About Afghan Master Kebab

Skewers sizzle over natural coals on Nicholson Street, turning out charred lamb mince and spiced chicken with real smoke. No shortcuts here—naan slaps the wall of an on-site tandoor before landing hot at the table alongside mountain-sized heaps of seasoned rice. Footscray regulars count on the generous, strictly halal platters when feeding a hungry crew. Plates arrive crowded with tender meats, tangy sauces, and blistered flatbread fresh from the fire.

  • Natural Coal Grilling: Skewers cook directly over natural coal embers for distinct char and smoke.
  • Tandoor Naan: Traditional flatbread is baked to order inside an in-house tandoor oven.
  • Certified Halal Platters: All meats are strictly halal, served in generous sharing portions.
