This place is a MUST to visit in Dandenong, especially if you're a carnivore! For $20 between 2 people, we got 4 mixed kebabs - chicken, lamb and shami (lamb mince), a simple salad, 2 huge servings of Afgan bread (one piece is the length of my arm!) and also the softest, most aromatic rice ever made, called palaw (cooked in broth with spices, raisins and shredded carrots). The meats were unbelievably succulent! I honestly couldn't pick a favourite as they ALL blew me away...and a food baby was born.
I've already been back for take away dinner. Rang up and placed my order over the phone, and when I got there, strangely enough the guy knew it was me who placed the phone order. I don't know how??! I didn't tell him my name, nothing. Eerie! But impressive customer service. I see a bright future ahead with Balkh by my side! read more
