“This was my first time trying an Afghan restaurant, and I absolutely loved it! Don’t hesitate, go and give it a try. The Afghan Tikka was my favourite so delicious, tender, and incredibly soft. It’s served with delicious naan, which makes it even better. Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful place. It has dishes from different branches of afghan cuisine. The Lamb Shinwari Karahi is rich and hearty. The Mantou were amazing. Can't wait to be back to try more of their menu”

“Hilariously we were heading to another restaurant but it was not open so instead we went to here. Let me start by saying, that is the best chicken I have ever had. I love chicken and will have it almost always but this right here tops it without question. My family and I had the platter for 4/5 and it could easily feed another 4/5 at a very affordable price. Staff are great and friendly. I'm glad we came here as I have been wanting to try this place and will definitely be back again.”

“Amazing Afghan lamb! Tender and so flavoursome! I came and ask for typical Afghan dish, couldn’t get better one. Wahib (apologies if I spelled it wrong) recommended it and i will be back ❤️”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the Afghan lamb and kebabs, with the Afghan Tikka described as tender, incredibly soft and served with naan. Close behind are the chicken koobideh, lamb koobideh and mixed grill, plus a Lamb Shinwari Karahi called rich and hearty. The palaw and liver kebabs also get praise, and the mantou, salad, aryan, mango lassi and afghan green tea come up as extras. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and several describe the prices as cheap or reasonable, with one family saying their platter could have fed another four or five people. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and a few mention a calm, peaceful atmosphere, with seating on the floor limited to two small groups but plenty of chairs and tables. One reviewer who loved a first visit returned and found a waitress completely clueless, the only complaint raised. Several first-time Afghan diners say they plan to return, and complimentary tea at the end of the meal is mentioned.
