    The food here is some of the best and most authentic that I’ve had in London. The Chapli and kadai are worth travelling far for! I’ve also hosted large groups here, which were catered excellently.

    Very disappointed. The poorest service, food is not good and fresh. Everything so is so dirty. The meat wasn't fresh. I have diarrhea after eating there. My son Wormited. I think government should control there Asian restaurants often. We are in Europe especially in London. They add some Afghani dishes at their menu. I think the previous owner was from there. Just rice was OK. Other things not fresh at all. Waste of money. 🤮🤮🤮🤮. It was really disrespectful.

    Please don't even try it. Very disappointed. Hygiene: 0, very dirty, no taste in food. The presentation is a big zero. In the beginning, when an Afghan man was running this restaurant, everything was fine. Now it is the worst restaurant I have ever tried. After eating there, my family and I had food poisoning and diarrhoea. Overall, I'll give it a -5. I think the meat was washed and cooked again, which is disgusting. I don't know how the government allows them to run something like this.

    It has a rather exotic start, with area that guest can seat by the carpet floor which was rather nice The Lamb Shank with rice was rather good value for money However The menu doesn't have great description of these exotic food, neither good photo (by the way , the photo really doesn't match up with the dish ) Lots of dish either run out or not existed The service is a mix bag, one day was rather friendly, the other day I had rather miserable waiter with horrible service The both Lamb or Chicken tikka dish for 7 GBP (2022) each, you get tiny 1 skewer , or what they call "4 pieces - 5 pieces of meat" (which I must admit I miss read from the menu photo, the dish clearly does not look like that ) The portion was ridiculous tiny for the price range for eat out in Walthamstow, 7 GBP a dish for the size of half keba ? May be some serious reality check is needed for the owner But in the end , I do find my tiny portion of chicken tikka was made rather nicely , chicken was cooked well and good flavour however, I was left hungry, and I will be more careful next time
