  Weve been living down the road from the Point Chev for over a year yet it was only the other day we stumbled across Afghani restaurant Samadi. This restaurant was certainly a great introduction to Afghani cuisine. It was very reminiscent of other Middle Eastern cuisine in flavour, but did have its own unique flare. Although the vege options werent endless, there was just enough on the menu to keep us satiated. – First we ordered a sauted pumpkin dish which came topped with a garlic yogurt and fresh mint (reminiscent of tzatiziki) and Afghan bread. The pumpkin was super soft and sweet and tasted divine combined with the yogurt and on top of the pillowy Afghan bread. 8/10 – This was a very similar to the first dish with the same yogurt topping and bread, except the pumpkin was replaced with succulent eggplant. Eggplant can be so hot or miss but this was perfectly cooked, to the point it simply melted in the mouth. The spices it was cooked in were subtle but still sufficiently flavourful. 8.5/10- Believe it or not, one can find dumplings outside of the Chinese ones on Dom road. These morsels had a very similar outside to a traditional dumplings but were stuffed quite simply with chives and not much else. Luckily the lack of filling was made up for with toppings, included yellow split peas and the same delicious garlic yogurt. 7.5/10

  We really enjoyed our experience trying out Afghan food for the first time at this gem. We came quite a while ago when they had opened not long. We loved the food and the owners were absolutely wonderful. Its a small restaurant with limited indoor seating, mainly just a table for a larger group, other than that its outdoor seating where the ambience is not really nice.
