My second time here with my friends and we had a great time. We were waited on by Ionut who was amazing and attentive. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Something as simple as the homemade chips were very yummy. Ionut even went through the whole menu with us and recommended the best dished. We would definitely come here often as we can.

A very highly recommended restaurant in London I enjoyed my meal in this place on my trip to London - The meal quality was satisfactory and I was overall happy with it however, the plate sizes were small and not presentable. I also found that the meal sizes in this restaurant were relatively smaller compared to other similar places. - The customer service was great and the food was served very efficiently without any unnecessary delay. The tea and the afghani sweet were also amazing. - The atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming with a beautiful decoration which was a mixed of traditional and modern designs Overall, I enjoyed visiting this place Keep it up mates

One of my favourite dependable restaurants in the area. The food is always outstanding with a special mention to the grilled fish which is seasoned to perfection. The borani is also incredible.

I am speechless. This restaurant really is a gem in Kenton. I have been to many Indian and Pakistani restaurants but never have I tasted a 5 star menu along with 5 star presentation and 5 star service in a setting that is 5 star with an unbelievable interior and decor. The Mehmaan Nawazi (Hospitality) is truly commendable from my Afghani brothers. The kitchen and chef I requested to meet were humble and professional. I don’t have enough words to describe the fusion of food and tradition mixed with a modern feel yet in a western location. And the prices? For the portions? You would be hard pressed to find that in other desi type restaurants. Excellent.

This is a piece of Afghanistan in London. Said with confidence, the place is probably one of the best tasting afghan restaurants in Europe. We ordered mahicha palow, bara kabab, mantoo, borani banjan and dough for a family of 5. All the dishes were 5/5 at excellent price. The staff are polite and super helpful. We look forward to returning again.
