Description

In a vibrant culinary scene, one restaurant has emerged as a popular destination for Afghan cuisine, boasting fresh, homemade dishes that keep patrons returning. While many praise the generous portions and affordability, recent experiences highlight significant service issues. Diners have reported slow service, incorrect orders, and unresponsive staff, detracting from the overall enjoyment. However, for those who manage to experience the delightful offerings, such as lamb with sabzi and eggplant borani, the flavors evoke nostalgia and satisfaction.

We had dinner here last night, and the food was absolutely 10/10 — delicious, flavorful, and served fresh. However, the cleanliness needs serious improvement. While the dining tables were clean, the floor seating area was extremely dirty. It looked like someone had eaten there and no one had cleaned up afterward — food bits, trash, and noticeable dirt were all over the floor. If they can step up their hygiene and maintenance, this place would easily be a 5-star experience. The food deserves it. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

This place is one of my favorite Oakland restaurants, period! Their food is so good, and super affordable ???? This is their Chicken Thigh Kabob plate. Highly Recommend

We had the Lamb with Sabzi and it was amazing! A big chunk of lamb and tasty sabzi. It reminded me of Afghanistan. I didn't like the mantoo with corn on top and a little spicy but it was not bad, just a personal taste and based on what I've had before.Service was good. The place is huge! The green tea is from a tea bag, I was sort of expecting that for 4 dollars at least itcould be from a tea leaves. The yogurt drink with mint was very good. I'll be back!
