Spring Cafe "A Taste of Authentic Afghan Cuisine"

The food here was so good! I lived in the Baltimore area for a while and have wanted to try this place for years. I am so sad that I didn’t try it until after I moved away! My friend and I went here for a late lunch. I have had Afghan food before and my friend had not. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We thought the portions were very good for lunch.

First time trying this cuisine, and the owner was very gracious and answered our questions and helped us in ordering. I felt very welcomed and at home, like I came over to my uncles home for a meal. The slightly low ceiling and the plants that helped the place have a certain glow in lighting, made for a very intimate environment. Very warm and cozy all around. We had the Kabul Tohkum Karaai, Kabul Special Dou Piaza, Mantoo, kabul eggplant, and Kabul cream roll for dessert. The Kabul Special dou piaza was the meat dish, along with warm vegetables that brought some acidity and also a slight sourness at the end. It really makes for an addicting flavor that synergises well with bread or rice for it to soak up its juices. What caught me off guard was the eggplant. I had a totally different image of eggplant flavor and was unaware that it could be cooked to taste so savory and creamy. I highly recommend this spot. These are the types of restaurants that foster a warm sense of belonging. And I think that's equally as important for a restaurant, not just its taste.

Had the most delicious meal here! Came from out of town for the weekend and was looking for small, mom and pop authentic restaurants and we hit the jackpot with this one. Everything we tried was amazing. The cauliflower was perfect, the lamb was well briased, juicy and succulent, and the mantoo was outstanding! Will definitely be stopping by again next time I'm in town!!
