Absolutely awesome!
Went there last week and booked a table of about 8 people. Lovely food, hospitable service, and a cool mix-modern atmosphere.
The Afghan menu itself is unique too. The banquets offered flavours that surprised us all!

We got the banquet last night for 4 at $40 a head & BYO wine.
Wow the food was delicious & a lot of it.
The lamb & egg plant (I know surprising) dishes were a favourite.
The owner & staff were great.
Have been meaning to try this place for a while & glad we did. This is likely to be a weekly thing at this price & taste.

The best food on the beaches! The lamb barrah kebab we have every time we go (at least10 so far) and it's the best lamb we have ever eaten. We like to try different dishes every time we go and it's all delicious. We have taken a number of friends there and they all love it. In fact, we are off there for dinner again tonight!

Amazing fresh home cooked food. Service is fantastic too. This is now our favourite restaurant. Everything we have tasted on 6 occassions has been delicious. Do yourself a favour and go dine there, you won't be disappointed. We highly recommend the dumpling - entree

Amazing food. Love how the dishes are hearty but yet light for the stomach, delicious well balanced spices, tender meat, taste buds so satisfied. Great service as well. Would definitely come again.

This little gem has only been open for just on 12 months, and as it was our first visit Fariba was keen to explain the menu choices to us and suggest some dishes to give us a good introduction to Afghani food. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, it was presented beautifully, and tasted delicious. The restaurant is a modern setting, BYO, and everything was just perfect. There is plenty of parking in the street behind the restaurant, or the new Coles supermarket on the eastern side of Pittwater Road. The price was very reasonable for our family of 3, and all in all, a most enjoyable experience. Try it, you'll be surprised.

Food bland. Mine was supposed to be mild and spicy. No spice! Husband's meal was cold and tasteless. Both meals overloaded with oil.
The Bolanee was terrible and they charge $9.90. (You can get fantastic mince with veg ones elsewhere for $5.50. So will be sticking with that restaurant.)

The staff were rude and somehow managed to mess up my entree and main after writing it down and reading it back to me. I ordered the beef dumplings and they gave me lamb dumplings. I ordered a lamb korma and they gave me a dish of meat balls in tomato sauce. The dumplings were nice but I would never return after the staff rolled their eyes at me when I tried to talk to them about my meal.

Amazing food and fantastic service! Why did i only just find out about this place?! My partner and i went there for dinner for the first time. The waitor made fantastic suggestions of food that was plenty for the 2 if us. Everything was delicious beyond belief. We demolished the entrée platter (short of licking the plate), the garlic naan was hands down the best I've had, and we had enough food so saved half of the main for lunch the next day. The waitor also shared with us food history and customs of the Afghan people. Stories, good hospitality and amazing food! - what more could you ask?

Got take away from here after walking past and looking at menu. Was greeted by a friendly man named Cass who recommended a couple of dishes which were super tasty and very reasonably priced. My girlfriend and I can't wait to take friends here. Beautiful food.

If you are looking for hearty tasty Indian sort of food, this is one of the better places on Northern Beaches. The place had a great ambience and was quite loud to be honest, however was great fun nevertheless. We had just one person in the group who was a vegetarian, and she didn't enjoy her food at all. However others had quite a co teary experience. If only I have to refer a negative would the portion of the plate which was quite small. Notwithstanding I look forward to going there again!

Hearty, home food. Lighter and less hot than Indian cuisine (with which it shares common elements), with a lot of fragrant spices, chunky vegetables and deliciously cooked meat. Restaurant opened only recently (the place is freshly renovated) and still seems to be searching for a clientele but it's well worth a try - another option added to an already diverse set on the Northern Beaches.
