"Price Range: $$ Afghan immigrants have carved a corner for themselves in Lajpat Nagar, one of Delhi’s most thriving neighborhoods and home to some of the city’s best street food. There, Mazaar strives to replicate Kabul cuisine for Delhi customers. Get the borani banjan, a stewy dish made from eggplant and tomatoes, or the chellow kebab, chicken lightly spiced and marinated in lemon and yogurt, served with rice. You can also enjoy unlimited cups of green tea and Afghan naan, searing red and patterned from the oven, to be eaten with sides or topped with butter as a snack. Must-try dish: Look for sheer yakh, cold yogurt topped with pomegranate seeds from the mountains of Afghanistan, which occasionally appears." - Sharanya Deepak

Love the food. The afghani pulao is a must try. The meat here is cooked to perfection and is very succulent. Also tried the mutton tikka and grilled chicken. The chicken was very good, flavours were mild but good. Good sitting space. Good service. Great ambience. One of the best place to enjoy afghani cuisine.

I had to wait for over an hour to get a seat for two. But the mutton chopan kebab was perfect. Everything to the last minute detail! I doubt you’ll get a kebab so perfectly cooked anywhere else in Delhi.

Mazaar restaurant was an experience in itself. The atmosphere was vibrant, lively, and cheerful. You can enjoy Afghani food here like mutton chopan kabab Mutton Handi, Chicken Handi, kabuli Uzbeki Pulao and diffrent varities of rice Varrietis of kabaabs pizza and labenes food also. But what I liked the most was the Mutton Chopna Kebab And seek kabab । Kabuli Uzbeki was also good.I did not like the Chicken Handi and Bread much but everyone has their own taste. The staff was very gentle and polite and the cleanliness was also good.I would like to tell you that you must visit it once.

Mazaar Restaurant offers an extensive range of non-vegetarian dishes, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy hearty, meat-centric meals. However, the flavors in their non-veg menu may not appeal to every palate, as the seasoning and preparation style can feel a bit niche. For vegetarians, the experience is noticeably limited. The veg options are minimal, and the ones available don’t quite deliver in terms of taste or balance. That said, Mazaar truly shines when it comes to desserts. Their sweet offerings are impressive, beautifully prepared, and easily the highlight of the entire meal. If you have a sweet tooth, their dessert selection alone makes the visit worthwhile.

the mutton and whole chicken roast are incredibly satisfying. Mogul food at its finest, the waiting time on weekends is a bit , but its worth the wait. i did feel the coordination among the waiters and cook are a bit flimsy as it took a long intervals of time if we ordered inbetween, but once the food is here, we forgave everything.

Excellent value for money! 💰 I tried it again after 3 to 4 years, and the quality and quantity remain just as good as before. A must-try experience — Afghani cuisine offers a rich and authentic taste without being overly spicy. Truly an amazing experience worth repeating!

We ordered Uzbeki Pulao, Hummus with lamb and Jujeh Kebab and 2 tall bottles of lassi.The dishes were well cooked and served with rice that was fragrant , moist and very well cooked. The lamb was soft and melt in the mouth.The Afghan servers were very polite and the owner is a young Sikh man who has lived in Iran for 25 years. It was my first time sitting in sitting enclosures by taking the shoes off in a relaxed atmosphere. The ambience is good and the Persian,Iranian food is yummy. The food is authentic hence bland and should not be compared with Indian spicy cuisine.Me and my office colleagues lived the hospitality and taste.There is ample parking outside and they accept all kinds of payment.

At some level we can say their food are authentic but not so tasty. I have ordered Kabuli uzbeki, motton tikka aur roasted chicken but the taste of all items were not so tasty.
