Wakha Wonder

Fantastic Afghani Affair

Wakha, the critically acclaimed restaurant chain that specializes in Afghani and Shinwari cuisines, has launched its latest diner at Jumeirah, Dubai. The move reflects the chain’s aim to expand its market reach and invite customers, new and old, to experiment with native ingredients, comprise great flavor combinations and enjoy a unique and memorable dining experience.

We started off with the Wakha Hawaiin, which was an excellent tropical drink, served in a half cut pineapple, delicious taste. 

The Wakha mixed platter was a delightful dish which had mutton, chicken, lamb chops, served with flavoured jasmine rice. This was  good enough for 4 adults, the flavours were terrific as they use natural ingredients such as green spices, tomatoes, salt and lamb fat or fresh butter while all of their  signature cuisine is 100% halal.

The most famous items from the Shinwari cuisine was: Shinwari lamb karahi – fresh lamb cooked in natural lamb fat, tomatoes, green chillies and salt; Shinwari chicken karahi – fresh chicken cooked in natural lamb fat or fresh butter, tomatoes, green chillies and salt; Shinwari lamb tikka – charcoal-grilled fresh lamb seasoned with salt and natural lamb fat; Dumpukht/Rosh – succulent fresh lamb meat cooked on a very low flame in its juices and bone marrow for three to four hours with potatoes and seasoned aromatic herbs.

Overall an excellent dining experience in Jumeirah, Authentic Afghani.
