" After hearing so many great things, I decided to visit Jamila's and it did not disappoint! The grilled lamb had a depth of flavor and the qabuli rice was just perfect. The owner makes that extra effort to ensure you enjoy your meal. My only complaint is that I wish I could take everything on the menu home with me! I'll certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Jamila's and was really looking forward to trying Afghan cuisine. Unfortunately, the chickpea curry was quite bland and didn't have the robust flavor I was anticipating. The service was friendly when I picked it up, and the ambience of the restaurant looked promising. I'll give it another shot and try different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)
