" This little gem on the Drive is worth every visit! I stumbled upon it on my way to the train. The bolani was crispy and not too oily, and the lamb was perfectly marinated. I loved the atmosphere; it feels like family. The service is prompt, and you can tell they care about serving delicious food. I will definitely be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! The flavors in the dishes are out of this world. I recommend trying the vegetarian as well as lamb options. The portions were just right and the service was very accommodating. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a fantastic meal at Jamila's! I love ordering the vegetarian platter that includes the most delicious veggies and rice. The creativity in the dishes really shows. The owner is friendly and is always suggesting specials. It's a must-visit if you're nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to stop in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! I tried the vegetarian dumplings and the seasoning was spot on! The portions were decent and the atmosphere was cozy. Highly likely to return and try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my experience. The lamb kabob was dry and lacked flavor. I expected much more from the reviews I read! On a positive note, the restaurant was clean and the owner was friendly. But I probably won’t return for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the mantoo dumplings and they were fantastic! Perfectly cooked with a mix of savory flavors. I enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the owner while waiting. The atmosphere is friendly and clean. I can't wait to return and try something new! " (*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*)
