Tasty
I must say the food here is really amazing had the rice and the meat is inside absolutely beautiful and not that expensive neither definitely worth a visit
Well the have been a fan of Al - faham my entire college life. There was this afgani food joint in Banglore where we used to Hogg on Al- Faham .
But this time in this outlet I actually tried real Afgani cuisine and the Al - Faham was out of this world .
They specialise in clay oven charcoal kebebs and I agree the kebabas are special here . I now know what a Al - Faham actually taste like . very different from the Indian spicy one available .
Afghan Cuisine offers incredible value for money and the entire meal, including bottled water, came to less than £30.00. This was the latest in a long line of visits to Afghan Cuisine and it won’t be the last. The food is excellent, great value and served in surroundings that would have you believe that you’re on holiday in another part of the world.
Just the quaint little restaurant with good food. Ended up here after roaming around the Curry Mile looking for something which fits the budget and is tasty too. Afghan cuisine attracted me as I had never tasted Afghan food.
The menu is not huge which is a good thing. We ordered Chicken Al-faham and a Kabab platter.
The Chicken Al-faham was perfectly cooked with a nice saffron colour. It tasted great, with the right blend of spices and cooked to perfection.
The lamb sheekh kabab was a tad-bit egg flavoured, maybe a the chef put a more egg to keep the shape. The taste was good. It came with a soft Naan. The chicken kababs were nice too.
Overall, a good place to grab a bite when fine-dine is not what you are looking for. It has dine-in and seating in two floors. Prices are reasonable, our bill for the two dishes (enough for two average eaters) came to about £13.
An amazingly delicious Qabli Rice every time we eat here. We've been dining at Afghan Cuisine for over 12 years and the recipe has remained unchanged. The Manto, Qabli Pilau, and Rotisserie Chicken on Rice are simply delicious. It's always busy here! Service is pretty quick despite the busyness, sometimes at Eid you have to wait up to 10 minutes for a table but otherwise, when we dined last night (Saturday evening, October 2023) there were plenty of tables available.
The Chicken on Rice that we ordered came with a complimentary salad and two sauces (yogurt and mint raita, and a spicy sauce with tomatoes and chillies). The chicken was succulent yet the skin was crispy!
I recommend coming here for authentic and hearty food. Yes the prices have increased lately but it's worth dining here every now and then!
Sat upstairs, the place was fairly clean.
Food came very quickly, kebabs were nice, but we're too huge and a little salty.
Overall was a good experience.
Great authentic Afghani food in the heart of curry mile. The only cons are that it's cash only and the seating area is not very clean. There was also a random TV show playing out loud in the seating area, which ruined the vibe. They need to improve their ambiance to match the cuisine.
Best kobeda and kabilao pilao ever !! Absolutely spot on ! Staff deliver a rilliant customer service and seating area are nice too. Quality, quantity and price are thr perfect combo for a nice meal !
A decent restaurant with typical delicious afghani food.
PROS: location, staff, food options, food quality, taste
CONS: interior, cleanliness
I visited this place yesterday during my trip to Manchester, we had a mix grill platter and rice. and it was absolutely mouth-watering. Everything was great and delicious.. the atmosphere was a bit blunt .. but the food with no fault... they don't accept cards... make sure you gor cash on you .. but there is a cash machine couple minutes down the road... I can't wait for my next visit to try it again
Lip smacking, clean, and soo gooood !!! Can’t wait for our next trip to Manchester to eat here again.
We haven't tried the Kebabs much.
But I would recommend to try the
1. Qabily Pillow (Kabuli Pulav)
3. Double Kobeda Kabab (Lamb Kebab)
You’ll love it.
Really nice food, good value of money, and polite staff.
Highly recommended!
Food was delicious. Best place to explore the authentic Arabian dishes. Actually it was suggested by a friend and no doubt, it was really a 'worth visiting' place for Arabian food lovers. Cash only payment was the only -ve I found in here and taking 1 star for that.Hopefully they'll sort it soon.
The food is mostly nice and cooked well. Been to this place many times, and the service is really fast. The staff is also good.
