Wow wow wow is all I can say. This is the best afghan/ persian restaurant ever. Have tried so many in NSW and other states and across Europe but this is by far the BEST EVER!! The Sabzi is literally the best number 1. Has no meaty smell and tastes sooo fresh and good. Great food with no excess layer of oil like others… this was super good and delicious.. the rice was fluffy and delicious. The kebab was super good tender and amazing flavour.

We had to wait a bit for the food but it was definitely worth the wait because it was peak hour weekend but the food was sooo good honestly I would recommend this Persian / Afghan restaurant to anyone. Our guests also enjoyed this food and we literally all demolished our plates was that good. The menue doesn’t say what is included and what is not so maybe I’d suggest the owner to write down exactly what comes with what. For example; the sabzi doesn’t say it comes with rice. Or the kebab doesn’t mention it comes with bread or rice of your choice. This should be clearly written on the menue for quicker service but the waiter was very friendly and explained the different menu options and showed us photos which were so helpful as we were first timers. But I think for quicker choosing the menu should be updated to reflect exactly what it comes with or what your side options are.

The price is a little dear but worth it cos it’s very delicious.

The portion size is quite small to be honest as other have mentioned in the reviews. I had to ask for a second place of rice because the rice that comes with sabzi was not enough.

But overall the taste of...

Such an amazing hidden gem.

A delightful place to have Afghan and Middle Eastern food.

The ambience is pretty good, has parking available in front of the store and there is a parking lot available that is close by.

The food was incredible. Very well cooked and was brilliantly spiced. The chicken and lamb kebabs were cooked so well that they were melting in the mouth.

We had Mantu, the dumpling were nicely cooked and the daal has a nice mild spiced taste to it. From the entrees we also tried the AFC (Afghan fried chicken) and it was delicious. This dish is amazing. If you visit this place please try it.

For the main course, we had the chicken biryani pallow which was amazing. The chicken was well cooked and the rice was hot and spicy. We also had the mixer kebab skewers platter and that was the highlight of our lunch. I have never had such perfectly cooked kebabs in Melbourne before.

This place is surely a must visit for people who like middle eastern and...
