Overall Rating: 5 stars Dining Type: Takeout Food Presentation: N/A Food Taste: 5 Cost: $$ Service: 5 Atmosphere: N/A Cleanliness: N/A Guests: 4 Guests Meal: Butter Chicken, Tika Marsala, ½ Chicken Meal(What I ate): Curry Beef Comments: Everything was seasoned well with delicious deep flavors. Rice was cooked perfectly. Beef was tender. Chicken was crispy but moist. Naan was fluffy and delicious. I’m told the Hummus is amazing.

My girlfriend works across the street and we absolutely love this place. When you first enter, you don’t feel like you’re entering some show and I look at restaurants like that as they care more about the food and boy my assumptions are right. The food is absolutely fantastic! We always get the same waiter, and he is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming.

We traveled from Peoria to this restaurant; it was well worth the trip. The Emperor Platter that my spouse ordered was delicious! Every bite of it was flavorful. My current favorite cuisine is Afghani food 😉! A special thank you to the people working there, who were really helpful and courteous. If you're craving fantastic meals, guys, visit this eatery.

The food was an A+! Even the plain rice was outstanding. We had butter chicken and chicken broast. Extremely satisfied. Wow. The chicken was so tender. Very impressed. The chicken pulao with carrots and raisins was great. The staff were so attentive. One tiny request on the butter chicken is just put a little less salt and it will be 11 out of 10. One more tiny constructive criticism: though the upstairs main dining room is already nice, please consider some soft glowing lighting and/or candle-type lighting, maybe flowers. Just think about the atmosphere being a little more clean and warm and inviting. But I do plan to come back here every time I visit St. Louis. Loved your delicious meals and so proud to see such an excellent halal restaurant. Thanks so much for an enjoyable night out with my husband!

Absolutely amazing! One of the best restaurants in St Louis! Got the samosas and chicken curry and they tasted fantastic. Soaked the rice with the green sauce that came with the samosas because it was so good. Only feedback is that you must tip in cash for it to actually go to waiter. Adding tip via card goes directly to the owner. Our waiters were incredible so I hope that this changes so that the added tip goes to our waiters!

The doogh (ayran) was priced $2.5 on the menu, but they charged us $4. That's not a big deal, but things should be priced correctly on the menu. Amazing food with several vegetarian options. Some vegan dishes too! The restaurant food is good and even their catering is fantastic!! Strongly recommended, especially since there aren't too many Afghan restaurants in the area.

Our party of four visited over the weekend. Everything we ordered was delicious. The lamb fell off the bone, the chicken was tender. Service was attentive. Serving portions were just right for the price. The bread was a bit dry and flavorless and the Turkish coffees were just served in massive to-go cups. These are minor details, but worth noting if you're considering adding these items to your order. They might be due for a deep cleaning , but everything was tidy and certainly nothing felt gross. Atmosphere was pleasant. Great location. Metered Street parking available or a quick walk from a metered lot. We will definitely be visiting again!
