I thoroughly enjoyed my food here. I lived in Uzbekistan (just north of Afghanistan) for several months and their food was similar to Afghan. I ordered the palaw and it brought back a lot of nostalgia from my time in Uzbekistan.
The rice dish can be a bit greasy but that's what makes it so tasty. The chicken buried under the pile of rice was quite flavorful. The price is a bit steep but I'm guessing it's higher since they allow you to bring your own wine. My wife and I split the plate and it was enough for both of us. She was especially full, but I was just satisfied. Our plate was $20 but it would have been a bit too expensive for me if we each got our own dish.
Service was pretty poor. It started off well, but ended poorly. We made reservations because it usually fills up quickly so we were able to sit down when we arrived. We placed our orders and the food came out in good time. After finishing our meal, my friend had dessert coming. It took probably around 10-15 minutes after we were all finished and they had cleared our table before her rice pudding came out. We noticed that the restaurant had completely filled up and it looked as though they were understaffed. That seemed odd to me since most of the people there made reservations so they should be prepared. They didn't bring the bill then so we had to flag down a waiter to get it.
For food, I would give it 4 stars, but the service was 1 star. For me, food always outweighs the service which is why I'm giving it 3 stars.
