An Afghani burger (also known as the Kabuli burger or the Ayatollah Burger) is an Afghan fast food wrap consisting of a piece of Afghan bread rolled around french fries, along with chutney and other condiments, vegetables, and often sausages or other meat. It borrows influences from Afghan cuisine and was popularized inside Pakistan by Afghan immigrants (especially in Islamabad, where it is considered one of the staple street foods of the city, and Peshawar).[1][2]
