experience (had a business meeting to attend), but it took closer to two hours to complete the experience. Food was tasty. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The good was just ok. Nothing really wrong with it, just wasn't as good as I was expecting from as an expensive a place as it was. Waitress had to ask the chef to tell us what a menu item was. Rather pricey. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50

This is the best food I had during my short visit in Bloomington! Ordered Combination special with Lamb kebab $23.95) that comes with quabili Afghanistan 's national dish with core ingredients of steamed rice mixed with caramelized carrots and raisins as well as marinated lamb meat, according to internet), manto dumplings typically consist of a spiced meat mixture) and sambosa. It also came with a soup or salad; I went with red lentil soup. The bread and grilled eggplants are free. Everything was great! I was really sad about various restaurants in the area that had let me disappointed in the past few days; I am so glad that I made the right decision, with stomach filled great food, cook and season just right, for the last night in town. I would totally came back to visit and come to this place again. This is officially my favorite restaurant in Bloomington!
