About Afghan Cuisine'n'Grill
On Derby St in Bolton, Afghan Cuisine'n'Grill serves Afghan dishes with the Kabuli Pulao offered as a recurring plate, served with tender lamb pieces. The menu also includes the Peshawari chapli kebab, and family platters are available in sizes suited to large groups, with one order noted at twelve portions. Diners are seated and attended to by a waiter rather than ordering purely at a counter, though the restaurant runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. The dining room is kept strongly air conditioned, and during busier periods, staff at the counter provide updates on order status while customers wait. Rear street parking is available for those arriving by car.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the food quality itself as the draw, with the Kabuli Pulao praised for its seasoned rice and tender lamb, and other reviewers separately naming the peswaheri chapli kebab and the kobeda and curry as standouts, calling the kebab fresh and good value despite a wait of over twenty minutes. Close behind, several reviews single out one particular front of house server, praised repeatedly across visits as polite, attentive, and welcoming. A few also mention the strong air conditioning and rear street parking. The one real caveat comes from a family who ordered a £180 platter for twelve guests and left hungry, saying management's response, that they should have ordered more food, felt unacceptable given the price already paid. Otherwise the recurring notes are of a calm, welcoming atmosphere and a long-standing family customer who calls it a regular, years-long go-to spot.

“Honestly speaking, while the food was tasty. My family and I had an issue with the service/management. We ordered a family platter for 12 people. It cost £180, which is not cheap. We ordered for guests coming from out of the country. And not enough portions were given for the people that came. We had 12 people and everyone left hungry. We spoke to management about the portions for how many people came. And the response was. You should’ve ordered more food. Which I felt was an unacceptable response. To underfeed your customers and tell them they should’ve put more money in your pockets is unacceptable. The food was good but unfortunately the management was far below par. I wouldn’t come back here again.”

“Had dinner at Afghan Cuisine N Grill and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Special thanks to staff Khan for his excellent service — very friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. He made sure we were comfortable and looked after us really well. Highly recommend this place if you want authentic Afghan food and great hospitality. Will definitely come back again!”
