About

Sarban serves Afghan dishes in a warm, dimly lit basement dining room, with a chef’s surprise menu available in vegan, vegetarian, and meat versions. Expect a three-course dinner; a 2022 review cited a €35 price, and recent reviews praise the generous portions while noting that the room can get loud and busy.
