    Amazing flavors, service, care, portion size, noise level, and attention! The servers work together as a team to ensure all guests are happy! Water is refilled without asking and the place is busy! Prices are very reasonable for the quality! This is our favorite restaurant in Northern VA!

    After hearing such positive feedback about Afghan Bistro I decided to try it . I made a reservation to ensure I would get seating for3 people . I found the atmosphere to be quite pleasing , quiet , peaceful & understated . It is in an area where there is a heavy industrial vibe , do not let that deterr you from going inside , once inside , you`ll find this location is not a big space . Personally , I like a smaller, less noisy , envirnoment when dining out , so I can carry on a conversation without screaming across the table . The food server greeted us when we arrived ,then escorted us to our seats . He was very hospitiable & very knowledgeable about the selections on the menu . He asked if we had any special requests or if we needed any special care in food prep ( gluten or lactose allergies , if anyone was vegan or vegetarian etc ) . He made some suggestions on the menu that proved to be beneficial.. The food came out quickly after ordering it and it was delicious . This is defintely not your typical Kabob place , the selections on the menu are much more unique , not only did it taste amazing ,the presentation was beautiful . The portions are enough to share if one wanted to , but we opted for separate entrees so we could take have the leftovers . Overall I was impressed with the quality , the service, the prices were reasonable and the " vibe " of the place was great ...you can even get a glass of wine or a cocktail if desired . Great little place ! this location is 1 of 4 locations , I`d like to try them all it was so good .

    Nothing short of exceptional. It's a small space that has comfortable seating and attentive wait staff. The menu has so many choices and I hope to eat my way through most of it. The food & beverages are full of warm, melt in your mouth, flavors.

    Delicious meal and gracious staff. Our group of 4 enjoyed everything. Amazing appetizers, perfect bread. One of the best restaurant experiences in the DMV. I had the smoked/braised lamb shoulder over a bread base. Perfect seasoning. Described as spicy -- yes but in balance and does not overwhelm the many other flavors. Great value for a meal this good in a restaurant this nice. Don't let the Springfield strip mall location next to I-95 fool you.

    Superb Value, great food, outstanding service from Keyvan. I booked a short notice reservation for a solo bachelor Saturday supper and everything hit the spot! I’ve been eating here since 2019, but kept it simple and tried the Hot Mazza Assortment and the Halal Beef Bistro Burger for the first time. WaPo reviewer Tom Sietsma said the burger was the sleeper item on the menu, and YEAH - I agree. Finished off with the Vanilla Ice Cream with Rose Water & Cardamom. ¡¡ Great Stuff !!
