"What a great experience! Couldn't fault anything; everything was perfect. Food: 5+ stars. Same goes for all the waiters, really polite and with a smile on their faces all the time. And really reasonable prices for the quality of food. Whenever I visit London, this will be the first stop. Thanks again. I hope it stays like this all the time."

"We absolutely love this restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with such genuine warmth and kindness. The staff are always incredibly friendly and make you feel truly valued as a guest. The food is on another level — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish is over-the-top delicious. The complimentary drink and dates at the start are such a thoughtful touch and really reflect the care they put into hospitality. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely keep coming back!"

"Walked past, turned around with curiosity, and blew our minds. Simply amazing food. We were hosted by the owner who is the proudest, most attentive, and nice guy. We had the Afghan equivalent of a rice lamb dish (amazing) and lamb skewers with salad and super massive nan breads. All the staff were great, knowledgeable, friendly, and what a cool vibe inside. Coming back with friends, thanks everyone!"

"The full chicken and rice is 10/10!! Sooo good, especially the rice. Meat is very juicy too. Comes with salad too (which I already ate before the food came ), which is very fresh. Portion size is incredible too, all this for £16!? Enough for two people"

"We decided to come here for dinner, and I’m so glad we did! We ordered the family mix platter for 3–4 people, including chicken shish, lamb kofta, lamb chopan, wings, Afghani rice, and so much more. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish! We also chose the floor seating, which was so homely and comfortable. Definitely recommend! The staff were also incredibly kind and friendly with our little one. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much. :)"

"I used to come here with my friends — the xhapli kebabs, lamb karahi, and their Kabuli pulao are the best I’ve ever tried in London. And Mr. Abdullah, Mr. Halal, and all the staff are super collaborative."

"This is a Shining example of Afghan Cuisine. We did not make a booking and the restaurant was clearly busy when we got there but the friendly manager found us a table. We ordered the mixed platter, lamb and chicken with a traditional giant naan on a stand with a side order of pilav rice. The food arrived on time and all I can say is that it was very good. The lamb was tender, not overdone and both meats were juicy and tasty. In terms of flavour, well balanced and clearly done with an expert touch. Service was good. I highly recommend this restaurant."
