What WilsonLin likes about Afghan Horsemen Restaurant:
Had amazing lamb chops and hummus here. The food is delicious and the service was great. Definitely recommend checking this place out! I can't wait to come back again. View all feedback. What Nicole Wilkinson doesn't like about Afghan Horsemen Restaurant:
In a word - disappointing. Although the restaurant was not busy, our order arrived cold at our table. It took over 10 minutes to get it warmed up. I had to go into the kitchen to find out what was happening. The food was bland and unexciting.. For all the exotic decor the food could have been Greek. Tough, stringy roast lamb and roast potatoes with rice! Greek salad with my spouse's chicken in tomato sauce? View all feedback.

If you are looking for a feast, the Afghan rider should be your destination. The vegan plate is consistently good and very fillable. Yum!
