Some great authentic Afghan dishes on the menu which were well made a delicious. The service was fast and efficient.
Love the food here :) very nice people, we were patient with each other. Never had Afghan cuisine before this restaurant. We ordered the Afghan Special Set Menu for 4 people and added 1 special of the Afghan rice with a lamb shank. There were 5 of us and it was HEAPS. We had to take some home.
The atmosphere around our table was great for chatting, too!
Their kebab on a skewer is yum. I couldnt eat much because i wasnt hungry that time but I tasted it. It was good. I would recommend the lamb and the chicken.
came here this time for the restaurant...coz someone recommended it... ordered a few lamb dishes and they were all good ! compared to other afghan restaurants in the area...they give 8 kebab sticks instead of 4....so they're generous on quantity... will be coming back again
We had a lovely experience. The staff was courteous and efficient. The food arrived promptly and the servings were generous. All the food was very fresh and tasty, we loved the bread and found the meat was so well cooked it slid easily off the bone. Having never experienced Afghan cuisine before I now would not hesitate to recommend to friends. The dining room was comfortable and decorated with an exotic flair and we really felt like we had been transported to a different culture. A really fun lunch for our group. Thank you Afghan Masala!
Service could be a little faster but the food and warm service more than makes up for it. Lovely dishes and excellent value. A few vegetarian options so everyone should be happy.
Great Afghan food. Great decor. Great service. Cheap too. Superb for an early afternoon lunch. We keep on going back as it is so good. Superb.
The Afghan Masala Persian Cuisine covers a lot of geographical ground. It offers Afghani and Indian food and the owner of the place is Persian so they do Irani style cuisine as well.
Recommended by a friend and definetly didn't dissapoint! absolutely delicious! The lamb the chicken the bread the rice the dips were all beautiful! Going back again very soon.

Interesting sweets. It's probably not fair to compare other Muslim bakeries to Balha's in Brunswick, because that's the best Middle Eastern sweet shop that I've encountered anywhere in the world, and I've seen a fair bit of this planet. But it was with visions of Balha's that I was drawn in by the sight of Afghan Masala's pastry case. (This place also has a sit-down restraurant, but I had already eaten.) Afghan Masala has a good selection of pastries for a smallish shop, maybe 20% of what Balha's has. I'd rate it as comparable to the Aviv Jewish bakery in Elsternwick. Masala also has lots of Indian-style galub jamun/chickpea flour-based sweets.
I bought a small box with a variety of the Afghan style bikkies. The ones I liked best were the wheat-based ones that had flaky, layered dough. They weren't overly sweet, had a crunchy, tender mouth feel, and actually tasted better after sitting in my fridge overnight than they did fresh. That made the texture a bit denser. The small baklava pieces I had were over-macerated and soggy, so their phyllo had gotten thick and mushy. Overall I was happy with the box, which had a half-dozen things for $6.
We bought sweets from this place twice within a week and must say that they were like really good.. I mean really good. So, we thought of trying out their restaurant as well. Quantity wise, it was good, the curry was very tasty but the disappointment was around the quality of chicken used. It was either old or was left slightly raw during cooking. While the dining place was neat and clean, the bathroom was not so.

Hands down one of the most underrated restaurants/bakeries in Dandenong. Their sweets are absolutely delicious - especially the cakes! and the prices are super reasonable! Highly recommend this place for those who love sweet baked goods!
Very good food and the prices are not too bad. Yes the place does need an uplift and perhaps they need to have more staff during peak time as it gets really busy and the same staff that takes your order is also serving at the sweets counter so you may have to wait for a while before you even place your order. We also had to ask for the tables, chairs and floor to be cleaned before we were seated!
