"In one word everything was so perfect!! I arranged a small surprise bridal shower party for my sister and we were all together 15 people and the restaurant and 2 owners did a very good job from helping decorating, serving food to every little details they were aware of. The floral background decoration was already there we just setup the table. Everything was perfectly perfect. Best wishes for the new restaurants and the food was Also convenient lication, available parking nearest blocks. Please go and check it out."

"Five stars for the owner's hospitality because he was very kind and quick on conflict resolution. The place is beautifully decorated if you are looking for instagram worthy shots. Food needs a little bit more flavor but that's for the chef to improve. I would go back again "

"I was introduced to Bakhtar by some friends who order out from there regularly. The food, the owners and the location are are wonderful. Fairly priced and expertly prepared Afghani food. I look forward to returning for another kulfi ice cream flavor and to try their lamb chops."

"Beautiful restaurant with delicious food, very reasonable prices,, the waiters are so nice they even asked me if I wanted different spices level for my kids!,,, which they did,,, it was such a relief for me thinking about me & my wife eating while kids are crying on spices. usually Indian restaurant makes the same food for everyone but here @ sukriya they have the options for your kids,, The tanduri chicken and lamb kebab was so gud they literally melted on my tongue. one more great thing to mention their food was 100% fresh made including the curries!!! As you know most of the Indian restaurant's curries are not fresh made! But here it was made while I was waiting for the food,,, Highly recommended for everyone,,,,"

"Got the lamb shank over rice, wasn't expecting gravy but it was delicious. Not Afghan style, but it was a desi style gravy which also worked. Food took some time to come but overall great for the portion and price. 9/10 "
