I've been there many times. Truly varied, sophisticated, and nuanced Afghan cuisine--well beyond just the kabobs that dominate many other Afghan restaurant menus. Good service, reasonable prices considering the quality of the food, and tables well spaced and thus the noise level is rarely if ever a problem, unlike at so many other restaurants nowadays.

We had a GREAT time at Equinox. This is a very special restaurant. The entire menu is fabulous. I love their ability to cover both delicious omnivore and exquisite plant based options. All food is impeccable. There is something for everyone - and I’ve noticed people of all ages and much diversity. The staff is warm and inviting and the atmosphere is “elevated cozy”. LOVE this place. congrats on the one year in the new space. Support this DC treasure!
