Afghan Restaurant

A far cry from the uninspired, bland British fare that’s as common as rain is in this country... What impressed me was the service, you see I wanted a sauce side dish with my kebab and rice, normally if I ask this question anywhere else a disinterested patron answers, “we only have what’s on the menu...” However at Afghan, the lovely afghani server said, “don’t worry brother,” with a big smile and recommended a tomato dish that I couldn’t pronounce. I said thank you and sat down. When my food arrived the server placed a heaping mound of steaming rice with two, big, juicy lamb kebabs and my tomato stew dish on the side. To my surprise the tomato stew had tender, succulent, fall-off-the bone chicken pieces in it, don’t need a knife or a fork, I could just tear prices off with a spoon. OMG I thought, they’re going to charge me an extra £5-10 for this. “The food was worth it though,” I thought and I ate gladly. When I went to counter to pay, the server said, “My brother I charge you £10 okay?” WOW... thank you I said and I’m going to give you a good review! The lamb was £8.50 I believe the tomato chicken stew was on the menu at £15/kg! Amazing service, made me feel at home! Will definitely be back!

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

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.

Food is nice but despite not being busy they seemed to be overwhelmed serving a few tables. Seems like they are understaffed or staff need training. Due to the lack of service where parts of the order were missed and given in the wrong order meant that food was incorrectly prepared. We ordered the Chapli Kebab as a starter and because it was missed they rushed cooking them and spoilt them. The same went for a few other dishes. It was obvious it had been rushed. But I believe in general the food was good. I especially enjoyed the Charsi Lamb.
