“ They offer authentic Afghan cuisine in a family-friendly setting. The decoration is very cute, featuring wall frames with pictures from around Afghanistan and handmade Afghan women's costumes. The staff are friendly and welcoming. For appetizer, we ordered “Banjaan”, “Fish Bites” and “Cavalo Nero Salad”. Banjaan was a great combination of eggplants, tomato sauce and yogurt, offering great taste and texture. For main, we ordered “Lamb Chops Plate”, “Sultani Kebab”, “Chaplee Kebab” and “Qabli Rice”. The Lamb Chops was sizzling when served which was very exciting. And the meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender. The yoghurt sauce served with Sultani kebab was a great dipping sauce and added more flavour to it. Qabli Rice was great combination of carrots and raisins and white rice; giving it great texture and aroma. There’s Green P street parking available on Queen Street. ”
