😒 3/5 - As a big fan of Afghan food, I was extremely excited to

As a big fan of Afghan food, I was extremely excited to come and try Lapis.My friends and I stopped by around 5:45pm on a Saturday with an outdoor reservation. There was a huge chance of rain that day and they asked if we would like to be seated inside so I was very grateful we were able to snag an indoor table. We stared with drinks--my friend ordered the sheer chai and I ordered the rumi mocktail. The sheer chai was excellent--there was a strong flavor of cardamom which we all loved. The rumi was more of a savory drink--the ingredients looked like a recipe for tzaziki sauce and it's honestly what it tasted like. It was savory and yogurty, which was fine, but also a little too watery for my vibe.As for food, we ordered the aushak and mantoo shrimp dumplings, the qabuli palow, the buranee bademjan, and side of the lamb kabobs. Afghan dumplings are always by far what I look forward to most on a menu and the shrimp mantoo lived up. There was a rich and creamy turmeric sauce that paired perfectly with the shrimp. The aushak was also pretty good and is a really great option for people who have never had Afghan food before. Although, I enjoyed the aushak, I've had better once in the DC area. As for the other entree dishes, the qabuli palow was very good. Perfectly savory and perfectly sweet with tender bites of the lamb. The buranee bademjan was also excellent--this was more of a half sized entree, but this is one of my favorite afghan dishes to order when I'm not eating meat. Lastly, the lamb kabobs were pretty good--I particularly loved the spicy red sauce that they came with. I wish they were a little more tender and fatty, but overall, they weren't too gamey and were well seasoned.As for our service, this was very disappointing. Our server did not frequent our table for water refills. He also began walking away before we finished giving him our order--since he had assumed we were done ordering. Typically, I've had waiters at least confirm the order before walking away or at least asking if that's everything. The other thing that really bother me was that my friend ordered an Aperol Spritz, and before saying anything else, the waiter asked if that was on the menu. Since it was not on the menu, he immediately said that it could not be made--despite that we could see the aperol behind the bar.Overall, the food was not as mind-blowing as I've had at other Afghan restaurants in the area and the service was quite disappointing. I do appreciate that Lapis was actively helping refugees, but that isn't enough to entice me to come back.
