The best Afghani food I had in london in the @balkh restaurant in kenton. the last time I had afghan food, was in Munich in 2019! I was megahung after cycling for 90 minutes and 4 1/2 hours climbing. in order the qabli palow (lamb shaft with reis) and mantu (lamb dumpling). both were generous portions and absolutely delicious. I had dough to drink. service was friendly and professional. they also gave me a bit of home made ice on the house. definitely back.

Service is excellent. very friendly. on the bottom was eating. isn't that bad, it was just extremely salty, and it wasn't just me, it was a lot of the group complaining about it too. also a part of the fries that come with the meal is very small. the ambiente is different.
