7/10

Food could have been much better for the price paid. The restaurant is overestimated in my opinion when I compare with other restaurants and prices all over the world as a frequent traveler for business. Food was lukewarm to my surprise. Flavors were not that pronounced in the “kennismakings assortiment” with different small dishes to be tasted as presented by the chef. À là carte with very strong limitations, e.g customer could only have a three-course menu starter main dessert. We do not like to take dessert for example and sometimes some of us want to skip starters and prefer dessert if still hungry. That is not possible in this restaurant. Vegetarian can have alternatives but in the discover menu sometimes the vegetarian got one item less as dessert for example but the price was the same 39,50 euro. Dessert in discovery menu included ice cream with different flavor but ice quality was not that great/tasty for the price paid. Price high but don’t expect too much. Not worth a 4,8/5.

Went to Sarban in Tilburg, got the tasting menu, and basically let them take the wheel. Best decision as every dish was a warm hug. Flavors? On point. Portions? Generous. Regrets? None. Afghan food doesn’t whisper flavor, it kicks down the door, spices in hand, and demands your full attention. Fragrant rice, tender meats, rich sauces that feel like they’ve been simmering since the Silk Road days. And it just keeps coming. Bonus points: they actually get gluten-free. Not the “here’s a sad lettuce leaf” nonsense - actual adaptations, full plates, no compromise. Service? Warm and low-key. Ambiance? Chill but charming. Tasting menu = 10/10 would do again. Bring friends, partner and your appetite. You will leave full. We will be back! 😋

a wonderful experience with a good exposition. It changed my view on afghanistan cuisine, which has been developed out of very limited experiences - like quick takeaway places. Thanks !

I have already been at Sarban three times before yesterday, and is always as good as the first time. From the food to the people working there, you really feel like home! I definitely suggest to go and try the "surprise menu", if its the first time you go. Let them guide you through the experience, and feel as if you were a guest in their house! :)
