First time, and will not be our last! From entering the restaurant and having our coats taken, to attentive wait staff ensuring our eating area was well kept. Truly felt we were dining with royalty. The Ceasar salad was so exquisite and flavorful, followed by the swordfish entree and lava cake finish. The experience was worth the value.

We really enjoyed our Valentine's Day dinner at Afghan Bistro. It was my husband's first time there and he really liked the food. Both of our entrees were delicious; lots of flavor and food arrived hot at our table. The service was perfect, the servers working together smoothly. Looking forward to my leftovers today! 😋
