Kabul darbar Lady Pool road in Birmingham

One of the best best place for charsi karahi

The food is always constantly good. A local place, usually always busy

Food is definitely good however they can certainly have a bigger sitting arrangement for families as it’s a bit cramped. Food in general is decent.

Best chapli kebabs I've had recently refurbished and looks good 👍

Was ok but one meat we got was not nice at all think it was charsi something.... qabli pilau was good ....

One of the best Afghani and Pakistani food in all over UK . You need to must try once.

Not a pleasant or clean food experience . Service was ok they brought things in time. But we were there at a quiet time

One of the best food in Birmingham and excellent service excellent environment and excellent staff of Kabul darbar lady pool road.

Very good and fast service very good food worth to be coming back and recommended for families

First time here and I was impressed. The afgan naan was mahoosive 👀 and the Chapli kebabs the size of dinner plates 🫣 We ordered 3 but only managed 2 between 3 of us and took 1 kebab and 1/2 naan home with us🤗. Kebbs were full of mirch massla 🥵. Loved the red chilli sauce 😋. Price was very reasonable 👍🏼 Will definitely go back when next in ladypool rd.

The food quality has gone down. Ordered chicken karahi and chapli kebab. Both were bland and tasteless. It's a shame as used to be one of the better places on lady pool road.

Lamb karahi banging good nicely done spice was spot on roti bread barbecue lamb chops very good barbecue chicken wing can't fault it nice

Good place for Afghan karahi-like food. I mostly go for their Chapli Kebab combo which has 3 giant Chapli kebabs and an Afghani Naan for £14. The kebab serving is generous and one kebab is typically enough for one Adult (with a reasonable appetite 😉)

The kabab was so dirty 2 times I found the hair inside the food

Perfect environment. Seperate place for families and food is outclass specialy chapli kebab and charsi mutton karahi

Good service good food good price.

Food wasn’t good at all & and service was very poor too. I would never go there again

This place is a hidden gem, and I can't gate keep this place as they deserve to be known for the incredible food they serve, especially all the charsi dishes. Definitely recommended this place highly. Fresh grilled halal meat and curries! Can be a little bit pricey but definitely still worth it for the time being. So enjoy some of the best food in brum, in my opinion.

The best and most authentic peshawari chappal kebabs. They are soft, juicy and so so delicious and the huge duvet sized naan is absolutely divine. The taste is out of this world and it's so value for money!

Excellent service and good food simple decor but you don't go for the paint you go for the plate.

Hi I order from here I spent 60£ as they guy said their was no hair in the Kabab and it was a onion but it look like hair I been sick for two days now would like refund

Horrible place naan was rock hard Chapli kebab had no taste oil was dripping from the kebebs tables were dirty never coming back here

Really authentic taste. Value for money. Decent portion sizes.

We tried this restaurant after trying out Karawan in London few days back. There is big difference between the taste of Karahi (meat/chicken) in two restaurants. I prefer the taste and meat quality of later one. The chapli kebabs and afghan tikka are quite good here in terms of quality. Afghani hanging roti is also very good. Even though the restaurant was full they make space for us and that is why i gave 5 star on service. We ordered karahi, chapli kebabs, Afghan tikka, Kaubil pilau and lasi.

Brilliant service. Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend. Service was amazing.

It was a wonderful day out. We had a lovely dinner in here. Seating facility is okay, not a big place. Overall food was excellent and delicious. We order couple of items like chicken kebab, lamb chops, mutton krrahi and chicken karrahi, raita, salad and big hanging naan was making table beautiful. In a taste kabab was on average, looks dried & doesn't looks fresh. Lamb chops was good in taste, but small in size. If you are chops lover you order large meal. Mutton & chicken Charsi karrahi booth were delicious. Its difficult to say wich one number one. Chicken Charsi karrahi I would say you may not found anywhere else like that rather I do not have anywhere else sofar. Oh, I almost forgot the Kabli polao. It was top of everything. Mutton was very well tendered, Rice were well cooked, carrots and raisins are making them delicious. Economically its quiet expensive. We pay almost £120 for 7 people. All the best

Nice food tikka was nice. They changed their hot suace. Karahi was also nice

Highly recommend the chapli kebab, £14 and you get 3 big flavourful chapli kebabs with a huge double naan served on a rack. Easily enough for 2 - 3 people, depending on appetite.

The Chappli kebabs with the huge peshawari naan is to die for! The meat is always tender and the portions are massive. Amazing value for 3 Kebabs and naan at £14! great food!

Just wasting of time and money here

Best chapli kebab i have ever had

"KabUL Darbar in Birmingham is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was bursting with flavor and authenticity, from the starters to the main courses. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed dining experience. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. I highly recommend Qabli Darbar to anyone looking for an incredible meal paired with outstanding service. Can't wait to visit again!"

Best customer service and friendly staff. Food is superb and delicious. Their Chapli Kabab are best in town. Highly recommended

We ordered the charsi chicken and kabuli pilao, fries and peshawr naan. The curry was ok not too bad the kabuli pilau was nice the rice was cooked perfectly but the meat had a very strong smell to it, I did not eat the meat pieces there was 2 pieces in it personally thought it was quite expensive for £10 for 1 person portion. The peshwari naan was lovely.

Visited Kabul far bar on lady pole road Birmingham very delicious food and I spoke to the owner, very friendly guy Masha Allah. Keep up the hard work.

First time here and the food was amazing, a hidden gem on this road

Very nice food and staff was very friendly

Fantastic service very friendly and tasty fresh food. Lovely environment for family as well. Will defo go again nd again. Thank you

worst customer service service. bad quality food tasteless. very salty. taseless charsi karahi. never gonna visit .

Good food, service has improved

Ok with this place it cost me for vegetable dish £10 which I found to be expensive. Over price for there food.

Terrible and tasteless food. I ordered a takeaway Qabuli Pilau for £14 that barely had any meat—just rice and an old, smelly bone with a bit of tough, sticky meat on it. This was supposed to be a portion for two people, but it was far from that and went straight into the bin. The only redeeming factor was the fresh naan bread, but even that couldn’t justify the £22 bill for such poor quality. Absolutely disgusting. Definitely not recommended!

I loved their Charsi Lamb Karahi absolutely amazing proper authentic taste 👌🏼 💯 recommendation i always order the same menu and every time it gives the first time feeling. My fav Restaurant at ladypool Road

Waste of time and money! Not recommended at all! We ordered Afghani lamb Tikka and Kabuli Palu - both were very poor in taste. They just use the name of Afghan food to attract customers, but in fact it is absolutely a Pakistani restaurant and food. Afghan foods are much more delicious, everyone knows.

One of the best Chapli kebab in UK

Much better than butt Karahi. Kabli pilau was really nice.

Mix grill and kabuli rice was decent. Fries very nice! Kheer was top notch!! Sauces are lovely!

Loved the food Best chops so far I had in England

Excellent place for Chappli Kebab and Afghani pulao. For chicken Karahi they have their own typical taste. Good service. You can pay by card.

Amazing food amazing service!! The best place to eat in Birmingham. The service was extremely fast and so friendly. We went in and immediately got cold water and they were so fast to take our menu and give suggestions! The naan is the best naan ive ever had and i dont like lamb chop but these chops were unreal. When we were initially walking past the place we saw alot of men sitting, we went in and saw they had a big seating place in the back thats a little separated from the main seating. Really really recommend it to any family groups or women!

Best food ever great service,taste to die for,only issue is parking

Very good food. Searing is not the best but I don't mind as long as food is good.

It's Afghani restaurant with delicious food.

Amazing food very nice and excellent service

This is the best asian food store in Birmingham. Get the mixed starter!

Amazing chappal kebabs and naan here. Service is a bit slow but the food was delicious and overall I would return.

Never ever in my life will go back here to eat disgussting food horrible staff😡

SCAMMERS DO NOT GO THERE!!! Plate of rice no meat £8 Chickpeas sause no meat £8 Spinach sause no meat £8 Another plate of rice no meat £8 The food was so bad, and so salty!! What is that?? Is this real??

This place is the real deal. I had the lamb Karahi, and a lamb tikka kebab, and both were absolutely incredible. The service was fast and friendly as well. Mind the smoke from the grille, though! If back in Birmingham, I will definitely go back. Definitely one of the better things o have eaten in England.

Deceitful. Food standard dropped.

Great quality and variety of authentic Afghan food, good customer service and friendly staff. A bit congested with limited seating especially for families. Overall highly recommended!

Never in my life have I had a meal that has tasted this bad. Each individual tastebud in my tongue still cringes when recalling the taste of that foul meal. They somehow managed to mess up Afghan food putting shame on my countries name. They microwave all of their food, none of it is fresh. They cook it all the night before and warm it up whenever somebody orders it. How does one even manage to not cook rice?

Brilliant service Excellent food. Cannot ask for more. Well worth a try.

Fantastic fresh cooked food… really if you want Afghani style grill, karahi, Naan, chutneys, pilau… then this is the place… Alhumdolillah…& great value too… luved it … God bless these guys… Green tea is exceptional too.

It is not Afghan food at all. Some Pakistani guys open the restaurant and doing business under Afghan food’s name. I personally went there and the guys even couldn’t speak Dari. I had horrible experience. The afghani kebab was rabish. Such a shame misusing other names😡

Good experience food was fresh and tasty

Best Pak-Afghan Food in the Midlands. Authentic taste, good range, decent prices, no complaints

Delicious food with good service yet very congested place with only a single high chair for toddlers.

I CAME HERE ON 29TH MARCH 2024 WITH FAMILY TO OPEN FAST BEEN HERE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE FOOD NEVER LETS US DOWN SERVICE WAS SLOW AS ALWAYS THOUGH VERY FULL

Afghan spicy cuisine is a culinary adventure filled with bold flavors and aromatic spices. From savory kebabs to fragrant rice pilaf, each dish showcases the rich culinary heritage of Afghanistan. With fiery chili peppers and fragrant herbs, Afghan spicy food promises a taste experience that's both vibrant and unforgettable.

Very greasy food and quality is lacking. Not bad but by no means the greatest either.

The whole atmosphere was very good.They served fresh and good quality food.

Absolutely waste of time and money, customer service 0, I have never seen a restaurant serving rice but no spoon, no fork no knife, no tissue, this is the first restaurant serving curries without nan bread, you have to pay for nan separately, I had to go to reception asking for spoon, wouldn’t recommend it at all, just to remember it’s not Afghani restaurant it’s pakistani restaurant disgracing Afghani restaurants, all other Kabul restaurants I have been to been spot on. I can give absolutely zero star for this Kabul darbar restaurants. Spoiled our family weekend.

amazing food would recommend !!!!

Amazing food and best chappli kebabs in the whole of the UK, delicious and highly recommended , also customer service is immaculate, very friendly

Been here a few times as i love afghani food and kabli pilao is my favourite. Ive tried afghan food in other places and here its below average. Also if i have 1 portion of pilao i get 1 piece of meat, if i order a double portion i still get the same 1 piece of meat with more rice. I was disappointed with the lack of meat on larger portions. The currys were also poor and lacking. Also they need to sort the smell situation, your clothes need a good wash afterwards. Dont think il be going back anymore

Superb kabuli pulao 😋 fantastic chops

I live in Leicester but I specially come to eat at kabuli darbar, if you want Pakistani taste in abroad this is place for paisaaa wasool

Amazing food and great place to eat with family.

Good place for pure Pashtun authentic cuisine and it's not only for Afghanistan food its Pakistan North West Pashtun food Very Very good quality and friendly staff

I have seen their food videos on TikTok and food were looks nice I had one guest came from London so I thought let's give a try and I went their ordered some starters and half kg lamb karhai the guy who took our order I clearly said him what we need and how much in the quantity and spicy even I have orderd in the guy native language Pashto so no chance of miscommunication so once the food arrived was not spicy at all as we ordered and we need to resend again to make it spicy wasted time and finally once we finished eating the bill was given to me was so high for what we ordered I ask the guy on payment counter why the bill so high the guy told me you had 1kg lamb karhai I have told him I never orderd 1kg but he insist me to pay for that I asked for the guy who took my order so we can confirm but he was disappeared and he doesn't know where he went so I didn't any argument with him as I had guest with me so I Paid him and decided not to go again. Rubbish customer services, No Team work and coordination Food was not Nice as well. Advice for owner should look in this matter staff is not serious to build your business.

I have had Afghani food in london and loved it to bits. So based on high reviews decided to give this place a go. Here is my genuine experience as below: Greasy floor (to the point that i was about to slip) Environment (i was genuinely struggling for breath as the smell of used oil was everywhere) Food (well lets say burned skewers and almost 3 pieces of meat on each. Absolute joke!!! The rice was literally marinated in oil, wierd !!!) Price (mediocre as did not break the bank) My recommendation ( this is not Afghani food at all so try somewhere better in terms of food quality and more hyegenic) To the reviewers: Please be honest in writing reviews as other people like I, are depending on your honesty.

Avoid like the plague. Don't be fooled by the fake reviews. The kebabs are burnt and there's hardly anything on each skewer. The rice is left over from previous days. The floor is oily and slippery and one of our party slipped and fell on the ground. The whole place is drowned in oil fumes and I believe the positive reviews are completely falsified!

Food was freshly prepared nice and tasty 😋 will go again and recommend it

Only take cash Bad for business Food was OK but not the best

Not clean place.. service not good

I love the food and staff, i go there twice a month and always get good good

Decent food. A little oily. Decent service.

The waiter took our order gave wrong bill and pretended I told him other curry which was £5 expensive. The manager or whoever was it sorted it out but gave me attitude that I was lying .. They definitely need to train their staff first and sort their attitude out.

Authentic Afghani fayre. Service can be. Bit haphazard but tolerable. Fair prices and a good selection available. Family seating available. Cold in cooler and winder months. Wear thermals! Cash-only. A free caspoint is within 30 meters at the ever-fantastic AlBadr middle-eastern restaurant...

Food was amazing, service was great as well

Not authentic Afghani food. Greasy Chappli kebabs and raw chicken tikka. Had food poisoning the next day.

Someone leaves you honest review, and you guys bully them to take the review off. This is not the way to do business. Plus you should respond to that video in good manner. Then people would have respect you least you doing something about it by bullying and putting pressure on him to take the video off makes things worse. …

No taste, no service. Chapli kabab full of grease

Can't handle a true review . threatening people to remove negative review ..

To be honest we when there with family food take over 40 min to come Nan was cold Rice cold Burger 🍔 was nasty 🤮 I never ever go back there again Wast of your money Wast of your time if u go this restaurant 🤮

Food was good but make sure you check the Bill. They slapped on extra stuff we didn't get.

Top service food was very taste first vist with family will recommend to family and friends. Staff was really helpful

Good service but the food is a hell no to the no no no.

The worst food I ever purchased first on the website the family deal was £85 when I went into the restaurant they charged me £95 honestly the food didn’t worth as much all the food was burned and cold also tested disgusting 🤮 .😡😡😡
