Quite a pricey experience at Afghan Village and for portions on the smaller side. I was underwhelmed with the flavours and would rather visit Dandenon…

Good food. Light on spices, yougurt and shami kebab were great. Chicken and meat pieces were plain, slight improvements with spices will go a long way…

We went on a weekday, and I was very happy to discover this quiet place where to go with friends with whom you can have a pleasant conversation. Indee…

My favourite place!! I could live off of the bolini and cauliflower dish forever super welcoming… I recommend this place to all my friends!
Fabalous traditional food!! I enjoyed nice flavours of Kabuli Palau, Kebabs and yogurt tonight accompanied with Great service and soulful music!!
Went here with a 35% off voucher and ordered the traditional banquet. While the food was pleasant, it was certainly bland and unremarkable and a bit stingy for a banquet, reminiscent of a decent home cooked meal but no way worth $30 dollars each, even with the discount. Not sure what the fuss is about, good food, but seriously overpriced and not competitive for Melbourne cuisine. In one word, meh!
We understand that this restaurant has been here over 25 years. We can see why. The decor, service and food is authentic, genuine and really enjoyable. Its so obvious that the food here is cooked with love and pride. We had never had Afghan food before. Its sort of like a mixture of middle eastern, Asian and Indian even. This is probably misleading though. It is its own cuisine of course with a rich history and its very tasty and rustic on what we had here. We loved every single dish we tried. We had the Badenjan Bourani, Ashak, Mantoo, Qorma Badenjan, Qorma e Gulnee, Beef Kabuli Palau and Chicken Khandahsti. I think the memory of the food that will stay with me the longest is the subtlety and depth of the spicing in a number of the dishes. Corkage was very reasonable at $5 a bottle. Always good to be able to take a special bottle of your own. Our thanks to the owner manager here who is a lovely man. There was some serious discussion at our table (an upcoming wedding!) and he allowed us to stay to finish the chat. An excellent restaurant that we strongly recommend for a great nice out.
It was busy for a weeknight so it showed promise. With the amount of choice available we went with the waitress choices. The meals selected were flawless
Great ambience with matching great quality of food. The eggplant dish was so simple, yet so tasty and the bakhlava was deliciously sweet. Great place, will definitely be going again!
I tried this restaurant last night and I have to say the food is divine, great staff and totally satisfying in all aspects. KabuliPalauwas one of my favourites.
