"Afghan food is nearly impossible to find on the Eastside outside of home kitchens, but thankfully Afghan Cuisine is here to fill that void. The concise menu is a collection of greatest hits: start with an order of the tender mantoo (Afghan dumplings), add one or two stewy vegetable dishes (the borani bademjan is eggplant slowly cooked to a sultry, almost dip-like tenderness), and round out the meal with a subtly brined and gently cooked lamb shank on top of long-grain rice with raisin and carrots in the qabili pallow (a famed Afghan rice and meat dish)." - Brett Bankson

Not too great of service, but the food was fantastic. We got an eggplant dish that was very good, the okra was okay but not for the price, lamb shank is very popular, the bread was good but not for the price, you may need to order extra rice because not very much comes. The green chili sauce on the table was really yummy.

I would give two stars. This Afghan place food is just ok but food is too much expensive and they have a very small menu. I have tried many Afghan food restaurants with a lot of menu dishes. Besides they take a long time to serve. We ordered two plates and it took forever to come. I felt like I could have much better lunch with this money I spent. Wouldn't go again.

Great place for filling and tasty Afghan food. We had a chicken shami kabob platter and a lamb tikkah kabob platter, which we enjoyed thoroughly. Service is good. Recommend visiting.

I had been with my friends for the first time. We ordered chicken sheekh kabob( which comes with rice salad), pakaura (potato bhaji) 3 pieces in on order and qurme murgh(which is a gravy served with rice). Didnt like the pakora as it was slightly tangy and I felt less pieces served for the price. However the kabob was very delicious and the rice served with the kabob was very delicious. The qurme murgh was also good. Would want to come here once again to try other items from the menu.

If you're craving for an authentic Afghani food, Afghan Cuisine is the best place to be. Its aroma, taste, presentation..everything is so perfect that you will feel like eating more even when you're beyond full. 🤙👌

We ordered takeout on a Friday night and the highlight was the kabobs (chicken) which were a koobideh style. Also, the kabuli pilaw rice was great! However, the lamb shank was not as tender as I prefer, and the shank was larger, indicating more of Mutton than lamb. Definitely recommend, but wish there was a way to get the kabuli pilaw rice with other meats or itself. Too much $$$ for that shank.

When we arrived, the whole place was occupied but they made space for us!! The service was great and they were super polite. The pallow was amazing. Loved it and will definitely come back :)

If you can only eat one dish, try Qabuli pallow, the famous Afghanistan cuisine. The lamb is full of flavors, simlpy falls off the bone. Ferni is also good as desert, if you don't mind eating very sweet stuff. Try to come there early, as the service can be slow during peak hour.
