Our Legacy

The Best Afghan Food in Alexandria, Virginia

Our story began over seven decades ago in the bustling heart of Kabul, where the Barg family first perfected the art of handcrafted Sheeryakh — Afghanistan's beloved rose-water ice cream. Today, that same dedication to authenticity and craft has crossed borders to bring the true soul of Afghan cuisine to Alexandria, Virginia.

At Barg, we don't just serve food — we share a living heritage. From our fragrant Qabili Palow layered with caramelized carrots and raisins, to our juicy halal kebabs charred over open flame, every dish is prepared fresh daily using 100% halal ingredients and recipes passed down through three generations. Experience the most authentic Afghan dining in the DMV area and Northern Virginia.
