What JayRayMe likes about Afghan Gallery:
Just loved this experience from the moment we stepped through the door. Hospitality that makes you feel genuinely welcome, real and interesting engagement, superb food and service. If we were locals, we would be regulars. Highly recommend it! View all feedback. What Christine from NT doesn't like about Afghan Gallery:
Ask for the paper bill. We did so after we lined up and paid at the counter and the man just verbally confirmed our order. The prices did not match up at all! Food is very nice though. View all feedback.

The Afghan Gallery restaurant has received a mix of reviews, ranging from terrible experiences to excellent nights out. Customers have complained about raw meat, unhygienic food practices, slow service, and overcharging. However, others have praised the delicious and generous food portions, friendly staff, warm atmosphere, and tasty dishes such as pilaf and Afghani ice cream with saffron. While some diners have had disappointing experiences, including issues with vegan options and long wait times, others have found the restaurant to be a neighborhood gem that they highly recommend. Overall, the Afghan Gallery seems to have a range of experiences, so diners may want to consider both positive and negative feedback before deciding to visit.

Nice food, but not cheap. Exorbitant corkage of $38 for 2 bottles between 4 people. We weren't allowed to split a $332 bill between 2 couples.
