How we read reviews →Craigieburn's go-to Afghan grill for charcoal kebabs, Qabuli Pulao and generous biryani.
No-frills counter-service grill inside Craigieburn Central. reviewers say it trades polish for flavour, with simple seating for family dinners rather than a dressed-up dining room.
Charcoal-grilled kebabs and freshly baked Afghan bread are the draw, though several recent reviewers say the kitchen has moved away from cooking over charcoal, softening the signature smoky flavour.
Reviewers describe home-made sauces and traditional dishes like Qabuli Pulao and Palaw lamb curry, with several calling it among the best Afghan cuisine in Melbourne.
Split by era. long-term reviewers say prices have risen while portions have shrunk over the past couple of years, though many still call the biryani and pulao worth the price.
