Afghan Village Restaurant 923 Burke Road, Camberwell, Victoria 3124

"Chicken korma with sultana and carrot, ashak and bolini is so good! I love the yoghurt sauce. They have a really good price for banquet so I recommend for large parties as you will be eating good. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. Service and ambiance is amazing. Very cozy and homey restaurant!"

"Came here tonight and was just blown away by the experience, what a hidden gem in Camberwell! The service was brilliant. Our waiter pasha was a very polite and friendly young gentleman who took our order quickly and our food came out in a reasonable time. The food was fresh, visually pleasing and most importantly delicious!! The kebabs were juicy and tender. My favourite dish was the bolini bread which was an interesting mix of bread and potato. The baklava and ferni were the perfect dessert to finish the meal. Can’t recommend this place enough!! I can’t wait to come back with more friends to share the experience. Thanks for the memorable night!!"

"Set banquets are a good place to start for your first time, though it was mostly veg options. I’d choose my own next time and opt for more meat dishes. Cool stacked teapot/teacup."

"We went to Afghan Village Restaurant for dinner and got a bit of everything; lamb korma, chicken khandahari, kofta meat balls, some grills & entrees (as part of the Special Banquet - 4 entrees, 4 mains, desserts & a hot drink @68pp). The portions were not big, and I thought a lot of the dishes were tomato heavy so they had very similar flavour profiles, but it could just be an Afghani thing. I did enjoy the meat balls and the mixed grills (and the flavourful Kabuli Palau rice that came with the kormas), as well as Firnee which was a delectable dessert of rose water flavoured custard. Service was quick, staff members were very friendly."

"I don't know why it ever took me so long to try it here. It's really good. I cheated and looked at the menu online ahead of time, and it sounded so delish, and didn't disappoint. It's warm and cozy inside, with nice decor and lots of tealights to give it a nice atmosphere (along with the Afghani music). The waiter was quick to greet us and give us the menus, and after ordering, the food came out in good time and was all cooked the way we asked for, and the right modifications were made too. The potatoes were delicious, and thankfully someone else at the table had bread I could steal to help mop up some sauce. The chicken kebabs were beautiful and tender and full of lovely flavour. They came with bread and salad. I don't think there's anything I could fault as it was just so morish. I couldn't finish everything, therefore I didn't stuff myself with dessert, even though I wanted to, but from what we all ate, we all agreed we'd come back again for sure. Parking can be a tiny bit of a pain in the you-know-where, but otherwise, it's a restaurant that I'd definitely recommend to anyone who loves Indian and/or Nepalese food, but wants a slight change in flavour. It's very good, and can't wait to try it again."
