Discover local Afghani gems
Steeped in tradition and a crossroad for many cultures, the cuisine of Afghanistan is an interesting consequence of the many traders over many generations. This land-locked country is where trade routes of Europe, China, India and the Middle East crossed paths. With this blend of travellers came all the flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques of their respective countries. Throw in the rough landscapes and harsh climate into the mix, and Afghani cuisine is unique, with hospitality at its core.
The main influences of Afghani cuisine are from India, Iran and Mongolia. Despite the use of many spices, Afghani food is neither too spicy nor too hot. If you are in the mood for some flavoursome, exotic dishes, look no further than Afghani cuisine!

Popular dishes
Mantu
A go-to fave of Afghan Cuisine is Mantu (be sure to go-to the Just Eat app first). These sumptuous Meat-Filled Dumplings are crammed with onion and either ground beef or lamb. Mantu is steamed then topped with a sautéed tomatoes and a yogurt-based sauce mix of garlic and split chickpeas. Then dressed with dried mint and coriander. Ashak is a variation originating from Kabul with a blend of highly-seasoned ground meat mixed with a high percentage of Leeks, then topped with a garlic-mint Qoroot (aka airy-based) sauce, sautéed tomatoes and Red Kidney Beans (all you need now is a red Menulog delivery bike to bring it home)
Kabuli Palaw
Kabuli Palaw is the popular National Dish of Afghanistan, with steamed Basmati Rice infused with powerful flavours from succulent lamb, lentils, raisins, carrots, onions, almonds and whole spices. Palaw is featured in many rice dishes using a rich variety of meat, stock and herbs which give rise to many fabulous flavours, aromas and colours that the rice dishes are often named after. For example, Zamarod Palaw (aka Emerald Palaw) which introduces Spinach just before the baking process, and hence the green Emerald name (be sure to use our gem of a Menulog app when ordering).
