    I'd have given a five-star review if not for the service. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she lacked warmth and attentiveness. We were there for my sister's birthday lunch on Feb 27th, and while the food was great as it was on my first visit (the lamp chop had a strong gamey smell, but the taste was still good), the service was disappointing. When we left, she must have seen us because she was at the counter, she didn't acknowledge us at all--- not even a simple goodbye. Service can make or break an experience, and I hope the restaurant works on improving it. I'd still recommend this place for the food, but better service would make it much more enjoyable.

    A small restaurant maybe 10-12 tables, excellent service and authentic Afghan food. Great for a date.

    Went for a date night with my wife and we had a wonderful time. The service was excellent and the food was truly amazing. One of the best hidden gems in Springfield and I highly recommend eating here. We will be back soon!

    We really enjoyed our Valentine's Day dinner at Afghan Bistro. It was my husband's first time there and he really liked the food. Both of our entrees were delicious; lots of flavor and food arrived hot at our table. The service was perfect, the servers working together smoothly. Looking forward to my leftovers today! 😋

    The service was incredible! Though there was one server for the restaurant and it was full, he was attentive, charismatic, and calm. There were sweet touches to the menus with quotes and everything was handled with care.
