" The kebabs at El Afgano are the best I’ve ever had! They’re cooked to perfection and well-seasoned. Not only that, but the atmosphere was delightful, conducive for families or a casual dining experience. I’m definitely coming back to dig into more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by El Afgano after hearing so much buzz and it did not live up to my expectations. The kabob I had was bland and the rice was not basmati as I had hoped. I was disappointed, especially given the cost. The service was decent but nothing exceptional. I might give it another chance, but I really hope they step up their food game next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great hidden spot! Tried the chicken plates and loved the fresh spices used in each dish. The service was friendly though a bit scattered at times. The only downside was the street parking situation, which was challenging, but it was worth it for the food. I’ll certainly return for more! " (*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*)
