Ati Afghans Restaurant — Restaurant in Ostend

We were welcome individual little bowls of olives and crakers which felt like such an extra touch! The Aushak were absolutely delicious - and although it seemed like a small portion at the beginning - they were super satisfying! The man serving was sooo friendly! We...
