5* food and service. The flavour is truly authentic and I personally would recommend the chapali kebab and lamb charsi. The service is also one of a kind makes you feel right at home

One of the best Afghan restaurants I’ve been to! The flavors are authentic, the dishes are made fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s never overly crowded, which makes for a great dining experience. If you go, don’t miss out on the Qabuli Pilau—the flavors are incredible! The lamb tikka kebab was also delicious, perfectly cooked and full of smoky, savory goodness. Highly recommend!

Since I heard this shop is under New management I went to try the food. I ordered a Chapli kebab for takeaway. Whilst I was waiting Mr kalimullah offered me chicken corn soup which was very tasty especially with their homemade chilli sauce with vinegar. Finally I got my takeaway. The chapli kebab was delicious. I definitely recommend their chapli kebab. Please share your experience

I just wanted the rice and the guy said it was 16.95 and for the sake of trying and in hope it was as Baba Wali, I accepted. I went to pick up my order to discover I was given mahicha palow, which is not what I wanted but that's fine because I got soup, bread and chickpeas on the side. The taste is not as good as it was at Baba Wali, the rice quite bland. I enjoyed the chickpeas as a side dish.

Dont order on the phone they dont start making the food till you arrive, they said 45mins for karahi i ended up walking out 1hr 30mins and still didnt get the karahi. Fix this service and dont take phone orders if your not going to start cooking until the customer arrives. There is a reason why people do collection orders, so we dont have to wait.

Authentic afghan food, opposite Hendon masjid so you can pray Maghrib too. One of the best mantu I try in London and I eat mantu everywhere. Nice relaxing place with authentic green tea smell the cardomom and enjoy on the comfortable chairs. Beautiful artwork of places around Afghanistan and afghani TV channel you can watch and enjoy. Feels very homely and is not just a place to eat, but a place to enjoy your evening.

I had dinner here last night, and it was a complete disaster. After waiting 25 minutes, I ordered a lamb shank Kabuli Pilou and a side of lamb kebab, only to be served food that was cold and completely tasteless. I’ve never had cold Kabuli Pilou or kebabs before—certainly not if they were freshly made. I’ve reviewed many restaurants positively, but this place is one to AVOID. They charged me £33 for two inedible dishes. I left the food uneaten; they can have it, but I still paid, out of principle, as I chose to walk into the place. When I asked why I was being charged full price for such poor food, the staff simply smiled and said, "Yes." Unbelievable. Very disappointing.

Previously I have been using this restaurant which was better but now it’s gone worst day by day. The name baba wali mean best food. But this is a shame to have a restaurant like this. The traditional Afghan food is not like the way they make. If anyone tried proper Afghan food they will never ever come to them. I called few time before and every time I been telling them but when I called him today, they said so don’t buy food from us. Every business should respect the costumer reviews because we paying them not getting anything for free. And they should understand this. If they were giving us free food then they can say anything they want to say. Every time when ever I buy food I pay them £45-60. I m really disappointed from their service and food quality. Poor quality food and it’s getting worst day by day. Will never ever visit them. And I think people are clever and they know what to do?

This restaurant has the best Afghan food I’ve ever had. I love their vegetarian options, they’re very diverse and tasty. I especially adore their aubergine dish that is delicious and fulfilling! Their bread is a different story!! I always make sure to take home some extra pieces of it for the second day’s breakfast! I’ve tried many Afghan bread in the area, but Baba Wali’s is the only one made with whole wheat, definitely healthier and more delicious 😋 my son loves their Kabli rice and meat balls! We’re lucky to have this great place in our neighborhood. I always make sure to go there with my friends whenever they’re visiting. Its high standard of food, pleasant service and generosity always impress my guests. Oh and their green tea with its special mix absolutely provides the warmth one needs in London!

So far the best food I had in London cause it was soooo tasty and affordable. The Afghan rice with lamb was so tender and juicy, it made my tastebuds explode cause the flavour was unforgettable. Almost as if I had gone to an Afghan family dinner, because it tasted homemade unlike other many restaurants. Will definitely be returning.

The flavors of the dishes were tantalizing, leaving a lasting impression. The chapli kebabs stood out with their mouthwatering taste and well-balanced spices, making them a definite must-try. However, the dumplings didn't quite reach the same level of excellence as the kebabs. Nevertheless, the service was efficient and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant also contributed to the positive atmosphere. In conclusion, despite the average taste of the dumplings, the deliciousness of the chapli kebabs and the overall great service made it a worthwhile culinary adventure. For those seeking a flavorful journey, this restaurant would undoubtedly make a satisfying choice.

Never disappoints, staff are 10/10 and the managers and owner take time to talk to the customers. The food is prepared insight and of the highest quality produce. Each element is seasoned and is a flavour sensation. The different sauces are flavour bombs in your mouth. It’s nutritious and wholesome. The restaurant is small but bright and light, the staff joke and smile, the food is prepared with love. Some of the best Middle Eastern food in London for sure. The menu is simple and concise but more than enough options, if your a meat eater you won’t miss meat as the vegetables salad and falafel all assembled as they are leave a feeling of completeness, you will leave feeling satisfied having had a journey of flavour and sensations that will leave anyone with a big smile on there face, especially knowing that the food is healthy and nutritious. I have visited most of the branches and had equally as good experiences at each. Thank you

Creo que este lugar ha sido cerrado por Barnet Consejo por la forma que consiguió su cocina, pero no antes del tiempo. El cocinero fuma al lado de la ventana de la cocina y el hedor de los residuos comida desde el día antes se impregna alrededor del edificio. Pedí llevar ... porque me lo recomendaron ... pero un mal estómago y nunca ir allí de nuevo.
