AUTHENTIC AFGHAN CUISINE Fully Licensed (We are not BYO) Afghan Marcopolo restaurant is named after Marcopolo sheep which roam the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Central Asia. Local legend has it the 14th century explorer Marco Polo was travelling through the mountain regions when he came across the enormous mountain sheep. He took one to the village at the base of the mountain to enquire what it was called where it was named after him. The sheep is particularly known for its long, spiralling horns which have been measured having a span up to 140cm. The longest individual horn ever recorded measuring 1.9m and weighing 27kg. For all functions, please speak to our management staff. Maximum capacity is 110 people.
