although I havent' been to Afghan House, I went to Afghan Cuisine/Golestan quite a few times and I remember the old Magnolia.
Aushak is quite good. Sambosas are good. I like the soups. The quail I had was marvelous.
What would have interested me, given the circumstances of your visit and the ability to speak not only with the Iranian waitress but with the Dari speaking owner (I'm guessing) would have been to have asked what they had that was very different from Persian food, something they thought would have been unusual for you. Even if off the menu...
I like Persian food as well, I enjoy Shahrzad flame because of the fresh bread right out of the open oven. I liked a place that closed a while back, Cozy Dizi restaurant that had the dish of a lamb soup with garbanzos served with a small mallet for grinding in the serving vessal. I'd like to find another place that serves that (is it ab-e goosht? or Dizi? I don't really know).
