Reviews Afghan Sufra

We usually head out to Merrylands whenever we feel like an Afghani feed, which is often. We love Merrylands but its quite a trek from our pretentious innerwest bubble. So we are thrilled to find Sufra Afghani in Halden Street Lakemba, one of the Sydney's best and most underappreciated food strips. Sufra is a takeaway joint and restaurant with half a dozen big tables and super smiley service. Out the back there's a bunch of master bakers and grillers doing their thing, and they do it so well.

Afghan Sufra is an unassuming looking place but it punches well above its weight in yumminess. I never would have noticed it had it not been for that bewitching scent of stewed meats and spices as i walked past.
The perfect place to pop in for something delicious and filling on a cold day/night, it's impossible to go wrong with any choices. Mr M and I sampled the chicken Palau, a beef gravy concoction mild but redolent with a complex level of spices and a moreish flavour that kept on bringing me back to it over and over again. a plate of shami kebab is beautiful in its simplicity not too rich with the perfect hint of charcoal char, lettuce onion and tomato trio are refreshing accompaniments, along with a raita-ish dipping sauce and a little chilli vinegared concoction.
Star of the show is the Afghan bread. it's made fresh to order in an awesome looking tanjore like oven. A large fluffy yet crispy disc of bready heaven will set you back a mere dollar. I wish this place was next door to my place. I would eat it everyday!
Highly recommend to go and eat. it's not about decor and bells and whistles. Just good honest food. what's not to like about that?

Great food full of those flavors and spices you crave for when looking for authentic Arabic cuisine! The bread is amazing. Meats are nice and the curries are a must have especially with the bread! Will be back.

Afghan Food @afghansufra Lakemba, Sydney😃 We had the yummy mixed kebabs & mantu with freshly made naan bread at Afghan Sufra restaurant. The hot fresh naans straight from the tandoor oven were soooo good😋 It was the first time we had Afghan food at this restaurant & it was fresh & tasty & they have a big variety of dishes on their menu too.

Nice shop with freshly made bread. We got the Afghan bread which was soft and flavoursome. We also got the sweet bread to try later. The service was friendly. The bread was was a good price. Would definitely try other breads next time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you are in the area and looking to get fresh bread. Do it.

Was recommended this place by a friend and decided to eat in. The food here was pretty good as it’s freshly made/cooked. We went during the Eid period so it was a bit of a wait but the service provided was decent. The meat was cooked well and the rice and bread were nice too but actual interior of the place is a little outdated and doesn’t seem as clean as you’d desire but enough to be able to eat from. May consider going back for another dish/bread.
