Had Kabuli Pulao with chicken (takeaway). Top stars for how it tasted but will have been even better with either lamb or beef meat. Subtle Afghan style minimalist decor inside with the Farsi/Dari song ‘Man Aamadeh am’ playing in the background. For those who know Urdu/Hindi this song is the original version of ‘Dil khoya khoya’. So yes, great atmosphere and friendly staff. If they were to ever introduce Chapli Kebabs and Tikkas, I’m sure a few dozen of us here around York will not have to go to Leeds for those items. Will definitely visit again with family and try some of their other items on their limited(ish) menu. This place was like a breath of fresh air for me and I will love to see them grow. All the very best! Visit 2: Visiting Chutni is like coming home to family. The warm welcoming hosts, true to their origins, always make you feel special. They are passionate about what they do and always eager to improve and bring in more variety. Dare I say their version of the Kabuli Pulao with mouth watering tender soft meat is a much healthier, much less greasy and less salty one of the original recipe. Something you’d expect when it’s cooked at home by loved ones up in the North-western frontiers of Pakistan and Afghanistan. By the way, that was one pleasantly interesting twist on the peri-peri chicken and we quite liked that too. And the girls loved your ice cream. Great hospitality. Genuine folk serving genuine food made with love and care. Bear in mind it takes a while though because it’s not microwaved food. Their decor, ambiance and the melodic Afghan/Pashtun/Iranian music playing in the background, all this make it a pleasant wait. We will be visiting soon for the halwa poori and channa breakfast.
