Our Legacy
A 70-Year Journey of
Authentic Afghan Flavors
Our story began over seven decades ago in the vibrant heart of Kabul, where the Timorian family first shared the art of handcrafted Sheeryakh—traditional Afghan ice cream. Today, that same passion for authenticity and excellence has crossed borders to bring the true soul of Afghan cuisine to Alexandria, Virginia.
At Temoryan Restaurant, we don't just serve food; we share our heritage. From our signature Kabuli Pulao to our flame-grilled kebabs, every dish is prepared fresh daily using time-honored recipes passed down through generations. Join us for a dining experience that honors our past while celebrating the rich, diverse flavors of Afghanistan.
