I’ve eaten at Bistro Aracosia many times since it opened, and love bringing friends for their first experience with Afghan-influenced food and tastes. I keep coming even after moving to Takoma Park, and am always glad to return!

Another terrific experience at TFK! Samantha was my server today and did an absolutely stellar job. Not only was she extremely attentive despite her entire section being full, but she was also spot-on with refills and other requests. I could not have asked for better service! I know I can always count on excellent, high-quality food and service whenever dining at TFK. As a foodie, this is crucial for both myself and any guests I may bring along with me. Thank you TFK team!

My husband took me there for a birthday lunch today. Though they were very busy, the service was excellent and the food outstanding. I'm a vegetarian and especially loved the vegetarian flight lunch. Great bread, wonderful veggies, and delicious spicy chickpeas.

This is an old favorite for us. The food is always great and so is the service. The only problem was that they were out of several dishes that we tried to order. Still, they were accommodating and pleasant.
