    We went there for the Valentine’s day. Ordered a la carte rather than the price fixe menu. The dumpling sampler was excellent. So was the lamb dish. The vegetarian dish was ok. The service was good. But the place is small and very cramped.

    The food is always delicious at Afghania! We love the bread and accompanying sauces, the dumplings, and main courses, too.
