Quality food, fresh cut & freshly preparedCooked with Mild and natural flavours.Ambiance is cozy & relaxing.Slightly overpriced but worth it.Cooking & serving time is long as freshly prepared from scratch, so have patience & enjoy fresh food.

Tasty food but food preparation takes a lot of time..specially shinwari karahi..took more than 45 mins for our order. So better to call and order before reaching the restaurant

We were so hungry and saw this restaurant and decided to give it a go. While reading the reviews in the restaurant, we decided to go with the mini platter as suggested from one of the reviewers. It was plenty for two of us. The minced meat skewer was fab. Chicken very tender. Part of the beef was a bit dry but all in all very good. The bread with meat was outstanding - crispy crust was just divine. You have to try that. Ambience was great and staff very friendly and attentive.

Good place to experience Pakistani and Afghani cuisine. Decent dinning. Prices are in the mid range but good value for money. Delicious food!

Ambience: 5/5Taste: 4/5Service: 5/5Value for Money: 2/5Overall, it was a memorable dining experience with friends. The food is prepared with fresh meat and tastes good, although not something very different from budget friendly pakistani restaurants. The cost is a bit high and thats why my low rating on value for money.

We’d really bad experience at your restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend to anybody. We had gone with friends and family and we’d ordered few Pulao Platter and all the food had extra salt in them. When I complained the waiter said when you are here next time we will be more careful and inform us in advance that you would want less salt. This is not our first time here and I deserve better service. Bad experience ever! Zero star for last night.

I had lunch with my friends couple of weeks ago and it was my first time there. The staff is friendly and professional, the food is great and I loved the lamb pretty much, the atmosphere is nice and traditional. The whole experience was great, prices are not very high but the quality deserves, the access from main road might be tricky so make sure you use Google map on first visit.Highly recommended place.

Whenever we are out of ideas what to eat we always go for Wakha. Their mixed grill platter is the one which we always order. Whether it’s a delivery or takeaway.It’s a platter for 2 but believe me we 4 can eat nicely. 100 dhms and you don’t need to go for anything else. Literally your mouth will not stop.Meat is very fresh and tender. It’s an authentic afghani restaurant. Must try.

We went late night..first of all, they were not in mood to serve us as we reached there almost 11.45 pm ,think that they are not washing their dress..there is a bad smell while we enter inside.. They did not offered their menu..they said all finish....we were forced to taste only their pulavu.....

Ordered 3 different meals boneless meat meals with total weight of 2kg. After almost 1 hour waiting, they served the meals to find out they added bones to all the meals (almost half the weight are bones) to cheat people. They even put a bone in the barbecued meal literally pure bone with no meat on it.Overpriced, bad management, and dishonest. Not recommended.

If you are looking for something different , cultural yet tasty then this place is a must visit.Ambience is very good. They serve you some authentic balochi food with freshly chopped mutton in there very own butcher corner inside the restaurant. You can infact choose your own piece of meat from the displayed goats.A must visit if you are a meat lover!

It has other branches but this one highly recommended especially for their lamb roast, lamb chops and shinwari. The prices for these dishes are towards the higher side but worth it. I had been coming back to this place for the said dishes as you cant get enough of it. Must try!!

Great place for Afghani food. Kabuli palao and grill is their specialty. The food is cooked after your order is placed therefore there is a waiting time of at least 30mins but the food is worth the wait. The Restaurant is quite expensive but the food is different and delicious.

Its a must go place to go for people who love meat. if youre a vegetarian youll be disappointed. Service there is hyper slow takes 45 mins before you get food on your table, at be a good idea to order ahead before you arrive. Expect to spend approx Aed 80 per person. Chapli Kebab, BBQ Tikka, Dumpukth and lamb chops are worth trying. Afghani Pilaf and Lassi are pretty decent as well.

Review №67

The Pulao with Mixed grill serve is excellent, meat is tender and juicy. Sinwari muttonIs phenomenally and tastes best with garlic bread. That’s a must try. ReallyLiked the idea of “Help yourself with a salad coz the meat is gonna take time”Could be fun if knives were a bit sharper coz 1 out of 6 we were able to barely cut some veggies after which all of us gave up and left it as it is.As they say if you want to know a culture try their cuisine. 🇦🇫 Food is for all meat lovers.GO TRY IT OUT GUYS!! Bon appetite 🥩🍖

Food was Amazing. Had this after 5 years and believe me same great taste.I have serious advise order in advance as you need to wait minimum 50 minutes to get your food and if you are with kids they will loose patience soon 😜Try Lamb Shinwari as chicken shinwari is not give you real ambiance of shinwari taste.

Good food and good service, if you are looking for something different and fresh it’s the place. Don’t be surprised as the place is not fancy.. it’s type of street food where you can see the chef cutting the meet and grilling it. It’s an experience if you like spices

Review №98

They literally sent me old meat that has been drowned in salt. Food wasn’t edible in the least. Not a chance. They serve this mixed bbq plate while charging me 105 dirhams while no one would eat it even for free. The driver told me the restaurant is telling him to come back and he can’t pick the food up or give me a refund. I call the restaurant and he says maybe he can try to replace the food for me tomorrow??? I’m fighting him to get a refund and seems that won’t be possible. These are the real scammers. Extremely shocking how a place like this is allowed to operate. Please save yourself and eat anywhere else.
