Went there yesterday. The food was really nice especially the bolani in the appetizers :) The prices were very reasonable as well. Nice ambience and a good location. I would rate it 3.5/5 The only difficulty we had was to get there. As per the location shown here on the map the restaurant was closer to the metro station Ostbahnhof. However, it was NO WHERE close to that place. It took us a good hour on foot in the snow to get to the desired location and that too very near to the place where we were living! Anyways, the correct directions to the place are as follows: Take a sub and go to Rosenheimer platz. Take an exit toward "Holiday Inn city center". Go out in the street and it is right around the corner on the left side. The address is 6, Rosenheimer and the approximate coordinates are 48.1315*, 11.5892*.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with sufficient seating area and located very close to Holiday Inn on Hochstrasse. The food was nothing to write home about but I have had better Afghani food. It was freshly prepared and eatable. Would I go there again? YES. As for hala, I simply asked the manager if it was halal and his reply was "this is afghani restaurant and we are muslims" so I ate there without any further questioning. He could have been a bit courteous as a simple "yes" is sufficient for me. By the way halal sign is not on display anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu. Thankfully he was not serving as there was another waitress. For slow service I would not blame the waitress but all I can say is things were slow. I ordered chicken & lamb botis - chicken was ok but lamb was not properly cooked.
