Kandahar Kabab

Chapli Kabab

Pan-fried ground beef patties seasoned with coriander, green chili, and pomegranate seeds — crispy-edged and deeply savoury

Seekh Kabab

Ground lamb or beef threaded onto skewers, grilled over charcoal with warm spicing and a slightly smoky char

Qabuli Pulao

Afghanistan's national dish — basmati rice steamed over braised lamb, topped with caramelized carrots and raisins, fragrant with cardamom

Mantu

Steamed Afghan dumplings filled with spiced ground beef, draped in a tangy yogurt and tomato-based sauce and topped with dried mint

Chicken Tikka

Marinated bone-in chicken grilled in the tandoor — decent but less distinctive than the beef and lamb kabab options

Bolani

Thin whole-wheat flatbread stuffed with spiced potato or leek, pan-fried until golden and served with yogurt dip

Naan

Baked in a tandoor, arriving puffy and slightly charred — essential for scooping up sauces and accompaniments
