Overall I enjoyed the restaurant and my dinner. But the outdoor experience was disappointing, too close to the street and with a bus stop right in front of us! My companions were great sports, but found the noise from the street and too-close passersby off-putting. The indoor dining area, which was fully booked, looked very nice.

Afghania is a truly unique and incredible place, featuring dishes you will not find anywhere else. There is a wide selection of both vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as a nice selection of appetizers. I love that the appetizer menu offers smaller versions of some of the entrees - as someone who would prefer several appetizers to one larger plate these options were perfect. The food was fresh, and seasoned perfectly and the service was attentive without being intrusive. If you are looking for a place with a very varied menu with options to please everyone in your group, I highly recommend Afghania. You will not be disappointed.

Our server was excellent and attentive. The food was delicious and well-presented. I've been going to Lebanese Taverna in its various incarnations for decades. It is, I suppose, a reflection of the times more than the restaurant: a mocktail for her, a beer for me, one appetizer, and an entree for each of us (not the most expensive ones) pushed the bill before tip over a hundred dollars. It's not a "quick budget night out" any more!

We love every visit to this restaurant. Every staff member is just fantastic, and the food is always amazingly consistent. Gotta love a place where "medium rare" actually means medium rare when it comes to the lamb kabobs. Been coming here for years and hope to keep doing so!!

A wonderful dining experience in all respects. We were greeted by the owner, exchanged pleasantries about the history of the venue, and then treated to a terrific dining experience - drinks, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Our party of 4 ordered the kebab 4-some and the set of all 5 dips to share. The breadth of flavors was fabulous. Service was quick and informative. Our reservation was well attended and with no alcohol our bill was <$150. And we took home a couple of meals worth of leftovers.
