Slow service, 15mins into waiting for my guest to arrive not once was I offered water. Restaurant staff sat gathered at a table nearby having catch up session. I asked for a drink and received can without a glass or ice, had to ask for that. Kabuli palaw was flavourless, lamb chops slightly overcooked - not tender at all. This is not Afghan food made with love at all. Will never be coming here again.

Great seasoned Afghan food. Cooked perfectly. Great waiter. Took a gamble on this place as I was in the area for a birthday party. I live in Romford. Well pleased and 20% on food through the Fork made it a great deal. Ordered extra to take away. I’m a seasoned food lover so right up my street. My wife loved it and kids enjoyed tasting new foods unfortunately for them they just had food at the birthday party. Will return to try out other foods from the menu.

I encountered significant mismanagement at this restaurant, prompting me to address the issue. I informed them that I had made a reservation through TheFork app, expecting a 50% discount. The waitress summoned the manager, who explained that the discount only applied to select menu items, excluding the grill options. When I inquired about the eligible items, he mentioned only vegetarian dishes, which seemed odd for an Afghan restaurant. I pointed out that this wasn't indicated during my booking, as it clearly stated a 50% discount on the entire food bill à la carte. He claimed to have sent an email to TheFork. Frustrated by the situation, we decided to leave. Save your time and avoid this place. It's baffling that TheFork offers such options on their platform.

Food was good, first time trying afghan food. The starter and chocolate cake we had were a bit disappointing though. On another note they don't actually accept yums
