I was amazed when I saw a TGI Fridays in Afghanistan. This is not the place for such a restaurant, and as for people salsa dancing, don't get me started on that

Eaten there a few times when based at KAF, and was generally the 'go to' place to eat if the DFAC was particularly poor that day. Service is pretty good considering where you are and the food was standard fare for TGI's but again, maybe because of where you are it's not the best but the burgers are pretty good... More

nothing much to say,the restaurant is located inside Kandahar US Airbase,so not too many choices,but at least you can eat other than curry at all meals.

Who can complain about a TGIF in Afghanistan? But when MREs are you only choice... this place rocks!!!! Best thing going is the Chicken and Shrimp Cajun Pasta, with a Blue hawaiian slushi drink! The wings are dry, but ask fro the "wet" an s saucy. The place can hold just about 100, so feel free. to partake without the... More

I definitely give the owners an "E" for effort, but it's definitely not the same as at home. Nothing tasted even remotely the same (as it's nearly impossible to get the same quality-ish food there) as it is at a TGIF in the States. Great idea but not very practical, and it's expensive.
