WHO WE ARE

Bamiyan is a city in Afghanistan located in the Hindukush Mountain Range, altitude of 2,500m. It is surrounded by mountains. It lays approximately 240km north-west of Kabul. Bamiyan is the site of an early Buddhist monastery. Many statues of Buddha are carved into the sides of cliffs facing the city. The two most prominent of these statues were standing Buddha’s, now known as the Buddha’s statues of Bamiyan. Measuring 55 and 37 meters high, they were considered as the largest standing Buddha carvings in the world. They were probably erected in the 4th or 5th century AD. They were cultural landmarks for many years and are listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

In March 2001 the Taliban regime ordered them to be destroyed. One of the world’s greatest and tallest cultural treasures was decimated with artillery and explosives. After the destruction of the Buddha’s, 50 caves were revealed. In 12 of the caves, several wall and ceiling paintings were discovered. It is believed that the paintings were done by artists traveling on the Silk Road, the trade route between China and the West. Bamiyan is also known for its natural beauty and great food.

2020 due to covid Bamiyan Restaurants has been going through many challenges of lockdown and isolations, and our business survived. Unfortunately, after covid we are faced another bigger challenge which is staff shortages. Due to staff shortages, it makes harder to provide a good service and the best food we committed to our customers so from 10th of October 2022 we decided to close our Bamiyan restaurant Norwest location till the staff shortage problem to be solved.
