Staggeringly large portions make this Afghan restaurant a favorite. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. I haven't eaten here in a while--it's probably time to return. Mmmm!

Absolutely fantastic. Get the pumpkin. Go with three people and split two things. It's a little pricey but if you are willing to pay for good food you won't be let down.
