I was expecting less because of the reviews.. but actually had good food there. Service and atmosphere were great as well. Only thing we didn’t like was the rice, bad for some reason. But giving 5 stars because 4 is too low 😅

Paid so much money and it was absolutely disgusting and inedible and disappointing. Ordered the Mantu and saffron rice and few others. Wallahi it was rubbish it tasted so bad that I wanted to cry. The mantu was soggy and flavourless and the rice had too much butter and literally no flavour at all. Pls management fix your food. I was excited to try but was very disappointed. I will NEVER eat this food again. Pls pls pls improve your food quality and taste.

This restaurant was amazing, there is so much to say. First of all the food, absolutely exceptional, me and my wife live local and have seen this beautiful restaurant in the park sitting so cozy, we were greeted by and amazing and well spoken young man (Tinosh) we sat outside in there garden area and the flowers were beautiful. Me and my wife many of the starters and just could not get enough of the fresh bread that is evidently made with love. We were then given our mix grill which was delicious and more than enough. I want to thank the team and Tinosh for giving us such an amazing experience dining and enjoying Persian cuisine. Recommend highly and want to say a very big thank you. (The portion sizes were perfect) an established restaurant.

I requested gravy because the dish to too dry. A similar dish comes with a separate tub of gravy. They completely ignored me. Instead gave me 2 hot sauces. Dish costing over £20 you'd think they would include a tub of gravy. Fed up of businesses you give loyalty to and they treat you this way. Will be the last time I buy from this place. Feel like I'm having to beg for service that should be automatic. Just lost me and my friends I normally go with as customers. That's a lot of money in 1 year.

We used to go there regularly, food and service used to be so good, between 2013-2018. After 6 years I went today with my daughter to celebrate my daughter’s end of year achievements. Sadly we did not enjoy the food, lamb chops was so dry and so were the lamb skewers. Sadly the food quality was nothing like what it used to be. And the service was terrible, I felt like I was making conversation to kill the silence when we were being served.

I recently had a highly disappointing experience with [Company Name] that left me frustrated and disheartened. From start to finish, the level of customer care and service was appalling. To begin with, the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional. My inquiries were met with dismissive attitudes, and it seemed as though my concerns were not valued at all. The representative I dealt with was not only unhelpful but also downright disrespectful, making the entire interaction uncomfortable and unpleasant. Furthermore, the service provided was far below acceptable standards. My issue was not resolved in a timely manner, and I was repeatedly given incorrect information, which led to further confusion and delays. It was evident that there was a lack of training and competence among the staff, which is unacceptable for a company of this size. Overall, my experience with [Company Name] was nothing short of a nightmare. The combination of misbehaving staff and poor customer care left me feeling undervalued and frustrated. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company unless they significantly improve their customer service.

If you’re Persian (as I am), you’ll be disappointed. I’ve lived in the area 20 years and go here maybe once every 2 years if I am feeling desperate for Persian food, only to be reminded each time of why I should trek to west London for my Persian food fix. It is almost always a disappointment. (In the interests of fairness I had a nice joojeh kebab here once). Today I popped in for a cup of tea with a friend and she wanted a small nibble on something so I suggested my favourite Persian starter (kashk-e-bademjan). The food arrived; and honestly it was awful. I tried a mouthful and thought it was bad. But I was hungry so tried a second mouthful and decided I couldn’t eat any more. My friend ate as a) she didn’t know what it was supposed to taste of and b) was also hungry despite the odd aftertaste. Even so we left half the dish. I spoke to the waiter afterwards and said it was not good. (Because the “kashk” part of the dish in fact was not what it is meant to be - it was diluted with yoghurt) and the main part simply tasted bad. In Farsi we would say it tasted of “zogh” which is a bit like rotten eggs or the smell dishes sometimes get when they come out of the dishwasher and there isn’t enough rinse aid). Anyway the waiter just came back with the bill. Which we paid. I then went to speak to the owner as the waiter had nothing further to say about the food; not even an apology. I told him we had paid for the food but I was unhappy and wanted to give feedback. First of all he told me that I would have been paying for the food anyway whether I liked it or not; so that was a moot point that I was making. (Wow! Nice way to get the customer on side). He then challenged me on why I thought it tasted bad, telling me he’s been the chef and owner for 20 years and this is how he’s always made it. I told him I’ve never had HIS “kashk-e-bademjan” before but it didn’t taste like any version of it I’ve ever had before. Regarding the bad egg taste/ dishwasher taste he told me that the dishes are all washed so I have no concerns there. My point wasn’t that the plate smelt but rather that the food tasted bad, but he didn’t seem to care. In the end his dismissiveness and rudeness meant I just walked away, it wasn’t worth my time to try and discuss anything with him when he clearly had already decided not to take on board my feedback. In conclusion; the food is not reflective of good Persian food (based on all the times I’ve eaten here) and based on today’s experience the service was awful too.

Just stumbled upon this restaurant in my neighborhood. Surprisingly, it's been around for the last 12 years, yet I never noticed it before. Can't quite recall the name of the meals we ordered, but the dish in the photo, labeled as number 44, is definitely a must-try. Oh, and their traditional ice cream? Absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything we had was top-notch, a solid 10 out of 10. Safe to say, I'm now a huge fan of Afghan cuisine.

Lovely aubergine, honestly really delicious. But a strange place. Took me a while to work out what was odd - then realised most other customers were men. A couple of women, but only in groups with men. Mostly the customers were men dining alone or groups of men. I was a woman dining alone, and they behaved really weirdly. I ordered two starters (aubergine & bread), they only brought one & then tried to charge me for both. I asked for a glass of water and they did not bring it. I’d love to go back and try the other dishes, but probably only if in a group with men

A true local gem which deserves far higher than its current star rating! We have been coming here more than a decade and have been served dozens of times and the food has always been consistently fantastic, and portion size good. In fact today (takeaway order) was the first time they made a small error (we ordered 40b shirin pilau and got 40c - but still delicious though 40b is still our favourite). It’s still one of our favourite restaurants in London. There's no way some of the negative reviews on here are genuine! Likely jealous competition trying to jeopardise! Recommended: Qabuli Palouw (lamb shank with rice cooked with fried carrots, raisins, almonds and pistachios) and Shirin Palouw (Rice with orange peel, almonds, pistachio, and grated carrots. Served with grilled boneless chicken) (The chicken is more deeply marinated than anything I have ever tasted elsewhere and always cooked well). If you’re dining here - I highly recommend the mint tea while you’re waiting…. And for desert the Afghan rice pudding is divine.

I love afghan food and was excited to eat here as I was craving some land and rice. We went in and the person I was with ordered a starter , something like a soup and it had a hair in it. The waiter took it back and brought a fresh one but by this time my company was unsure about eating here and asked if they sure no hair in the new one , the cook came out and was quite rude and didn't even offer an apology for a hair being in the food. I got my rice but the mood was already spoilt and I didn't enjoy. Ate half because I was hungry and took the rest to go. It was ok but there are better restaurants around

When the waiter brought out another one it looked like the same plate . I told the chef he needs to wear a hat when cooking and intold him it's his hair and he said no maybe it's fr OK m the veg abs I said so then you didn't wash the veg properly and he said sometimes this happens.

Allergies or intolerance? Don't bother. Staff who served me didn't understand much English and were very rude to me. After lots of back and forth they told me I could only eat one thing on the menu, despite last time being told aliums could be removed from everything on the menu (which I'm intolerant to). The whole situation was very stressful and after all the drama my food had onions in. There was no offer to comp the affected meal and initially no apologies whatsover. We refused to pay for it. Ruined my evening entirely.

We have been going to this place for a while as there aren’t very many options for decent halal food in this area, their food used to be quite good, not amazing but good, recently though their waiters hygiene with dirty nails while serving, awful smelly non ironed clothes and their restaurant is really run down and dirty on the outside specially and food is below average, dishes aren’t very clean either so we won’t be going here again. Will travel to central London for much better places and at better prices too!

There are many issues with this restaurant. Firstly, the food was horrendous. The lamb tasted like eggs, no meat flavour. The chicken, too, had a weird texture and was flavourless. Secondly, there were no complimentary dishes such as bread or any dips as given in any other restaurant of their calibre. Thirdly, the interior design, in my opinion, was dark and did not set a nice mood to enjoy the food. I strongly suggest you do not come here, you will get better quality food for your money at any other chicken shop.

Love love love this place. I tried the one in Kilburn and Mile end. Very huge portion for the price in London. I always go for the skewer.

One time I went in fasting and the lady gave me a very tasty pudding. So heartwarming, thank you so much.

The food they *actually* make is really good and well priced - recommend the Kubideh and he Qabuli Pillaw. That said, no self-respecting restaurant should be serving starters, such as Hummus, that they do not make themselves and are instead cheap store bought, and if you insist on doing so then you need to make this extremely clear to customers, both in the menu and verbally. We ordered the hummus and I could not swallow it given how terrible it was - this is not expensive or difficult to make yourself (fyi server confirmed it was store bought on questioning). I will return but will not make the mistake of ordering any starters again.

1 star for the hospitality and another for the dessert. The food unfortunately smelt like it was a few days old, I am 99% sure it wasn’t cooked fresh. The flavour was bland, definitely not worth the price, and the food is at a standard that shouldn’t be served to customers. I’ve had much better Afghan cuisine elsewhere. It is very unfortunate because we were treated very well, but serving paying customers food that is off is not right.

These guys fell off BIG TIME this used to be the best place in Mile End to eat.. they served us bread 10 minutes before our starters even came and within minutes it turned into crunchy crisp. The food was so bland, and we had to ask twice for our drinks and received them 10 minutes after our mains were served. They didn’t have any facilities for changing my child’s nappy I had to do it on an empty table in front of the restaurant that too after insisting I NEED TO CHANGE MY CHILDS NAPPY because the waiter just kept telling me there’s nowhere to change my child’s nappy?? How are you even a family restaurant if you can’t cater to families? I really do hope they step up their game as I said it used to be the best place to eat authentic afghan food.

We placed a large order, but it was a solid two hours late. Tried incessantly to reach the restaurant, without success. This was a random Thursday, but going by the other reviews no odd occassion.

My favourite place to have a cozy time with tasty food. Staff are good and food is perfectly tasty. Slightly pricy but it could be worth it.

The mixed grill here was nice which I enjoyed. However, the Kabuli Pilao was very disappointing and the meat dish we were served was boring and cold. Not a great attempt at Afghani food which I’m quite a big fan of.

We were on our way to another restaurant to celebrate our first night in London when we walked past this restaurant and couldn’t resist the smells wafting out across the back patio. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly and professional. Highly recommend. The food is phenomenal.

very conveniently located but I would 10000% recommend crossing over the road and going to Jolene's. Don't go near the mochas here unless you like 4 sugars in your coffee to mask the horrendous bitterness. service is alright but its clear that they hope the coffee 'speaks for itself' and at £4.40 for a small takeaway cup I am not happy

Some unusual cakes. It looks quite appetizing, so we decided to try it. We took one of each: Azuki bean, Vanilla custard and Matcha custard. The only one we really liked was the one with vanilla. The one with beans was a bit strange, the one with matcha, neutral. You can pay by card.

We booked a table as a euro 2024 package to watch the England v Denmark game & were given a table where we could not see the TV. I asked the bar man if we could move & was told a flat no. There was zero effort or customer service. If they didn’t have room, they should have declined our booking & we could have gone elsewhere. The food was really average & the glass collector was rude when I tried to move seats so I could actually see the TV, told me I was blocking his way when I wasn’t. Overall really poor customer service and a grim experience. I would not recommend and won’t visit again. Definitely a pub to avoid!
