This place is a delight for the eyes as well as the palate. Warm colors wash the walls, as waiters push platters of naan into a wall oven in the dining room. And the Afghani food is very appealing: skewers of lamb and chicken, pumpkin topped with a meat sauce and yogurt, and stews of meat and lentils.
