About Qabuli House

Charcoal skewers, spiced lamb, and oversized flatbreads pulled fresh from a clay tandoor define this unassuming Rooty Hill counter. Locals know to bypass the laminated menus and anchor the table with Qabuli Palaw—fragrant rice tossed with sweet carrots and sultanas beside a tender lamb shank. Main dishes arrive with enormous, complimentary rounds of warm Afghan bread built for tearing into chicken qorma or dragging through tangy yogurt dips.

  • Fresh Tandoor Bread: Breads are baked fresh daily inside a handcrafted traditional clay oven and come complimentary with main platters.
  • Hearty Shareable Feasts: Generous shareable platters feature slow-cooked lamb shanks, spiced rice, and grilled charcoal skewers.

  • Handcrafted Traditional Clay Tandoor Baking

    Bread is handcrafted daily and pulled hot directly from a traditional clay tandoor oven built using generational heritage methods.

    Habib is baking bread in his traditional, handcrafted oven that he learned to build in Afghanistan from his father.

  • Qabuli Palaw

    When you took a bite of the rice with the carrot and sultanas, you'll get a burst of flavour and texture of sweet, sour and crunchy. The sultanas literally burst inside your mouth.

  • Chicken Chalaw

    The chicken skewers taste good. You can choose either 1 skewer or 2 skewers - I recommend go for 2 like we did.

Practical tips on order timing, portion sizes, and kid-friendly choices

  • Allow Time for Made-to-Order Dishes

    Hot Afghan naan and dishes are made to order, which can take up to 20 minutes to cook. Plan extra time when stopping by or dining in.

  • Portion Sizes and Included Breads

    Main courses and platters come with massive complimentary tandoor flatbreads—often large enough to feed multiple people—so adjust your order before adding extra sides.

  • Mild Flavour Options for Families

    If you are feeding kids or prefer non-spicy meals, the seasoned rice dishes like Chicken Chalaw feature gentle herbs without sharp heat.
