I have not been to the hotel but the Afghani Food here is awesome and with live Afghani Music playing at the same time makes it more of an Afghani Traditional Restaurant.
The staff members are friendly and is very crowded during the weekend nights. You can dine inside and outside in the front lawn.

If you manage to go to the security (it took me over 15 minutes) you enter in an totally new world.. Very beautyful Italian styled garden, the interior tastefully decorated and up to international standards. Island of happiness.
For food they serve mainly a buffet, really good and also up to 'world class'. Sushis in the Asian restaurant were very disappointing but remember: Afghanistan is a land locked country in civil war...
I did not manage to get a decent beer, only non-alcoholic drinks. What a pity. If you want to escape the 'tristesse' of Kabul: That's the place

Had it delivered to Eggers then took it back to my room. It was ok but a lot of vegetables and not enough meat. The nan bread was pretty small and the whole order was expensive.

This is good French-inspired food in the heart of Kabul. Food is consistently good and there are proper French pastries and baguettes for sale in the bakery. Only issue is that menu has not changed in years - some variety would be nice! Atmosphere is nice - pretty garden in summer and cozy interior with fireplace in winter.

Le jardin at Taimini, Kabul has a great ambiance with a beautiful garden with ethnic table and chairs and dim lights. It serves homemade pastas, steaks and the sweet chocolate cake among other delightful dishes. The restaurant also has a bakery on site . This place is frequented by expats on thursday and friday night.

We ordered several dishes from Namaste and everyone of them were excellent. If you visit Kabul, order food from here. For obvious reasons eating out in Kabul is not recommended. One of the best Indian dishes I have ever had. Highly recommended.
8. Caravan Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
Reviewed By Koya88 - Toronto, Canada
Caravan need not really print a menu, in my view: just ask for the "Special Dish," and for a little over $7, they'll give you approximately 76% of all dishes ever associated with Afghan cuisine, in adorably presented tiny portions, on one beautifully decorated plate. With presentation that memorable, flavor might come in second, but their rice, heavily accented with orange peel, almonds, and raisins, is among the best in the city.

I stayed in the hotel during first part of July then went to Varanasi. Sufi hotel is good to stay as the country (Afghanistan) has been facing law & order issue. Here one can feel secured as well as foods and rooms are cleaned. Good to stay while one is in Kabul. Both lodging and restaurants are available.

I've been here once and I ordered the strawberry shake which was absolutely refreshing and delicious! I will definitely go here again even though it's expensive compared to local prices but the quality of their juice is superb. The only downside is the uncomfortable seats, which are rather too hard on the bottom.
