Afghan Najimi Restaurant 305 Thomas Street, Dandenong, Victoria 3175

"Consistency is the key ..and these folks have it for sure! As always, the food is great! Second to none Service is friendly and you don't need to even prompt the staff. Keep up the great work"

"Quite possibly the worst food I've had in my entire life . Ordered mix kebab plate and meat was dry as a rock and most likely to have been warmed up and served on a stale Afghan bread mind you this plate is $23 . Quantity was more likely to be enough for a bird not a human . Next up ordered Mantu . Same thing , served in a small bowl and costing yet again $23 and it was dry and tasteless . Kabuki palau overpriced and quantity was so less I could not believe. Ordered saag which seemed to be literally boiled and then served to have maybe been 2 spoonfuls. No salt no nothing . Shami kebab was raw and not cooked . When explained to the head chef he basically has no answer to anything. $107 later I could have eaten at maybe Maccas and would have been satisfied. Save yourself the money"

"I feel rather foolish because I mistaken this place as the other Najimi restaurant. I was wanting to try Najimi restaurant and saw the name at this restaurant’s window and went in. It’s not until when I was leaving I saw all the shops/restaurants next to it and realised the one I wanted to go to is the green one, not this one. I dont eat Afghan foods much so I am not an expert in Afghan foods or the pricing. The menu was pretty simple, we went with combination meat (chicken & lamb), and the eggplant dish. The girl at the counter couldn’t speak English very well, so plus me not familiar with Afghan foods, there might have been misunderstanding with the dish. Nowhere in the menu it mentions rice other than the biryani, which we don’t want. So I asked if they just have plain rice, and she might understand it as we want extra rice, us not knowing that the meat dish comes with rice. So I think we ended up with way too much rice. The meat was beautifully cooked and tender, but my favourite was the chicken. However I have to say the meat is rather stingy. The eggplant dish was very tasty and had loads of sauce with it. Perfect to eat with the bread. Also had banana & avocado juice, which is more like smoothie because they were very thick. Both are very nice. Also had their ice cream that stacks up, that was beautiful and light. Overall happy with the foods, although more meat will be nice."

"This is another Aghani restaurant we tried recently along Thomas St, in central part of Dandenong town, known for ethnic food from Afghanistan. Its interior is decorated by posters showing Aghani landscape. We ordered a few known dishes and ended with delicious sheer yakh, the local handmade desert which is ice-cream like and the highlight of our meal. For us, points lost for the dry cold accompanying bread which are typically made fresh in other Afghani restaurants and also the unimpressive side salad."
