Reviews of Zeenat Afghan Restaurant

M. M.

Found this place on Google, as was looking for a Afghan restaurant in North west London. When we got there it was quiet, a family run business. Nothing fancy to look at, but the food certainly makes up for it. Got a set. Menu for 4-5 people for £49. Lots of food and very filling, would definitely recommend. This is substance over style, not one of those Instagram places that are over priced with average food.

M. A.

Initial impression upon entry to the restaurant at 8:45pm on a Thursday night was rather negative. We ordered a special set menu for 2-3 people and we were 2 adults and a 12y old and a 2y old. The food took about 40 mins to start arriving and then the table got quickly filled up so many unexpected dishes from Maicha Qabuli Pilao with lamb shank, a plate of maantoo, 3 soups, a platter of mixed BBQ grill (lamb cubes, chicken cubes, chello lamb and even fish). We sure were very hungry by this time and were quickly impressed with the quality of the food. The kebabs were well seasoned and moist. The Qabuli Pilao was I'd say 3/5 - because it was a little under seasoned, but the lamb shank was a generous portion and so was the rice. We ate to our full and it's definitely a place to go for a regular meal but not a place your take someone for a gastronomic adventure as the peaks and troughs of the flavour spectrum are rather uniform. I'm giving it a 4 star because the owners really do try hard, and the food is very very good value for money. Improvements: focus on bringing out the distinct flavours of each dish.

Freshly cooked food. Never disappointed after long journey from Milton Keynes. Highly recommended.

T. A.

Tried the Kabuli Uzbeki pulao, the rice was fluffy and didn't stick to each other, lamb shank just fell off the bone, very soft and delicious. Lamb Biriyani was good, could have done with a bit more spice, definitely going back and would highly recommend this place. Very nice staff.

O. K.

Very much delicious food, service is great. Family business, very friendly environment and very humble people. Food is very fresh home-made and beautiful presentation

S. R.

One of the best Lamb chops Kebab I've ever had. So delicious and tender to bite, absolutely heavenly. Highly recommended.

G. S.

Food was really tasty, tried the pulao dish with lamb and it was awesome, also ask for the aubergine dish, portion size was really great. Overall great and authentic experience!

A. H.

Amazing homemade food. Fresh ingredients full of flavour and great value for money. The owners are also very friendly and welcoming. Please give this place a try and support your local small business!

F. S.

My compliments to the chef. Had a great evening out with my fiancé and my best friend. We discovered the place because we are going to move in the area so we needed a place to eat after signing the contract. Will definitely return for the great dishes, every single one cooked with care, respect, skill and talent. Trust in the advice you receive. For us it was definitely worthy it.

W. R.

Small place but amazing food. 👌😋👌 Never judge a book by it cover. 📙 I would definitely recommend that, this restaurant has the best food ever. I grew up with Mediterranean food, but I have never seen or heard or had any food like this before. Absolutely delicious and very good price, very nice and polite people. Extremely satisfying restaurant. 👌👍

R. B.

Food is amazing, so fresh and yummy, best Afghan Cusine in London.

J. S.

Having read reviews I wanted to try the restaurant. On a Sunday lunchtime it was closed. I made a journey specially.

M. K.

Thank you so much amazing food very nice i will be back soon

1. A.

The Authentic Afghan cuisine. If you order for parties I recommend the place you will receive the delivery on time and the amount of food more then you order. Clean and friendly environment. Nice customer service.

N. J. A.

Best Afghan food in UK I have tasted yet. Best people, felt like being at home. Would always buy and recommend. Best price and best quality as well as insane quantity along with unbelievable free ad ons. If you just buy the 12 pound kabuli pulao. It ll be enough for 3 average people.

F. W.

Authentic family run restaurant that serves very delicious food.

M. T.

Excellent Restaurant. Best Beryani .. Best Okra ... And Best service.... 👌

D. S.

This is my first experience of Afghani food and it was delicious! This seems to be a family run restaurant, with an authentic taste. The lamb dopiaza was well flavoured and the most succulent, falling-apart lamb. Would definitely return to try the kebabs.

i. s.

Tasty and fresh food in reasonable price highly recommended.

A. S.

Good value large portions, tasty food

Y. M.

F. b.

What a perfect find, incredible food welcoming atmosphere and the best chicken kebab ever. All the food was cooked to perfection, fresh and the taste was like being back in Afghanistan. I will be back 1000 times again. Also compliments to the waiting staff incredible service.

S.

I love their food especially the mantu, it's probably the best I've ever tasted. The service I'm conflicted about

A. (.

Amazing food and service. Tried Afghani food for the first time and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely loved the food.

s.

Amazing Food and great service, Best Afghani Pulao ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in North London. Also very generous food portion compared to the price. However the Mix Kebab (Chicken, Fish, Kebab, Lamb Chops) wasn’t that great I would rate ⭐️⭐️ Too Salty And they could do better with the Lamb Kofta Karahi which wasn’t great again.

F. P.

Wonderful taste would recommend the zeenat deal 2 or 1 depending on the amount of people.

A. a.

Best afghani food in the area 😋 and the staff are very friendly.

M. A. (.

Has been an amazing trip to taste this incredible food at afghan restaurant. They have a family friendly customer service and really hygienic. The manto and ashaak was one of the best I have ever tried in the whole north London I shall surely come hear again after this experience

M. D. (.

Been waiting some time during lockdown for Zeenat to re-open and was not disappointed. Wonderful food cooked to order, extremely generous portions and served in a friendly family atmosphere.

Wonderful authentic Afghan cuisine to add to the wonderful guest like service. I would recommend their Uzebki qabeli palaw which will remind you of Kabul. All the food is freshly made and the portions are huge. This is our new favourite spot for Afghan food. Lastly definitely try their Manto and Aashak (Afghan dumplings).

H. K.

Best place for Afghan food. I haven't had rice as tasty as this place. Nice family run business.

Just moved in the area a few months ago. Been driving past this place everyday. Finally i ordered some qabilli uzbaki mahicha (no.13) i was overwhelmed with my order. So hot fresh and absolutely delicious. This will definitely be a regular.This restaurant delivered to a friend's house while I was there. The dishes included rice with bits of lamb (a sort of biryani), rice and lentils, cooked aubergine, and many others. The dishes were seasoned well and fragrant with spices but not hot.

z. e.

lovely people lovely food ;homely environment , qabuli pelau was lovely with tender meat and the side dish (chicken and lentil gravy) that came with it was my favourite. Everything freshly made.

I had food here twice. Both times I was very satisfied with their food. One amazing portion of Qabili comes with a small portion of naan, qorma, turshi and a bowl of very tasty chicken soup! Chefs are amazing Afghan women, so you know you cannot go wrong about this place. The prices are exceptionally low too! Highly recommended.

A. D.

Went here today roughly around half 1 ish I believe;3. Maybe later than that, sorry I'm the girl with the massive sunglasses- just want you to remember me so you understand my appreciation for your services. The lovely man gave me dhaal to put on my Kabul pilau, that mantu was definitely not just a 1 portion; he gave me clearly a very large portion which was extremely kind as well as extra soup and afghan naan pieces and even salad on the side. May God bless you. Made my absolute day. I now finally have a favourite Afghan spot. Please always keep up your humbleness as certain people truly consider excellent customer service. I look forward to visiting you again soon, Ayse Ghorbani 🌹
