| - A nice gem in this plaza, along with several others! I agree with the review below, in terms of this plaza not getting the amount of traffic or attention it deserves. It was my first time eating Afghan food and I was impressed by the friendly service and amazing flavours I came across. When we walked in, there wasn't anyone behind the counter so we weren't sure if they were ready for costumers. A man popped out from the back door to greet us and invited us to sit down anywhere, as they were still setting up for the day. Before taking our order, the same man from before explained to us some common spices used in Afghan cooking, along with what some of the menu items were. I ended up ordering the tikka platter: lamb, a salad, and long grain brown rice with raisins and carrots. It took some time to prepare our dishes, and we were certain everything was prepared fresh. It came out as a huge portion of food, served with a side of spicy garlic sauce. All of it was sooo good, and the rice----YUM. I must say, when I first read about raisins and carrots on rice, I was skeptical, but it was an amazing combination of flavours, paired with the lamb and sauce. This place has undoubtedly made me a fan of Afghan cuisine! Very reasonable prices too.
