Well worth trying if you like Afghan food.

Overall, our experience was okay but nothing that would make me go back. THE GOOD - the food was very good. - The bakery looked like it had some nice food- the bread was nice- the place did look fairly busy, which I guess is a good sign.THE BAD - the service was TERRIBLE. We were ignored as we walked in and had to ring the bell to get served. - the staff were not very friendly and seemed annoyed when we asked for something- plates were practically thrown on the table as they were served. I'm sure they didn't mean it like that, but the staff looked so unhappy that it wasn't welcoming at all- the banquet meals need a minimum of four people, unlike other Afghan restaurants - they forgot our bread - we asked for water, they forgot so we had to get it ourselves.

Food was delicious!! We have been here a few times, admittedly not for a couple of years, but had a hankering for some Afghan tonight. I think it may have changed owners somewhere is the last 2 years (yes it's been that long since we have been here) Restaurant has had a few cosmetic changes, it's still run down, dirty and not very nice inside, but put that aside. We have the mixed Kebob (lamb and chicken) an eggplant dish and a chicken dish (so sorry cannot think of the correct names for these!) and a garlic naan. Food was delicious, portions were a good size and it was reasonably priced.

We ordered the Afghan Special Set Menu for 4 people and also added a special dish of Afghan rice with lamb shank. There were 5 of us and the portions were generous, we even had leftovers to take home. The atmosphere was perfect for a cozy and enjoyable meal.

I would definitely recommend trying both the lamb and chicken kebabs.

All the food was very fresh and tasty, we loved the bread and found the meat was so well cooked it slid easily off the bone. Having never experienced Afghan cuisine before I now would not hesitate to recommend to friends. The dining room was comfortable and decorated with an exotic flair and we really felt like we had been transported to a different culture. A really fun lunch for our group. Thank you Afghan Masala!
