Kabul House

The menu may say the “family pack” is only for three, but expect leftovers for the day after, because the rice will feed six. Kabul House is down the end of Stoddard Rd’s Tulja Centre, a largely clinical shopping strip that immediately warms itself once you’re greeted by the hospitality at this restaurant. Food here is Afghani, mostly kebabs cooked on charcoal and biryani, the latter which uses sella basmati, a longer variety, every grain perfectly coated in oil and dotted with bits of raisin. You can also get other regional specialities, like aushak, vegetable dumplings filled with leek and spring onion. Our favourite kebab is definitely the lamb kofta (minced meat).
