Book NowAbout Kabul House
Merrylands locals head here for generous Afghan charcoal grills and fragrant rice served at a furious pace. Tables fill fast with families sharing oversized platters—skewers of spiced lamb shami, tender chicken, and mounds of Kabuli pulao topped with sweet carrots and fat raisins. Hot, blistered naan comes straight from the oven alongside steamed mantu dumplings. Wash it down with a glass of house-made doogh to cut the savory smoke.
- Kabuli pulao & mantu: Mountains of spiced basmati rice come finished with tender meat, sweet carrots, and raisins.
- Large sharing platters: Family platters come sized for five adults alongside hot, blistered tandoori flatbread.
- Swift kitchen turnaround: Grilled lamb skewers and hot entrees land at the table within minutes, even during peak rushes.

Before you head over
Helpful advice on parking, group ordering, and busy peak hours.
Plan Ahead for Peak Parking
During peak periods, on-site parking can fill up, so plan to park on a nearby street and walk about 5 to 7 minutes to the restaurant.
Order Family Platters for Groups
If visiting with five or more adults, opt for the family platter with rice and fresh tandoori bread to comfortably feed the table with generous portions.
Account for Weekend Noise
The dining room gets bustling and can be loud over the weekend, so visit during off-peak hours if you prefer a calmer, quieter meal.
