One of the most delicious meals I had today at this restaurant. Chicken Bolani was something I will remember for some time. Highly recommended and will be coming to the restaurant again and again. Nice and clean place, hospitable owner.

Firstly I must say that it makes a refreshing change to see a new takeaway doing proper authentic food rather than the usual chicken/doner takeaways! I sincerely hope this places does well! I called here for the Chapli kebab and whilst it was not the best Chapli Kebab I've eaten before, it was made fresh and cooked from scratch so huge credit to them for doing that. They gave me a free bread with the Chapli kebab and I'm not sure if it was a roti bread or a naan bread but what I will say on it is that it's probably one of the nicest breads that I've eaten from any restaurant or takeaway. I've uploaded some photos of their menu and to be fair it looks excellent and I look forward to trying some new items from it. This looks like a family business and they've taken a huge gamble on providing an authentic menu and serving good. quality food and for that reason they deserve a huge customer base. For these reasons I've given them 5 stars out of 5 and I would urge people to try this place as the menu looks spectacular and you will not be disappointed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible Afghan food, must try! I ordered from Afghan Kebab House in Manchester and was blown away by how good the food was. I tried their 1kg Lamb Degi, juicy, tender, and packed with flavour. It was so delicious that I ordered it again the very next day…More reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible Afghan food, must try! I ordered from Afghan Kebab House in Manchester and was blown away by how good the food was. I tried their 1kg Lamb Degi, juicy, tender, and packed with flavour. It was so delicious that I ordered it again the very next day! Prices on Uber Eats were a bit higher (£26 vs £20 in person), but honestly, it’s 100% worth every penny. If you can, go in person, it’s cheaper and you get to experience the warm, family-run atmosphere. You can tell they cook with love and pride. The quality, portion sizes, and authentic Afghan flavours make this place a hidden gem. I highly recommend supporting them, you won’t regret it!

I bought Afghan naan and bolani from this shop and absolutely loved everything! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of authentic flavor. Their naan was soft and perfect, and the bolani had such an amazing taste. The staff were also very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to enjoy real Afghan food!

What a beautiful little gem! Food cooked fresh. I had the Qabily Pulao. Lamb shank with rice, salad, nan, sauces. There was way too much so I took another meal's worth of bread, rice and sauce away. A lovely family run business.

Great little place in Ashton under Lyne, serving up some fine Afghan cuisine. The bolanis are spot on. And now to try the Chapli kebabs. Friendly staff too. Order direct by phone or in the shop, DON'T USE Foodhub you'll be forever as they try to refund you.

“Absolutely incredible Afghani food — the Qabily Pulao here is a masterpiece. Tender lamb shank falls off the bone, and the rice is perfectly fragrant with a hint of sweetness from the carrots and raisins. The service is warm and personal, and you genuinely feel like you’re dining in someone’s home. Can’t recommend it enough for anyone craving authentic Afghan cuisine!”

Chicken wings were incredible. The wings were perfectly grilled, juicy, and had just the right balance of smoky and spicy flavors. The rice was light and fragrant, pairing perfectly with the chicken. Definitely a satisfying, hearty meal that hit all the right notes. The service was quick and friendly—felt very welcomed as soon as. Highly recommend this

Qabuli Pulao with Beef Shank – Afghan Classic Fragrant basmati rice layered with slow-cooked, fall-apart beef shank, delicately seasoned with Afghan spices. Topped with sweet, golden caramelized carrots and plump raisins for a perfect balance of savory and sweet. A timeless Afghan comfort dish that warms the heart and delights the senses.

Qorma-e-Sabzi is a hearty, traditional Afghan spinach stew, simmered until tender and deeply flavorful. Fresh spinach is gently cooked with finely chopped onions and fragrant garlic, softened in warm oil until aromatic. Chopped tomatoes or a touch of tomato paste bring a mellow tang, balanced by the earthy notes of ground coriander. The dish is seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, allowing the freshness of the spinach to shine. Slow cooking melds the flavors into a thick, comforting qorma that pairs perfectly with Afghan naan or steamed rice.

🌟 Afghani Mantoo (Mantu) Description: Mantoo are delicate steamed dumplings filled with spiced ground meat (usually beef or lamb), onions, and seasonings, all wrapped in thin dough. These dumplings are then steamed until tender and typically served with a savory topping of garlicky tomato-based lentil sauce and a generous drizzle of chaka (Afghan-style thick yogurt or garlic yogurt sauce). They’re often garnished with dried mint, coriander, or sumac. Texture & Flavor: • The dumpling wrapper is soft and slightly chewy. • The meat filling is juicy, aromatic, and lightly spiced. • The lentil sauce adds richness and earthiness The yogurt topping offers a creamy, tangy contrast. Cultural Note: Mantoo is often made for special occasions and family gatherings, as preparing the dumplings can be time-consuming. It shares roots with Central Asian and Middle Eastern dumpling traditions (like Turkish mantı), but Afghan mantoo is unique in its topping and flavor profile.
Afghan Munto, also known as Mantu, is a beloved traditional dumpling dish in Afghan cuisine. These delicate dumplings are typically filled with seasoned ground beef or lamb, finely chopped onions, and a blend of aromatic spices like black pepper and coriander. The dumplings are carefully wrapped in thin dough and then steamed to perfection. Mantu is often served with a rich topping of garlicky tomato sauce and creamy yogurt, and it’s generously sprinkled with dried mint or ground sumac for a burst of flavor. Some variations also include a lentil or split pea topping for added texture and protein. This dish is especially popular at gatherings and special occasions, celebrated not only for its taste but for the skill and time involved in preparing it. Soft, savory, and slightly tangy, Afghan Munto offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors that represent the heart of Afghan hospitality and culinary tradition.
