" I really enjoyed my meal here! The samosas were outstanding, and the lamb was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. Very casual ambiance, which is perfect for a family evening out. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit long for our food, but it was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the food at Kandahar! The breads were so soft and warm, and paired perfectly with the rich sauces. The ambiance is lovely for family gatherings or casual meals. However, a slight downside was that they charge for water, which feels odd. Still worth it for the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Kandahar today. The food was fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the potato bolani, which tasted authentic and homemade. The service was prompt, though the establishment was quite busy. I look forward to coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kandahar is a charming little eatery with authentic flavors. The lamb chops were an absolute highlight of my meal. I loved how attentive the staff were - they truly made sure everything was satisfactory. I hope my next experience is just as enjoyable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fabulous food and service, can't sing praises high enough! I had the lamb shank and it was as good as any I've ever had. Portion sizes were large enough to share, though I didn't want to! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it great for date nights or family dinners. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for authentic Afghan food! I tried the lamb shank, and it was absolutely delicious—falling off the bone and full of flavor. The service staff were attentive and made sure our drinks were filled. I will definitely make this a regular spot in my dining rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was surprisingly flavorful! I got the lamb kabuli pulao and it was wonderfully spiced. The service here is quick and friendly, making the whole dining experience enjoyable. The only downside was that the place was really packed, but that just shows how popular they are! I can't wait to visit again. " (*Curated Review*)
