    Since my first visit, this has been my go-to place to eat when in the area. For those who have never tried Afghan cousine, I would describe the food as a lovely mix of influences, half way between the taste of the Middle East and that of the Subcontinent. The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. Make sure to check the peak times on Google Maps before you go, as it gets very busy in the evenings. You might also consider booking a table. Also, make sure to have cash ready, as they don't accept card payments for the moment.

    It is the kind of a caffe you go just to eat. Service is good, naan and lamb karachi was very good. Floor was very dirty, oily and slippery.

    First time visit, have to compliment the restaurant. Very nice seating and variety of food. Ordered the chappali kebab which was great; was highly recommended by a brother which I found very nicely prepared and tasty!

    I am very satisfied. The customer service is excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive, the food is brought out very swiftly. The portion sizes are very generous and we always get some freebies. We can never finish our big jug of mango lassi and they always let us take the jug home. The quality of the food is great. I will be a regular here

    Absolutely awesome food! Never had Afghan food before as more used to eating Indian, Nepalese and Thai but so pleased I have this place a go. Ordered the chicken curry and Afghan nan (which is about 3 times the size of an Indian nan bread), absolutely wonderful taste and presentation. The hospitality of the staff and owner is outstanding, they all go the extra mile with providing free samples and starters which were equally delicious. Would highly recommend as an alternative to the usual and will defintely be coming back.

    Fantastic good and generous quality and quantity. We visited it couple of weeks ago in Ramadan when open buffet was served for iftar. The food was glorious indeed. Diverse, authentic and rich. Keep up the good standard guys so we keep visiting again. Good luck

    Authentic, tasty and good value for money!! Our experience of the customer service was the stark opposite of some of the other reviews here... not fine dining but that’s what give it it’s charm. Try the chicken soup... not had anything like it but super yummy :)

    I wish to thank everyone involved in the preparation and presentation of our meal on Tuesday evening. It was exceptional in every way and added so much to our enjoyment of what was a double birthday celebration. Please pass on my special thanks to all concerned. We will certainly be coming again and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends

    My first visit to the Afghan restaurant and it was great. The food was tasty, we had the mixed grill, lamb biryani and the mutechi . The meat was soft and flavoursome. It seemed that it was cooked fresh and the staff was pleasant. I would definitely recommend. I don’t normal leave reviews but this was too good not to

    Excellent eating experience, I really enjoyed it..... from walking in the door and being greeted by the young waiter, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 5 minutes. Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server/waiter was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it and I will defiantly be back
