“ HELP SAVE THIS RESTAURANT!! This restaurant deserves 5.0 stars and a Michelin star. The waitress told us about her boyfriend and the cook, who opened this restaurant to bring authentic food to CDA, hoping to immerse the locals and tourists in an atmosphere of amazing teas, hearty hot food and delicious kebabs. Everything we ordered was a 100/10. I had a kebab duo(recommend the Lamb), my boyfriend and I had naan bread with a delicious lentil and beef stew dip, and he had the equivalent of an Afghan pasta stuffed with delicious beef, tomato, and herbs you can’t get anywhere but Emran. Please come experience their conversation-pit booths. It’s closer to upscale than their sign indicates. Did I mention it’s with walking distance to ALL the bars??? PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EXPERIENCE EMRAN!!! ”
“ We stopped in on a whim and almost did not stay after looking at the menu and having no idea what to order as nothing was familiar. We decided to stay and give it one chance. We were astonished to decide after eating that our meals were probably the best we could have hoped to find in the entire city. Real food. Clean tasting and feeling food. Delicious flavors. 100% best food in CDA. WOW!!!!!! ”

“ The food is 100 percent authentic and delicious. The balance of spices is just right to enhance the flavor of the dish but definitely not overpowering. The staff were polite and very patient. We will add this place to our repertoire whenever we’re in town. ”

“ This place is amazing! My husband and I were in town from Atlanta and found it accidentally, and the food was beyond delicious. The flavors are flavors you may have never experienced but will be so glad you did! And the portions are huge. Plus the service was fantastic. We wish we had a place like this close to us! We can’t recommend it enough. ”
“ Wow, what a great place. Came here looking for some great food and was not disappointed. The Manto and Uzbeki Pulau were the perfect 2 meals for us to split. One of the best dinners we have had out in quite some time. Highly recommend!! ”
“ Having eaten at both this location and the Spokane location, I can confidently say this is some of the best food around. The food is pure and authentic from start to finish. The cultural indulgence is also very prominent, with authentic dining experiences to the food preparation. Do you see a picture of the food? It's going to be served picture perfect every time! The hard work and dedication shows in every flavourful bite! Prices felt expensive till my first mouthful. They aren't charging enough! The togo food doesn't lack from the quality nor quantity found when dining in! I'm seriously impressed with the service across the board! From dining by myself to a party of 10, the food is prompt and very fresh! 100/10 recommended to anyone! I'll add more photos of all my food from Emran! The attention to detail on my takeout doesn't falter at all! Karayi Chicken with a full serving of Afgani Rice and a Naan Bread !! Outta this world!! Had some homemade cake! Super delicious moist! So many more wonderful treats to try! ”
