Honestly, the best afghan food you can get in San Diego.
Taste very authentic and delicious.
First time I came here with my family and my kids love it (and they are very picky eaters) Delicious food, and best customer service you can get when it comes to this type of cuisine.
The servers are extremely kind and willing to accommodate anything necessary to ensure a pleasant experience.
Since I have been there, I regularly cater food from here for my family parties and every Friday I cater food from here for my employees and staff- they can’t get enough of it. I truly respect a place that not only has amazing food, but goes above and beyond in regards to customer service.
They also sell pastries and other unique afghan desserts to go. I highly recommend this restaurant for eating in, to go or even large catering. The owner has an extensive experience in the industry and knows what he is doing. Check it out, you won’t regret it. Thank you again , I will see you soon lol.


I was there with a group of 5 on January 3, 2024 Review: I got the qabuli Palau, it was very good! Rice was flavorful but not over powering in spices, and the lamb shank was tender.
My brother in law got the lamb seekh and loved it. Thre Mantu, chefs kiss, so good! The chutneys were tangy, slightly sweet not at all spicy (to me), and so very good.
I also enjoyed the homemade yogurt.
Oh and the potato bolani was so good too!! Overall I also enjoyed the apps more than the main dish but everything was amazing! I will be back for sure.


Went to dinner with girlfriends before strolling neighborhood Holiday lights.
We had an amazing time and left full, happy, and with leftovers! Service was fantastic and we received personalized recommendations.
Everything was made fresh to order from the chai green tea to our entrees.
