    Generally clean with good menu selection. Paid parking in front of restaurant. Average AED 20/adult with water. The afghan roti is big as expected and only AED3. Pulow rice was okay but slightly sweet because of too much carrots and raisins. Interior design is not appealing but unsurprising. Our waiter Ayub was kind and quick in service. I would come again to this restaurant.

    Must try Afghani mutton pulao..... Good taste, quality and quantity..... Separate tables for families with curtain partition, and Arabic style seating for group of 5 or 6, near to cattle market and fish market Sharjah, while dine in quantity is less, take away is better..............................................................................................................

    A must-visit for all afghani food lovers. The staff is super sweet. The restaurant is huge and has majlis too. They have outdoor seating as well. Do try the afghani pulao which is one of the best I had in Uae. It also comes with Rajma curry which was good. They also serve dal Soup as complimentary. The mixed grill was flavorful, juicy n yummy. Even the chapli kabab was flavorsome and tasty. Quite affordable and highly recommended.

    We ordered through the noon app. The pulao rice was tasteless. Seekh boti tastes bad; it seems that it's old and not fresh. The chicken has a bad smell and doesn't look clean. We threw the food away. it's disgusting. What a waste of money.

    Tried both mutton Pulao and chicken Pulao. They put too much raisins in it....May be Afghani style but it was too sweet for my taste. Chicken Pulao was comparatively better as it was less sweeter in taste. Both mutton and chicken were well cooked and tasted good. Quantity wise it was good. 1 n half person can have a single pulao. It is a good option for those who love less spicy food.

  • 5/5 Afghan Kabab R. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently dined at Al Mathaq Al Afghani restaurant and overall, it was a great experience. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with traditional Afghan decor and friendly staff. The menu offers a variety of Afghan dishes, including kebabs, Afghani polaw rice ,biryanis, and vegetarian options. I tried the lamb kebab and it was cooked to perfection with a tender and juicy texture. The portion size was generous and the accompanying rice and salad were also flavorful and delicious. The service was excellent with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The prices were also reasonable and affordable, making it a great option for a casual dinner or lunch. One thing that could be improved is the limited dessert options, as there were only a few choices available. However, this did not detract from the overall enjoyable dining experience. In summary, if you are looking for authentic Afghan cuisine in a cozy and welcoming environment, I highly recommend Al Mathaq Al Afghani restaurant.
