This is a perfect example of a diamond in the rough. It is family run and not a ton of money is out into astetics, but wow. It is delicious. It was the first time we ever had Afghan food, and we were blown away. The lamb salad / kebabs were delicious. We came back 3 times in week for consistent and tasty food. We ate here 3 days in a row. Highly recommend!1

Excellent service, fantastic quality and very reasonably priced. One of the few eateries open till late in Launceston city area. We enjoyed the snack pack mixed meat. The portion size is very good and enough for 2 (light eaters). The person at the counter was very pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended place to eat.

Exceptional, professional and friendly customer service offered from the moment you enter the immaculately clean, bright and well presented premises. Thoughtful, kind and caring customer service, after I enquired, just to confirm, in relation to the possibility of their HP snack pack being gluten free, of which I was informed not. I then placed my order for a Lamb Kebab with the Lot, which was priced at $14.50, declining the meal deal, which was $17.00. I happily paid for my Kebab, then realised what an amazing deal the Meal Deal actually was, with a 600ml Pepsi Max, only costing $2.50 more! Upon commenting such, the lovely young girl asked if I'd like to pay the difference and take up the offer, which I gratefully accepted. The young lady had also asked me if I had eaten their kebabs before, and if I was okay eating the bread, obviously a thoughtful, kind, intelligent young girl, to think of such, and check with me, after checking for gluten free in tge snack pack due to my son being a Coeliac. I was extremely impressed by her thoughtfulness, assistance, nothing was too much or too hard, she was kind, patient, happy AND intelligent, a true credit to Afghan Kebabs Launceston After reading reviews last night, a few commented on meal/portion size, I thought my kebab was HUGE, largest I've ever received, ruler and dinner plate to show size. Hot, fresh, tasty and delicious, made, cooked and ready to go within minutes! Pleasant surroundings, I loved tge decor, crisp, modern, uncluttered and roomy! Plenty of easy parking available in Mortys carpark Complex, 1st 10 minutes are always free, ticket machines available for longer term parking. Street parking also available. Highly recommend this eatery for food, freshness, quality, quantity, amazing expedient and professional service, atmosphere, all round ... 10/10, thank you, I shall definitely return, the kind of business the Community need to be proud of, stand behind and show their support!!

This is the first time I have noticed this shop as i normal have aThai from Mortys when I am up in Launceston and man I am so happy they were shut!!! The Kebab i had ( chicken with the lot, garlic yoghurt and BBQ sauce ) and seriously the best Kebab i have had since I worked at the Kebab shop on George Street over 20 years ago, I even grabbed 1 to take home for my husband so I didn't have to share the last half of mine ( small eater ) and the price was great as well. I think i have a new favourite shop!!! Definitely will be back and just so you know your children's customer service was great as well
