Afghan Marcopolo Restaurant was established 1995 by Mr. & Mrs. Shakoor and their family. We relocated to Mornington in 2000 and has since become a very popular haunt amongst the locals and tourists for its family hospitality and fine authentic cuisine. The Age Good Food Guide has recommended Afghan Marcopolo Restaurant year on year for its fine food, traditional rugs, ornaments and photos covering the walls giving you a real feel of the Afghan culture.
The convenience of takeaway allows you to enjoy your meal by the famous Mornington foreshore which is only a stone throw away from the restaurant or make a reservation and enjoy your night in amongst the warmth atmosphere, where you would think you have travelled across the world.
Afghan Marcopolo dines up to 60 seats with a fully licensed bar with fine wines, beer and spirits available. To avoid disappointment bookings are strongly recommended on weekends, please select the reservations tab for more details. We look forward to seeing you soon to give you the ultimate Afghan dining experience.
