This is a gem of a restaurant! I have never been disappointed in a meal here -- we even pick dinner up for takeout. We had a friend visiting who had never had Afghan food before and was excited to try it and is now a huge fan. I highly recommend Zamarod!!
Maybe no better value for your dollar considering quality and quantity of the food. It's delicious, quaint, authentic, and worth the drive from wherever you are.
We loved the food and the service. Great place and even better food. M
Made from scratch goodness that has you making yummy noises.
Our local favorite. Never a disappointment. Recommend unequivocally.
Can't stay away. So incredibly delish!!!
If the taste buds are happy, I'm happy.
Simply outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants, for both lunch and dinner.
Great food love it! Best of all the owner is friendly and a great Chef!
This place is just plain excellent. Had family there for dinner, between us pumpkin, eggplant, salmon, beef, chicken, lamb. Perfect preparation, always comes out physically hot. Sauces are great as is the bread. And proprietor and service really sets them apart, very gracious, feels as much like a home as a restaurant. My favorite around here hands down. Look forward to returning, again.
Fantastic! We tried the hummus, a pumpkin dish, the steak kabob, and a couple other delicious dishes. We will definitely be back!
What a treasure! We loved everything about our experience— our outdoor table (though the dining room was lovely), the wine selection, the relaxed and competent service, the aushak, the mantoo, and especially the Quabili Palow! We will be back.
My husband and I have come here several times and it is one of our favorite local spots. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, and wonderful food. I especially recommend the appetizer sampler platter (great way to try different menu items in a perfect amount for 2 people).
6/27/2021: I ordered carryout 2 years ago, and I loved the food. I came here for dinner and tried different dishes... Oh my goodness, everything was delicious!! I got the short rib special, and the short rib was so tender. We ordered way too much food that I got 2+ meal of leftovers! He did forget that I ordered the Banjan, and I ended up taking that home.
I ordered the eggplant and the chicken kabob....amazingly delicious!! This is my first time at this restaurant. The owner and chef is very nice and he answered all my questions. His recipes are his mom's, and I love that because I feel like I am eating home cooked meals. I really enjoyed the decor while waiting for my food. I forgot to ask for sauces, but the food tasted great even without the sauces. I will definitely come back.
what a wonderful find! 5 of us rendezvoused there for a birthday dinner and everyone agreed the food was exquisite-fresh ingredients and inspired seasoning. . My husband is on a no oil vegan diet, and the owner grabbed a zucchini from the garden and the chef created a fennel, squash and chickpeadish that any michelin cook would have been pleased to serve (and everything off the menu was excellent too)The setting was classy and we give the Anatolian red wine a thumbs up as well. we will be back.
This is at least our fifth lunch here in the last seven months. We usually go after hiking Riverbend Park or Great Falls and it is a great motivator. The food is out of this world (my husband was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Afghanistan) and we both live the owner who is charming and welcoming! What a super find!!
Outstanding lunch after hiking at Great Falls. Niaz was wonderful and was more than happy to prepare a table for us on the patio. Food is fantastic and their homemade hot sauce (made from ghost peppers they grow on site) is a wonderful addition to any dish.
I got carry out because it was near their midday shut down. (Frankly i would have anyway on this occasion but just reminding diners to be cognizant of their much needed shift break) and it was FANTASTIC. I got two bowls of aush which my son inhaled one, the other made 2 meals for me. I love aush but their's is absolutely perfect. Got a couple apps as well... both so good i think i cried a little. Owner is kind and attentive and let me finish my drink without reminding me we were nearing the shut down (I'd never stay later) and I'm a little mad because this place is on my way home from work and I'll get cravings too often. Fantastic!
Excellent quality: recipes and dish presentation. Multiple reviews here compare the kitchen to the home cooked meals. I agree to the extent that the flavor combination suggests that the cook must have tried their meals before and carefully refined the combination of tastes to perfection (this is no small point!). I disagree in that home cooked meals are usually simple, and here even the side dishes are cooked with the complexity and attention a main dish in most other restaurants would infrequently deserve. Each dish of those we like the best (lamb shank, salmon kebob) combines dozens of ingredients and at least several spices in a unique and complex combination of flavors and tastes that change multiple times between when you first put the food in your mouth and until after you swallow.
The owner is very friendly.
