What a feast! It's well worth the trip to Fremont for this amazing Afghan food. Going with a big group, we were seated on the floor next to the famous National Geographic picture of the "Afghan Girl." Very comfortable with plush, colorful over-sized pillows.
I had a chance to try many of the dishes, all bursting with flavor. Here are the best of the best:
* Borani Kadoo - Pumpkin with a yogurt sauce
* Aushak - Afghani styled ravioli stuffed with leek and seasonings, topped with ground beef and a special yogurt sauce
* Mantoo - Afghani dumplings steamed, stuffed with beef, onions, and seasonings, topped with ground beef, split peas and a yogurt sauce.
* Variety of chicken, beef and lamb kabobs
* Afghani Ice Cream - ice cream, flavored with rosewater and cardimon, topped with pistachios.
Bring a bottle of wine for small $5 corkage fee (no alcohol served). Portions are generous, so there's a good chance you'll be taking leftovers home (which my roommate drooled over). All in all, an unforgettable meal.

"You can eat at regular tables, or sit at low tables in a special room, to enjoy the well-cooked Afghan food in this nicely decorated, exotic storefront space. Try the tender, leek-stuffed ravioli called aushak (in vegetarian or meat-sauce-topped versions)..."
