Fatboys Joint in Crawley

Decided to try out this place. Good location, clean inside and lots of choice. Ordered two house burgers and sadly they were a let down. They were completely flavourless, no seasoning and cooked so dry, chips were ok but again not great.

I don’t understand why it hurts the owner to give more chips. I counted 11 chips. Potatoes are not expensive. I understand the burger may be of high quality, but why would they be so stingy on chips? We visited when fasting and it was atrocious how little the portion was. We went to a competitor straight after. This is the last time we will come. Most annoying experience. This is for people who have money to waste and are only looking for a snack. Don’t expect to be fulfilled if you are hungry. I am a BIG foodie, I love eating out but trust me this place will be gone within a year. It’s pathetic how bad things are, these portions are getting smaller. Absolutely disgusting. Just think about it. These guys are being stingy on potato??? They charged £8 for burger and chips which cost value was less than £1. I would pay £15 next time but these monkeys will still give you 10 chips because the greed level is crazy.

We were excited to try Fat Boys Joint based on good reviews. We ordered one of their burgers, houmous and also the Dum Pokht ‘curry’. When it arrived, the burger was ok but accompanied by bland soggy chips all stuck together. The houmous didn’t come with any kind of bread, perhaps my fault for assuming as a starter it would. I don’t recall seeing bread/pitta as an option (could be wrong). The Dum Pokht was a greasy, runny mess with 3 chunks of lamb and half a potato. Honestly looked like dirty washing up water. Not what we were expecting at all. We did try it but it was also really spicy despite being described as mild. We ended up throwing it away. An expensive mistake and can safely say we won’t be going back.

I visited FatBoys joint in august during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme due to the supposedly amazing reviews it has received, I am so glad I didn’t waste my money paying full price for some of the most horrendous Asian food I have ever tried my entire life. We ordered the lamb Namak mandi Karahi, haleem and kabuli pilau.I was shocked out how the lamb karahi consisted of TINNED tomatoes (as opposed to the ‘fresh’ curry sauce they advertised) the few pieces of lamb had absolutely no flavour, did not taste fresh in the slightest. All I could taste was maybe a dash of chilli powder. Poor. 1/10The Haleem could’ve been mistaken for, and I’m sorry to say this, sewage. No Haleem should ever be that watery in consistency, I’m not even sure in contained a trace of meat or lentils. The only flavour was coming from the shredded ginger on top. It was most likely microwaved or reheated because there is no way that was fresh. 1/10And last but not least, the diabolical excuse of ‘kabuli pilau’ as an afghan native, this was quite frankly embarrassing. Imagine undercooked rice that tasted like boil in a bag rice, the most flavourless lamb that was very clearly not cooked with the rice, topped with boiled carrots. That’s it. No flavour, nothing. I am rarely left feeling sick after eating out. This dish is the make or break for an Afghan restaurant. This was not made by Afghan chefs. It is an absolute embarrassment to call it an afghan canteen. Shocking. -1/10 And for what it’s worth, the naan was the driest naan I’ve ever had. 2/10Worst of all, it took just over an hour for our food to be delivered. The waiter was unable to communicate in English and so had to frequently get another member of staff to translate. I understand this is not his fault, but it is shameful for the owners of this restaurant to exploit someone like this. Also, it was hard to identify who was a customer and who was staff because they don’t have a uniform or apron even. The staff did not seem present, very rude and was unable to get their attention. I won’t comment on the aesthetics of the establishment other than it looks like a run down community hall. I am heavily questioning the authenticity of these reviews. I have never until this day left a negative review but my experience at FatBoys was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had.

The food was actually quite nice, but the unforgivable part starts with an incorrect dish being delivered. Meaning one of us went without a meal. We called the restaurant (who didn’t pick up) okay they may have been busy which is fine. So we left a voice message with contact details and giving the order number. Over a week on and we still haven’t received any form of contact to sort or apologise for this. Therefore I would not recommend this establishment and will not be returning.

Enjoyed dinner here on a Friday early evening. Restaurant was completely empty apart from us and several takeaway collectors coming in and out. The restaurant looks more like a kebab shop and not friendly to sit in, but this doesn’t really matter. Friendly service and the food is very tasty and reasonably priced. I’d like to return to try other dishes on the menu.

Ordered food to be delivered. 1st time we tried this restaurant so I’m just going to stick to the pros and cons. Pros: The food was timelyIt was on the whole tasty & the ingredients looked & tasted fresh Cons: It was cold - and I mean COLD The burgers were sloppy beyond belief and squashed into a weird flat shape in the styrofoam container. You could not pick it up and eat it like you would do ordinary - it just fell apart. The bun was soggy to the point of being like papier-mâché so we had to pull it apart and eat the components separately. I feel this could probably been mitigated by roasting the bunBut perhaps worst of all was that the burger patties were undercooked (pink) in places which had to be picked around (everyone knows pink minced beef is a big health hazard and a no-no) the loaded fries were advertised with cheese on them. It is NOT cheese - it is either those orangey / yellow burger ‘cheese’ slices melted on the fries- or worse yet that squeezy processed cheese from a can. It was really very poor. So to summarise : very cold, very soggy, bad cheese and undercooked mince meat in the burger. To list the plusses: the flavours were not bad, it seemed to be fresh produce and the Chapli kebabs (starter) were very good indeed. Would I order again? - no I’m afraid not. Not enough attention to detail or quality on what was sent out 2 out of 5 stars at the most - and that’s probably a little higher because I was hungry !

Went for a late lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Went for curry, but seriously tempted by the burgers, so will go for them next time.Food was great, two of us shared a curry each, a naan, and two side dishes - plenty there and all really fresh and tasty.Plus, the service was really friendly, and the bill was pleasantly low as well.Next time we're in Crawley will definitely go back.

Me and My friend’s family visited this so called restaurant ( looked like an old furniture shop with some half dead human) 31 of August at 3.30 pm. We booked a table for 8 people (4 Adults & 4 Children). It was our day out plan, after a few shopping we went to this restaurant at 3.30. by this time we were very hungry so was our children. Now I will explain you our total experience of that visit. 1. Restaurant : Looked like an old furniture shop or old store room2. Staff : Unwelcoming, Hardly initially recognise who is who as they didn’t have any dress culture and Nothing professional, no manner. We came across two staff at last who that time tried to clean a table. Asked them about our booking, after asking several times he looked at us with bad attitude; seems he had seen some ugly animal Infront of him, showed us the table that he is cleaning then. 3. Waiting time : As all of us including our children were very hungry, we ordered food quickly within 5 minutes after sitting down. But we had to wait approx. 1 hour 15 minutes. Then 1 dish of food arrived but again we had to wait another 15 minutes for the rest of food items. 4. Service : no cleaned cutlery, jug of water dirty, we ordered for drinks but didn’t served.5. Food : in a word I would say it’s RUBBISH. It looked like the food was in the Dustbin and was gotten out. As we were starving; we tried to eat some from them but after putting in the mouth we felt like vomiting. We tried to let our children eating chips, but it was not the fried one.it seemed it from micro oven although I requested them to make it well cooked. Consequently, We left the place hungry, Our children were screaming until we got home. I will never forget such disgusting situation, Especially slum foods.

I visited this restaurant with my date and had to wait 45 minutes for our drinks and then my main was served and her starter came but no main. We had to ask several times for our soft drinks and my starter. When I started eating my food I realised that the chicken was freezing cold, I could not believe it!When I had taken my plate back, I was told it would take a couple minutes. I waited nearly 15-20 minutes for my food and my date had near enough finished hers. Once, returned they hadn’t given me back my cutlery and I had to ask several times for that too.Do not go here, I’ll never visit this place again 50 percent off or not. It’s not worth it seriously!!!!!

The food was absolutely delicious and staff ever so friendly and accommodating. I especially love that they have fresh naan straight from the tandoor and their meat dishes are very tasty and tender. I would highly recommend.

We went looking for a different sort of meal for a romantic getaway. The restaurant was basic but friendly, but the service and food was anything but basic. Delicious, cheap and wonderful. Also the mint lemonade was incredie.

Went here for a a test out as it was something different for me and the food was unreal so axing actually words can not describe how nice this food was and the staff were unbelievable so friendly and lovely I will definitely be going back

The food was fantastic. Definitely try the signature dishes, very flavoursome. The service was good as well, lovely people. The exact rice we wanted wasn't available so they made something similar for us instead!

Everything about this place is wonderful, still. You simply have to go there yourself as no description can do it justice. Thanks so much to the owners for providing such a good experience that we regularly do a two hour round trip just to eat there.

Seriously some of the best food that I have ever eaten. Ther meatballs were sensational and the Karahis out of this world. I can't wait to go back and try some of the rest of the magnificent menu. It is also worth noting that they have a full range of wonderful burgers as well as Afghan/Pakistani kebabs. Literally something for everyone. Oh, and the salted lassi is to die for!!Go there soon!!

Second visit for my husband who insisted we HAVE to try it. So glad we did as it was the best Kobeda kebab I’ve had and I’ve had plenty in various shops in Manchester. Great authentic tasting Kobeda, chicken and rice.. I hope we pass Crawley again so we can try it again.The service by the 2 gentlemen while we were there was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Ordered the usual Chappli kabab which has now lost its size and juiciness. Please bring back the actual size it was.

Went in here not knowing what to expect and was blown away. 100% authentic afghan cuisine. Rich flavours and aromas combined with a large menu which would suit anyone makes this place a must if in Crawley! Recommended highly!

Nice little restaurant. The food tasted great, chicken was juicy as was the kebab. Had a good curry, a little salty for us but nonetheless really very tasty and juicy. Naan bread amazing!

Excellent Afghani/Pakistani cuisine. Nice friendly family atmosphere, good service and tasty food. I have been to this place a few time now with friends and family and they all like this place and food. Specially their Lamb karahi and naan bread is not something you will find locally. Highly recommended.

Great service, top food. Different to the usual curry house. I went for the chicken Afghan curry - really good.

We went as a family and bumped into friends while there. We all agreed that this was a hidden gem. The food was superb, the kabab were delicious, the lamb karahi was amazing and the mint tea was a lovely finish. Staff were friendly smiling, nothing was too much trouble. If I lived in the area,this is where I would go everyday.

I've just arranged a friend-get-together this weekend, and after my friends feedback I felt so proud I've brought them here, and I've chose Fat Boy's over the local chain restaurants.Prices are more than reasonable, food is delicious, filling portions, cosy atmosphere and the service couldn't be more personalised. Staff is professional and helpful, highly recommended!

Visited for something different. Definitely didn't disappoint. Went for a variety of dishes for 2, very helpful staff and quick service. Well priced and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing lamb, the nicest I've had. Would definitely reccomend to anyone.

Asgar and his team were really friendly. Meat from menu was tender and tasty, we were a group of 10 and we all loved the food. All came out together and warm.

I love a restaurant which caters for all and indeed they do. They have everything from burgers and chip to kebabs and pilau rice with curry/stew. If you enjoy home made, well seasoned food that is filling and big on taste and portions then come and try this restaurant. Just be careful you dont order something too spicy for your palate! Have already visited here again since our first visit but this time my husband grabbed us a take away as a surprise! Enjoyed the food just as much the second time around even if my Afghan naan was a little charred! Our go to restaurant/takeaway for something bold and flavourful!

Not the most attractive of premises but easy to get past this. - met up with friends and decided to eat before travel into London. The name is not very PC but they do serve some excellent food. Different dishes originating from Pakistan and Afghanistan. The chapli kebab and Afghani pilau rice was wonderful. The lamb karahi was also excellent.

So we ordered the house burgers, not a problem with them, except the brioche buns were soaked and dissolved by the time we got them delivered. Fries are amazing. I ordered a house salad which was very very disappointing. £6 for soggy limp iceberg lettuce a few bits of tomato and 1 Limp soggy bit of spinach and it had holes in where the slugs had been eating, lots and lots of red onion. Now for £6 I expect something fresher and more appetizing. NEVER order the house salad, total rip off

Great food and very friendly owner and staff... I highly recommend this place if you are in Crawley...

Good service and reasonable pricing. Needs some cleanliness in and around the washroom that was being renovated at the time we were there.

The waiter was super friendly and they clearly love what they do. They make their own burger sauce which is actually unreal

Food very tasty although the cafe could do with an upgrade. Staff were very friendly although the food wasn’t very quick in being served.

Food was decent when it finally arrived.Place was empty but we waited 40 mins for meal.Disgraceful mess in restaurant,paint tray ,paint pot and paint left on floor.Radiator was badly covered up with old plastic bag.Door to ladies toilets was filthy,black finger marks covered area around a foot round the door handle.Other doors same.Old dirty paintwork all round.

We absolutely love going to eat here; it is hands-down my favourite place to go to in Crawley centre. The owners (husband and wife team) are very friendly and make suggestions if you want them. They make everything themselves and we have never had a bad meal. Last time we went we ate a lamb burger with lots of onions and melting cheese, chips and gravy with butter-soft shredded lamb on top, chicken soup with lots of tomato and spices and the best babaganoush I have had, and I've ordered it everywhere! They smoke the aubergine to perfection to make it. The food is so good that we forgot to take a photo for the review until we'd nearly finished it. My last thing is that the quality of the meat is very good here: don't be put off by the fact that they cook it until fairly pink. Or if you really don't like that, make sure you say when you order.

Portions were very generous, service was prompt and friendly, drinks were delicious, and we love the name!

Only in Crawley for the night, so figured we'd try something new. Found fatboys on trip advisor and so pleased we did! We had the chicken namak and dum Pokht and the biggest tastiest naan bread I've ever seen!

My husband and I were staying close to this restaurant and had never tried Afghan food before but we were excited to. We were not disappointed! Not only was every single thing out in front of us delicious but Ruby was kind and personal but not invasive. We will definitely eat here again when we’re back in London.

Late lunch choice. Tasty homecooked style grub, the Karahi signature curry was really excellent and moorish. The naan was good and a definite talking point. pleasant staff and owner came out to chat. Simple place, good find.

Went here after the gym, I'm now a regular. The food is very nice. The burgers, the pilau, the biryani...you have to try everything

So coming back here after about 3 years and its gone rather downhill in my opinion.

Kadai Chicken with Latka Naan is a must try.. You may also choose from Nihari, Haleem & Saag if you want to try. Lastly Afghani achar/picket is a must along with any dish you plan to have.. Enjoy

My wife, myself and a friend went to Fatboys a few weeks ago after a long day of dancing at the nearby Horsham Festival, and as usual the food was incredible. It's such a rare thing nowadays to actually have food cooked for you from scratch - not just reheated. Well worth the wait. This was our 4th visit and the food is consistently amazing (especially the Namak Mandi Karahi). We are just about to order our first take out from Fatboys (birthday treat)... can't wait!

Our 2nd visit - had the burger and have to say it was amazing . We drive 1 hour to dine here and it is well worth it. Family run restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Kids meal was a very generous portion size.

100% best burger in town! Cooked to perfection and the flavour is great too. Really friendly and helpful staff!

I will definitely be back. Not only is the food delicious and freshly prepared, but the staff have to be the most helpful and friendly that I’ve come across. You gotta eat here.

I don't usually write reviews but this place deserves an award for how generous and how caring their staff are. My friend and I had just landed at Gatwick after our trip & needed somewhere closeby to eat that would be open late.

We were staying in the area and searched online for a good restaurant that serves vegan and vegetarian meals.

We were staying nearby so thought we'd check this place out.

Had a flying visit after spending the last couple of hours at the soft play date with the kids. Food was great. Kids were happy and ate quietly throughout the meal. Had the Fatboys' burger for the first time after seeing the as on facebook, amazing! I'm addicted to burgers now, except mine doesn't taste as nice; must be their unique burger sauce. The ambience in the small restaurant was nice. I always plan to eat elsewhere when I visit Crawley but Fatboy's Joint always wins!

Visited Fatboy's again with family and friends. Food was fantastic. Ordered the MM&S; burger. Definitely not just any burger. It was a melt in the mouth burger, nothing like I've tasted before! The owner (Asghar) and manager were very accomodating regarding the children's meal and had the chef make it so they'd eat it. No complaints. The veggie options were good too according to my friend. I'd definitely visit again.

I ordered a butter chicken, rice and a garlic nan. Well the whole meal was a total insult to Indian cuisine. The so called nan was like pizza bread. The butter chicken was actually unidentifiable swimming in oil and looked the something you would find in a baby’s nappy. The rice was fluffy at least. I ordered this through Deliveroo the food came in normal take away containers then wrapped in foil so it was hot when it arrived. I would not order from here again nor would I recommend this place

There is something decidely dodgy with all the great reviews this place has. There was one other family in the restaurant and it took over 30 minutes to get 2 burgers. I have to say they were the most disgusting tasteless burgers I have ever eaten. Greasy fries which looked like and tasted like they had been reheated. The host was great but the food was an absolute disaster. If the place was as popular as trip advisor assumes why was it so empty? Lesson learnt.

Came here after seeing the reviews and because we were in the area for a flight, it was lovely, good food, reasonable prices and was friendly. The tandoori grill and butter chicken were spot on, fluffy riice and a lovely garlic nan plus a drink for 25 quid for two. Would highly recommend

Went for a work trip. Drinks order wrong, starters not bad, but main courses weren't brought out all at once. There was about 15 mins between 2 people getting their mains and the other 5 of us. We were the only people in the restaurant and had told them our order ahead of time. My food was very greasy and the chips were stone cold. When I went to pick one up with my fork a big blob of oil splattered onto my phone which was next to my plate! Gross! Would not recommend this restaurant

Staying nearby before flying the next day. Wanted something different not the big standard Harvester. This was so good. Easy parking. Nothing fancy but the food is proper home cooking. Wonderful man helped us choose . Really authentic food. Delicious flavours.

Nice to finally have a good, authentic Afghani/Pakistani restaurant in Sussex. Lovely, fresh, home cooked food with a nice mix of dishes available served by warm, friendly staff.

I went for lunch with my partner and had freshly cooked food made to order. I wish I could combine the spices and flavours like this! This is my current favourite.

Definitely would recommend trying this place out; food is tasty and authentic, staff is friendly and good portion size!

This was such a nice change from the usual chain resturants you seem to get all over the centre of Crawley. The owner was so friendly and went through the menu describing all of the items, I ordered the kabuli palau; lamb on the bone with steamed rice, carrots and raisins, with a garlic naan. The naan bread was made with sourdough which gave it an extra flavour and the dips that came with it were perfect (mint raita and red chilli sauce). It was so good I tried to finish it all but I couldn't, the portions here are very big so you better come hungry!

Thought I would try this out as a Trip Advisor recommended restaurant. The place is a street kitchen and the seating is rustic. Took me a while to figure out the menu as it was all new, so we went for the sharing meal for 2. Several plates arrived each with a delicious taste and flavour. Loved some more than others, but certainly loved the lamb birinani. Far too much food for a couple though and also puts the cost up. Next time i would order specific things that I know i prefer. A cold beer would be nice, but not sold here. you can survive on a pitcher of water and can of non alcoholic beverage. The naan breads were the biggest I had ever seen. Nice to try and after some experimenting to find the favourites would be most enjoyable to return to.

I really would like to thank the staff for their welcoming and for the very nice food. I really advise people to try it and they will love it.

This restaurant blew me away with some of the best food I have ever eaten in the Crawley area.

Don't be put off by this restaurants positioning in Crawley. Came here with a group of friends and once by myself. Very friendly staff, real interaction with them and a very homely feel to the place. I had a great lamb curry and my friends liked their food, Fatboys deserves more customers for sure.The presentation of the menus and some posters they have were the only downsides.

We met a lovely lady who I think owns the place. I won't her as my sisters. So so welcoming. The food was great. Large portion and so tasty. Simple and tasty food at a great price. If I am ever back in the area I will definitely go back.

Reading some of the reviews below, I cant believe that I went to the same restaurant...

I have visited Fatboys on a number of occasions and have never provided the review, but on my last trip I really enjoyed the experience and suggest to others looking for great food, why leave town when you have Fatboys.

Working in Crawley for two days, read the reviews here and really wanted to try this - a new cuisine to us. What a welcome, what flavours, those only possible through slow, patient cooking with real care and passion. The ginger through the rice with the slow steamed lamb, the depth of flavour in the Chicken Karahi, I could go on - we can't wait for next year when we hopefully return to Crawley!!

We arrived late on night - just driving through. Needed to get some dinner, but not sure about a place called Fatboy's. We were pretty much alone in the restaurant. Ended up getting one of their shared menus for three - what a treat. Loads of food, great flavors, lovely, friendly service.

Went in with my family we love the food great service its not hot and spicy its just right always something for the kids. Mine love the kabali pilau and chicken tikka with soft naan. So go in try the food its great.

My first time there and I don't usually bother with reviews but I was so impressed by the friendly staff and the good quality of the food that I felt compelled too give them the praise they deserve. I will definitely go back and would recommend to all.

Had the sharing menu for 2 with the misses. Hands down the best meal we have had out in Crawley. My kids ordered burgers and both were raving about them. Staff were extremely freindly and explained all the dishes. Even gave a little history lesson on the Kabuli Pilow. Can not wait to visit again. If you like authentic food and burgers this is the place for you.

We popped in for lunch after being intrigued by the possibility of trying some Afghan food for the first time, we asked for “as traditionally afghan as possible”, we were advised on a sharing option. Absolutely incredible! The food was brilliant and the guy serving was a lovely bloke. Top notch!

Arrived at Gatwick airport at 9pm and gave fat boys joint a call as they closed at 10pm. I was wanting a burger and was recommended the American. It was ready by the time I arrived. Amazing burger, amazing fries and an even better service! Will surely be back!

Been here a couple of times as well as had delivery and it has been amazing every time. Highly recommended for both the burgers and the traditional food. Coupled with the friendly staff and good atmosphere it is an all round great exerience.

Great dinner. Our host explained all the food and it was wonderful. You will not go home hungry. Will go every time I am in Crowley

I am from India and i have tasted a lot of middle eastern and Indian food.The first i would mention is that the cuisine is authentic.The food was fabulous.I would recommend to taste their Haleem. its one of the most tedious dishes to cook and usually takes 12 to 14 hours to prepare and believe me i had had it in many places in India and so far this was the best haleem i had ever had as it was made to perfection.kebaabs are very good and the biriyani was awesome both quality and quantity.The burgers too were very authentic and tasted home made.

Ordered the 2 person meal. Bring 4 people cuz there was so much food. If you have not had authentic middle eastern food, this is where to find it. Flavorful and well presented. Great host and friendly staff.

Amazing service and great food plus a lovely atmosphere. A kind lady that served us was very helpful in choosing what food to order. Very knowledgeable regarding the menu. Thank you for taking care of us. Would recommend.

Had lamb burger, chips and hummus and naan. I asked about the hummus because it was so nice, it was their home made recipe. I'll definitely return, for the home made chips and hummus.

Chips were extremely stale and my family hated it...We told the joint and they said it's fresh and asked how can we say that. If you would even touch the chips your fingers would be covered in oil.The burgers were rotten and not edible. All money wasted as we had to throw it away. Funny and hilarious part was that the guy on the phone said that if we had a problem with food then we should talk to delivroo people who delivered and not Fat Boys.....Haha fat boys with fat brains.

Highly recommended - we read good things and very glad that we gave it a try! Interesting choice of authentic Afghan dishes which were simply delicious and beautifully favoured. The karahi curry was divine and the kebabs really tasty. A selection of piquant sauces provided added spice to complete an excellent meal. Good value too!! Thank you - we will return.

Very beautiful food. Components to the chef. The food was brilliant . Travelling from South London 30 miles to eat there was worth it. Chicken karahi was bangers.

Amazing taste and quality of Kebabs, lamb, chicken, rice or Nans. Had a great experience and treat for the taste buds ;). I love good quality food and can recommend it to anyone living or visiting Crawley.

I go there frequently , what most attract me to go there is the friendly staff and delicious food. The kabli polau and lamb karahi is fantastic. I really recommend this place.

I booked it for my birthday lunch one week in advance, when we got there it was closed. I was never warned about this. We had lunch in another restaurant.

Les plats sont copieux et goûteux. Le personnel est sympathique, le service est rapide. Bon rapport qualité prix.

Stumbled upon this place before catching a flight from Gatwick and I’ll tell you something, it was spot on! We ordered a couple of burgers with fries and it tasted really good! Good recommendations made from the guys working there and would deffo go back. Shame it’s so far away as I would most certainly eat there more often if I could. Would deffo recommend!

I went here for lunch with a friend. I saw the many good reviews and thought it would be ok here. To be fair the food was good. But the service was shocking. It took nearly an hour to deliver 2 dishes and the place was empty. The dish I received was not what I ordered and sent it back but there was no time to re-order as our lunch break was over, so I ate nothing. Went to pay the bill and was told it costs £53 for the one dish we did have (which was £9) plus 2 diet cokes. So I questioned it but he was adamant. I then grabbed a menu and pointed to what we had and told him how much I would pay. So I paid the bill and left.

Called in just by chance when in Crawley on the way to the airport. The burger and chips was bang on and I would highly recommend it.

I was dropping my sister off to Gatwick and checked places to eat nearby on TripAdvisor. I’ve not had Afghan food before and this place seemed fairly authentic from the reviews so I took a chance on it. I parked near a church on the same road and walked straight down for about a minute. First impressions, it’s a bit hard to distinguish from the neighbouring businesses but I found it in the end. My kids are quite fussy eaters and don’t do spice so the waiter suggested chicken tikka and chips from the kids meal section. Good job is he served it first so I could settle them first and they could eat bitesize pieces of chicken themselves. The menu had some items on that I haven’t tried before but I like biryani normally so had the chicken dum biryani. I thought there would be a biryani sauce option but there wasn’t, however I didn’t need it in the end however I was offered red and yogurt sauces at the table without asking. I can recommend it because it was delicious, but the serving was huge and I couldn’t finish it. If I’m next at Gatwick I wouldn’t mind coming back to try some other items as it’s child friendly and clean.

Brought our group to London on our way to hajj and these guys catered , food was excellent . Everyone enjoyed it . Good job bro ! Keep it up

I’ve had burgers from here before, but today I came in for the curry which I’ve seen served here on my previous visit. I don’t regret it! It’s not a curry that I’m used to, maybe that’s why it’s called Karahi, I got chicken option and it was really good with just the right amount of spice for me. I ordered white rice to go with it because I didn’t fancy naan, it was good and they served me a mint sauce and chilli sauce to go with it. Free cucumber salad as well, nice touch to cool down. The drinks list was quite varied but I opted for Mango Shomle which turned out to be mango lassi.

I visited with my friend and thoroughly enjoyed. I had the mixed grill for 1 with garlic naan. I was pleased with dish as it had a lamb skewer, chicken tikka pieces and lamb chop. It was served with complimentary salad and sauces which was nice too. I tried the salted caramel mango milkshake which was very also nice, although the fresh lemonde my friend had would have been the better option in this heat. My friend ordered the house burger and chips, I had a few chips and will go back and try the burgers next time.

Having visited I was really disappointed in the quality of food . It’s not the same when it 1st opened and now I would not recommend the restaurant.

Opciones vegetarianas (hamburgesas, no solo patatas fritas)

food was terrible, we couldn't finish it but the owner basically forced us to take it to go so it didnt get 'wasted' despite us politely expressing we didn't want to several times. Make better food and we most certainly would have!!

Went at about 9.45 as a tired family after a long drive to Gatwick.

All the dishes we got were great, and there is nothing to complain about when it comes to the service! It seems that this is the real deal when it comes to Afghan cousin. Definitely a place to visit when in town!

Popped In for a quick lunch. Great food, good & quick service. Waiter & chef was a very friendly guy, with good recommendations Would definitely return.
