Zaiqa Afghan Food Catering

The flavours of Kabul, by the platter.

Our signature Afghan menu, slow-cooked, generously spiced and fully halal. Every menu is bespoke; these are the plates our guests ask for by name.

Qabili Palaw

Afghanistan’s national dish, basmati steamed over tender lamb, crowned with caramelised carrot, raisin and almond. Served by the platter.

Mantoo

Hand-folded dumplings of spiced beef and onion, steamed and dressed with garlic yoghurt, tomato-lentil sauce and dried mint.

Aushak

Delicate leek-and-scallion dumplings under cool garlic yoghurt and a rich minced-meat sauce, finished with dried mint.

Chapli Kabab

Flat, coriander-flecked patties of spiced minced beef, fried crisp at the edges and served with fresh naan and sumac onions.

Murgh Kabab

Saffron-and-yoghurt marinated chicken, skewered and charred over open coals until smoky, golden and tender.

Kabab-e Barg

Marinated lamb seared over open flame until blushing and juicy, kissed with salt, lemon and a whisper of smoke.

Borani Banjan

Silky fried aubergine layered in a garlic-tomato sauce and topped with minted yoghurt, the table’s favourite vegetarian dish.

Firni

Rosewater milk pudding set with cardamom, crowned with crushed pistachio and dried rose, a delicate, fragrant close.

Sheer Khurma

The festive Eid pudding, fine vermicelli simmered in saffron milk with dates, pistachio and almond.

Vegetarian, halal and bespoke menus available across every package.
