Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the mixed grill, with reviewers calling the meats tender, juicy and full of flavour, and the fresh naan described as hot and pillowy. Close behind is the Kabuli palaw, where the lamb is said to slide off the bone and the meat is tender, with the raisin and carrot rice singled out. The Chapli Kebab is called tasty and good value for its portion, and one reviewer praises the Gajar Halwa for dessert. Others mention Shinwari lamb, Afghan green tea and massive portions. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and helpful, with one chef greeting customers and explaining the menu, and several call the restaurant very clean. One prayer room is also noted as convenient.

“Being newly opened local restaurant went with family last week. First impression after reading the menu seems owner have no idea at all about local competitor market or have no previous experience at all about running a restaurant. Everything over priced. Food was horrible. Nan was raw. They replaced the Nan but it should not serve at first. Alternative nan was also the worst Nan I have ever experienced. The Chops was raw. I could not eat. My wife said will take home and cook. Sheek Kebab was nice. This was one of the worsts eating experience. Will never go back again. But the staff was extremely good.”

“A hidden gem! I visited here for the first time today and it was definitely worth it. The food was amazing! The service was outstanding by all the staff and in particular Abdullah who served us, excellent customer service. A very clean place I was very impressed overall. Whenever Gajar Halwa is on the menu I have to try it and I have to say they even got the dessert 10/10 Afghan Dera deserves a 10/10 and I would 100% recommend you visit here.”
