Phenomenal service, great recommendations for top dishes and amazing waitress who catered for our large group perfectly. Tender meats, rich curries and banging side. We will be back!

From the first step everything was amazing in this restaurant. Very friendly staff, amazing portions and incredible food. Now it's our hidden gem for pre-theatre dinner. Will definitely be back for more!

Delightful Afghan restaurant with charming and helpful staff. Lots of fine food to chose from with an excellent choice of starters and very tasty mains. We had a great selection of dishes to share and none disappointed, each one was great, in particular the meat dishes were especially succulent. There's also an excellent choice for vegetarians so one can happily eat here too. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it for a hearty meal with great service.

Utterly fabulous Afghan restaurant- huge portions, and delicious especially the chicken shish and the dumplings. BYOB or very reasonably priced soft drinks and mocktails. But the high point is the exquisite service. I mean it, every bit as good as a Michelin starred place. You will feel at home. Highly recommended and already planning my next trip!

Was craving some authentic Afghani food and this place is a real hidden gem in Kilburn high street. Top quality, homemade flavour food. Want to give a shoutout to the very helpful Hamid who was extra helpful to my mates who had not had Afghani food before and stopped them from over ordering, which is a testament to the honesty they provide as they could've easily allowed us to over order and pay them more. Food was fantastic and the sauces they gave were also amazing, especially the chilli. Shoutout this place and Hamid!

The place is a hidden gem in Kilburn high street. Quality, homemade flavour food. Servers were extra helpful to give us a good recommendation when unsure. Plates are massive, so would suggest asking first if it is too much. Great Kabuli pilau and amazing hummus. Would recorecommend!
