7/10Food 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.

10/10Went 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! 😋

10/10a 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 !

10/10I 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! :)

10/10Sarban is a fantastic restaurant teeming with sumptuous Afghan cuisines served in a cozy ambience. The staff is cordial and warm while catering to the needs of their customers. With the option of "Introduction to Afghan Dishes", the restaurant has plenty to offer for those that are yet to experience the delight and magic of Afghan cooking. In addition to that, the staff is always available to give further details about the dishes served at the restaurant. And they do so with a affectionate smile on their face. We had dinner at Sarban last night and we felt as if we were having a family dinner at home. The whole place was buzzing with bumbling warmth, a key recipe for making any dining experience great. We would love to go back there for another amazing dinner outing!
