Afghan · Brighton
Afghan cooking is the draw here, and it's the kind of generous, hearty food that fills up a hungry family without much fuss — Kabuli pulao that people rave about, lamb shank that falls apart, rich stews, and freshly made naan that regulars single out as the highlight. Portions are big and prices reasonable, with no service charge, so a family meal doesn't sting. High chairs, a kids' menu, halal and vegan options are all covered, and free parking takes one worry off the trip into Brighton. Staff are warm and welcoming, and the green tea at the end is a nice touch. One snag worth knowing: kitchen timings can slip when they're busy, so don't come with ten minutes to spare and a hungry toddler — and if you're after a particular dish, ring ahead to check it's on that day.
