Welcome

Dining at Mezbaan Express

At Mezbaan Express, which means host in Dari (one of Afghanistan’s national languages), we carry forward one of Afghanistan’s most cherished and deeply valued traditions: hospitality. In Afghan culture, being a good host is not just a custom, it is essentially looked at as a social obligation. We believe that every guest, no matter the background, who walks through our doors should feel as though they’ve stepped into an Afghan home: warmly welcomed, generously fed, and respectfully treated.

We’ve been going to Mezbaan Express for a while, and it never disappoints. The beef shami kabab and chicken doner plate are our favourites—flavourful, fresh, and generously portioned every time. Service is consistently friendly and quick, whether dining in or taking out.

"Food tastes great. We ordered the mixed shami kebab. Chicken was tasty and the beef also. Rice was very good and the bread freshly baked. Generous portions and clean place. Keep it up. Highly recommended!"

Delicious food and amazing service! I had the chicken tandoori wrap—it was packed with flavour and a great portion size. The man taking orders was incredibly kind and even gave us a dessert. Hoping they add that tasty milk pudding to the menu soon! Highly recommend.
