I just moved here from Seattle (great restaurant scene) and had been very disappointed with Falls Church's restaurants until Bamiyan! The food was excellent. I haven't had Afgan food before, but it was delicious. I'm also not normally a fan of lamb, but the lamb kebobs were great! more

Excellent Afghan food! The meat filled dumplings for an appetizer are great to share, and the lamb chops are cooked perfectly. The pumpkin side dish (I know, I thought it sounded weird too) was delicious--spicy and sweet. more

We were not very hungry, but we went to splurge. So it was wine and appetizers. The St. Francis Merlot was the most expensive wine on the menu (at $39). Not a bad wine, at all.

I have eaten here for lunch and dinner at least 4 times and plan to return. The quality of the food is excellent.

The vegetarian dishes are superb more

Six of us ate at Bamian in Falls Church a few nights ago and were delighted by the food, service, and ambience. We started out with several appetizers, with the definite favorite being the aushak, Afghan ravioli stuffed with chopped scallions. Three folks had the vegetarian platter which included pumpkin, eggplant, and spinach. All agreed the vegetables were perfectly prepared.... more

I've eaten here 3-4 times on trips through Washington, and always had a unique and tasty meal here. Service is perfect. Everything is fresh and wholesome. Prices are very fair. more
