Red Camel in Waltham Forest

I found the restaurant/take away online and based on reviews - decided to go! When l reached the place l ordered to take away and had little to eat there (plus they do the traditional Mantu’s). I asked how much?, when checking prices. The guy who had finished eating quietly paid, then when l finished l asked, if all what I ordered was in the bag. When l was quoted the price l asked again!! I had been over charged. Plus when l reached home the portion where very small for 3 people plus the mixed grill had chicken pieces cut in 4’s from 1 chicken cube. Food was okay/good, however, not for the price and to be ripped off! Shameful, shameful. I had asked the price at the beginning and was told not to worry - l can pay at the end , not only was salad missing, portion/what was quoted was not correct then to be over charged. Before sitting down or paying - check what you order, price and physically ask to see instead of being treated with dishonesty. I will not recommend or go there again!

Food hear never disappoints. Really special authentic Afghan home cooking. Mantu (dumplings with spiced lamb topped with yoghurt and chana dahl) is my favourite. The Qabily Pilau (rice cooked with sultanas, grated carrot and lamb on the bone) is to always perfect. Had that with an aubergine stew. Asked for small portions to share for 2 and was more than enough. Amazing food in a deceptively ordinary looking shop. Limited seating so book if eating in. Take away orders going out constantly. Chef cooks in front of you .

A small cozy restaurant. Seating place maybe 12 maximum. The chef Akbar was friendly, hospitable and looked after us really well. The food was extremely tasty and authentic. Service was very fast. Some may consider the restaurant as pricey, but the food was worth it.

Very delicious and flavorful. The lamb chops were very tender and spiced will. Mantu was very tasty(big portion). Aubergine stew was very delicious as well. All these three dishes are a must to try. Free tasty spicy sauce and salad are served before the food. Nice owner. Medium prices. Will definitely come back again.

Unbelievable great food cooked to perfection best rice I have ever eaten, get the mixed grill to share with someone and make sure you try the green chuti

Incredible food! The meat platter was full of delight with each meat cooked to perfection and amazing flavour! I’ll definitely be back again soon!

excellent selection of afghan dishes. order a variety so you can try them all. charming chef and crew too. we’ll be back.

This is one of my favourite places to eat! The food is delicious - sooo much flavour and not expensive at all! The people the run it are also really lovely and kind! It's a joy going going there and I'd recommend everything on the menu!

I'm British afghan so it's hard to please me with food. But this food is FANTASTIC. humble place. Cracking tasty food. This is a hidden gem.

Delicious food in an unassuming place. The aubergine stew is melt-in-the-mouth, and the tortellini/aashak is really fresh and silky. Great service and brilliant value. We go back all the time.

My family and I love the food from this place - amazing and delicious Afghani food. Small shop and family business run by a lovely, warm local family. Not ideal to eat in but perfect for take away or delivery! Such delicious food. A regular place for our family to eat
