Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant

First time here. Amazing experience. Obviously off hours so the quiet peaceful dining Ambience was a real treat. Excellent and amazing food. I had the Afghan meatballs with spectacular rice and potatoes. The pudding for dessert with pistachios on top was also truly excellent. This restaurant is very clean and carries a lot of class. Bathrooms were very nice. Convenient location in El Dorado Hills. Parking may be challenging during busy times. Definitely enjoyed the food and overall experience and we'll plan on visiting again one day. Highly recommended.

Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant is a wonderful family-owned establishment that truly delivers an exceptional dining experience. The manager, Mousa, is fantastic and goes above and beyond to ensure that all customers are satisfied with their meals.

I must say that this is the best Afghani restaurant I have ever visited in Sacramento. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared, with a wide variety of dishes that are sure to please any palate. And the desserts are simply amazing - be sure to save room for them!

One of the highlights of my visit was the belly dancing performance that they offer on certain nights - it was truly mesmerizing and added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant.

In addition to the fantastic food and entertainment, Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant also sells high-quality saffron that is just as amazing as the food. I highly recommend picking some up to take home!

All in all, I would highly recommend Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and a wonderful experience. Thanks again to Mousa and the rest of the staff for a truly memorable dining experience!

The food was delicious, well-portioned and we got it very quickly! I was worried when I read some of the reviews, but we decided to try it and I’m so glad we did! The pumpkin purée and little dumplings were definitely the highlight. So good together!

A friend and I wanted something different for lunch, so chose Bamiyan.
The server was pleasant and non-intrusive. He took our order and gave us space and time to enjoy our meal and visit.
I started with the chai tea, which was delicious. It was spicy and creamy, and the perfect temperature.
We enjoyed the hummus appetizer. The hummus itself had a great taste. I would have preferred toasted or grilled pita to accompany it, rather than the thin tortilla wedges. But the hummus was delicious.
We ordered their soup, which had a wonderful flavor.
My friend enjoyed grilled
Chicken kabobs, with saffron rice and eggplant. The chicken was juicy and had a good flavor. The saffron rice was delicious and the eggplant had an interesting and tasty blackened skin, which was a wonderful complement to the creamy texture of the eggplant.
I ordered a saffron rice dish with cinnamon carrots and raisins. It was quite good.
Overall, the atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was clean and the food was quite good. This is a great option for lunch or dinner.
