Our Legacy
The Best Afghan Food in
Alexandria, Virginia
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 Timorian Restaurant, we don't just serve food; we share our heritage. From our signature Qabili Palow to our flame-grilled halal kebabs, every dish is prepared fresh daily using 100% halal ingredients and time-honored recipes passed down through generations. Join us for the most authentic Afghan dining experience in the DMV area and Northern Virginia.
