Reviews of Balkh Restaurant

A. I.

Very nice Afghani food..wonderful taste..friendly staff and reasonable price

D. E.

We got a takeaway deal including a mixed kebab, half chickens, rice and curry sauces. We thought it'd be decent but we were surprised how good a quality everything was for the money we paid. Not finest gourmet but great authentic comfort food Fresh chicken and subtle fragrant flavoured rice (generous portion) was great. The curry sauces were probably the standout items and were packed with flavour which complemented the meat and rice. The veggie curry was surprisingly as flavourful as the meat curry. Slight cons was despite the mixed kebab being tasty and smokey the portion size wasn't so generous. Some of the the food wasn't piping hot (obviously as it had to be delivered). Overall this little gem really surprised me! Recommend it!

It was my second visit to Balkhash and this time I went with friends. The food was perfect as expected and Latif looked after us very well. Thank you.

It's not just food ...You get to experience a different culture of Uzbekistan and Iran...1000% best

Food as always was very very desi. Authentic Afghani flavours I remember from Pakistan's countless Afghani restaurants. The Lamb tikka boti , the Chappali Kabab , hell simply the naan itself ( this is not the Naan bread - a highly starchy and bready proposition - this is the lighter flakier version). The atmosphere and location are where the star is lost , but if you can look beyond that , I would recommend this place as a good joint. I always take away but one could sit there to eat too.

Food is good bur the prices are too much.

I was very intrigued when I saw the name of the restaurant ''Balkh'' as it is connected with the history of my country Bulgaria as well and I have heard a lot about that proud nation which gave also the name of our longest mountain ''Balkhan'', hence Balkan peninsula and also the place where my ancestors came from. The food was more than delicious, I was met with enormous hospitality and felt home. We had a nice chat, too.I hope to visit it again when I go back to Southampton

I came all the way from Brighton to eat here. I found the food to be very healthy and delicious. Very nice nan bread, salad, kebab and mahicha. The Resturant is well decorated. The manager and the waitress who served us were very nice and had excellent hospitality. I would recommend this place for everyone.

Quite good as we ordered online once

A very nice restaurant with lovely atmosphere I only had Afghan lamb kebab and rice but it came with a bowl of chicken and chickpea soup and a small salad. I have had kebabs in Iranian, Lebanese, Turkish and Greek restaurants but none were as tasty as this will return to try something different next time.

Came here with my cousin. Really nice food and the atmosphere was nice too. The customer service was good, they didn't hav3 any soup which was replaced with a curry. The chicken was soft, succulent and falvoursome. They give a lot of rice, i was so full from having half of the plate. I took the rest home. This place is hidden in Southampton and needs more recognition.

M. A.

Love the taste of food. Staff was very nice and cooperative. Highly recommended .

p. b. C.

Got a takeway from here and was probably the best takaway I've had. The shawaya chicken was extremely tasty, the qabeli rice was very very good, great kofta and the mixed vegetable curry was a delight. Only the second takeaway ive ever recommended on Facebook.

R. W.

The food was very nice. The only place in Southampton with best food . The owner of the restaurant is so gentle and humble. Hospitality on its peak❤️

M. M. A.

I can say more than 5 star. We live in Gosport but we order from Balkh Restaurant Southampton. Food was amazing 👏 friendly staff specially Restaurant owner is very sweet and friendly.

m. e.

Nice sitting place. Food was ok and portions were comparatively smaller, ordered something more to fill ourselves and could hear the staff making fun of us in the kitchen,though lady working there was very kind.

N. H.

This is a great restaurant, I would definitely recommend it. The food is rich and full of flavour – it's absolutely delicious! The Qabuli rice with lamb shank is the best! I also like the tarka dal, it's spicy and filling. Another great thing about this restaurant is that they make freshly squeezed orange juice :) The staff is always really friendly, and it's a nice place to sit down for a meal. Best restaurant in the area for sure. Thanks!

S. A.

Having gone to alot of afghan restaurants, I can say the food was alright and the customer service was alright as well. The lamb karahi was more indian than afghan karahi but I do look forward to trying other food there. Its a good place and a great concept of bringing central asian food to Southampton. I would recommend it to any one who would like to try some central asian cuisine
