Best Restaurants in London Marginal Seat Harrow East | Eater London

"On the lower half of Kenton Road, this Afghan restaurant has quickly established itself as one of the best places in the area for grills and karahis. Depending on how big the canvassing group it’s possible to pre-order a mixed grill (3-4), a lamb shoulder (5-6), a lamb leg (6-7) or the whole beast. (15+)." - Jonathan Nunn

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.

Just ordered some food from this restaurant — I’m so disappointed and honestly sad. They completely ruined Afghan food for me and my guests. The food was way too salty and not cooked properly. The Chapli Kebab… I’ve never had anything like it — and not in a good way. Absolutely terrible. I’m never going back to this place. I ordered: Qabeli Mantu Sabzi (which they charged for separately) Chapli Kebab Sorry, guys — I had to bin it all.

I don’t think the chunk of lamb service in Qabuli Pillow is fresh, it has smelled cooked before one day or couple of days. Because I cook lamb Mandi in my brother restaurant and the Sauce of Chicken Curry or Chicken tikka Massala like pasta sauce. Also the Food portion is small and little, we had a couple and two kids. Cost us £56.10

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.

Delicious food prepared with fresh meat and fine spices - You will only find it on Balkh Restaurant- — feeling happy at Balkh Restaurant. My first experience was not good enough but The restaurant management immediately took action on my complaint and very kindly welcomed me back. Thank you and I must recommend you to all

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

Great service, nice presentation and warm welcome. The food does lake a bit of taste and tends to arrive slightly cold, maybe having warm plates would be a good idea for managent to implement. Also the cuisine is a bit on the lighter side with salt, speak to your chef as that right balance of salt will make a difference, I have come to your place with different guests and they all share the same opinion. You need a bit more salt in all your dishes.
