A true Afghan-Pakistani street food classic — hand-shaped patties of spiced minced meat, tomato, onion and fresh coriander, pan-fried until crisp outside and juicy inside. This is one of the dishes Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant is most loved for.
Chapli kabab originates from the Pashtun regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and it's one of the dishes that put Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant on the map in Castleridge. Fresh minced meat is hand-mixed with tomato, onion, green chili, coriander and a distinctive blend of crushed coriander seed and pomegranate seed, then flattened into wide patties and pan-fried to order.
The result is a kabab with a crisp, slightly charred exterior and a juicy, herb-flecked centre — bursting with flavour in every bite. It's a favourite for dine-in groups and one of our most popular takeout orders across Castleridge, Pineridge and Marlborough.
