This is the best spot in all of Garment District and I’m so glad it has reopened. Warm, yummy bowls perfect for lunch or dinner. Got the chicken every time. Moist with rich flavors in both the meat and the sauces. Great intro to Afghan cuisine.

Lots of food, bang for the buck, quality Afghan food with great value. Rose lemonade drink: very refreshing, not too sweet, unique signature drink. Goes very well with the dishes. Chicken Sharma: chunks of chicken cooks to the right texture, very flavorful but not over powering. Bang for the buck, just when you think you finished all the meat, there is more. Raisin and fresh herbs was a delight to have with the rice and protein. Very fulfilling! Monbean soup: perfect hearty soup for the winter weather, Not in the picture: Mantu, nan bread, great hospitality Mantu: dumplings with yogurt sauce, carefully wrapped hot pockets, filled with beef and herbs(mint?) Nan bread: there is something special about it, the shape, the texture, I can munch on the bread as it is.

Phenomenal food and service here! I had the mantu and chicken and rice. Both were delicious with complex favors and we had excellent service as well. I can’t wait to go back.

Came here for lunch and had fantastic experience trying Afghan food for the first time. Their mantu dumplings and bolani appetizers are delicious. Had the eggplant korma plate and it was super flavorful. You will definitely leave here happy and full. Excellent customer service.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars but unfortunately google has 5 stars only. Nansense Burger and Masala fries are the best I’ve ever had. I recommend you give this a taste because it will also become your favorite. The service there is also amazing and made this an overall good experience. My new lunch spot. 😋
