THE HIDDEN TREASURE: Walking past Prospect Road, digging out what is there to try. Walk past this place called Afghan Cuisine & Charcoal Kebab House. The appearance of the Eatery is not appealing at all. It seems dull and not pleasant to dine. The only thing that caught my eyes was the Charcoal smell. Looked at the name, it says “Charcoal”. Look around at the other side, The other house was quite full but yet, I had tried the other place already. I was then took the chance to walk in and try. It is a Cafe style of counter ordering. The smell of the flaming charcoal odour got me to continue on. By reading the menu, the price range was very reasonable. Average price range is around $18/serve. It is a family restaurant with the traditional costumes by the host herself. Ordered 2 dishes, one Curry lamb with bread and a combo of 3 skewers and rice and a side drink for $19. Definitely value for money. It didn’t take long for the dishes to come. Amazing taste of sensation, bursting in my mouth. The well seasoning of the meat and the intensity of the spices in the marination, all I can say is, I am in heaven. The side of the mint yoghurt and the Spicy chilli tomato salsa dipping sauce is so complex, I literally could not stop eating. The Lamb Curry is definitely needed to be mentioned about. The use of spices in it is so good that I ate it with proud feeling. I was really amazed how the food was come together. The tender meat from the Curry, and the favour was extremely well done. For the average price dinner within $20, I believe it is definitely worth for anyone want to try it out. I would surely go and dine again. Rating of 4 local stars is not really my want. If the decor is better than now, I would rate for more. Possibly with a International stars for it plus a well renown as well. The decor is a bit dark and dull with a bad feeling of not very clean environment. However, it is cleaned. It is just the colour is not a good choice with a bad frontage set-up. It has a good potential future but need to work on the look first. Remember this, just look at our human face structure, coming down from our head, our eyes are next then our nose and then our mouth. It simply telling us that appearance is always come first by using our eyes. Then our nose to smell second and then our mouth to taste it. This is Mother Nature’s gift to us. Hope to see the place changes.

This place is a local institution, you can’t miss it there is a camel sign attached to the building and plenty of parking on Kintore Road alongside. The food highlights include pretty much everything that’s cooked on the charcoal bbq’s, the tender lamb is a particular favourite and the breads so fresh and tasty. We always have the eggplant dish and plenty of meat. There’s loads to choose from on the menu and it’s a great place to go for a large group feast, there is always a birthday party in there and it’s generally very full of a wide variety of society including lots of friendly local afghanis. It won’t cost you more than $25 a head including soft drinks and you’ll be stuffed to the brim, give it a go you will become regulars like us and all our friends and family in the area. Enjoy!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Afghan cuisine restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The flavors and spices used in the dishes were simply exquisite. Each bite was a journey of rich and authentic flavors that delighted my taste buds. The warm and welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. From the fragrant rice dishes to the succulent kebabs, every dish was prepared with care and expertise. I highly recommend Afghan cuisine to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable culinary experience.

Food here is fantastic and great value. Service staff are very obliging and friendly also. One of m favourite places. Only one small detail negative is that the doorway out to the toilets is constantly left open by customers and on a cold night it results in a freezing breeze coming through. Maybe a windbreak in front of the door?

I took my family for a lunch the other day. Absolutely loved the flavours of kebabs and bolani and in house baked bread tasted great! All the spicy sauces are served on the side, so you can adjust the flavour as you wish. Children cleaned up the plates and asked to come again soon. The staff are very friendly. Best value for money and uncompromising flavour of authentic Afghan cousine. Family friendly place. Five stars from me !

Their food is good. I like mostly their kabuki pulao. In all restaurants I have some special that I always order whenever I visit them. I usually don't like rice that much in other restaurant, but here this is my favourite dish. Ofcourse other food items are delicious too. But if you like to it juicy fatty meat, I recommend this one. It's lamb piece is too good. Also they have plenty sitting arrangements. Car park is on road. They are open till 11pm.

Fantastic place! Came here on a whim and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food here. Super delicious and fresh. Each dish had distinct flavours different to each other and all of it was devoured by my family. Loved the dumplings, the eggplant, the skewers and the flatbread. Definitely coming back!

This was our first time trying Afghan food. The walkway from the parking lot into the restaurant had the aroma of food wafting out. The smell and taste are quite fancier than in other restaurants. They look quite yummy inside and out. The friendly service made us feel friendly and comfortable. Will be back.

My family and I eat here often and we have never been disappointed. The bolani makes for a delicious entree. Both the chicken and lamb kebabs are always fresh, tender and well seasoned. The waitress is so friendly and welcoming and the food always comes out quickly, even when they’re run off their feet.

Afghan food never disappoints, and this place was on point. We ordered some lamb kebab, curry, and half rost chicken. My favourite was the minced lamb kebab. The tenderness and the juice from the fat were just too good. On the day I went, the service was fast as there were not too many people.

The food here is so delicious, that we've gone out of our way a few times to eat here. The food comes out quickly and is a good price. Everything we have ordered here is beautiful to eat. Some aspects of the service could be improved, but we don't care, the delicious food makes up for it.

The lady serving is very friendly and chatty! She's great! Food is generous, filling, healthy and packed with flavour. I recommend the BBQ chicken, mixed skewers, and biryani rice. Prices are very cheap for the amount you get. Sometimes the table hasn't been cleaned before sitting, but they're happy to wipe it down when you ask them :-)

Chicken and the lamb was very tender ,salad a tiny bit bland for me, the rice also a little bland , the sauces added flavour to the rice , overall nice food .

BBQ Chicken with Kabuli Rice and Salad

Best Kebabs on the strip if not Adelaide - the most tender juiciest chicken kebabs to be had. We travel from the Adelaide Hills to this great little restaurant for our Afghani food fix. Staff friendly and good service. The Bolani is fabulous as well.

I wanted to order some food for tomorrow the staff was asking me to come and order, I told her that far away , she said if you can't come then no order and disconnected the phone. Very rude. I called 3 times, and she was making excuses, saying I am busy and I am alone.

Chicken Skewers

The mixed grill is delicious - huge serves and the meat is tender and seasoned perfectly. Unassuming and you could easily walk past it but it’s a great little find on prospect road.

That's really good experience first time with Afghan food. I had three skewers chicken with rice and Briyani rice with chicken.

Ate beautiful charcoal chicken, skewers of lamb, chicken, rice, pita bread Food is cooked fresh and really full of spices and flavours A great place to eat

Best Afghani food I have tasted. Would definitely be a return visitor if we didn’t live in Melbourne. Loved it and the hat was just beautiful
