Small shop but great fresh food, loved the complimentary tea. Chapli Kabob Burger was off the chain. Very very good. We will definitely be back for the tender juicy lamb kabobs.

Very good food everyone enjoyed. Also, interesting for our family to try a new set of dishes from Afghanistan, who knew?!?!? Really enjoyed this experience, the dining room is very utilitarian, maybe ordering as takeout would be a good idea.

One of the best places to have authentic Pakistani kadhai in North Carolina! We had the mutton kadhai (half), it was served piping hot, the tomato based gravy was flavorful and the meat was extremely tender. It’s served with naans, plenty for two people. We also had the chicken koobideh, that was decent. Next time we’ll try the Kabuly Uzbeki Pulao and lamb chops. Those dishes appeared to be pretty popular, several patrons had ordered them.

BLESS THE HANDS THAT PREPARED THIS FOOD AND GOD BLESS THE AFGHAN PEOPLE! This was so amazing, and YES, Afghan food can be soigne! Every detail was delicious. The Chicken Karahi HALF was so FLAVORFUL: you get smokiness from the cooking in the karahi, LAYERS OF SPICE and aromatics, and the chicken was so JUICY. The NAAN was soft and FLUFFY with right amount of chewiness. The Kabuli Rice was TENDER, the raisins were rehydrated before cooking, so they were sweet and soft. Faluda is just like Vietnamese che or pudding. The rose is fragrant and not at all like soap. It was a very fun dessert. Others say the noodles are not soft enough, but I LIKED IT, and I think cold rice noodles are just that texture. overall, a MUST TRY!

This restaurant serves the best Afghan dishes. The place is clean, and the food is incredibly delicious. The dishes look like they were made in their home country. I recommend everyone to try this restaurant. Also, their portions are generous and filling. The desserts are tasty too, especially the baklava. This is an excellent spot for people who want to experience authentic Afghan cuisine. I highly recommend it. Finally, I want to thank them for their kind and respectful service.

This was such a random pick on a Saturday night for us and we were not expecting anything. But when I took the first bite of their chicken kadhai, I was thanking our stars haha. The food is outstanding, never had such an amazing Kadhai chicken. Their chicken kabab is so tender and tasty. We also tried their faluda(the noodles could be a little more soft) chai and complementary firni ( I guess it’s for first time customers may be), none of these dishes disappointed. Would definitely go there again and try their other items. People are humble sweet and service is to the point. It’s a small place but gets pretty busy. Must try. Highly recommend it.

WOW! Highly recommend if you are looking for afghan/ Mediterranean food. So many good things to say about this place. A hidden gem in the Cary area. The food was freshly cooked to perfection and the smell followed by the taste really sealed the deal. Every menu item was so delicious and flavorful! We tried Kabuli pulao lamb shank so tender it falls of the bone, lamb kabob, chicken karahi, afghani chicken botti I would say not a single item we ordered that was a miss. At the end we had special dessert cream- falooda Definitely a place I will keep in mind.
