About Kabul Restaurant
Kabul Restaurant is an Afghan restaurant in Manchester, at 170-172 Cheetham Hill Rd, and it opens daily. The menu centres on Afghan cuisine, with kebabs and rice dishes at its core. Kabuli Pulao is the rice dish on the list, and Chopan kebab sits among the kebabs.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the Afghan dishes, with the Kabuli Pulao singled out for authentic Kabuli flavour, alongside the Karahi and a chopan kebab one regular calls incredible. Sheeryakh, the Afghan ice cream, is named more than once as the dessert to get. Close behind are generous portions, fresh food, and staff described as friendly and welcoming, with one first-time Afghan diner noting helpful recommendations. The kebabs and aromatic rice dishes also draw mention. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer who drove from Chester found the dining room noisy, with shouting and what sounded like staff calling out mixed-up orders in the open kitchen, and received no greeting at the desk and no farewell after a bill of over one hundred pounds was paid. Another reports clogged sinks in the washroom and flat soft drinks, and a third was told grilled chicken comes without raita or sauce, so mixed salad had to be added separately. Several diners nonetheless describe a clean room and quick service, and one says the family returns regularly.
