The food was exceptional! Some of the best I’ve had in Brighton. Their kabuli lamb pulao and shawarma naan were both delicious. But the Pulao really won it for me. Highly recommended, specially if you are visiting Brighton.
Amazing food, great value for money and friendly service! A reason for more regular visits to Brighton
Our first visit to Brighton and had lunch here. Owner is very friendly and the food, oh sooo good!!! Tried the lamb chops and chicken wings, had to order another round because it was theat delicious! Tried the naan as well, soft and good. Highly recommended
Wonderful and perfectly cooked food, delicious always, absolutely worth visiting, friendly and friendly staff, clean place,
Best shawarma of my life. Nothing comes close (unless maybe you fancy going to Berlin). The wraps from what I can tell are handmade and they have the greatest texture - crispy but slightly puffy too. Meat is delicious and juicy. I’ve also tried chicken kofta with rice and it lived up to the same standard. Came in with a party of 8 another time - service was amazing, very accommodating and forgiving even though we messed up our own orders. Thanks a lot to the team for making this gem of a place real! If I had just one suggestion - hand made fries as a side would have elevated your dishes even more. I understand you can’t do absolutely everything though.
Tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint. The food is authentic Afghani, full of flavor, and the portion sizes are generous ... you’ll definitely leave full! The menu has so much variety, it was hard to choose just one dish. Service was fast, the staff were really welcoming, and best of all, no service charge! The restaurant is easy to find and 100% halal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something hearty and real.
Had a large portion of the Afgani kebab platter. The platter had 10 chunks of very nicely spiced lamb with salad, rice and saffron, would recommend - however wouldn't call this a 'large' portion. Staff was very friendly, and the place had an overall feel of a kebab shop with persian - Afgani music playing over the TV. Would recommend this place.
By far the best in Brighton. Super service, so friendly and helpful. The place is spotlessly clean and the grill is always as fresh as can be. I highly recommend the family platter as its fantastic value it easily feeds mine. The flat bread is out of this world too.
