Five stars for the service alone - the most welcoming Afghan restaurant I have visited. We came as a group of six and every plate arrived perfect.

An authentic and delicious Afghan food experience. The staff are kind, the room is calm, and everything is spotless.

The kebab was full of flavour and the mantu never misses. I have ordered many times and it always arrives hot and generous.

Best Kabuli Palaw in Christchurch. The chai at the end of the meal makes it feel like family dinner.
