    Afghan Bistro is great -- the food, service, and ambiance are excellent. The meal starts with delicious home-made bread and four dips. One can make a meal of the appetizers or order one of the main courses. I had a dish this time that was a stew of eggplant and tomato served over chicken breasts, all atop saffron basmati rice. There is a full bar. The desserts sound great, but I never get that far. Highly recommended. This was the first of a small chain of Aricosa restaurants by these owners and is still going strong.

    We've been dining at the Afghan Bistro for almost a decade now and the food continues to have amaze me. The complementary bread and dipping sauces are incredible; my favorite is always the next one I try. And the service has always been welcoming and friendly.

    Once again it was great. Amazing food, always tasty. Wait staff is attentive w/o being intrusive and can answer any questions about the food Something for everyone; lots of lamb options (all amazing), with a ton of veggie options as well We try to get there every few months and have never been disappointed Its small - reservations are a must; less crowded early

    Our food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the experience was delightful. Katherine was our waitress and she was outstanding. It was fun introducing our friend to the Afghan Bistro and we can't wait to return.
