"An Unexpected Culinary Adventure: Not Your Average Afghan Food Experience Dear fellow food enthusiasts, I recently embarked on a culinary expedition, hoping to savor the delightful flavors of my homeland, Afghanistan. However, what awaited me was an adventure of epic proportions, where reality and expectation clashed in the most unexpected ways. Brace yourselves for the rollercoaster ride I experienced at this unique establishment. First and foremost, let 's discuss the food. Oh dear, where do I begin? Picture this: frozen meet (yes, you read that right) lurking inside both the sambosa and mantoo. It was as if they were trying to bring a whole new meaning to the term chilled meat. Needless to say, this unexpected frosty surprise did not align with my vision of a warm, savory delight. Now, let 's talk about the infamous qaboli. Ah, qaboli, the pinnacle of Afghan cuisine. To my dismay, what arrived on my plate bore no resemblance to the beloved dish I hold dear to my heart. It was like witnessing a culinary imposter trying to pass off as a member of the Afghan food family. Alas, the poor imposter fell short and left me chuckling in disbelief. And then, there was the ashak, oh dear ashak. It arrived colder than an iceberg in the Antarctic. As I took a bite, I couldn 't help but wonder if I had mistakenly stumbled upon a new culinary trend: iced dumplings. Perhaps they were experimenting with a novel twist on chilled appetizers? I 'll leave that to the avant-garde chefs of the world to ponder. Now, let 's shift our focus to the service. The confusion that permeated the entire shop was truly a sight to behold. It was as if the staff had attended a masterclass in perplexity, and they excelled beyond measure. From the moment I stepped foot inside, the air was thick with bewilderment. I couldn 't help but wonder if I had inadvertently walked into a parallel universe where chaos reigned supreme. They were even serving two food on one plate; quite a capability!!! Lastly, let 's discuss the payment method, which brought an extra layer of absurdity to this already wacky experience. For some reason, they only accepted cash or direct bank transfers, so I choose the direct bank transfer. Talk about breaking the boundaries of convention! As I fumbled through my wallet, desperately searching for those ancient pieces of paper we call banknotes, I couldn 't help but feel like I had traveled back in time to an era where digital payments were but a distant dream. In conclusion, my dear fellow foodies, my encounter with this Afghan food establishment was a whirlwind of surprises. While the experience didn 't align with my expectations, it certainly left an indelible mark on my memory. It 's safe to say that this unique fusion of confusion, frozen meat, culinary imposters, and unconventional payment methods will forever be etched in my culinary adventures archive. Bon appétit, A bemused but entertained food explorer"

"We arrived at around 6 on a saturday with a group of 12 people without reservation, but we had no problems finding a table. The menu had a choice of persian dishes but I could not really figure out the differences from the description, but that wasn't a big issue. I ordered a main dish and a starter at around 6.15. And then the waiting began. We didn't get our drinks for more than half an hour, and the beers were not cold at all. We waited a total of 1h 45 min before we got our food, only after I checked at the counter and they said they were gonna bring all the plates on our table at once. Spoiler altert: They didn't. They brought some of the main dishes, but still we didn't get the rice for another 15 min. Side note: I never got the starter I ordered. They even managed to serve the dessert to one of us before anybody had anything else to eat. My main dish was okay, it was served in a seperate bowl together with a plate of rice. My friends were not that lucky. Some of the dishes were simply cold and not seasoned at all, just a bowl of an oily substance that did not taste like anything. One of us returned it, but it showed up on the bill nonetheless. Oh yes: at 8, a belly dancer showed up and performed in the restaurant with music from the boxes for around half an hour. The staff seemed to have nothing to do, since they stopped working and rather took pictures of the dancer. So: If you like belly dancing and bad food topped with really poor service, come here. Otherwise: Don't."
