We went there for the Valentine’s day. Ordered a la carte rather than the price fixe menu. The dumpling sampler was excellent. So was the lamb dish. The vegetarian dish was ok. The service was good. But the place is small and very cramped.

The food is always delicious at Afghania! We love the bread and accompanying sauces, the dumplings, and main courses, too.

This place is simply the best restaurant I have been to in my life, period. Our party ordered the mixed grill, chicken shinwari karahi, and lamb shank which were all a 10/10. The meat was grilled to perfection and all the sauces and seasoning layered on top were just bursting with flavors. Not to mention the service was incredible. The owner stopped by multiple times to check on us and’s help grab a few things for our table despite having a broken hand! Also they ordered us a complementary appetizer on the house since it was our first time here. Great spot and great food.
