The restaurant was empty for a Friday night on payday weekend which was a little suspicious. But nonetheless, my fiancé and I went inside as we love trying food from across the world. The place had a nice decor, but a little dated. Unfortunately the waiter had very dirty fingernails and my fiancé mentioned that she smelt a strong smell of gasoline when he took her order. We were seriously considering leaving due to the waiter not being the cleanest, as we were worried that the kitchen may not be clean too. But we decided to stay. We ordered a mix grill for 2 which was amazing. The rice was seasoned to perfection, the lamb, chicken and beef skewers were amazing too. Although the lamb chops were very dry and tough. We ordered the virgin mojitos which also went down a treat! All in all, we had a great experience, but I'd recommend that the waiting staff improve their appearance because that is a turn off for many customers.

Went in with a group of friends and the portion sizes were big enough to fill us to the brim! Beautiful food, lovely ambience, and we were sat in the little carpeted book but didn't feel forgotten. Recommend to anyone looking to treat their tastebuds

The food was tasty and delicious. But the place overall was dirty. The sink area was dirty. The garbage can is not working. To throw away used paper after you wash your hands you need to touch it which definitely you don’t want to do it. The menu are all in greasy which doesn’t feel good. The tables in the order area where is the kitchen were dirty. They have to take care this place if they don’t want to lose customers

Best kept local secret! Sizzling clad iron platter heaped with meat, moreish sweet Kabul pilau, zesty curry, fresh salad and the oven-fresh hanging Afghan bread — all fresh, and around £20 per head. I recommend booking the carpet area for a luxurious lie down between bites.

Friendly and polite service. Good, simple food - generous portions and well priced. The Karahis meat was really tender. Orange juice was nice and fresh. We will be back for sure.
