Red Camel

If you’re craving authentic home-cooked style Afghan food then you won’t be disappointed! We ordered the pulao rice with lamb - so tasty! The lamb was tender and the rice was delicious! We also ordered the aubergine stew which was also devious and went really well with the rice. We also ordered a bread which was great. The meal came with fresh cucumber, tomato, and onion salad and a really zingy green chilli sauce. I will definitely be back and will try the lamb tikka skewers which the chef recommended. The rice size we ordered was a Large and it was more than enough for 2 people. We had leftovers which we took home. So happy we stumbled across this authentic Afghan restaurant!

Red Camel in Leytonstone is honestly one of the best local spots I’ve found. The food is always incredibly flavourful, beautifully cooked, and the portions are very generous. I’m quite fussy with food, but everything I’ve tried here has been consistently excellent. We’ve ordered takeaway several times and it’s been delicious every single time. You can really taste the care that goes into the cooking. The Qabily Pilau is outstanding, and the kobida kebab, lamb shish, and chicken shish are all cooked to perfection. The rice is always spot on too, which makes such a difference. Special mention to Akbar, who always takes great care when preparing the food. He is attentive, thoughtful, and clearly pays close attention to the details, which really shows in the quality. I haven’t eaten in the restaurant yet, but based on the takeaway alone, I would absolutely recommend Red Camel, especially for families. Proper, comforting, well made food done right.

Excellent food, the qabily pallow was my highlight - incredibly juicy lamb falling off the bone with beautifuly seasoned rice. The mixed grill came in with a generous portion, the lamb chops were exceptionally tender and juicy. To top it off, the service was warm and welcoming! Would highly recommend, I'm looking forward to going again

One of the best Afghani cuisine. Top notch Quality with reasonable price. We ordered Qabuli Pulao and Chapli Kebab and the taste was very good. I think this is one of the best taste place in waltham forest county.

Red Camel is a total gem! I went there with some friends, and we were blown away by the incredible Afghan food. Seriously, everything we ordered was top-notch. The lamb and chicken wings were out of this world – so tender and juicy, they practically melted in your mouth. The kebabs were some of the best I've ever tasted, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was great too. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious Afghan dining experience, Red Camel is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I recently visited Red Camel Restaurant and was quite disappointed. The staff were unfriendly, and there was no menu provided before ordering. After the meal, I was charged almost double what I expected. The food quality was poor and lacked flavour. The shop is also very small, with only two tables available, which makes it uncomfortable to dine in. Overall, it felt overpriced and not worth the money or time. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience

If you want to have authentic Afghani cuisine, then this is the place for delicious Kabuli Pulao and lamb skewer. Akbar, the owner is so friendly and Amazing gentleman Highly recommend!

Amazing service and hospitality! Ordered a mixture of everything off the menu to try and each dish was amazing with its own unique flavours. The tender meat and richness of the lamb stew, the perfectly grilled meats which were so soft and juicy and the pulao which was a flavour explosion and had nice pieces of tender lamb throughout. Will definitely visit again when back in London!
