"Taste of Afghan is a no-nonsense spot on Peckham’s Rye Lane, ideal for when you didn’t make a reservation anywhere because that would mean admitting to yourself that you’re actually meeting up with this person. Tuck into Afghani plates of piping hot lamb kabali pilau loaded with carrots and raisins, chicken karahi in a fresh, light tomato sauce, and banjan borani. If you’re looking for a low-key spot that takes absolutely no organising, this is it. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Sinead Cranna
