Had an amazing meal at Mihan! The bread was insanely good—soft, fresh, and perfect for scooping up the delicious palak paneer I ordered. My friend got the chicken tikka, and wow, it was cooked perfectly—super tender and packed with flavor. Huge thanks to our waiter, KD, who totally nailed the recommendations. He even hooked me up with some of their chutney to take home, and let me tell you, it’s so good. I’m really hoping they start selling it because I’d buy it in a heartbeat. If you haven’t been to Mihan yet, go! Great food, great vibes—can’t wait to go back.

Excellent food. Can’t go wrong with the Mantu & sharing platter. The meat is so tender & full of flavour. We will definitely be returning for more!

Great great food and service, we’ve been there twice in 2 weeks we liked it so much. I prefer not spicy and you can ask to reduce spice, original way of presenting naan bread and delicious daal and mango lassi. Can get busy in the weekend but we fortunately didnt have any problems with booking

Great authentic Afghan food! You have to order the lamp dumplings (Mantu dumplings), they were such a lovely treat to share. Highly recommend coming here, portions were generous. And no corkage charge so we brought over a bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner as well.
