  “We came from London to Manchester and had a great experience at Kabul Karahi & Grill! The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Behan Sabah was serving us and she was so kind, friendly and welcoming. She made sure everything was okay and that we had everything we needed. Her lovely service made our visit even better. Would definitely come again!”

  “It’s a small place and they were extremely busy, they made it their top priority to serve people as quick as possible which was great. The food was very good and the portions fantastic. Would recommend people to try the place out. Only slight criticism would be because the place is so small - we left smelling like charcoal (I think their fan wasn’t working either) so it became so hot and our clothes just had such a strong grill/ charcoal smell which isn’t pleasant to walk around.”

  “We had a fantastic experience and the food was absolutely delicious. The chef is incredibly talented and the entire team was warm, welcoming, and attentive. A special mention to Saba, exceptionally kind, professional, attentive, energetic, and provided outstanding service throughout our visits. ⭐️ A must-visit restaurant in Manchester! - Charsi Karahi – 10/10 - Kabli Pulao – 10/10 - Chapli Kebab – 10/10 - Chicken Seekh Kebab – 10/10 - Chicken Tikka – 10/10 - Lamb Seekh Kebab – 9/10 We stayed in Manchester for seven nights and ended up dining at Kabul on three of those nights that says it all! Every dish was packed with authentic flavour and cooked to perfection. This is easily one of the best places for Pakistani cuisine in Manchester. Highly, highly recommended, an absolute must-visit!”

  “UPDATE Upon our second visit, we found more than a few issues. Chicken Karahi was slightly stinky (no idea why, but seemed not fresh); however, they replaced the chicken karahi with the lamb one. Just outstanding!! The quality of the food, as well as the service, was spot on. The best Chapli kebab one could ever find in this area. And the lamb Karahi?? OMG, just great. I wouldn't be wrong naming them the legends of Afghani cuisine. The lady Salma assured the best of service. Will definitely revisit.”

  “We had the grill platter for 2, chapli kebab and lamb karahi. The platter was great especially the lamb chops, which were very tender. The kabuli pilao, that came with the platter, was very delicious and authentic. The chapli kebabs were average but tasty. The karahi tasted a bit sweet, probably due to the tomatoes. We requested spicy karahi but the chillis lacked spice level hence 4 stars for the food. The servuce was excellent, our waitress Saba was very attentive and helpful. Overall its 4.5/5 stars.”

  “As I was staying at a nearby Airbnb, I thought to get some Afghani food, and dear me, was I blown away!!! The first morsel of the lamb karahi transported me to the streets of Peshawar. The next day I came to takeaway their kabuli pulao as I was so impressed and I can say that it was an amazing taste.”

  “Went with some friends, and found this place to be pretty good. Menu was decent, we ordered the chapli kebab and the lamb karahi, both really nicely cooked and perfectly spiced. Premises clean, staff friendly, recommended and would go again.”

  “​"Don’t let the exterior fool you—Kabul Karahi and Grill is easily one of the best spots in Manchester. It’s a modest, no-frills place, but you come here for the food, not the decor. The Lamb Karahi and Charsi Afghan Tikka are absolute 10/10s—perfectly seasoned and incredibly fresh. Even the Kabuli Pulao and Chicken Karahi are top-tier. ​Beyond the food, Wahid and Zabi are some of the most welcoming, down-to-earth guys you’ll meet. But the real secret? Skip the green tea and order their regular 'Chae.' I’ve lived in the UK for 20 years and this is hands-down the finest tea I’ve ever had. One sip and you’ll see why. In sha’Allah, I’ll be back very soon." Thank you”

  “The food was lovely. Just a personal preference that I like more spices in my food. However, the food was clean and appreciated by everyone. The service was polite, friendly and really welcoming. Always smiling. It was an event with colleagues after work so the atmosphere was good for our chatty group. The chapli kebab was our star, crispy on the outside and lush on the inside.”

  “Kabul Karahi & Grill is a great place for authentic Afghan and Pakhtoon food. I visited last night with my family and really enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent, especially the lamb karahi, seekh boti, and Kabuli pulao. Everything was full of flavour and cooked really well. The service was good and the overall environment felt welcoming and lively. One thing to note is that it can get a bit smoky at times since the BBQ counter is close to the seating area. The space is also a little congested with limited seating, so you may need to wait during busy hours. Some dishes are slightly on the higher side price wise, but the quality makes it worth it. Overall, a very good experience and definitely a place to visit if you’re looking for real Afghan and Pakhtoon cuisine in Manchester.”
