It's a nice little store that sells awesome Afghan food. Bolani was amazing! Such a big serving and the sauce that comes with it was very nice and spicy! Also had the Afghan burger (it isn't your typical beef patties but it has sausage and boiled egg in it with veggies and fries) And chicken shawarma and those two were very affordable for what you get and delicious. The samosas are fresh and packed full of flavor. There is a small dining area in the back and the people that work there are very nice and accommodating. Explained to us the dishes that we were curious about and let us know that they might take a little longer than usual to serve us our food due to a big order that got right before we came in. It was worth the way.

Muhammad always greets you with a cheerful genuine smile, only matched by the care and love he has for the products and food within this hidden gem of a store. The insight he's given us has been fantastic, as well as tea recipes we would never considered, but did and loved. Love is what he has for everyone entering, and he's always willing to share his knowledge with you. The food, where to begin?!? It is quite literally scrumptious! For as long as we've frequented his store, the same chef has been in the back. All meals are made to order and piping hot! The samosas.... a must try! Get more than one as you'll regret it if you don't. Take it to go, or enjoy it/them in the back corner where a quaint seating area is. Refreshments are a plenty. His store has a variety of spices, canned foods, nuts, kitchenware, clothing, some appliances, and more. Give this gem of a store a try. You'll be back for more soon enough.

Great products that I can’t find other stores. Customer service is amazing. Highly recommend stopping by. *** 12/22/23- Update restaurant is open now and the lamb curry was super delicious. I can’t even describe how amazing the flavor was, especially with the chutney. Please try this asap! I am picking up more orders to take to home for the holidays. The customer service from the owners was hospitable and generous. ***update 1/26/24 I came back and tried the vegetable and meat korma with plain rice.It was very yummy and addicting. First time trying and it might be my new favorite!

I have passed by this store/ restaurant many times without stopping. Well, it turns out it was a big mistake. Today I discovered new gem in Sacramento. Store has a lot of stuff and everything very reasonably priced. But for me the highlight was the restaurant section.ambiance is very homey, serving is traditional and so authentic it made me feel like I was at home. I ordered Qabeli Pulao it was soo... delicious it was more than anybody can possible finish at an incredible price. Other menu items looks delicious too. I will come back for more to try other dishes. I recommend this place to all of you. And I will tell about to all my friends and coworkers. Place has plenty of seating and parking space and staff very professional and friendly at the same time. I wish this business the best of everything.
