Reviews

1. Ali A ★★★★★

   Excellent Afghan food. Extremely nice service. All the foods are tasty and we have tried a few but personal favourites are: lamb karahi and/or bara. I even love their fries, salad and naan bread. Very friendly and we are regular visitors! The meat is always very tasty and portions are very large so it fills you up. Every time we have so much food and we take away the left overs! Clean cutlery. Nice and comfortable seats. Parking around the corner free in the evenings! Definitely recommend!

   I am speechless. This restaurant really is a gem in Kenton. I have been to many Indian and Pakistani restaurants but never have I tasted a 5 star menu along with 5 star presentation and 5 star service in a setting that is 5 star with an unbelievable interior and decor. The Mehmaan Nawazi (Hospitality) is truly commendable from my Afghani brothers. The kitchen and chef I requested to meet were humble and professional. I don’t have enough words to describe the fusion of food and tradition mixed with a modern feel yet in a western location. And the prices? For the portions? You would be hard pressed to find that in other desi type restaurants. Excellent place all round.

   Had dinner at Balkh Restaurant in Kenton and it was amazing! The food is some of the best Afghan food I’ve ever had – fresh, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The kebabs, rice and naan were all outstanding. Staff were brilliant, so friendly and welcoming, and really made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Afghan food in London.

   The food was below average. Qabili palow and lamb skewers were good. Chapli kebab was below average and mantoo was just OK. The service was never attentive at all. And also I found it very weird this awkward silence cause there was no music at all

   I am visiting Balkh Restaurant since last almost 10 years now. I visited last night with my family and it was same high standard of food and very nice atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and supportive, especially Fareed Bhai was wonderful, running around the restaurant to make things happen on time and perfectly. Truly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. My family loved each and everything. I would recommend to visit Balkh once and you will be addicted with the food and the restaurant.

   I was looking forward to try their Chapli kebab which was a disappointment in the end. They tasted more like Pakora. To be fair to the Manager he acknowledged, when we complained and took it off our bill. The best two things I enjoyed the most was Manto and Fatoush Salad.

   The best Afghani food I’ve had in london at @balkhrestaurant in Kenton. The last time I had Afghan food this good was in Munich in 2019! I was mega hungry after cycling for 90 mins and doing 4 1/2 hours of climbing. In ordered the Qabli Palow (lamb shank with rice) and Mantu (Lamb Dumpling). Both were generous portions and absolutely delicious. I had Dough (yogurt based) to drink. Service was friendly and professional. They also gave me a little bit of home made ice cream on the house. Definitely be returning here again soon.

   Good food, good portion sizes, and friendly staff. Everything was a bit oily for my liking, even the salad greens and rice, but that’s just a personal preference. Would definitely come back!

   Service is excellent. Very friendly. Down side was the food. Is wasnt that is was bad it was just extremely salty. And it was not just me it was a lot of the group complainimg about it too. Also portion of fries which come with the meal is very very small. Ambience is great otherwise.

   We were 9 people once we visited Balkh restaurant, nearly each one of us has different meal from the other. Each meal is a recommendation on its one. The staff is very friendly and very generous. Very very recommend.
