"Arshad's Kitchen delivers a vibrant street food experience in Cape Town, specializing in Pakistani-style grilled dishes. The reviewer was impressed by the juicy, masala-coated chicken tikka, the freshness of the naan, and the lively, smoky atmosphere around the grill. The layering of masala and the interactive way of eating—combining naan, chicken, and chips—stood out as highlights. The spot is bustling, especially in the evenings, and the food's wet, spicy character is a signature."
