The food is very basic. The most luxurious item is kebab. Shorwa (kind of Hazaragi soup) and plain rice are other items in menu.
Mostly Hazaras have to pass from Pashtun areas which are dangerous and filled with Taliban. When people come in these restaurants, they exchange their experiences and observation from the security situation. The passengers who are supposed to cross the dangerous areas, take decisions. Sometimes they wait for several days for security situation to improve. Or some times they exchange about the road condition. If roads are blocked due to flood or heavy snowfall, they still have to wait there. NO EXTRA CHARGES AT ALL.
