    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.

    One of my all time favorite spots. Everything is delicious, but their grilled beef and lamb is next level.

    Such a wonderful experience from an unassuming exterior. Service, food quality and taste were outstanding. We both enjoyed the lamb chop and beef tenderloin appetizer and lamb shank moghuli dinner. Made our anniversary evening exceptionally memorable. We'll be back.

    Seated quickly, bread appetizer and sauces were amazing. Food came quickly and had a pleasant presentation and was hot and delicious. Service was great. Small area but they do well with the space they have. Highly recommend and will go again.
