This is from the Afghan Bistro people, except turned into a normal restaurant with nice d\u00e9cor, rather than a mom and pop. And yet the prices are still reasonable. Most of all, get the complex stews and the vegetable dishes. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kadu_bouranee\">kadu<\/a> is from butternut squash, and is the best in the area. The eggplant and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aushak\">aushak<\/a> are also first-rate, this place is a winner all-around. Reservations typically are required, even for off-hours, as the place does fill up.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/afghan-bistro\/\" title=\"Afghan Bistro\">Afghan Bistro<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/rumis-bistro\/\" title=\"Rumi&#8217;s Bistro\">Rumi&#8217;s Bistro<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/curry-leaf\/\" title=\"Curry Leaf\">Curry Leaf<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/lines-are-overrated-and-totally-empty-restaurants-are-underrated\/\" title=\"Lines are overrated, and totally empty restaurants are underrated\">Lines are overrated, and totally empty restaurants are underrated<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/chez-manelle\/\" title=\"Chez Manelle\">Chez Manelle<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bistro Aracosia, web site, 5100 MacArthur Blvd. NW, Washington, DC, 202-363-0400 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [WaPo | Washingtonian | TripAdvisor | Ylp] One of the best ethnic restaurants in DC, and indeed one of the best &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/bistro-aracosia\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,198,7,1734,12,199],"tags":[1347,1578,710,1735,228,1579,1736],"class_list":["post-3980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afghan","category-currentfavorites","category-dc","category-palisades-foxhall","category-the-best","category-top5","tag-afghan","tag-afghan-bistro","tag-aushak","tag-bistro-aracosia","tag-eggplant","tag-kadu","tag-palisades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3980"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3983,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3980\/revisions\/3983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
