This was our first time visiting an Afghan restaurant, and it completely took us by surprise! The food was incredibly authentic and full of flavor. We ordered kebabs with rice, along with Afghan Sheeryakh and Shikanji drinks—everything was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful dinner with our family and truly loved every bit of the experience.
The Kadak tea was next level—an absolute must try! We are definitely coming back. The owner was extremely kind and even treated us to an extra tea, which made the evening even more special.
I’ve added some pictures to the review so you can see how authentic and amazing everything looked. Highly recommended!

It is a solid option and might be the best Turkish food in the CBD. The food was prepared very promptly, and it’s open until very late, which is great in case you get the munchies after a night out. It’s a shame that kebabs and meat with chips are more expensive than they used to be, but that’s more of a general comment. The meat and sauce options here are as good as any. A solid choice overall.

I have never bought fish and chips for lunch before but some factors led me here.
1. It was hovering around 0 degrees and I wanted warm food.
2. I needed to get out of the house and go for a walk and it was closest store according to Google Maps.
3. I have been hammered by bills in the last few weeks and didn’t to spend more than $10.
A big and hot lunch for $8 was a steal. It was super busy and their menu and stir fried meals looked amazing.

I visited a couple of weeks ago. The sweet and sour pork was okay, nothing exciting and not even close to the best sweet and sour porks I've eaten. The wontons were awful - barely joined together and far too oily.

A classic Chinese restaurant that you can rely on to be consistent. Serving sizes are absolutely huge so bring a big appetite or a takeaway container (they don’t mind).
You’ll see many big groups dining here (for good reason) so come with a group if you want to try a range of dishes.
