Afghan Cuisine

I had the dolma and beef kabob with chickpeas. The dolma was warm and sticky, perfect. The beef kabob and chickpeas were also both great. I don't usually eat beef but wanted to try it here. It is an order at register and sit at table place. I definitely recommend this place.

I was in Richmond yesterday and wanted to check out some Afghani food. I've had a great deal of experience with the restaurants up in the Washington DC area.

The dumplings, especially mantu, were also fantastic, served with a rich yogurt and tomato sauce. Everything tasted homemade and comforting. Afghan food feels like a unique mix of Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and South Asian flavors. If you enjoy trying new cuisines, Afghan dishes are definitely worth exploring.

Absolutely Delicious & Warm Hospitality! I recently dined at the Afghan cuisine restaurant near VCU in Richmond, and it was an unforgettable experience!
