Bamiyan - Citrus Heights

Bamiyan Afghan Restaurant is very unique and one of its kind. It brings the wonderful and delicious taste of the 5000-year historical world flavor in today's lifestyle.
If you haven't been to Bamiyan you don't know what you are missing!


To the Health Conscious
Afghan cuisine at Bamiyan Restaurant is a collection of authentic traditional recipes, a blend of tastes, which are exotic. Afghanistan is a land-locked country, and cooks rely on meats,
freshwater fish, vegetables, dried peas, beans, fresh and dried fruits, yogurt, noodles, rice, and a distinctive palette of seasonings. Afghans do not use butter or heavy cream in their cooking. Vegetable oil, corn oil or olive oil are used for cooking.In almost all the recipes in Afghan cooking, a small amount of herbs, spices and seasonings are used to flavor the dish and add a sensational taste, not too overwhelming.

"Enjoyed dining at this casual Afgani restaurant. The service was very friendly and quite helpful reviewing an unfamiliar menu with us. Bamiyan has a nice variety of vegetarian main dishes. The food was tasty and well prepared."
