Delicious food, amazing wait staff and just overall fabulous hospitality. The dumplings were scrumptious, especially the pumpkin dumplings if you like something a bit sweet. I haven’t tasted meat as succulent as I did with the lamb and beef platter. Very attentive staff overall. As you can tell, I most definitely recommend a visit. I’ll certainly be going back!!

Don’t miss this place if you’re in DC. Food was mind blowing and the service was even better! They care about small small things. Noah’s service was amazing! We loved the veal shank + Mughalai sauce ?

My first Afghan food experience. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere, too!

We ate outside. Loved the Sabzi Lawaan and a variety of turnovers/dumplings. The ricotta/pistachio cake was fantastic.

Having a dinner with old friends who are moving so we wanted a leisurely meal... it was perfect! We weren't rushed or hurried.. so appreciative of the time we were given...and oh...the food was delicious!

The meal started with complementary bread and a few sauces, which was very good. I ordered a vegetarian egg plant dish and my boyfriend ordered lamb shank and rice. The portion sizes are large and both meals were really good. The server was not bad and the ambience was pleasant. I'd come back again and I would recommend this place to others.

Never disappoints! One of our favorite restaurants.

Wonderful, authentic, upscale Afghan food, exotic drinks, and a romantic ambiance—a hidden gem.

Bistro Aracosia is perfect for those of us who still aren't ready to eat indoors. The outdoor seating, which can be reserved, is well-covered so you could eat outside even in the rain. The menu offers ample choice, including many choices for vegetarians. The service was flawless, and we can't wait to go back. Don't miss the pumpkin dumplings! We'll be back soon.

Always so good. Great food, wonderful staff and a neighborhood gem.
