I had the slow roasted spicy halal lamb with seasoned rice, it was super tender and very flavorful. Perfect balance with the rice. We also had the dumpling assortment which was good. The items are on the pricier side but the portions were very generous. Service was excellent and the setting is very beautiful with tasteful art. Highly recommend if you like Afghan cuisine or have never tried it before!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Aracosia McLean. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The pumpkin dumplings were a standout—perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of sweetness and sour flavors. The beef and chicken kababs were incredibly flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was packed with rich spices. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt great. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner spot or a place to celebrate with friends and family, this is a fantastic choice. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu especially the desserts! Highly recommend!

I recently dined at Aracosia McLean and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is warm and elegant, perfect for both special occasions and a refined night out. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. Every dish was beautifully presented and rich with flavor — the lamb shank and mantu were particular standouts. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines such high-quality cuisine with genuinely gracious hospitality. I’ll absolutely be returning.
