Editorial Review

Afghan Kitchen South Surrey arrives like a warm invitation from a family who never stopped cooking for guests. The dining room is thoughtfully curated with bold color and traditional touches; there’s a distinct “traditional” side many ask for when they want the full experience. Plates arrive generous and unapologetic — bolani that tears open with potato and spice, charcoal-grilled kebabs, and an Afghan chicken that falls apart in its cumin-scented sauce. The owner and staff move the room with personal pride, slipping a complimentary dessert into an anniversary dinner or recommending the mother’s secret cake with rosewater ice cream. Locals treat it like a living room where regulars bring friends; visitors find an immediate, honest introduction to Afghan home cooking. It’s a small cultural embassy serving recipes handed down across borders, a place where diaspora memory and modern presentation meet on the same plate. Expect lively nights and steady crowds; come early or reserve a table if you want the traditional side.
