Parwana Afghan Kitchen

Menu is small and simple, but the food was so tasty. Everything we ordered was delicious and above our expectations in terms of food quality and taste. Service was great. Nice slow music, you can have a conversation and enjoy the meal. If you want drinks, it is BYO. So make sure to get your alcohol since they don’t provide alcohol at the restaurant. This is the best Afghan food I have ever had. 5stars for everything. Will visit again.

We visited late on a weeknight for dinner. It was busy and very popular we thought. We ordered the vegetable fritters, dumplings, rice and the chicken dish. The menu is small with a few selections for each course, brilliant. It's simple! The food was fresh and cooked well but for us it was disappointing with actual flavour. We felt it was all under seasoned and needed more spices, Bland and lacked that wow factor I was hoping for. It was over $110 for a soft drink each, shared entree, rice, dumplings and the chicken. The gentleman that owns it was lovely. We had a long chat with him about his family history and his story. The restaurant is warm and inviting with family photos up on the walls. If only the food was as sensational as we'd been told it was. We would definitely go back if it was. We may revisit and see if it was just a one off.

The menu seemed quite limited, not a lot of options. Although have to give credit where it’s due as each dish packed a lot of flavour and also was very quick to come out probably due to the fact everyone else is ordering the same dishes. Filling portions, with only 3 dishes we were very full between the two of us. The lamb was the highlight, very flavourful and spiced well. The lamb was also soft and easy to chew. The chutney was minty and paired well with the lamb. The eggplant dish was nice and the eggplant taste was strong not overpowered by the seasonings. The fried dumplings were still crisp despite the lamb mince and yoghurt on top. The restaurant is quite popular which makes the environment loud with chatter, so if you’re looking for a quaint and quiet place to eat, this is not the restaurant for you. Overall a good restaurant to try Afghan dishes.

We had an amazing dinner. The food was extraordinary, very decadent, and wholesome. The idea that the food is made we love. Exclusively byo and the staff were so knowledgeable and charismatic. Such a pleasure. We ordered the eggplant, the dumplings, and the dips. Highly recommend

Some may say it’s like Egyptian/middle-eastern…. Indian or even Malay. But if Parwana is anything to go by, the Afghan cuisine is a mish-mosh of all of the above, and shaped by their own unique identity. Homey, soul-filling food in a warm and cosy setting that is reminiscent of someone’s livving area in that part of the world. Brilliant dinner in my first Adelaide outing. (Thanks Phil Rosenthal). Kabuli Palaw (rice half -portion) Qormeh Gosfand (lamb korma) Karayee Morgh (pan fried chicken) Banjaan Borani (eggplant not pictured)

Cute little place with delicious food. Not just a great place to get a good feed but a wonderful cultural experience in a beautiful atmosphere. It was also very reasonably priced for what you get. Great place for a date night. Was busy but still felt private and was able to have a convo over dinner.

A delicious treat for the senses. Great service and such tasty dishes. Book it in and be prepared for the adventure 5*

If you’re looking for an authentic Afghan taste and experience, Parwana Afghan Kitchen is a must visit. Parwana always welcome their guests like a feel at home experience where food tastes delish from appetizer to main and desserts. A highly recommended place to eat in Adelaide .
