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.
