Afghan restaurant
Zamarod is a beautifully designed Afghan restaurant located in Great Falls, Virginia. Founded by Dor Niaz, a former interpreter for the U.S. government, the restaurant was created to share the richness of Afghan cuisine and culture with the local community. The name “Zamarod,” meaning “emerald,” reflects both the elegance of the space and the depth of the culinary experience offered. With cozy indoor seating and a charming outdoor patio, it provides a welcoming environment for intimate dinners or relaxed family gatherings.
The menu is a modern celebration of Afghan cuisine, featuring a wide range of flavorful dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients. Charbroiled kabobs made with chicken, lamb, salmon, and sirloin are standout options, served alongside signature dishes like Quabili Palow, lamb shank, aushak dumplings, and vegetarian plates such as spinach rice and Sabsi Chalow. Each dish is thoughtfully presented and balanced with traditional Afghan spices, creating meals that are both comforting and elegant.
Guests frequently praise the hospitality and personal attention they receive, often noting that the owner personally greets diners and ensures a memorable visit. Whether enjoying a glass of tea or sampling a rich dessert after dinner, the experience at Zamarod feels more like being welcomed into someone’s home than simply dining out. With its blend of authentic flavors, artistic presentation, and warm service, Zamarod stands out as a true gem in the Northern Virginia dining scene.
