Formal and slightly awkward; most restaurant staff will understand from context if you just point to a table for two. Restaurants in cities are used to foreigners.
Literally "bring the menu".
Lamb and chicken dominate. Beef is also common. Goat meat is eaten in traditional settings. Halal is the norm.
Literally "it is tasty".
Literally "your health!". Toasts are rare, since most Pashto speakers do not drink.
