Description




Run by Afghan owners and a Spanish cook, this spot offers a menu stretching beyond standard grills to include seafood combos and fish platters alongside sides like hummus and kachaloo. While the rice is consistently tender, execution on the meats can vary; the lamb chops are a favorite, but the chicken sometimes leans chewy. Many first-timers opt for the Chef's grilled combo to sample a mix of everything. The experience comes with a few quirks: service can be slow, meat portions are sometimes noted as small, and the dining room's weak ventilation means you will likely carry the kitchen's aroma home on your clothes.
