Critics love it and so does everyone else who has tried it. There are very few Afghani restaurants in the area, nevertheless, this place could rival the top restaurants of any type. It is a constant on the San Francisco Chronicle's list of the best 100 restaurants in the City. It has an elegant, intimate yet casual atmosphere with traditional Afghani touches. The seekh kebab which is lamb marinated in a puree of onions, sun-dried tomatoes and sun-dried grapes with sauteed eggplant and rice is one of the most expensive things on the menu. It has a variety of California wines available by glass or bottle. The fine selections of chardonnay, beaujolais and zinfandel will also please your palette. Make reservations well in advance.
