The hidden secrets of the symbols on Afghan Kilim are believed to be a lost language. We've revealed 3 popular symbols on our wall - Flower, Butterfly and Palm Tree - but there are many more to discover on the Kilim draped over our tables. Join us for a meal at our destarkhon and decrypt its lost language.

Happy 2021!

The crown jewel of Afghan cuisine, Qabuli Palau, was created by the aristocrats of Kabul who could afford luxury ingredients like caramelised carrots, fleshy raisins and fancy nuts to add to their rice.
And it’s vegetarian!

But it’s not our only vegetarian dish, pair it with our Banjan Sia, Kadoo and Aushak and you’ve got yourself a vegetarian feast!

Nooshe Jan!

Aushak is to Afghans, as pasta is to Italians. But Aushak isn’t pasta! They’re dumplings filled with chives, and topped with a sauce of beef mince, yoghurt and dried mint.
Time consuming to prepare, and a true labour of love at special gatherings.

Happy New Year friends!
We are open and our summer hours have changed to:
Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays
5:30pm - 10pm

Saturdays
5pm - 10pm

Facebook message, email [email protected] or call us on 846 9955 to reserve a place at the ‘destarkhon’.

Wishing you all the best for 2020 and looking forward to sharing a meal with you soon.

In the Hindu Kush mountain range of Afghanistan, temperatures are well below freezing.To keep warm the locals indulge in fragrant meat threaded on metal skewers. Our kebabs are marinated in our family's secret recipe and cooked over warm coals which makes it one of our most popular dishes to warm things up in this cooler weather.
Choose from Chicken or Lamb. Eat in or Ubereats.
