" I was excited to try El Afgano after hearing rave reviews. We ordered a variety of dishes: kebabs, hummus, and the eggplant dish. The flavors were good, but I felt the kebabs were a bit dry and the eggplant could have used more seasoning. Prices were reasonable, but I left feeling like the food didn’t fully live up to the hype. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance though and the staff was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Afgano was an incredible experience! The lamb kabob was marinated to perfection, bursting with flavor, and served alongside fragrant basmati rice. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. I also tried their famous hummus and it was utterly delightful. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a dinner with friends. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Afgano based on the reviews but left a bit underwhelmed. The food was just okay in terms of flavor, and I expected more authenticity. Service was average, so I don't think I'll rush back to this spot soon, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my visit to El Afgano! The restaurant was clean, and the decorations made it feel like a little slice of Afghanistan. I tried the lamb and cordero which was beautifully cooked and served with a side of fresh naan. My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. Great flavors and large portions. I’ll definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at El Afgano. The first time I visited, the food was fantastic, but during my second visit, the kabobs were quite dry, and the service was slow. The welcoming atmosphere is still a plus, and I hope they can improve on their consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Afgano has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! I absolutely loved the kebab platter that was served with yogurt sauce. Everything was meticulously prepared, and the flavors were rich. It was a great experience overall, although it did take some time for our food to arrive which was understandable due to the crowd. Definitely a repeat customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional experience at El Afgano! The food is rich with flavor, and the service was wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant dish and the rice; both were prepared excellently. The only minor issue I encountered was the parking, which was tricky, but the food was worth the hassle! " (*Curated Review*)
