About Afghan Cuisine and Charcoal Kebab House

Open-flame charcoal cooking anchors this Prospect Road fixture, where skewers hit the coals alongside warm flatbread and spiced rice. Regulars crowd into the dining room for generous platters of spiced chicken and minced lamb kebab—crisp on the edges, juicy within, and piled beside minted eggplant and housemade red sauce. The setting stays informal and friendly, suited for sharing large spreads with family over glasses of chilled dogh and hot green tea.

  • Real Charcoal Grill: Skewers of lamb and spiced chicken get charred directly over hot coals for crisp, flame-kissed edges.
  • Shareable Feast Platters: Generous skewer platters come piled high alongside warm flatbread, Kabuli pulao, and house sauces.
  • Relaxed Family Setting: A welcoming dining room that easily accommodates lively family tables and group get-togethers.

Before you head over

Practical tips on portions, parking, and ordering for your visit

  • Come with a hearty appetite

    Platters and mixed grills feature massive portions served with fresh bread and aromatic rice, so arrive hungry or consider sharing.

  • Look for Kintore Road parking

    Parking is straightforward alongside the restaurant on Kintore Road, right near the building's camel sign.

  • Order hot tea early

    Freshly brewed pots of traditional tea take extra time to prepare compared to grilled mains, so order them early if you plan to enjoy tea with dinner.
