10/10My wife and I really enjoyed this amazing restaurant. It was quite busy for dinner on a Wednesday so I would suggest making a reservation. Although we were staying in Amsterdam, we took an easy 26 minute train to Utrecht, a city worth visiting. Our service was excellent and the staff always explained the various foods that we received. We definitely recommend getting the "chef's surprise" 3 course menu. You will eat such a variety of delicious foods with this menu. Not to be missed. We shared a bottle of Rose wine from Portugal that we enjoyed. In addition to the inside dining room, there is also an option of dining outside along the canal. The price for the 3-course menu was reasonable especially considering the quality of the food and the amount of food that you receive. WE hightly recommend this restaurant.

8/10Food is very tasty and quite affordable, but unfortunately it is not possible to take leftoveres back home, which would be great to reduce food waste!

9/10The quality and freshness of the food in Sarban is consistent, even though the menu has been exactly the same for years, it is equally as good every time I visit. A real privilege to have in Utrecht, long may it last!

4.5/10Questionable high score on TripAdvisor. Table booked for a specific time. We were kept waiting over 10 minutes before being seated. The delay was not as a result of the previous diner taking their time but due to the slow response of the staff whom were just trying to cope with it all. We then had to wait a further 15 minutes before menus were eventually provided. In summary - tasty food but insufficient staff to deal with the high volume of customers (mid-week).

9/10It’s a nice place but would not recommend the vegetarian menu. It costs the same as the meat one and it’s just sides. The meat one was very good though!

10/10Bachelorette-party dinner in our favourite place! As always, we had great time and great food. Service was kind and attentive and at the end of our dinner one of the waiters came to us to offer to the bachelorette a shot of a (probably) typical drink for a “bride to be”. That was a nice and funny moment ???? thanks for having us for the seventh (?) time! ♥️

10/10My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here. We highly recommend the 3 course "surprise" menu consisting of many small portions of delicious Afghan food. Plenty of food to eat. Service was very good and the staff explained each dish that we received to eat. The restaurant was quite busy on a Wednesday night. I would advise making a reservation. We thought that it was a memorable dinner -- don't miss it.

10/10What a surprise this restaurant was! We had never eaten Afghan food before so we ordered the surprise menu which has smaller portions of the main dishes on the menu so you can try everything. It was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing as well, super friendly with explanations on what everything is. We will definitely be back!

9.5/10The food was unbelievably good as usual! Just hope the portions don't keep reducing in size, they were significantly smaller than last year when I had the opportunity of visiting the restaurant a few times.

9.5/10Great food! Very tasty and good quantity. Good value for money. The tasting menu is nice to try out almost everything on the menu. The service is great, very friendly. I gave 4 for the atmosphere because the place looks a bit old, but besides that very satisfied with everything. The tapestry and hanging lamps are nice and fitting decoration.

5.5/10The food was so spicy ! Actually, we had no option of sharing food with one another ! We had to order the whole starter plus main course plus dessert for each person which was so odd, plus, the staff were suggesting us to get a meal which is called surprising meal for each person which was not a good idea at all. At the end they also didn’t provide us with any dish to be able to take home our leftovers ! Which was so disappointing !

10/10Really good food, we went with the chef's menu which they adapt to your preferences (vegetarian/vegan) and allergies. Waiters are all really nice and explain all dishes.

10/10Amazing food, excellent service and a good price! Restaurants in this area of the city are usually aimed at tourists, and pay less attention to quality. Really not the case with Sarban!
