| - I'm glad I reviewed this after the transformation. It was still quaint, but the renovations have provided more comfortable seating with their booths.
The menu is very extensive compared to before. Before, they had predominantly afghan dishes but now it features some Arab and Indian entrees or appetizers.
The food is absolutely delicious. Plates typically come with rice, meat, salad and bread. The carbs themselves are perfectly done - Afghan rice and bread are murderous (in the best way). Kababs are seasoned well, juicy and fresh. I particularly like the chicken breast kabab and beef kabab, which is why I usually opt for the Waziri classic. If you're sharing with someone else or want more variety, the N&K grill has 3 different types of meat. If you haven't ever tried it, the lamb shank with carrots & raisins is a treat and a definite staple of afghan cuisine. Also, the mango smoothie will complete your life! I'm ashamed to say it, but I drank both my own and my friends in the same night. Please don't judge me.
Not to mention, if you've got quite a few people they also have the family platters for 4-5 people. The price point is amazing. There was 4 of us who split it and there was still a lot of food left over. I'd say you could share the food comfortably among 5 or even 6 people. The family platters also come with many different dishes so you get to try a variety.
Only thing that's lacking somewhat is the service. You go up to order and pick up your food, which is fine. However, I always find that I get up at least 2 times to ask for something else whether it's napkins, extra cutlery, water, etc. I hate taking breaks in between inhaling my food so it can be annoying, but nothing that turns me away.
