Thought the food was top notch. The waiter was very friendly and professional, after explaining the menu, the waiter recommended dishes and the extent of spice to each of our liking. Everyone was contented with their meal. I had a spiced lamb curry and my dish was superb. I found the food similar to indian food much to my enjoyment!... More

Visited the Afghan Gallery Restaurant at about 8:30pm on ANZAC Day. The restaurant was fairly full downstairs, but was able to get a seat for two looking out onto Brunswick Street. We ordered a couple of drinks, a Naan bread, a rice, lamb kebab & a chicken dish. The best way to describe the food was a cross between Indian... More

OK place, funny waiter, but the food itself was less than memorable. The second level might provide a more exotic environment, but we were not seated there, unfortunately. More

Exotic array of authentic afgani dishes. Ambience not the best feature. Excellent menu list. Get the waiters to explain the dishes but every dish is a taste bud adventure. More

This place is special and just the right thing to round off the whole Brunswick Street experience. Escape the street's bongo-filled huzzle-and-buzzle for a little while, lift the curtain and indulge in Afghan hospitality. Sit on cushions around low tables and enjoy the hot and spicy cuisine of a fascinating country. Then head out and finish the night with drinks... More
