Afghania - afghan gourmet

An amazing experience! The service was fantastic but the food was another story… everything was absolutely fantastic. The meat was great the spices perfect. Very highly recommended, our table tried 4 different dishes and each one was top notch.

If you want to impress your friends and family with an extravagant night of unique, delicious food at considerably reasonable prices, then look no further. Forget about best afghan food, or even best middle-eastern food. This was some of the best FOOD I’ve ever had. The flavor profiles were stupendous and very unique. The bread served at the outset comes with four different sauces, each with their own flavor, and they are all delicious independently, and when mixed together. We also ordered the dumpling flight and each was fantastic in its own right. Their menu boasts a wealth of diverse selections, and includes robust vegetarian and vegan offerings. The staff were prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere features a soft, dim light, with high-class embellishments like white table cloths and quality silverware, coupled with pleasant, upbeat, ambient music in the background. Considering the overall experience, the average menu price is impressively reasonable. I have had less pleasant dining experiences for double the price at other locations. I highly recommend Afghania.

Wonderful dinner here! The food was excellent- we had the dumplings sampler, vegetarian flight and an amazing lamb dish. The pistachio cake for dessert was delicious. Nice ambiance, not noisy at all. Our waitress, Catherine, was terrific. Very attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. I would come back!

One of the best dining experiences I've had in DC. We got their dinner special, which consisted of a selection of dumplings, two lamb dishes, several of their vegan stews, and two bread dishes. Everything was so good, and the portions were huge. The staff was super accommodating and really went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

What a great experience! Kathryn was a consummate host and guide through our dinner. The food was excellent, from appetizers through the main course and dessert. The smoked/grilled meats were phenomenal. The sauces were astounding and the dumpling sampler was amazing. Next time we’re in town, we will go again!

An elevated experience. Flavor development unlike anything I’ve had. Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff with excellent recommendations. Wish I could give six stars.

One of the best meals ever! Definitely worth trying it. Great food, amazing staff and experience! Food is absolutely excellent!!!!

My wife and I had a great meal at Afgania. The service was impeccable- we were promptly greeted at the door and seated. The server was incredibly efficient and helpful- he freely advised us on the popular dishes and his favorites. The dumplings are amazing!! Chicken and lamb fall apart and are expertly seasoned. The vegan and vegetarian menu is quite extensive. I’d advise sharing an entree. The serving sizes are very generous.
