A S: The vegetable leek and the chicken dumplings were some of the best I've had in the Boston area! Skip the ginger scallion lo-mein unless you're looking for only these three ingredients in the dish.
Becky: the handmade, steamed pork and leek dumplings here are the absolute best.
Chefs Feed: "These are perfectly little, hand-rolled dumplings. They are such a great snack. The dumpling dough is really delicate, and it has the right amount of dough-to-filling ratio." - Chef Barry Maiden Read more.

Jessica Fjeld: Love the lamb kebabs and the mantwo (dumplings) at this Cambridge institution
Ben Bearnot: So far everything we tried was amazing, esp the spicy meatballs and lamb dumpling. Can't wait to go back and order something totally different. Great place for groups of friends.
Connie Lu: My favorite place for Afghan fare: get the Aushak, if you love pumpkin as much as I do, get the Kaddo; and you can't go wrong with the Kourma Challow.
