" From the moment we stepped into Mantu, the warm aromas of Afghan spices enveloped us. We began our meal with the Mantu dumplings which were perfectly steamed and absolutely delightful. The lamb shank was so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. Each dish was bursting with flavor. The service was prompt and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy yet vibrant. We enjoyed our evening and can't wait to come back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was hesitant to try Afghan food for the first time, but I'm so glad I did! The Mantu dumplings were a wonderful introduction to the cuisine, paired with a tangy yogurt sauce that complemented them perfectly. The Kebabs were juicy and well-seasoned, and I loved how generous the portions were! The atmosphere was inviting, with beautiful music in the background. It's a great spot for families or a cozy dinner date. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Mantu and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We tried a bit of everything from the menu and every dish was a hit! The Qabeli Palaw was perfectly spiced and the flavors reminded me so much of home. The only downside was that it can get a bit busy during peak hours, but the food is absolutely worth the wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Second time visiting and I've got to say, I am impressed once again! The flavors in the Kebab were out of this world, and I'm still dreaming about the Firni we had for dessert. It was so creamy and sweet, topped with crushed pistachios. Service was just as friendly and personal as I remembered. This place truly feels like a slice of Afghanistan in Victoria, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try authentic Afghan cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is without a doubt some of the best I've ever had. My friend and I tried the Mixed Kebab plate along with the Ashuk (dumplings). Each dish was packed with flavor and made me feel like I was enjoying a traditional Afghan meal at home. The staff were exceptionally friendly, explaining each dish to us and accommodating our dietary needs. The only aspect that could improve is the seating area, which is slightly cramped, but overall it was a delightful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Outstanding flavors! The lamb was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The dumplings were delightful as well. The portions were substantial, resulting in a satisfying meal. The atmosphere was busy but lively, just a bit of chaos, but it added to the charm of the place. Worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Afghan cuisine lover, I can confidently say this is one of the best spots I’ve visited! The Mantu was superb, with fantastic flavors and textures. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal. The service was swift, with a staff that shares genuine pride in their offerings. Can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)
