About Afghan Kebab House

This no-frills Lalor diner grills skewered meats to order over live charcoal and pulls fresh Afghan flatbread straight from the heat. Portions run massive—expect heaping platters of lamb tikka and shami kebabs over fragrant rice that easily feed families and yield takeaway boxes for tomorrow. While the grill cooks at its own deliberate pace, staff often send out complimentary bowls of soup. Regulars also stop by for slow-simmered regional staples like kaleh pacheh.

  • Charcoal-grilled to order: Skewers and flatbreads are prepared to order over charcoal instead of sitting in warming trays.
  • Generous family platters: Family platters arrive mounded with grilled skewers, aromatic rice, and bread at gentle prices.
  • Traditional Afghan specialties: Serves traditional regional specialties like slow-simmered kaleh pacheh alongside grilled meats.

Why Choose Afghan Kebab House

What diners value most about Afghan Kebab House

  • Fresh Charcoal Grilling Made to Order

    Skewers are grilled directly over charcoal upon ordering alongside freshly baked Afghan bread rather than held in warmers.

    Probably the best kebab I had in Melbourne so far. The problem is you need to wait for long time due to they don't pre-cook. Also you cant miss there home make bread.

  • Generous Value for Family Dining

    Platters come loaded with generous portions of spiced meats and aromatic rice at value-driven price points that easily feed groups.

    $50 for a smal family platter and the two of us ( both adults) still had leftovers for takeaway. I can dine here over and over abain amazing charcoal meat.

  • Traditional Regional Flavor Profile

    Spiced kebabs and traditional stews capture the rich culinary heritage and aromas of genuine Afghan cooking.

    The taste and aroma of food will drag you to the traditional essence of Afghanistan/Arab. Purely a traditional taste one could find being away from home.

  • Comforting Homestyle Reassurance

    Hearty, satisfying spreads evoke the familiar comfort of homestyle Afghan cooking that keeps patrons returning.

    One word - Authentic. The food is a mix of Afghan and Persian. Great prices for what you get - their amazing bread is only $1. The only suggestion I have is to have better table layout; current table and chair configuration is very uncomfortable. The delicious food has made me a regular

Before you head over

Practical dining advice on timing, portion sizing, and essential sides.

  • Expect a Wait for Made-to-Order Grilling

    Meats and bread are prepared fresh on charcoal without pre-cooking, so expect a modest wait during peak service. Plan ahead or call in advance if you are on a tight schedule.

  • Plan for Abundant Portions

    Individual meals and group platters come in substantial portions with rice, often yielding leftovers. Order thoughtfully or be prepared to take home extra.

  • Add Freshly Baked Bread to Your Order

    Freshly baked bread is made on the spot for a small add-on price ($1 to $2). It pairs directly with the kebabs and platters, making it well worth including with your order.
