Madina Restaurant

Mirwais Shandaiz Restaurant
Not surprisingly this is the only restaurant in Kandahar to sport a spinning disco light; don't let the waiters in matching grotty England soccer shirts put you off, as they serve great Afghan food all day: kebab, pulao (rice dish), mutton karai (diced mutton fried with chilli, tomato and spices and served with bread), mantu (steamed meat dumplings) and beef kufta (meatballs with different sauces served with rice). The food is fresh, portions are generous and the local seasonal juices and milkshakes are delicious. To finish off, try the homemade ice cream followed by a cup of chai and a sheesha pipe on the elevated takht area.

The Coffee Shop
The Coffee Shop serves up a wide selection of western café-style food, Pashtun and English literature and pretty good espresso coffee. It has been dubbed 'the Starbucks of Kandahar' in many Western broadsheets and magazines and has just installed four pool tables. It is the first of its kind in the city and a great place to take a break from kebabs and pulao . Here you will find groups of hip, male 20-something Pashtuns sipping lattes and speaking about the latest pirated Hollywood DVDs.

Yasin BBQ Restaurant
By far the best Pashtun BBQ restaurant in town, the Yasin serves up tasty lamb kebab, beef shaslik and BBQ whole chicken in a twinkling, plus it will do meals on request. Cleanliness doesn't seem to be too much of a priority, with the occasional cigarette butt kicking around on the greasy floors, but diners shouldn't be overly concerned as the fare is fresh and comes straight off the scorching-hot charcoal grill.
