My First Time in Kabul’s New Luxury Restaurant! I was surprised! 🇦🇫
My First Time in Kabul’s New Luxury Restaurant! I was surprised! 🇦🇫
In this video, I take you inside Namak, a brand-new restaurant that completely redefined my expectations of Kabul. From its stunning architecture and lush garden pods to the country’s first-ever drive-thru, this place feels like it belongs in Dubai or London.
I’ll give you a full tour of the beautiful facilities—including a specially designed section for women—and take you behind the scenes in the kitchen to see how they prepare everything from traditional Afghan Kabuli Palao to Italian steaks and massive American-style pizzas.
Whether it’s the incredible hospitality, the diverse global menu, or the surprising modern amenities, Namak is a privileged slice of Kabul life that you have to see to believe.
What we explored:
The beautiful Afghan garden seating and private pods.
Afghanistan’s first-ever drive-thru experience.
A look inside the high-tech, multi-cuisine kitchen.
A massive feast featuring Afghan, Italian, and Chinese dishes.
A decadent spread of desserts from Pakistan, Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan..

Has anybody told you that you look absolutely amazing in your abaya and scarf 😍 I love how the manager was excited to show you all around his restaurant. Immaculate place💯
امن د پرمختګ لپاره داسې ده لکه کنجي، پرته له امن څخه هیڅ پرمختګ ممکن ندی، افغانستان اوس مهال ډیر امن دی او مونږ افغانان پوهیږو چی اوس مهال څومره بدلون راغلی، زه په ټولو خارجي پانګوالو غږ کووم چی افغانستان کی پانګونې وکړي، دا ډېر ښه فرصت دی بیا روسته شرایط پانګوونې ته سختیږي.

The government needs money badly and put lipstick on the pig is a good start. They need to attract wealth, of course, to get investment in the country. It tries to cover the evil underbelly and the suffering on the ordinary Afghan, especially those NOT living in the city.
I HATE brains. My worst childhood memory, my grandma making scrambled eggs and brains. BLECH. She was visiting us and my brother and I told her to go back to Malibu and she did!! We did feel bad about that but did NOT miss the brains. They are horrible!!!!!!!
Mashallah. Respect the owner. One kiss from me for him . U should be acknowledge and loved one respected by every afghan. ❤❤❤❤❤ For namak owner
How beautiful.decent u r looking in abaya
Afghani food is the best it is simple , not too much herbs and spices you can taste the original taste and there is a soul with the food rather than a mechanical food on plate
Currently the only negative thing afghans are disappointed is women /girls school and education We don’t want anything else everything else is there in this little haven on earth
تشکر از شما که چهره واقعی و امنیت واقعی و مردم خون گرم و مهمانواز افغانستان را به جهان نشان میدهید اولین گردش گری که عاشق مهربانی هایش و ویدیو ها یش استم
I like you're accent
❤❤🙏🙏💖💖
AFGHANISTAN IS DEVELOPING RAPIDLY. GREAT
DOODH PATTI IS MISSING

Just one aspect of the society is shown here. It only caters to rich and the wealthy. ( and tourists obviously)
خانم کری ماشاءالله چاق شدی غدای افغانستان به نظر می رسد که خیلی غذای خوب و قوی است و همچنان آب هوای افغانستان هم بسیار تمیز و پاک است انشاالله که برای همیشه خوش باشید و افغانستان خانه دوم شما است و ما افغانها در خدمت شما هستیم شما را مثل خانواده خود دوست دارم و شما را مثل خواهر میبینم اصلأ احساس غربت نکنید خانه خود تان اگر چزی لازم داشتی برادرت در خدمتت است نگران هیچی نباشی خوش بگزران
Two years ago I left my country Afghanistan to France for having a better life but right now I'm fuking regrette the good life was there already but I didn't know it 😢
How about showing us kabul
There are lots of restaurants better than Europe.
Never mind the food show us kabul l don't like to see people eating
This vedio does NOT reflect life for 98% of the population in that country. Terrorist Taliban have made the country a torture zone for every single citizen. Over 95% of the population live under poverty line. The country is dysfunctional since take over of the terrorists group. Only foreign tourist can explore freely like this British woman. Such a hotel is unique to filthy rich terrorist Taliban criminal commanders or foreigners.
The international community has totally cast a blind eyes to what is going on and deaf ears to millions of suffering.
Terrorist Taliban make arbitrary arrests, tortures in pression. There are over 40 thousand young men and woman from ethnic minority imprisoned just because they are Tajiks, Hazaras or Uzbeks.
Terrorist Taliban commit countless crimes on daily bases from target killings of endogenous people to night raids to residential houses, rape, kidnapping women and girls forced marriage.
Anti-Taliban forces eliminate terrorist Taliban on daily basis, but due to sever restrictions on freedom of speech and media, not much is coming out of the country. Except local contacts who export the real news

Carrie, I live in Australia and I have been to a few countries.. let’s say I HaVe never seen a wholesome restaurant anywhere in the world. Not London and not Dubai. This restaurant needs to be on the World Record. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for visiting the lovely homeland Afghanistan, from USA
I have a question, basically all government travel advice sites say like "do not travel to afghanistan for any reason", is that basically just salty propaganda? do Taliban government WANT tourism ?
Lobby for Taliban
Yet another great video ❤ I wish Afghanistan a better life, where people can live in peace and dignity. Love from 🇺🇸 Fl ❤
