Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant 1121 White Rock Road, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762

"Really great food. I had the morg chalow which was sautéed chicken served with saffron rice and eggplant. It was excellent and really flavorful. The eggplant was tender and stood out as the best part of a very good plate. Seemed like most in our party of 7 were happy with what they ordered except for one who ordered Ashak which is the boiled dumplings. I think this was just personal preference and they seemed to enjoy the food that was shared with them from others plates. Ambiance was nice and I really enjoyed the music that they played. Service was friendly but a bit slow."

"First time here. Amazing experience. Obviously off hours so the quiet peaceful dining Ambience was a real treat. Excellent and amazing food. I had the Afghan meatballs with spectacular rice and potatoes. The pudding for dessert with pistachios on top was also truly excellent. This restaurant is very clean and carries a lot of class. Bathrooms were very nice. Convenient location in El Dorado Hills. Parking may be challenging during busy times. Definitely enjoyed the food and overall experience and we'll plan on visiting again one day. Highly recommended."

"The food was delicious, well-portioned and we got it very quickly! I was worried when I read some of the reviews, but we decided to try it and I’m so glad we did! The pumpkin purée and little dumplings were definitely the highlight. So good together!"

"A friend and I wanted something different for lunch, so chose Bamiyan. The server was pleasant and non-intrusive. He took our order and gave us space and time to enjoy our meal and visit. I started with the chai tea, which was delicious. It was spicy and creamy, and the perfect temperature. We enjoyed the hummus appetizer. The hummus itself had a great taste. I would have preferred toasted or grilled pita to accompany it, rather than the thin tortilla wedges. But the hummus was delicious. We ordered their soup, which had a wonderful flavor. My friend enjoyed grilled Chicken kabobs, with saffron rice and eggplant. The chicken was juicy and had a good flavor. The saffron rice was delicious and the eggplant had an interesting and tasty blackened skin, which was a wonderful complement to the creamy texture of the eggplant. I ordered a saffron rice dish with cinnamon carrots and raisins. It was quite good. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was clean and the food was quite good. This is a great option for lunch or dinner."
