Where to Eat in London This Weekend | Best London Restaurants | Eater London

"Don’t be put off by a takeaway counter or billboard; the interior opens into a pleasantly panelled dining room with a back dais for traditional, cross-legged seating and authentic Afghan cooking. Expect juicy mantoo bursting with seasoned mince, multi-textured naan with pillowy edges and a crisp interior, and huge chapli kebabs studded with tomato and sweet onion and perked with coriander and chilli seeds. Qabuli palow arrives as a sultana-studded mountain of rice hiding a tender lamb shank, while borani-e-bandenjan — fried aubergine smothered with yoghurt and dry mint — is nuanced and reassuring for vegetarian diners; stews, karahis and grilled meats complete a menu that rewards further exploration." - Anna Sulan Masing
