"The old Afghan Village has been completely transformed into a beautiful oasis with 3 distinct cozy sitting areas under new ownership. \n\nThe new Kabul - Tehran Restaurant has been tastefully renovated and makes you feel as you have just stepped into a Sultans palace in a small village along the old Silk Route. The interior design leaves an wonderful impression. \n\nThe order process is very personal, you see and choose what you want based on the prepared displays and side menu. The kind woman who served us made a recommendation to get stewed lamb that evening, which I did. The lamb was exquisite in its flavourful stew along with my choice of Afghan rice and a self selected ingredients salad. There is a side fridge with traditional Middle Eastern juices and pops. It looks like there is traditinal tea, however we did not inquire.\n\nMy dad ordered a chicken kebab and beef kefte which they made fresh and grilled in front of us, it came with steamed basmatti rice and salad. Delicious and healthy. Overall great value and very personal service, more fine tuned than Bamiyan Kebab. I would compare this place to a smaller version of the Sultans Tent Restaurant in terms of decor; but it is not an overpriced trap for tourists as there were 3 families there and they looked like locals. The menu captures the best dishes of Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Pakistan.\n\nJust around the corner is an Afghan pastry shop and bakery where we went for dessert.\n\nThis place is a gem. We plan to be back again this weekend to celebrate a birthday. Welcome to the neighbourhood!"^^ .
