Flavours to rival some of Melbournes top restaurants, Afghan Shaheen at Sunshine delivers traditional middle eastern dishes full of punch and flavour at a very reasonable price. Service is friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Well worth a visit and travelling for.
Food tastes great, full of flavour and delicious. We had:
Butter Chicken - Leans on the sweet side but pleasant.
Lamb Saag - Subtle, lamb was soft and did not have any game taste.
Aloo Gobhi - Spiced up cauliflower never tasted so good
Cheese Garlic Naan - Airy, bready.
Dessert - Not sure what their names were, but wow, very very sweet. Best enjoyed with a strong tea or coffee.
Staff were friendly, very patient they even through all the types of desserts available. Seating very comfortable, old school grand style. Only qualm were the plates to dine off were greasy before we even used them.
This rating is based off the taste alone, I can’t fault their curries and reasonable prices.
Always come here for the desserts. So creamy and mouthful of flavour. Highly recommend this place for afghan desserts. The donut ball with maple syrup is amazing
Beautiful local restaurant! I have not had Afgan food before but decided to try this place because the menu had some of my favs (butter chicken, samosas). Service is friendly and attentive. Prices and portion size are very good (2 adults shared 1 entree (samosas), 2 curries, 2 breads, rice)!!
The flavours - AMAZING. Highly recommend the chana masala (chickpea curry). Have been here few times now and the food is delicious every time. Very good takeaway service too.
Great hidden gem for Afghan/Pakistani/Indian. Favourites are Mantu (because I love any kind of dumpling) goat curry and rice (we always order two!) and the mixed kebabs. Service is great and you can let them know your spice level which is good.
They cater for all taste buds and you can even have a good chai tea and sweets to finish your meal.
Very tasty n authentic food. Awesome quantity. Will definitely order again. The mixed platter was so yummy n super soft roti. Biryani too was not too oily. Good little place in the west for delivery
Delicious food, great prices and great servings. Highly recommend!!! Thanks for the nice dinner Afghan Shaheen. I will be trying the sweets next time.
Came in for a quick dinner before our movie, meals are very well prices and generous, we ordered the onion bajhi which was great, then the afghan rice with mixed kebab, Mixed Kebab, Cheese Garlic Naan and a dish of the chicken Saag...it was all amazing! Especially the chicken kebab and cheese Garlic Naan, we were so full we couldn't even walk. Service was also good and the sweets all look delish! Would definitely recommend this place cant wait to go back.
Yuuuuuuuum! Delicious food! All very tasty. Great for kids too as 'Mild' is chilli-free, so really is mild. The staff are friendly, the deserts make you drool even to walk past the window. A great alternative to so many many Vietnamese restaurants in the area too. A new regular haunt.
Bargain!
Terrific place - always friendly people. Delicious food - try the Manta (afghan dumplings) and pretty much everything else. Oh. The rice - Kabuli Pulao - is also delicious.
We've been here few times and never a bad experience ...
Update 21 July 17 - this place is still the best!
Amazing and authentic Afghani food. Quantity was good as well. Had Mantu, Chapli Kebab and Afghan rice with mixed kebab skewers. Will definitely visit again if I get a chance.

Amazing food & very generous portions for the price. Very friendly service. Very clean & well maintained premise.
We ordered the lamb kebab and well mince kebab. It came with a generous portion of bread on the side.
Very happy with the experience!
My favorite place for Afghan kebab in the west! Very fresh bread baked on the spot! Very delicious chicken and lamb, also cooked while you wait!
Extremely delicious food... Specially their platter bbq. Chapli kabab was also good. Noodles were amazing we ordered chicken tikka masala flavour noodles, must visit this place. Highly recommended. They have pakistani sweets and biscuits also.
The food was fresh, nice service, friendly waitress, healthy food, warm, full of spices, good for your body and mind ☺️ Fully satisfied ☺️

Absolutely delicious, highly recommended!!!
I think we've just found our new go-to place to grab a guaranteed, consistent, flavoursome and simply delicious dinner in Sunshine!!!!
It's a great mix of dishes that are available here, Afghani, Pakistani, Indian, overall a great menu with many offerings to satisfy a wide range of tastes.
I've never liked Indian food much and have tended to steer clear of Indian restaurants as I just don't like curries, overpowering spices, nut-flavoured sauces or yoghurty, milky, creamy type sauces. Luckily as this place serves a range of different dishes that aren't just Indian, it is the absolutely PERFECT place to go out to dinner with someone or a group of people where some like Indian and others don't.
Another thing worth mentioning about this place is the great value!! All dishes on the menu are very well priced, so you can be sure you'll get delicious food that will satisfy your taste buds, yummy bread that's sure to fill you up and all at very affordable prices. We got 2 main meat-based meals between me and my fiancee, a serving of rice, two servings of bread and she also got a mango lassi, all for under $40!!!
I ordered the Saag Goat which was just simply delightful!! Saag is a spinach-based sauce that just tastes amazing, highly recommended!! My fiancee ordered butter chicken and she thoroughly enjoyed the flavour. I gave it a quick try and I didn't mind it too much. It's probably the best butter chicken I've ever tasted, but then again I try to steer clear of it as it's not a flavour I personally enjoy. Though as she loved the taste of it (and she's quite critical when it comes to food), you can be assured that if you're a fan of butter chicken, you'll love it here!! The garlic roti bread as also an absolute joy to eat!
Another thing worth mentioning is that their menu had an awesome selection of vegetarian dishes too, so this would be a great restaurant for a group of people where some are vegetarian!
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, it's absolutely beautiful inside!! The chairs and tables are just lush and have a very high-quality vibe about them.
Overall, highly highly recommended!!!!
