Khan's Restaurant & Grill (Southampton) in Southampton

Food sometimes tasty, terrible service. The meats were lovely. Salad seemed sad. Bread was okay but not great. Options for sharing platters is very limited. We were not greeted at the door by any wait staff. When I asked about our booking (we had accessibility requirements), we were ignored and had to seat ourselves. Our party of 4 sat at a 4 person table, before the wait staff almost immediately asked us to relocate to a table for 6 - despite us having clearly visible mobility issues (a person on crutches). You want tap water for the table? Forget it. Additionally, two of the paid drinks we ordered simply didn't show up and we never received an explanation why. Trying to pay for the bill, it was very difficult to hail any of the staff using eye contact. I don't think I've ever been in a restaurant where a guest clearly straining themselves to look in your direction (and not at their food) isn't a sign that your guest would like something. Two servers made eye contact and stared back for several seconds, and both ignored me. I had to stand up and walk over to (the manager? stood by) a till. Overall I was disappointed with the experience.

Not a great experience... food was bland, the lamb to rice ratio for the qabuli pulao wasn't great, meat was dry, there was 1 medium piece of lamb with so much rice and the rice lacked flavour. The chapli kebab had too many tomatoes and the curry was overpowering with tomatoes. Service was better than the food. Atmosphere wasn't good as we were sitting next to a large group of people who were obnoxiously loud and had zero courtesy.

The food is great and worth to recommend for others

Food was under cooked and portion is not real they say half but it was quarter and food quality is not good tasteless

Good food and customer service at very reasonable prices. Recommended

Excellent food and service. Everything is homemade with a wide variety of options.

Really really tasty, I love it. We went as a group and ordered the big platter with everything, absolutely fantastic! The lamb was soft and tender, chicken juicy and tasty plus the fish was stunning. The front of house staff are delightful and bend over backwards to ensure a good time is had by all.

Food 8/10 Speed 11/10 Integrity 1/10

Very delicious! Give 5 stars! Delicious! So delicious!

Attended for a Mehndi function at the weekend. Absolutely fantastic food, but you also have the most lovely staff - polite & helpful! Thank you for making such a wonderful evening even more special. Highly recommend Khans if you’re ever in the area!

They have good food , i spent my all money in there😂😂

Honestly speaking, It is one of the best if not the best in Southampton. Great taste, amazing service and clean. We are an Arabic small family just had a delicious lunch there, and we all impressed by the food and service. Thank you khan restaurant, and wish you more and more of the success.

The best Quality and delicious food I like teka kebab

Great food amazing environment and very hospitable.

Best kebabs and curry in Southampton

The staff service was extremely poor as one of the staffs through that she is serving the food in free of cost and behaved not well according to our all time visit.

Overall, it was nice everything although the staff service is so poor.

Amazing food, great customer service.

Very delicious, affordable, large in quantity, cheap and in line with Chinese tastes

Hello guys, I am an Uber driver✊ I came to Southampton once again today again here we go! and dropped my customer at the Norwegian cruise lane a gigantic ship, so went to Khan’s Rasturant and I ordered soup, suddenly smelled the barbecue, the smell was amazing, also the Dal soup was amazing and delicious too, I recommend it to you guys, if you come to Southampton you should try this, the atmosphere here is lovely and the fresh bread was made on spot it smelled crazy attractive. Great time and I enjoyed it so I recommend this Rasturant for you all. It was my first time here! When I come next time to Southampton, I am going to be not missing this tasty soup again , “I just wanted to say how amazing the soup was! Every spoonful was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. It was the perfect comfort meal, and I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. Thank you for such a wonderful dish!”

Great food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere for families to enjoy

Surprisingly, very good Chappel kebabs and Kabuli pilau, served with a starter soup and finished off with kawa 👍

Always willing to serve as best as they can and food is always fresh and tasty

We had dinner tonight.. Food was delicious.. Specially the Chapli kebab.. Though my husband liked the lamb chops as well.. Their staff was friendly but we didn't like their service at all.. Cause when your left over foods that you want for takeway food.. You have to do that by your own.. That thing we didn't like..

The food was tasty and economical. Service were also very good and the atmosphere was also very nice, would definitely recommend them.

It's ok. Karhai is not the best. Chapli kabab & grill tastes good.

I liked this restaurant. Afgan food was amazing. Kind staff. Bill was very good.

Eat a lot and be full! The roasted meat is so fragrant! ! ! The rice is so delicious, my god. I will buy it again and again. I come here when I want to eat meat hahaha. The desserts are also delicious. I like the white one that looks like rice pudding the most!

Wow . Excellent service food amazing and atmosphere was very nice. İ recommend to all of u

Worst experience. Charsi karahi wasn't cooked well. Roti was absolutely disgusting wasted £40

Best 👌 👍 halal food in Southampton it deserved 5 stars 🌟 Masha2 allah

Food need come early cuz manz hungry innnnnit. Also they need to have good Wi-Fi cuz manz bored innnnnnit when I'm waiting for the food innnnnit and gimme free food innnnnit cuz manz broke innnnnnit

10/10 food. Ruined my diet for this restaurant.

I visited expecting authentic Pakistani cuisine as advertised, but it turns out this is actually an Afghan restaurant, and unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. The naan was so hard it was practically inedible, and the chicken Karahi was overwhelmed with large chunks of ginger and tasteless and bland , making it very unpleasant to eat. To make matters worse, what was supposed to be tarka dal looked nothing like tarka dal but boiler lentils. I want to caution anyone who might be drawn in by the promise of good Pakistani food – this was hands down the worst dining experience we’ve had

Great food, quick service and very affordable prices. Parking a bit of an issue. Overall, great for casual meal and family friendly.

Went for a meal order was taken promptly. We ordered Charsi karahi, lamb chops, Tika kebab, chapli kebab. They were served with bread and.rice. Lentil soup and.salad was complimentary. The food came in reasonable time was hot, and the taste was original. The karahi and chapli kebab stood out and had the original taste. The.prices were reasonable and.the service was friendly. Thank you for serving such amazing and authentic food, I'd highly recommend this place.

The barbecue and naans were fantastic! Staff were really friendly, the kabuli pilau was a little too sweet

My fav restaurant in soton. Recommend it to every Chinese friend 😂

And chapli kebab is oh my good 🤢

Old and dirty terkari, raw mento, tasteless chapeli kebab, hard 👎🏻

The family is so delicious! The lamb chops and chicken are both delicious! And it’s very, very tender. The most important thing is that it’s such a cheap meal! Come and eat! Recommended, it has become a canteen haha.

Seemed OK at the start however customer service skills were lacking. We went for my 30th but it was not worth the hype. The complimentary dhaal (lentils) were the best thing about the whole meal. The chicken karahi was not at all a karahi, it was smothered with tomatoes. The rice was disgraceful, we've had afghan rice and its so delicious this was not. Chicken wings tasted nice on the outside but gooey in the inside.

Pretty good afghan restaurant. It’s quite clean, food quality is better than most halal restaurants. Food amount is okay, not that cheap but we have big stomach. Hopefully the ventilation could be improved

Delicious food, the kids loved the nuggets.

Nice food i loved it. Good prices. Free lintel soup and green salad.

Nice food good service and good price

Wow what a beautiful place to dine out, was very pleased with the food quality and level of service. Traditional Afghan food available here made to the highest standard. Me and my family were there from Birmingham on a short vacation and decided to dine here, thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended.

Great place to eat, very friendly owner

Amazing, attentive service; plus outstanding offers, portion sizes to suit the very hungry. The food looked great; was full of flavours which made us feel like we were being treated as royalty. Such an excellent experience, I would recommend a visit.

Food was delicious , good service, only things that bread was not soft enough

Very good food and a good environment. It’s my first time to eat Afghan food. It feels quite authentic.

"Wow, what an incredible dining experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. But the real star of the show was the food - absolutely divine! Each dish was expertly prepared, with flavors that popped and presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable considering the high quality of the cuisine. Standouts included the lamb Karahi which was cooked to perfection, and the Chapli Kabab which was creative and delicious. The kheer was the perfect sweet treat. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!" Best Regards Ahmad (Pekhawar)

Been to Khans too many times to count now! With different family and friends. Always enjoyed the food, atmosphere and overall service! Staff are always friendly. Chappli kebab is amazing, as you'd find in Pakistan. The karai and qabuli pulao and equally amazing too! Highly recommended! Also, for children who don't eat spice, the Mumtaz kebab is perfect!

We recently visited the resturant on 14/06. There should be zero stars to Select as well…The nan bread offered was hard as wood, requested for fresh one , the manager was quite rude and misbehaved by gestures!! Didnt not lik the service, they have waitress’s which dont listen and pay attention to you even if the resturant is not busy and you are one of the only customers sitting… overall food is good but service and managers attitude was really unpleasant! Dont recommend as the first option food, keep it 3rd or 4rth to be honest!

Khan Restaurant in Southampton exceeded all expectations with its exceptional cuisine. The flavors were exquisite, highlighting a perfect blend of spices that truly delighted the palate. Each dish was meticulously prepared, showcasing both skill and passion in every bite. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Khan Restaurant is definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and delicious Afghani food in Southampton. Highly recommended!

It tastes really good, the mutton is very fragrant, Xinjiang roast mutton is the best

Sitting is only good thing at this place. Food is below average. Service is really slow and bad. Won’t recommend anyone

Always go and visit here when we are in or near Southampton. I travel the country for work purposes, this is one or the best places we look forward to visiting. Stunning food.

Mansoor is very kind and accommodating. Highly recommended restaurant, generous in servings and delicious food. It brought us back in middle east 👌🏻😍🤩🤤

Owner was very kind and the taste was excellent i really love the food.

One of the best food experience in UK. Highly recommended. Chardonnay Karrahi and Mix grill was exceptional. Loved it 🙌❤️

Ordered my food from khan’s restaurant, Got my food what I excepted , the food was amazing, specially chapli kebab was exactly like you get in Peshawar. The tika, chicken,kofta kebabs and lam chops was cooked very delicious qabuli rice was testy. Highly recommend for dining or takeaway ❤️

Food was delicious and mouthwatering

The Chapli kebab and the grilled chicken I'd nice, freshly prepared alongside the naan. Don't get the breaded chicken tenders, just cheap frozen packet tenders. The naan was hard and cold. Service was a little laid back. Large restaurant

Good Afghani food but expensive

The food wasn’t very nice, charsi karahi had no real taste to it, the chapli kebab was mild, didn’t like the daal soup and the oreo milkshake didn’t taste like oreo, just tasted like milk. Customer service also wasn’t very good, not very helpful, even forgot to bring the milkshake. Wouldn’t come here again

Definitely a 5 star. The best Afghan restaurant in the UK. Their Qabuli has the original Afghan taste.

Food was good but expecting a bit larger portions

The worst service i ever had. One Indian lady served us and she behaved like we were there for free food.

Both chicken karahi and afghani boti are delicious. Very reasonable for such good food.

Love this restaurant, delicious food

Came here once last year and I loved the food. Went back a second time and was not impressed. Naan was rock hard, chicken was chewy, dry and over done, lamb chops were chewy and so so bland… I could go on.

The kebab was actually really dry the tika kebab was dry and cofta kebab was very oily and the bread was old.

Very pathetic..took 2 hours just to make chicken karahi.. Will never come back

Charsi Karahi. Oh my God, it was just tomato soup and boiled lamb. Had a terrible taste. Went there for iftar with family and got very disappointed. 👎 The only good thing was that the lentil soup was very nice.

The food was fresh and delicious We have ordered many dishes for the entire family. All of us were so delighted with taste and awesome service. I recommend to all. Many thanks for serving best food I will be seeing you Khans Grill soon.

Amazing food with various different things to chose. Spicy food and really tasty Asian food

Very good service, food, atmosphere. Mouth wetting food's

The food was amazingly delicious well prepared, will definitely go back there ☺️

Tasty food and affordable prize

The chicken was tasty, however, they gave us a very small amount of salad!! The bread was chewy, it was the first time time we went there and the last time

Was craving a good chicken karai, and despite the good recommendation came back dissapointed from Khans.. Very oily sauce and overall weak flavour! Will takeaway elsewhere next time sadly!

The best food and service ever exists

One of the best restaurants in the south, great service..!

Very dispappointed with the food. I came for a dinner with my family and the food served did not reflect what was advertised in the menu. The lamb shank was also not cooked properly and was hard. Portion of kebabs were burnt. Will not return again.

Awesome Chapli kebabs and mixed grill and well priced a good taste of afghani and Pakistani fusion in a very homely style of cooking. Although the pilau with the meat was on the expensive side would recommend the veggie version

Came from 50 miles away. The food wasn’t cooked at Al. Ordered lamb karhahi, the meat didn’t looked fresh. Looks that they cooked one week old meat. Didn’t happy with the service.

Food Was Good served by Gaganjot, Lot of food options. Only reason for giving 4 stars for service less interaction with customers. Overall Good Experience.

Halal meals at a reasonable price

Khan's Service is really friendly and not to mention how freakin good their karahi is! Best one in the local town! Such a great, friendly and helpful service, always worth the stop. We appreciate all the love you put into your food and atmosphere. Keep up the positive vibes.

The food is great and nice staff. However my clothes smelled like food after I spent 2 hours at the restaurant last time with my friends. I think they need to work on their ventilation.

Always the best service and taste

Very tasty food This food from Afghanan Afghaniche was always delicious but the particularly delicious

Authentic Afghani dishes within very reasonable prices. The charcoal grilled kebabs (particularly tika kebab), Qabuli palaw, and the karahi dishes (lamb) are simply amazing. Highly recommended if you are visiting Southampton.

Food arrived stone cold to the table - informed them of this and they just shrugged it off. We were not the only ones this happened to today, other people were also complaining. Icing on the cake was that they not only messed up the order but completely missed items order and didn’t seem to want to serve the missing items! They’ve become very arrogant and do not care so now will be giving this miss in the future.

I have been a regular customer of Khan’s restaurant for almost 2 years. Over the last 2-3 months I’ve noticed that they are providing low standard food. When I complained today then the manager flared up and annoyed and shouted loudly by ignoring of what I am complaining. I’ve finally paid the full bill thought I’ve just tasted the food. He didn’t even bother to ask for not charging.

I had been there for three times because it is one of desi food's restaurant but the food they served not hot or warm to eat. Also when we order something they always say it is not available.. The girl staff was not really welcoming I have seen new face in the month of December she had a really bad behaviour. Taste really well.

Customer service was absolutely awful. The food however was quite good! I just did not like how bad the staff treated us. They were rude, did not clear the table before putting things on (we had to ask) and even made us pack our own food to go. Just extraordinarily awful.

Food was tasteless, would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Chicken curry was over cooked and lamb was too fatty.

They started off great but true colors had to come out. Food gone up in price e.g Karahi now for £16 which started at £12 and everything else on menu, chappali kebab burned on the edges with the middle not properly cooked so left it there, Waitressses have got no clue in services e.g start debating when you request anything off of their crammed script, tell you that for an empty glass you have to buy another drink which you easily go and get it off the counter yourself, last 2 times Naan breads worth £2 have started to appear on the receipts when Karahi comes with one so didnt bother going back as fuel spent will cost more! Exact way to go down the drain, keep it up this way and it will be quicker!
