Best afghani food I have ever had, hands down. I don't know what I'll do if I ever move out of NJ but that's a future problem. One thing that makes Hills of Herat standout is the staff. You can tell that the owners put their heart and soul into the food and establishment. The quality is truly unmatched along with the flavors. I've gone for almost every occasion and also no occasion. The restaurant has a very classy, elegant ambiance that makes you feel at home. Onto the food if you eat meat, the filet mignon is truly the best item on the menu (in my not so humble opinion). I mean, everything else is incredible too but bear with me LOL. Favorite appetizers include: hummus (they have truly rui...
The service here is impeccable. As soon as you sit down, you’re greeted with a warm bowl of soup, followed by a well-seasoned shepherd's salad—both are perfect starters to your meal. I've visited twice in the past couple of months, which speaks volumes about how much I enjoy their food.
The Chicken Kofta is simply divine, and the Chicken Kabob? Oh my goodness! I'm amazed at how they can make such tender meat taste so incredible. The Salmon Kabob is not only visually appealing but also delicious. The lamb chops are tender and perfectly seasoned, while the Kadayif resembles a little bird's nest, slightly sweet with a delightful crunch and softness.

I always have a wonderful experience dining at this restaurant. The staff is friendly and hospitable, and the ambiance is fantastic. It’s also very neat and clean. To start, we were served individual salads, lentil soup, and naan bread, which alone are worth the visit. We ordered the mantu, and it was perfect. The Herat combo with kabuli rice was exceptional, and the chicken kofte with naringe was tender and delicately flavored. The chicken kebab with zamrud was delicious as well. Don’t miss the green tea; it’s both digestible and fragrant. I packed up every grain of leftover to enjoy tomorrow. We've dined here at least 20 times now!
This is a restaurant that leaves you feeling fulfilled. You can pick any rice+meat combination and it’s guaranteed to be delicious. There are also great vegetarian options. It’s a great place to go with a large group so that you can try many things and share food . The service is quick and the servers are very welcoming. The inside of the restaurant is so cozy and there are twinkling lights that add to the charm. I recommend the chai. Service: Dine in

I highly recommend the Chicken Kabob, Lamb Shank, Kabul Combo, Chapli Kabob, Herat Combo, and the Filet Mignon Kabob.
Nemat was an exceptional server—truly the best you could ask for. The food was outstanding, definitely a 10/10. The fresh bread was incredible; I highly recommend it to everyone. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all deserve a perfect score of 5.
Great food! Amazing rices! Loved the mint iced tea. Cons: loud maybe due to tin ceiling, but we were unfortunate to be surrounded on both sides with screaming running around kids.
