Kamdesh Afghan Cuisine

“actually tehir lamb burger is seriously underrated - juicy patty wiht actual afghan spices and crispy fries that remind me of the best pub food”

“no beer on tap just bottles and teh selection leans more toward soft drinks than what you want with hearty food like this”

“the lamb kabobs have serious heat and flavor - reminded me of nashville hot chicken but like with those warm afghan spices in there too, cardamom and cinnamon cutting through the fire. way more complex than the straight pepper heat we get back home”

“real talk the naan came out lukewarm adn kinda stale, nothing like the hot fluffy buttermilk biscuits im used to as a proper bread side”

“teh kids absolutely demolished teh kabuli pulao - huge portions of fragrant basmati rice with tender lamb even my picky eater couldnt resist and at these prices we left completely stuffed meh”

“parking around 14th street is a nitemare spent like 15 mins circling before finding a spot three blocks away ha”

“ok but the mantu dumplings are gorgeous honestly - perfectly pleated wiht bright red tomato sauce and green herbs on top like instagram gold and it tastes even better than pics idk”

“teeh lighting in here is kinda harsh and yellow tinted makes it tough to get good food shots without a ton of editing”

“i mean teh kabob platters look amazing - colorful rice with raisins and carrots, charred meat skewers, bright green cilantro chutney, warm naan all on these traditional metal plates that catch the light realy nicely”

“the beige walls and minimal decor dont really give you anything interesting to photograph - everything just looks kinda flat and institutional”

“look so happy they actually mark the vegan options clearly - the sabzi chalow was incredibly flavorful and filling, like layers of garlic and cilantro and all these warming spices that made me forget about not having meat at all”

“gotta say theee lentil dal was kinda watery and underseasoned compared to the other vegetable dishes - felt like an afterthot honestly”
