Afghan Najimi — Restaurant in Melbourne

I feel rather foolish because I mistaken this place as the other Najimi restaurant. I was wanting to try Najimi restaurant and saw the name at this restaurant’s window and went in. It’s not until when I was leaving I saw all the shops/restaurants next to it and realised the one I wanted to go to is the green one, not this one. I dont eat Afghan foods much so I am not an expert in Afghan foods or the pricing. The menu was pretty simple, we went with combination meat (chicken & lamb), and the eggplant dish. The girl at the counter couldn’t speak English very well, so plus me not familiar with Afghan foods, there might have been misunderstanding with the dish. Nowhere in the menu it mentions rice other than the biryani, which we don’t want.

Also had their ice cream that stacks up, that was beautiful and light. Overall happy with the foods, although more meat...

So i went at the register asking for the 5th meal but they weren't sure if they had taken the order. They brought the 5th one after 20 minutes and the chicken kabab was rotten and lamb tikka was raw. The lady nodded her head and left the room after we explained to her that the chicken was rotten and that she hadn't given us water. We waited for another 15 minutes thinking that they will bring a new meal but they did not and the lady said she thought we were ok to eat it. We left the restaurant disappointed after making payment but no apology whatsoever. Instead they...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Afghan restaurant with my family and it was an exquisite experience from start to finish. The warm hospitality made me feel like a welcomed guest.

The menu boasts a delightful array of authentic Afghan dishes, each bursting with rich flavors and aromatic spices. From the tender kebabs to the flavorful rice dishes, every bite was a journey into Afghan culinary excellence.

The staff was incredibly attentive and eager to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their passion for sharing the culture through food is evident in every detail. I left with a satisfied palate and a newfound appreciation for Afghan cuisine.
