62 Laird Dr, East York, ON M4G 3V1, Canada
Afghan restaurant serving authentic, fresh, local, organic and halal foods to perfection. A crossroad at the heart of the Spice Route where people of diverse cultures and languages meet to celebrate a world of flavour and a legacy of homemade recipes.
Nice Dining environment, Friendly and welcomming staff. The food portion was big and came with soup, water galsses and tea.
Delicious Food & Amazing Service! Naan Kabob serves incredible Afghan cuisine with authentic flavors and perfectly cooked dishes. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The complimentary fresh-made tea was a delightful touch. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed the dine in experience. With the bowl should add a pita bread or similar. One of server needs to be more friendly. Overall excellent.
clean place, nice decoration. it's my first time tasting food Afghanistan was really delicious, prepared to the moment and with good presentation, I recommend it!!
Got one of their new Afgan bowls and would definitely recommend! Their Saffron Pistachio ice cream was delicious as well! The service was great too, my server Kylie was very nice and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!
Such a disappointment! Naan Kabob is usually amazing but this experience was disheartening. - We reached the restaurant at 10pm and the restaurant was literally empty. One of the waiter welcomed us and mentioned that they will close at 10:30 whereas on Google it is mentioned that the restaurant closes at 11:00pm. - We ignored that, ordered and waited for the food but suddenly a disgusting smell came from the restroom and it took over the full restaurant. It was an awful experience but again, we ignored it. - When the food came, it looked nice but it was a real disappointment: the bread was weird but it was not the worst, we had disgusting outdated tomatoes to eat, the Bolanis were soggy, the chicken was fine but the meat smelled awfully. - We ate what we could (we spent more than a $100 on that) and kindly told the server when she came, that the food was unbearable. She apologized but said that it comes from the warehouse and apparently the Bolanis are supposed to be like that. But when we asked her to smell the meat she did not mention anything else. Anyway it was a disaster, hoping that no one else lives this experience.
It took so long to prepare our food, between 25 and 30 minutes but totally worth it to wait. Properly cooked, well marinated and juicy kebobs. Acceptable portion size and fresh vegetables and also reasonable pricing. The saloon is good for dining in and free parking js also a good point for all the restaurants in that area.
I went there last month when I visited Toronto. The place is nice and cosy. Suitable for birthday celebrations or any other celebration with friends and family here. The food is good but the service could be better as the food is served quite late. Had to wait for half an hour for our food to arrive. Also the parking is quite limited.
Been to many Naan and Kabob locations but this one is our favourite. It feels like a local restaurant to us and we come here very often. The staff is friendly, especially the manager who is always here trying to help and make customers feel welcome.

Amazing food. Friendly people.
Food is really amazing. Authentic and tasty. Love it .
Food was amazing
Good food and best people. Thanks Food
Delicious every time!
The restaurant is truly a gem! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with generous portions that never disappoint. The service is outstanding David and his team go above and beyond to ensure every visit is enjoyable. The staff (especially Syden) is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Afghan cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere!
Came for the dinner today the service was so good and the food was also delicious thanks to david who serve as
Great Restaurant... Been there twice. Loved it both times.. Recommended.
I don t understand why this place is not packed! We had the kids meals of Shami and meat. I was a bit disappointed by the amount of meat. It seemed smaller than the pictures. The mango lassi was smooth fragrant and soothing. The lamb shank was a bit dry and on the smaller side was well. Lots of rice which I ended up sharing with the kids. Who doesn t love quabli rice ! I wish I took pics. Great ambience and just enjoyed space. Decent parking available
The most tasty food in the city. Very fresh and really big portions. Highly recommend it to everyone.
The food was so delicious
Thank you to Syden, for an amazing service. She served us well and the food came fast and quick. The food was hot and served well, we loved it, Definitely coming again.
Naan Kabob is a great place to eat with both amazing food and friendly service. The staff makes you feel welcome and checks in to make sure you have a good experience. The menu has a variety of tasty, authentic dishes, from their soft, fresh naan to the kebabs. The portions are generous, and everything looks good on the plate. Highly Recommended!
I tried Sultani & Qabli Lamb Shank. It was by far the best kebab I had. I also loved the rice. The taste and aroma were magnificent. Truly recommend this place.
Afghan restaurant serving kebab. Cozy exotic atmosphere with good food on Laird.
Nice place, friendly staff, and affordable.
Everything Amazing, atmosphere the Manager David, and all the stuff, Quite and with delicious food served fast warm and tasty. i would recommend this place.
Great representation of afghan cuisine with handsome amount of food items. The customer service was excellent and loved the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Will recommend going with your friends and family members because you cant finish the food alone. Kid-friendliness: The customer service was lovely. They are good at their job.
Nice food
The Naan breads are literally half the size now, literally. Very dissapointing.
Restaurant is very clean & well organized plus the food quality is very good & delicious. The waitress was very respectful as well as the manager David. The system of advanced payment is not correct as u hv to pay in advance prior to order the food which looks to be embarrassing when you go there with some guests.
Trash. How does this place have so many locations?
Yasmin was great. Food was amazing too
Excellent customer servive, Yasmin served as with smile and humbleness. Food tests amazing. I recommend this restaurant to everyone yo try. Parking: Easly find parking
I recently visited Naan & Kabob, and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with the perfect blend of spices and flavors that really made every dish stand out. From the tender, flavorful kebabs to the freshly baked naan, everything tasted authentic and fresh. A special shoutout to David, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was exceptional. His attention to detail and genuine care for the customers really made a difference. He checked on us a few times to make sure everything was perfect and gave great recommendations on what to try. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Naan & Kabob for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience with amazing food and excellent service. We ll definitely be back! Parking: 4 Parking Spot
Celebrated a 40 th birthday . Staff and owner, David, were absolutely amazing. Food was outstanding . Check them out you won t be disappointed! Luv luv Food : 5/5
Power bowl is filled with vegetables ( it won t get you full ) I thought I ordered a vegetable plate with the amount of veggies they put in the plate
Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Excellent food, good pricing and great atmosphere! Highly recommend
Ekarm she s give me cold water every time But syden she s give me hot water all time lol but she s awesome Food
Excellent customer service
Very nice people, good food, and good size portions. Reasonably priced for the quantity and quality that you get. Would definitely recommend it for a quick bite.
I have been eating at Naan Kabob for years. It s delicious reasonable price and big portions. Recommend the NK grill plate and the spiced fries.
I recently ordered takeout from Naan o Kabab, opting for the mix kabob platter. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food was really bad the rice tasted old, and the kabobs were overly salty. The rest of the meal was equally underwhelming. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
The manager is so nice and kind and the food is so delicious
They are the best . The food , the service, everything was amazing definitely we will come back to this restaurant again
Everything was absolutely amazing from the rice, meat, and salad to the service, which was truly above and beyond. The staff were incredibly nice, humble, and genuinely cared about the customers. You made my day, and my guests from out of town were so happy and satisfied. Thank you!
Naan Kebab offers a delightful dining experience with a warm and inviting atmosphere. On my last visit, I was particularly impressed by the perfectly cooked kebabs and the fresh naan. Supervisor Syden went out of her way to check on our table, making sure everything was just right, which made us feel truly valued. Manager Davids friendly approach and attention to detail made the evening even more enjoyable, as he took the time to chat with us about the dishes we loved. I highly recommend Naan Kebab for anyone looking for great food and excellent service, especially with such a dedicated team.
I visited Naan Kabob Laird last evening. The food and atmosphere was just ok. However, there was a grey haired staff, i believe a manager, he was poking his finger in his nose and he didnt even wash hands later. I guess this is the secret recipe of Naan Kabob.
Clean place, very tasty & fresh food as usual. Tried Chiken Lover + NK Grill. Very responsible and kind people.
Friendly staff, good portions and tasty food.
I love the food here, juicy, tasty, and fresh
All the other Reviews must be fake.. this is the worst naan Kebob in the city. Very poor customer service from the manager . Save yourself the stress and go to another naan kabob in the city.
Really delicious!
This location is one of my go-too spots. I always come here after work with my brother-a few times a month. We highly recommend their shawarma wraps or plates for the meat-lovers. Their service is good and their staff are always friendly.
I visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and was very disappointed with the food. The quality was poor and lacked flavor. The rice, kebob and bread were clearly pre-cooked and reheated before being served. The salad was also very soggy and watery. Nothing was fresh. I do not recommend this place to anyone.
Food was old, cold and tasteless. Not to mention, the mantu was very over cooked, had no meat, and was also soggy. The chicken was also very dry. I m a lover for Afghan food, but this place was not good.
i would highly recommend this place , the food was so scrumptious and finger licking , the service was so good damn good .
We came for dine in and the service was so great and also the food was delicious and perfectly cooked
I loved the atmosphere all the staff were extremely kind the food was unreal good everything tasted so good
I had a great experience at Naan kabob and the food was delicious along with fast service!
Wonderful experience. Zahid was really nice. We had like gathering of 18 people it went really well all our guests were so happy
Good food, but very hot space...
The restaurant doesn t have air conditioning. Today, the temperature is over 30 degrees. I was boiling while having lunch. In addition, the quality of the food isn t the same every time I dine in here. They either have a different supplier or a different chef every day. I am a regular customer at Naan Kebab and visit three other branches in Woodbridge, Mississauga and Scarborough. For example, I ordered dinner yesterday at the location in Woodbridge and the quality of the food and service was much better than this location. I m not coming back here again.
This place is honestly my all-time favourite every time I have it always hits the spot and the vibe is amazing
Meats cooked on a stick over a coal fire. Huge portions. They have management on-site, watching every dish that comes out of that kitchen and making sure its up to standards. These folks are the kings and queens of consistency. Highly recommend.
STORNGLY recommend this restaurant to everyone. Great food Great service Great customer service Food : 5/5 |
Food is fine, service was decent. The low rating is for having no ice. What type of restaurant doesnt have ice? In addition, they dont refrigerate their water. Its an obvious ploy to upsell drinks but its 2024 - cold water should not be a luxury.
Quality food, staff who take it seriously. You wont find an affordable meal of this kind that can beat these guys.
The food is very greasy. I ordered from ubereats,and the driver told me that as he received the order from restaurant,the order was already upside down and deep into oil all over the plastic. He told me twice that it wasnt his fault and it kind of makes sense as I live 1km away the restaurant and the chance that the driver did that is not much. The quality has been reduced alot.
Thank you very much to David for the amazing hospitality and customer service. I came in with a group of 11 and we were accommodated immediately. The food was incredible and the staff was very friendly. 10/10 would love to come again and highly recommend the food.
Awesome food! Parking: Lots of it at the Laird location Food : 5/5 |
Food is really good. Every kabab has a different and unique flavour, Only recommnedation I would give is to increase portion size. Parking: 20 Kid-friendliness: They have drawing papers and colors
Tasty!
Delicious food and great service
I ordered chicken kebab and Tikka. The meat was overcooked and very dry. I wouldnt recommend this location
Thanks Syden for amazing service
I had the Waziri Tandoori chicken with Kofta kabob. I have to say that this was one of the better kabob restaurants Ive been too. Although its a chain it delivered in all categories even the salad was decent. Overall great food , very contented.
Great spot for a yummy meal. Convenient free parking. Mantus are a repeat order. Shami kebab dish was plentiful with salads and dipping sauces. Had to take half of it to go. Enjoyed the refreshing mango yoghurt drink. Super friendly, helpful service. They offer catering as well.
I went here for dinner the food quality was really amazing the customer service was so welcoming. I would highly recommend to do visit. Food
Different from the fast food at mall, this one has more comfortable space and service. The only one thing I didn t like about this place is that everything that s offered for free at the fast food station at the mall, here it s charged. For example, change the regular rice for the other one, chickpea are also charged. Also, the skewers of beef were a bit dry, more than in the mall. It s like it has been cook in advance for a long time. But average, still one of my favourite destinations.
I got takeout for a birthday dinner last night and the food was amazing!
Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun spot to eat with friends or family. Special shout out to Kylie for being super sweet and helpful!
As usual the food yesterday night was awesome. I and my family love this place for dinners. We had went to other locations as well but this location tops the list. The owner is always asking you about anything you need. 100% fresh food
The half tandoori chicken doesn t look like half a chicken. I feel cheated. But otherwise, it was good.
It was good but all the food was a little spicy
My first time here and honestly I m impressed the food is absolutely amazing very filling Perfect flavour and tenderness Costumer service is very nice and sweet Definitely recommended for anyone passing by or trying out Persian food I m coming back for sure
Food was bit dry.
Pretty good sitting area. Such a classy look they gave to it.
My experience was disappointing due to a tipping etiquette. We refrained from tipping at the start of the meal, which led to a lack of utensils and water service from our server. Food is 3/10.
Bad don t recommend
David is amazing. Food was great, served in a timely manner. And the waitress was cute. 10/10 Happy Mothers Day Everyone!
Had gone here for Mother s Day the food was absolutely wonderful would highly recommend to come and try their wonderful dishes !!
I am very lazy to write a review but Nafisas service make me to write the review.This place is GREAT! Food is fresh and delicious. Nafisa had helped me and she is truly an amazing personnel! I will definitely come back soon Customer service: SUPERB Portion : huge Thanks again
I ordered takeout, which was the NK grill that comes with 3 skewers (tandoori and classic chicken, shami kabob) and it was amazing! Also included was a good portion of rice, salad naan, and 2 dipping sauces. Great value for money and excellent Afghani style cuisine. The food was fresh and the food was ready in 15 minutes. The house manager was very polite and courteous. The dining area wasnt the biggest but it was clean, it had an open concept kitchen and a nice ambiance. I am definitely ordering from here again!
I ordered catering from naan kabob for an intimate gathering and David our server was amazing, he took the time to explain the packages to me and when I picked up my order he made sure to place it in the car for me, gave me extra utensils. I m also quite certain they gave us more serving sizes, overall such amazing service and I definitely recommend if you want to cater food in the future!!!
Highly recommended for delicious and good value food.
I arrived at 10 p.m. and the waitress told me they close at 10:30 p.m. The service was terrible
Food is yummy and customer service is top notch. The Filipina lady is attentive to our needs and is very friendly.
The manager in lair drive nan o kabob is very rude and nonprofessional!!!
Delicious food nice place...
Worst service and food quality ever. Plates were dirty, price was so high for the platter and quality was the worst quality ever . Spent 200+ for the worst food quality ever was my biggest mistake ever.
I ve driven by Naan Kabob on Laird umpteen times I m so glad I FINALLY ordered dinner for take out. Parking was no issue. The restaurant is clean and the decor is warm. The service is friendly and efficient. The food just tops it off. The beef lovers meal was flavorful and MORE than enough food. The chana masala was also full of flavour and a generous portion too. The added bonus is the meat and vegetarian options which meet my partner s and my dietary options. Can t wait to order a meal from here again! Highly recommend!
The food was excellent, and I was satisfied with the service. All the staff were friendly, and Im happy with this restaurant.
I had the best meal of my life at this restaurant, and I enjoyed it with my family. The restaurants ambiance was very beautiful, and I was completely amazed by the taste of the food. Im grateful to Mr. David and his team.
Good atmosphere, tasty food, service was okay !
We went for Eid lunch with our family and it was a wonderful experience. From the food to the service to the ambience was just incredible. I would love to go back again. Mr David and his staff made our Eid very special.
Very nice ambience, quality and quantity of the food was good. I would say it was one of my favourite restaurants I have ever been too Vegetarian options: Salad Parking: Side of resturaunt Kid-friendliness: This restaurant makes the day of kids.

One of the servers (manager or owner) was weird and made rude comments/responses to customers. The food was good for Naan Kabob restaurant.
Very good food, great service and perfect ambiance to dine.
Nafisas services was excellent; she provided us service with care. The food was mouthwatering. The place is clean and nice. I highly recommend it Food
Great food, service, and fair prices. Comfortable seating and environment.
Great customer service, super accomoditing and polite, absolutely amazing food with calm environment.
Nice ambiance, staffs are nice and polite especially the Filipina lady. Will definitely come back
The food was excellent!I had the beef teka, with the mango smoothie and it was cooked perfectly.The service was wonderful.Staff is so nice.Overall, this was an incredible dining experience.
I have been a regular customer at this location for more than a year now. I have nothing but praise for this place; its one of the best restaurants by far, with superb customer service, and the food is always fresh and satisfying.
Tasty, I really enjoyed it
Just had an amazing meal the other day and felt like I had to spread the word. The lamb shank was something else - so tender, it nearly melted away at the slightest touch. And the rice? Mixed with carrots and raisins, it hit the perfect note of sweet and savory. Tried something called Mantu too, which are these dumplings that absolutely knocked my socks off. Delicious doesn t even start to cover it. The place has this cool vibe that s all about great food and making you feel welcome. The staff are the kind of people you d want to hang out with, and the whole experience just felt like home. It s spots like this that really put our local dining scene on the map. Can t wait to head back and try everything else they ve got cooking.
Very good food even delivery. Recommend if you re looking for good middle eastern food.
Always great. Fresh!
Went there on friday night, group of 7. Chicken was undercooked. The food was dry over all. I took the plate to the bbq person to cook it further. The person with grey hair small built, said the chicken is cooked, and we cant know if its cooked inside, we cant open the chicken piece. I said would you eat undercooked chicken yourself? He said i will cook another piece but it will be burnt in order to fully cook it for you. He kept saying it will be burnt and black outside. This review is for the laird location. I have been to other locations, no problem. Please dont reply to my review by asking me to send email to certain person. Kindly work on the service and quality of food. And there will be no doubt you will have tons of customers to bless your business. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the restaurant
Good one
Have been ordering online for quite some time from this place and have liked it so far. Came for dine in and the experience was very disappointing. Server is quite rude, she didnt take the order and asked to place the order at the front desk, didnt even serve the water. And, her overall behavior and attitude was very rude. Food was overall pretty okay-ish (almost similar to online), but I definitely dont recommend dining in.
Im going to make this easy for you. Youre reading review because youre thinking of ordering and not sure? Just order. Its incredible. Thank me later! Naan Kabob does something special with their spices and ingredients that just makes everything incredible- I could just eat a bowl of their rice alone. Staff, service, food and presentation is all exceptional. I wish I could give this location an award. Its remarkable.
When your food comes out picture perfect!!! It tasted amazing too, my new fav go to spot for sure
Great service great food Wheelchair accessibility: I would like to see the wheelchair accessibility Recommended dishes Nan Kabob Mix Grill
Zainab was very helpful in preparing an order for an order for a physicians group business lunch! Food was delicious as well!
Recently started coming to this location and the service and food have been amazing every time. If I ever have an issue with my order, the team goes over and above to make things right. Highly recommended.
Great stuff and service with tasty foods. Wish you success. Food
Tonight we dined at this restaurant and had a delightful experience. I ordered the Beef lover platter, the Shami Kabob and Chapli Peshawari truly stood out with their delightful combination of flavors and the perfect level of spiciness. On the downside, the Tikka Kabob was a bit dry, but the overall variety and taste made up for it. The eggplant borani was really tasty. Additionally, Mr. David Najafian s welcoming and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the evening.
Delicious wholesome meal.
Not suitable for dining in. You have to order like in a fast food restaurant. We had to wait for 30 minutes last night even though the lady said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I asked her for additional Sumac and she said she put some in the bags. I didnt find any when I got home.
Today we dined at this restaurant and very delicious all food we ordered.Service is v good and staff well mannered .I really recommend this restaurant
Bad behavior
Not good behavior
The food I ordered was in the menu with bread. When the food was ready, they did not bring bread and charged me separately for the bread, if the food without rice is served with bread.
Good Food, But Hype Overshadows Expectation Theres no denying that the menu at Naan Kabob boasts an array of enticing dishes. We ordered the eggplant borani, bolanee, kabob lover platter and various drinks. The presentation is commendable, and the flavours, while good, lacked the wow factor and didnt quite live up to the tall expectations set by the restaurants reviews. Overall, its a reliable choice for a good meal, but the exaggerated praise might raise expectations beyond what it actually delivers.
They make the name of Afghan food bad kebabs were burn and the food wasn t tasty at all
I should have taken a picture. Very tastefully decorated. Varied menu with vegetarian options. Large servings. Vegetarian options: Loved the Paneer dish.
The old man on cashier is very rude. He needs to learn how to talk to customers.
Parking: Enough space Food
Food was above average. Mango smoothie was worth of shot.
Excellent Food Quality
I got the beef kabob and the meat was chewy like bubblegum. Pre-made package sauce, not homemade. All and all not very impressive. The food was tasty and rice was moist though but I probably wouldn t come back.
Foods always consistent, fresh and tastes amazing! Best Afghan food in the city hands down!
One of the fav place in Toronto, highly recommended. Quality food, big portions, reasonable prices.
Food was delicious and david was so nice we d have to tip him Parking: Nice and spacious Food : 5/5 |
Great service with delicious food!!
One of a recommended restaurant to go out and take your guests yummy foods , great service and convenient location and parking Food
It s a wonderful restaurant with a variety of delicious food. They render a premium service, I m so delighted to have a dinner in this establishment.
This was one of the best service I have ever experienced. The food was amazing and the staff were very professional. Will definitely recommend!
I recently dined at this Naan Kabob, and unfortunately, it was the worst experience Ive had at this franchise. To begin with, the seating process was perplexing; after being seated, we were asked to go up to the cashier when we were ready to order. It felt like a tactic to get tips, and I didnt appreciate it. In most places, you order, sit, and eat seamlessly. My disappointment continued when I specifically requested that they not overcook the meat, but when it arrived, it was charred and incredibly dry. The flavor was far from what I expected. Even the salad, a usually reliable side, tasted different compared to other Naan Kabob locations. It seemed to be missing a certain something that would have made it enjoyable. In conclusion, this dining experience was a letdown, and I have no intention of returning to this particular Naan Kabob location. The service structure and the quality of the food left much to be desired, and I hope they can improve these aspects in the future.
Amazing platter for sharing. Lots of great rice, salad and varieties of meats!
Very tasty food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant for both dine-in and takeout.
Great food
Great kabob place, nice decor, clean, quick, reasonably priced and delicious. Free parking behind the building, recommended if youre in the mood for something different, especially if youve never tried Afghan food before.
The service was great where I felt bad for not tipping because I wasnt expecting table service. I ordered the Chicken Lover meal and there was a lot of take out & deliveries which is why my food ended up being lukewarm at best and the meat was a bit dry. I would recommend the Yonge & Bloor location if you dont mind the drive
The manager (older white haired gentleman) brings down this location which has amazing food. Ive been ordering and picking up here since they opened several years ago and this manager has always been rude, must be thinking Im picking up from Uber eats and not the end customer EVERY time I order here they always miss items (no Channa, no bread, no salad) you name it. Ive called several times and the manager apologizes and says he will add it to my next order- which he never does. Yesterday, we ordered and there was no dipping sauce and the smallest amount of rice for the mains.
Love this option for something different than fast food
The customer service at this place is atrocious. I found hairs and in my food and absolutely no care in the world or offer of a refund. This should tell you all you need to know how they value customers.
The staffs are welcoming and the food here is good.
Marwa was best with her service. One of the best Naan and Kabob locations.
I ordered takeout couple of times and observed they dont serve appropriate portion of the food- Also longer wait due to less staff.Unlike other Naan Kabob outlets.
Great yummy food. Got the platter and were not disappointed. Great big portion.
The best location is Yonge&Eglinton. Just don t wanna leave bad comments here.
Service is not so good One of the guy works there He is so unprofessional and rude to customer He is such idiot ,don t go there if you are respected people , He is Middle Eastern guy
