A cavernous, family-focused Afghan institution in Harrow known for its generous hospitality and massive meat platters designed for communal dining.
Ordering Strategy
This place is built for groups; pre-order the lamb shoulder (feeds 5-6) or the 'whole beast' (feeds 15+) if you have the numbers, otherwise stick to the mixed grills.
What to order
Qabili Palow
The restaurant's most popular item; a traditional pilaf with raisins and carrots that consistently rates highly across platforms.
Lamb Karahi
A rich, heavy lamb curry that Eater highlights as a standout, and is the second most-ordered item on delivery apps.
Bourani Afghani
An eggplant starter that earns rave reviews even from meat-focused diners, often cited as the best version in London.
