This is hands down one of my top 3 favourite places in Adelaide. The food is incredible and unlike the previous review I'd add a star if I could for the fact that everything is made fresh rather than sitting around for hours. Hubby and I (and our 17 month old daughter) are never let down by the food or the service. Always delicious and always great service. Amazing every single time.
Friendly, casual, good service, great food and generous serve. The combo lunch plate $20 was delicious!
I just had the most amazing meal I have ever eaten in Australia here. Not only were the ingredients fresh and tasty but the staff was kind and attentive to my allergies. I can’t wait to come back and eat here again!! :)
Delicious Afghan food at its finest! If you're looking for something quirky, and different for the palette, then you cannot miss this place! I mean seriously, look at the colourful decor and not to forget, the food!
The Afghani lamb dumplings are a must-try at this little eatery which is a riot of colour. The mantu (steamed dumplings stuffed with carrot and onion) are piled on a plate and topped with a flavoursome tomato sauce with lamb and yoghurt. Life is good when you can grab a table on the sidewalk with a plate of this deliciousness.
Had a fantastic lunch today at Kutchi Deli. Great food, nice staff and great spot. Super quick service and lots of fantastic options to choose from on the menu. Would highly recommend it!
Neither of us could decide anything because every single thing on the menu sounded nice, so with the help of the very patient waitress we both got mixed plates where you can choose three items.
Its a cute little lunch spot. I have had the mantu and the chapli kebab and chicken burger. The mantu was okay, the meat sauce was a little too sour, but an overall okay dish. The chapli kebab, as a burger, was pretty good. It was a very big lamb patty with salad and a dressing. However it was a little under seasoned. They are very generous with the chicken as its over flowing in the naan! Same deal as the other one, came with salad and a dressing. It was seasonsed perfectly but was a little dry. Overall a good experience, and hoping to try more.
Has options for vegetarians and meat eaters-both equally delicious! Good food, generous serves and very reasonable pricing. We had the pan fried dumplings with the meat sauce, the steamed mantu with veg sauce and the lamb bolani with mint chutney- all highly recommended. We will be back to try other menu options!
Popped in for a quick lunch and we decided to share the mantu, the lamb curry and the Afghan "lamb burger". All were generous serves. The dumplings had a delicious filling with a meat sauce over the top. The lamb curry had a great taste and was really tender and the rice that accompanied it had a lovely flavour. The "lamb burger" was a large lamb patty with salad in a large bread. It was good. the bread was useful for sopping up the mantu meat sauce.
A lovely find!! Came here for lunch with the SO and was not disappointed!!!
We ordered the eggplant and some meat and dumplings.
Food was beautiful and tasted great. So many good options to choose from it can take awhile to pick your dish.
Service was alright, awkward when your food is sent to the wrong table (which was already full with food) despite you sitting I front of the waitress and she was the one who took your order.
Overall loved it here and will be back!!
Thank you for opening in the city. Love your style. Keep creating and sharing those sweet recipes.
Will return soon.
This is a lovely lunch spot in Ebenezer Place. We had not had a lot of Afghan food prior to visiting the establishment so all the dishes were new experiences for us. The menu is small, but all dishes are delicious (my kind of food place!). We had a lamb kebab, a serving of dumplings, and the famed eggplant curry, with iced chai and rose sharbat on the side. The dumplings remained crunchy, despite being drenched in extremely flavorful tomato sauce. The kebab was of course delicious; and the eggplant curry was a little sweeter than we had expected, but that was definitely a welcome surprised. We left full and satisfied, and without much of a dent in our wallet because everything was so reasonably priced!
This cafe is like a big warm hug. Home cooked simple food that's unpretentious. The rice is so fragrant and tasty, as was the curry. The dumplings were highly recommended by my friend. The rose syrup drink was refreshing. Highly recommended and will be back when we're next in Adelaide.
Very sweet and friendly service! The chicken curry with rice and salad was scrumptious! The rose flavoured cold drink is nothing special though.
Kutchi Deli is a great addition to the already impressive list of eateries along Ebenezer place. Adorned in groovy patterns and colours, marvel in the atmosphere while you decide on what to order.
The entire menu is definitely worth a look. I was able to sample a few dishes with our party of four. Everything tasted great and an honorable mention on the iced chai. Whether it was brewed from tea leaves and spices or powder, I'll never know (I would if I asked...). The Chai was delicious and not overly sweet the way most cafe's make it.
Adelaide is on the up because of joints like Kutchi. Family Ayubi are changing our understanding of Middle Eastern cuisine with their traditional Afghan recipes. Everything on the menu is worth doing, but the eggplant, dumplings, and spiced chai are all time. Worth going back at least once a week. At least.
Love the lamb kebab! So juicy and full of flavour. Service is good and enjoyed the interior.
Great service, great price and great food. $20 for a choice of 3 different items on the menu. Will definitely go back. I told the lady it was my first time there and she took the time to go through the menu with me.
8seats inside, more tables outside, nice food, good portion, sweetness in chai latte is perfect, cute environment
