The Tannoor Restaurant — Restaurant in Yogyakarta

We are happy to have Afghan restaurant finally in Yogyakarta, as we are traveling artist between Kreuzberg-Berlin and Yogya we kind of close to Afghan and big asian cuisine. We order Samosas and Kofta, the samosas pastry is very good, crispy but soft, more like Mürbeteig or short crust pastry, it really compliments the spice in the filling and the sweetness of potatoes. The Kofta is well spiced and the Basmati is very good also. Just the tomato sauce i think can be spiced more to add the nuance of fragrance Afghan delicacy. The Mango with yoghurt and mint was excellent and the chai was the best so far in Yogyakarta .the owner is very kind and he is painter artist from Afghanistan, we can see his work in display at restaurants walls. The ambiance is good but make it more Afghani will be great for the...

We have to make a reservation before dining here. I am not foreign to Middle Eastern or Indian food but this was my first experience to Afghan food. I was told by the host that the cuisine was more influenced by Turkey (if I'm not mistaken).

We ordered 3 dishes for two, chicken tikka, dopiazza and mantu. The tikka was a bit on the saltier side to my taste (this is only personal preference), still, everything was great. The meat was tender. I used to see mantu (dumpling) closely attached as a part of Chinese dishes but dining here gave me a new perspective about other food cultures.

Prices are on the average, around Rp 150k (including the tax) for 3 dishes that we ordered. Definitely worth every penny. The restaurant is a little tucked away, might be a bit tricky for a...

This more than a dining experience. It’s a full immersion into the Afgani culture. Mumtaz and his partner make genuine Afgani food with fresh delicious ingredients. The food is healing. I found myself savoring every bite. So good I went 2x in one day.

Mumtaz also sits and talks with you about his life and experiences as you eat in his home. There’s a lot of rich culture you can learn from him.

He also has his art everywhere which is fun part of the experience.

It’s a small family style place and you need to preorder to eat here. You get a world class experience and food tasting without the long lines and hefty prices.

It’s absolutely worth...
