About Lawash Bakery

Generous platters of charcoal-grilled skewers and spiced curries arrive heaped beside pillowy Afghan naan pulled straight from the live tandoor. Regulars make a ritual of tearing hot flatbread to wrap spiced lamb skewers, drizzled with crushed tomato and garlic sauces. Sprawling communal bench tables fill quickly with families and dinner groups splitting massive trays of Kabuli palow and tender, fall-off-the-bone lamb shank.

  • Live Tandoor Breads: On-site tandoor ovens turn out piping-hot naan, roti, and flatbreads to pair with saucy curries or wrap around charcoal skewers.
  • Generous Afghan Feasts: Oversized portions of grilled skewers, spiced curries, and aromatic rice platters are built to share across large banquet tables.

Why Choose Lawash Bakery

Why diners choose Lawash Bakery for generous Afghan platters, freshly fired tandoor bread, and vibrant group dining.

  • Generous Grilled Meats and Bread

    Orders of charcoal-grilled chicken and lamb skewers arrive under generous portions of freshly baked naan, offering substantial portions that easily satisfy hearty appetites.

    I was served a generous size of charcoal chicken breast under an enormous serving of naan.

  • Slow-Cooked Afghan Specialties

    Traditional mains such as Kabuli Palow feature fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks with aromatic, lightly seasoned rice in hefty portions.

    The chicken was aromatic and had the charred smoky flavour while the lamb was tender and fall-off-the-bone.

  • Effortless Platter Sharing for Groups

    Large seating arrangements and high-capacity platters make it easy and affordable for families and groups to feast and split meals comfortably.

    One plate can be shared with two people, too big portion for personal.

  • Live On-Site Tandoor Baking

    The active on-site tandoor turns out hot, chewy naans, rotis, and lawash breads baked continuously to accompany savory stews and kebabs.

    Very outstanding bakery especially for tandoor. They make every type of tandoori naans, rotis and all tandoori items on request.

  • Rustic Afghan Flavors and Fresh Sauces

    The unpretentious presentation of skewered meats straight off the grill wrapped with house-made sauces and salads delivers clean, memorable flavors.

    just clean basic food done well. Thats what keeps me coming back.

  • Mixed Kebab

    Ordered the mixed kebab (chicken, beef, lamb) - amazingly juicy and flavourful and comes with tomato and yoghurt relishes.

  • Tikka Kebab (lamb)

    Most recently, I had Tikka Kebab (lamb) and it was truly delicious. Even though it was a very generous, filling portion, I could have gone back for more, it was that good.

  • Breast Kabab with Naan

    I ordered the breast kabab with naan and it absolutely surpassed my expectations. I was served a generous size of charcoal chicken breast under an enormous serving of naan.

Before you head over

Practical dining advice for navigating seating, portions, and fresh bakery items

  • Time Visits for Fresh Tandoor Bread

    Visit while the on-site tandoor is active to enjoy flatbreads straight from the oven, or pick up takeaway multi-packs of lawash and naan to enjoy at home.

  • Plan for Generous Portions and Sharing

    Generous serving sizes make individual mains easily shareable between two diners, and staff provide takeaway containers if you cannot finish large dishes.

  • Expect Communal Seating and Side-Street Parking

    The dining room features large communal layouts where parties often share tables during dinner rushes, with limited parking available in the rear lot or adjacent side streets.
