Afghan eatery with signature Qabuli pulao and chapli kebab
"Don’t be put off by the offer of takeaway pizza and chips on the menu — some of the best Afghan food in the area happens to come out of this little eatery’s doors. Takeaway and delivery are possible and there are few dishes not to love. Borani-e-bademjan, fried aubergines served with yoghurt and dry fruit; chapli kebab, huge lamb patties studded with coriander seeds and pearls of onion; and the signature Qabuli pulao are all highlights." - Angela Hui, Shekha Vyas
"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
