I had an excellent experience at Lal Qila Restaurant! The biryani was full of flavor with perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat, and the kebabs were juicy and delicious . The place itself is very neat and clean, adding to the pleasant dining experience. To top it all off, the desserts were fresh and delightful—truly the perfect ending to a great meal!

Absolutely worth it. Delicious food. Ample portions. Hot and fresh off-the- grill kabobs that melt in your mouth. Fragrant rice that you can’t stop eating. A flavorful diced salad with fresh ingredients like your mom made it at home. This is authentic Afghan cuisine that’s a rarity in the St. Louis area and a must try. We had a large pickup order and every item was delicious. Best restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hands down, the best Halal restaurant in St. Louis! They offer an amazing dinner buffet packed with flavorful options like biryani, eggplant borani, naan, chicken masala, goat stew, and kabuli polo—plus fresh salad and tasty desserts. It’s a perfect variety that satisfies everyone at the table. This has become our go-to spot for family dinners and friend gatherings. From their regular menu, I personally love the chicken 65, chicken kabob, and the kabob platter. Last time I was there, I tried their barley soup—and it was absolutely wonderful. The restaurant is always clean, organized, and has a welcoming vibe. The staff are incredibly kind, polite, and always smiling, which makes the experience even better. They're attentive and helpful with your order, making you feel truly valued as a guest.
