Kabul Social celebrates the powerful stories and recipes of strong Afghan women in the heart of the CBD.

Helmed by a team of inspiring and courageous female refugees from Afghanistan, we bring the flavours, techniques and traditions of Kabul to Sydney’s CBD. Our team shares recipes from their homes, passed down through generations, from handmade dumplings to fragrant rice dishes and carefully crafted handmade flatbread.

A meal with us extends beyond delicious food inspired by the streets of Kabul. We invite you to be part of a collective movement for good.

Counter service, eat in or takeaway, no booking required.
Delivery and catering also available.

Our Food

Every dish is deeply personal.

From the fan favourite Afghan flatbread, made fresh daily by our Chief of Bread, Yakut, who lovingly hand stretches each piece, to Roya’s famous mantu dumplings and maash palaw, recipes passed down through families for generations - every dish is rooted in the generational cooking of our team, bringing Sydney a true taste of Kabul’s vibrant street food culture
