About Afghan Charcoal Kebab

Smoky charcoal skewers, freshly fired flatbread, and heaped pilaf define this unassuming Sydney Road fixture. Expect skewers pulled straight off the embers—charred outside, tender within—alongside dips and generous platters built to feed a table. Regulars head straight for the slow-cooked lamb shank pilaf, spooning spiced rice over fresh-baked bread.

  • Charcoal-Grilled Skewers: Lamb and chicken skewers grilled directly over hot coals for deep smoke and tender meat.
  • Fresh-Fired Afghan Bread: Flatbread baked continuously in-house, ideal for scooping up yoghurt, dips, and spiced rice.
  • Generous Family Packs: Multi-skewer spreads with rice, bread, dips, and salad that feed groups easily.
