The area's first Afghan restaurant is named after a province of Afghanistan south of Kabul. Try any of the three kinds of great rice, some fine sour soups, terrific aushak (ravioli stuffed with leeks), the various kebabs you might expect, and an excellent vegetarian menu you might not, with a number of choices grilled and stewed in novel ways.

My fiance and I made reservations for a busy Saturday night with high expectations. The food came very quickly and we had cleared our plates in about 30 minutes, though we hadn't yet finished our glasses of wine. Although we had only been seated for about 40 minutes total, a server came by twice and, in a purposefully rude manner, checked to see if we had put our credit card by the check. At about minute 45 of our stay, the waitress said that she was very sorry, but the management wanted us to leave, since "a stay this long on a weekend was not part of the owner's business model." We were shocked that we couldn't spend a full hour at a restaurant at which we'd made a reservation - I've spent longer than that at a fast food joint! Unless you want to eat and run, I don't recommend this place.
