    Beautiful dining experience. Made us feel incredibly welcomed. Flavor was out of this world. Our favorite dish was the assorted dumplings and chicken lawaan. It was a great debate at our table as to which dumpling was the best! And don’t skimp on dessert, the cardamom cake was the perfect end to our meal. If we were DC locals, we would be regulars!

    Afghania is very like its Palisade neighborhood affiliate Bistro Aracosia, where I've eaten often: excellent food (sophisticated and nuanced, well beyond the simpler Afghan kabob-centered restaurants typical elsewhere); good and friendly service; and VERY generous entree portions (so think twice before ordering an appetizer, esp. since in any event you'll get complimentary bread with four different tasty dips as a starter.) By the way, the restaurant is a paradise for vegans, with many nice vegan selections (but plenty of choice for us meat-eaters, too). I can't predict the noise level, since I had dinner early before any crowds arrived. The floor plan is long and narrow, so the noise level will depend on the wall/ceiling materials and acoustics. In sum, Afghania is an excellent choice, esp. if you like well seasoned food. It also is reasonable in price as Georgetown restaurants go.

    Food was absolutely delicious. You sit somewhat close to other people but it somehow still feels very private. Only improvement is the ice cream dessert was freezer- burned but otherwise perfect food, will definitely be back.
