Afghan Grill restaurant is widely recognised for serving up the best Afghan cuisine in Bethnal Green, London. The food is exotic and full of character, yet it is simple, hearty and full of tradition!

The cooking is a combination of fragrant rice and tender meats like lamb and chicken, accompanied by fresh vegetables, onions, garlic, herbs and an array of house-made sauces. Unique Afghan spices bring each dish to life — not overpowering, but delicately balanced to let the natural flavours shine through. Signature dishes like the Chopan Kebab and Chapli Kebab are grilled to perfection, while the famous Kabuli Pilau and aubergine dishes have earned praise for their comforting richness and authenticity.

The restaurant is smallish and cosy from inside, but the space is nicely organised with some Afghan touches in the décor — including traditional floor seating and a dedicated area for women. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a smoky aroma of grilled meats and spices, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The team is friendly and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations, making every guest feel welcome — whether it’s your first visit or your fifth.
