Afghan restaurant next to Islington Green.
In the 2007 Good Curry Guide. The menu is very short; the Time Out review linked below cites four meat and four vegetarian dishes. The food is made in advance and reheated to order, so your meal arrives very quickly. The menu varies from time to time but the meat and fish dishes are £6.50 and the vegetarian are £5-£5.50. To drink they have tea, coffee and a minty yoghurt drink, as well as a few beer and wine choices. They have a tray of baklava for dessert. Prices as of December 2009
It's quite small inside, and they do tend to crowd people in. Utilitarian interior with long, pine-colored tables for communal seating. A place for a quick bite to eat rather than somewhere to linger, although they do not hurry you out unless they need the table.
The restaurant is spread over two floors, with one large shared table and one small table downstairs, and more tables upstairs. They take bookings and it is wise to book if you wish to visit, as it can fill up very quickly. They prepare fresh bread each night, but it is generally only available after about 7pm
On Billy's visit he had the fish curry with potatoes, which was lightly spiced and very nice. He got a place at about 6:15pm, but by 7pm the restaurant was filling and there were a number of bookings coming in.
