"Great taste of afghan meat. Especially the Chopan! Other kebabs are fine and delicious as well. The place is wonderful and large, but you need to pay for the park. Like $2 per hour."

"The food is good. The lady boss is friendly and efficient. She set up a table outside the shop just for my family when the restaurant is full. The rice with mutton is my favourite. Real good. A must visit place when in Dandenong"

"The food was really delicious and fresh. My order arrived in under 15 minutes, which was impressive. I would definitely recommend this place for the quality and speed of service. The only downside was the unisex toilet, which was messy and quite off-putting."

"First time dining here and the staff were so friendly, the smell of the charcoal grill as soon as you walk in let's you know you're already in for a great meal! We asked the lovely waitress about how many of the Mums special platter we should order with 2 adults and 2 kids as we also had to try some Manto so went with her recommendation of 2 X the mums special platter and it was plenty of food! Everything tasted amazing! These are definitely the best Manto I have ever tried and all the meats were beautifully grilled, we will definitely be back!"

"Amazing food, awesome seating arrangement and very lovely wait staff. You just have to, HAVE TO try their fish. Amazing dining experience. Authentic Afghan cuisine and also authentic Afghan style tablecloth spread (dastarkhwan) dining option. Standing out with the amount of competition in the area gets a double thumbs up from me. They just have answered the confusing answer of where to go when in Dandenong. Well done. Must visit spot if you are in Melbourne and after Afghan cuisine."
