In Short
Exotic music plays softly in the background. Each table is covered by a small Afghan rug. The menu has the highs and lows of an Afghan mountain range. For appetizers, there's boulanee and hummus . Besides lamb (curried, charbroiled chops, sauteed with tomato and onion, kebabs, shank and so on), the menu offers gyros, Afghan filet mignon, pasta shells and a vegetable platter. Da Afghan also serves nightly specials.

OK first, I do have to admit that it was difficult to find the place...but WOW... it is definitely worth it!! The owner of the restaurant greeted our party of 4 as we walked in; we knew right away that it was a small quality family restaurant with very proud owners. The service was exceptional; the server explained the specialty items, the popular dishes, and highly recommended the lamb chops, which he said come directly from Rogers Farm in Hutchinson! A friend in our party and I consider ourselves lamb experts and were tempted but not sure of the lamb chops. But we trusted the waiter, and I am so glad we did! That night, both of us had the moistest, tenderest, and perfectly seasoned lamb chops with fine basmati rice, tomato based korma sauce, and some fresh vegetables? Afghan cuisine definitely won me over, it was the perfect choice. Overall I highly recommend the Da Afghan, we had never heard of it, but I will definitely be going back!

The food is delicious, but the prices are way too high... $100 for 3 guys, I think is a total ripoff, we had a lamb karee, chicken karee and Egg plant curry with a bottle of wine ($20) , there are better restaurants than this one with more quality food and reasonable prices, The waiter added gratuity for 3 people, which is very unfair, I think there should be atleast 5 people on the table to add gratuity, but for 3 it just BS. I'd never recommend this restaurant .......

Perhaps I have eaten out too often in the past 25 years but tonight I said, this is a memorable meal. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin kabob, I had the kofta. I can't wait for the leftovers, even the rice was amazingly good with almonds and raisins. The wine list was simple but inexpensive. The service was personable and efficient. All Bloomington Knights of Columbus and spouses should try it (walking distance).
