Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are tons of cheap Afghan restaurants in Dandenong but we chose Afghan Salang because we wanted to bring a bottle of wine and have a leisurely lunch rather than a quick dip in and out of a street cafe. The food was delicious. We had the veggie dumpling type dish, with a mild eggplant dish mopped up with piles of the yummiest bread I've had in ages. Dips were also great. It's run by a friendly family and staff are helpful and pleasant. I hope to get back to Dandenong again to repeat my visit.

Afghan Salang hosted me, other students, and teachers, for lunch whilst on a day trip excursion to the Dandenong Market. The customer service at this restaurant was amazing, they were friendly and efficient in their work.
The food was incredible, considering they were catering for over 60 people from my school on top of people from the public. The food was fast and they had a variety to choose from. They provided entrees, mains, sides, and drinks and the price wasn't overly expensive.
I would eat here again.

I have dined at this restaurant before and can give them 8 out of 10 for authenticity and taste.
Although the foods are quite pricy compare to the rest of Afghani restaurants in the area but it’s not too bad.
I have tried their eggplant dish, Mantu ( dumpling filled with minced lamb and onions) and Ashak ( dumpling filled with vegetables) and they were also equally delicious. I would say they probably need to improve on their customer service.
Overall, if you like to try Afghan food, I would recommend this place.

The food was divine, wonderfully aromatic and so tasty, excellent preparation and more than enough for our son's engagement party of 50 people. Farid's suggestions of food and quantities were spot on and the food itself was delicious The chicken and lam kebabs, the lamb kofta, the rices and bread and dumplings and more were all ready for pick up and certainly satisfied all of my guests. I had visited the restaurant for a meal or two beforehand and have found not only the food so delicious but excellent staff service as well.

I had lunch at this restaurant. Interior decor is not fancy, simple and clean. Service was friendly, professional and fast. I ordered mix kebabs plate, which came with 4 different type of kebabs, salad, sauce and bread. Bread was so fresh, that I couldn’t stop eating it until finished all. Kebabs were very tender, juicy and extremely delicious.( all of them). Cost of this pleasure lunch less than 31$. Fully recommended.

personally i found the food delicious, how ever there wasn't got to chose from and I'm not a huge fan of certain meats so for me i found myself only being able to eat the rice and other stuff they provide. really good customer service lovely people and fast service. location is amazing and is walking distance from the amazing Dandenong Market.

On the 24th of May, I went to the Salang Restaurant for lunch. The food was amazing, cooked fast and the customer service was great. The lamb skewers tasted really good with the garlic sauce and bread. Overall, I left with a full stomach and was really impressed.

On the 25th of May, I went to the Salang Restaurant for lunch as part of a school excursion. I'm usually a very picky eater, but I tried the food they brought out and it was amazing. The chicken skewers were lovely and the bread was really fresh. Our food was cooked really fast and the service was excellent. I'll definitely go back again.

Went here to try something different and were not disappointed. The decor and furniture are pretty basic, and it was also quite noisy. However, the staff were very friendly and obliging, and the food was tasty (not too spicy) with generous size portions. Price was also reasonable for what we got. Would come here again!

Even if you can look past the noise in the place, or the extremely slow service and even the unprofessional and disorganized way they get their food to the table, one can’t ignore the rude manner in which the host speaks to you. The food which is average at best is not worth the inflated prices that these people charge. Dare to complain about anything (such as the inordinate amount of time it takes to get your food) and the fireworks really go off. Prepare yourself for an angry host coming out of the kitchen with steam coming off his head ready to challenge you for your audacity to complain about anything. Who cares if it took 30 mins to take your order and another 60mins to receive your food. You should be grateful you were even served food.

My wife had Afghan Selang recommended by a work colleague who is from Iran and we were enormously impressed with then food and the service. I had been to a Persian restaurant the night before and this one was so much better. The Chicken Korma was spicy and succulent my wife's Lamb Kofta was fanstastic. The Potato bread was a great starter and the Salad was fresh and crisp. We will definitely be coming back - and soon!

Took our family out for dinner to celebrate our Wedding anniversary today. The lamb cutlets were juicy & tender, the chicken Kebabs, Tikka Kebabs & the Shami kebabs were so tender and delicately spiced. Even the Qabuli Palow was delicious.
Mokim who i think is the owner? was very attentive and funny. Excellent service, great venue. A little expensive but worth every dollar. I would definitely go again. Highly recommend.

Went to Salang for a birthday family get together. Wasn’t sure what to expect as the restaurant is in Dandenong and the street appeal is poor.
Was very much surprised when we were inside. The restaurant was very clean and well presented.
We ordered 4 banquets for our group and every dish was unique in its own right and fresh, not to mention the char grilled kebabs with the wood fired taste.
Would definitely recommend and will visit again if in the area.
The restaurant is run by a family and is good home authentic cooking. Well done!

This was our first visit but we look forward to our next meal there! It exceeded our expectations with delicious food, friendly staff, attentive and informative service. We chose it for a lunchtime stop, and plan to visit again soon as there were too many dishes to enjoy in just one visit. We highly recommend Salang.
