Ariana - London

Totally rude staff! Stay away if you are looking for good service. Initially wanted a takeaway then decided we will actually grab a table and eat. After a lot of huffing and puffing from who seemed to be manager and saying it’s more expensive to eat in he decided we can sit down. Please bare in mind eating in and takeaway is same prices. I then asked for the menu and there was even more huffing and puffing. All I can say the staff are super rude. Dined in last week food was mediocre but the service was a good 3/10. They really are not bothered about service. Honestly if you are looking for a decent dining service stay away. Not amazing food and bad service I would never be coming back.

The most beautiful and authentic Afghani food very flavourful and tasty best restaurant I've ever been too the Qabeli palaw was so amazing my favourite meat so tender. The atmosphere was so lovely very great afficent service and freindly and warm place calming I would 100 percent recommend going . Man ashiq en lezet lazar . Man ehsas khosh astm. Tashakor Alle lazar. I will definitely be coming back .

A true local gem! We have been coming here nearly a decade and the food has always been consistently fantastic, and portion size good. I would go as far as to say that it’s one of my favourite restaurants in London. There's no way some of the negative reviews on here are genuine! We moved away from the area in 2018 and so have only been picking up takeaways occasionally when in the area and recently when I popped in to collect I met the owner briefly and it was so endearing to know he remembered us and our favourite dishes deserts. Recommended: Qabuli Palouw (lamb shank with rice cooked with fried carrots, raisins, almonds and pistachios) and Shirin Palouw (Rice with orange peel, almonds, pistachio, and grated carrots. Served with grilled boneless chicken) (The chicken is more deeply marinated than anything I have ever tasted elsewhere and always cooked well). If you’re dining here I highly recommend the mint tea while you’re waiting…. And for desert the Afghan rice pudding is divine.

I had a wonderful experience at this enchanting restaurant! I sampled their famous national dish, Kabuli palaw, and it was fantastic! If you enjoy meat-based rice dishes, this is the perfect spot for you. The service was warm and inviting. The food was perfectly seasoned – not too spicy or salty. I highly recommend trying this place out.

I had a wonderful dining experience at an Afghan restaurant in Mile End. The grilled wings were cooked to perfection and the main dishes were also incredibly delicious.
