Great food owner was great had a good chat with him. Tandoori chicken was bomb. -London ontario guys
I’ve gotten delivery and catering from here a few times and they are SO good! Best chapli kabob in Canada. Everyone at my party asked me where I got the food from because it was so fresh, delicious and authentic. Bamiyan and naan kabob are a joke compared to these guys. Even my picky eating 2.5 year old daughter loves their food and we are not even Afghan. She’s currently eating the chicken and rice, rubbing her tummy and saying “mmm yummy!” 😅 Last time my catering order’s etransfer got lost in the mail and they still managed to come through with just a few hours notice! Absolutely delicious.
Food Quality: The taste of the meat was good, and the naan had an authentic Afghan touch, but the portion size was disappointing. For the price, we expected more than 4 small chunks of meat in either main courses, and half of lamb were mostly bones. While the tenderness of the meat was commendable, it didn't justify the overall value. Service: The service was basic. Nothing exceptional, just what you'd expect, but nothing stood out as particularly welcoming or attentive - that would make me return. Value for Money: Very expensive for what we received. When you pay a higher price, you expect a decent portion, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. Given the portion size and quality, it felt overpriced. Ambiance: Subpar ambiance with bad lighting and cleanliness. It didn’t feel inviting, and the overall setting left much to be desired in terms of comfort and atmosphere. Overall Experience: While the meat was tender and the naan had a nice Afghan touch, the experience was underwhelming. The small portions, especially with so many bones, left us disappointed. Also, from what I saw in the leftover section, it seemed no one was finishing their rice, which raises a red flag. Not likely to return.
First thing first the food was good. We took Chapti kabab( The dinner). The rice was regular. Like the taste of the kabab. Those 2 sauces were good( like the red one) and salad was pretty fresh but the best thing I loved the dressing on the top of the salad. Overall 8 out of 10. The owner challenged me about the taste and i told him i will gave him a honest review and here it is.
One of the best Afghan Kebob in TO. Been my fave since back when we were located at Islington/401 for our lunch fare. Everything is just cooked and grilled right. Salad also taste delicious compare to other similar Afghan salads. Price-wise, affordable and they still have their lunch specials which are priced at $10.99+tax. Today, ate the Sultani Kebob and it didn’t disappoint my cravings. All in all, highly recommended when your nearby Islington and Highway 401.
I ordered the Chicken Kebob Dinner. - The rice had great flavours - The chicken was not very flavourful. However, you could tell the quality if chicken was good - The garlic sauce was subpar, however in combination with the naan, it is very good - The salad is very lacking in flavour and size - The naan on it's own is big but not flavourful - Pricing was reasonable for the size of the meal. Nothing to keep you going but enough not to scare you away All in all, I would try this location again, however will getting a different dish
Oh what a gem this place is for meat 🍖 and their naan bread is so fresh. It's quite simple to order... choose meat type then choose either naan with salad or the rice dinner. The rice has raisins which at first I was unsure about until I tasted it 😋 and now it's my favourite. I suggest the lamb shank. Love this place.
Tasty, fairly healthy and well priced! Fresh delicious food that perfect for dining in or to go! They even put the salad separately if you get it to go so it doesn't get soggy lunch time special is good value! (12pm to 3:30pm)
Great food, great service! Proud, hospitable owner. Fresh, authentic, amazing!
Authantic Afghan Food and Nice Owner
If there is an option of zero star I will give them. Pathetic service portioning too low and owner itself is a rude guy ever in canada . On lambshank dinner low portioning and dont even give a naan with them .
They were awsom and so friendly.
Food is great. They were pretty good on time.o people are nice and prices were reasonable.
I love the grilled tomatoes!
Best Afghan Food in GTA It is 12 years since I moved to Mississauga. Afghan Kaboob is my defacto restaurant to eat out and take friends and family to Food : 5/5
No healthy food
Abida was so helpful and kind when hosting us! Food was also delicious & portions were great! 10/10 would recommend & thank you Abida!
The prices here are very unreasonable, you can get a full meal at a nice restaurant for $30.
Well seasoned , delicious food
I had the lamb shank dinner and it was amazing. Great service and the food came fast! Would come again.
Awesome food
Terrible customer service we ever had with my family friends, as a matter of fact I m Afghan and invited some of my white Canadian friends to this restaurant for the first time on June the 7th Friday night 2024 and one of their receptionists was extremely rude and characterless and I kindly request the owner of the restaurant to get rid off him ASAP hopefully I will find his name and will share it and eventually would definitely not recommend this place for afghans to go with their friends.
Weve had beef and chicken dinners and wraps. Weve had the Mantu. Everything, and I mean everything, is delicious here. They seem to put pride into their cooking, and it comes out in the taste. Ive heard the lamb is amazing, so thats next on my list of things to try. You cant go wrong here!
I have tried a couple of dishes now and they were all wonderful. The food is delicious, very reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. I will definitely be going back.
I ordered from Uber eats, it was over priced, 30$ for Chicken shami dinner, it was burnt and tasteless. They doubled the price for free item, cheap trick from cheap Afgan. Never again.
Fav place...amazing fresh food will have your mouth watering before you take a bite
Best Afghan food spot I have ever tasted!
I love this place
I had ordered from uber eats app. There was an offer which was if you get one, you will get one free. So, with the hope I will receive 2 lunches, I chose that specific food which had offer on the menu( lentils or Dall with bread). But,they had sent me only one! I felt it was not fair. When I called them, they said it was my own fault! When they say if you order one of this item, you will get another one free! It means I should receive 2 items! This is logic of an offer or promotion I ordered several deals or offers from other restaurants, and I never had such problem and they sent me 2 foods.
Great food
The food is always fresh and really good. Authentic Afghan food. And the service is always great and always friendly Food
Great authentic food, good portions
Amazing authentic afghan food. The owner is so passionate and welcoming we love coming here! Never a bad experience! Everything on the menu is delicious, especially the mantu.
Really good quality food! I m here pretty much every day. Highly recommend it!
Great taste, meat was super juicy. This was our second time. In taste, meat tenderness, and staff attitude, it beats the other big chain kabab houses. Highly recommended
Food Taste so good Great Customer Service Small sitting area Reasonable Prices Food : 5/5 |
Authentic Afghan food. Good value for money. Delicious taste. Has Afghan special dumplings, Mantu, as well. The owner was such a kind gentleman. He brought us cardamom green tea after lunch free of cost and was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go again for the yummy Afghan food.
Absolutely delicious, freshly made kebob. Excellent value. A clean establishment with friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone. Parking: Large free parking lot in a strip mall.
If you are in Etobicoke, you will never regret going to this restaurant. Their Chicken Shami Wrap and Lamb Shank dinner is highly recommended.
The worst restaurant I have eve gone to the owner and lady in front they re the worst people I have ever meet. Please be careful with them
Oh my god it s really very racist service once they see you as black they really change even my friend from India was supposed about how they talked to me. Will never go back there or even order something
This place is great and very nice and fresh food. The owner is very nice and Kind and treats customers with very respect. I placed uber orders many times and they are great. Loved the food. Must visit
Poor quality food. The dishes does not taste like Afghan authentic food. Food isn t fresh. Horrible! Very disappointed.
This has been one of my favorite go to restaurants for middle eastern food. However, cant ignore the shady practice that are now involved in. The chicken kebob dinner was 14.35, has now changed to 24.79 under the disguise of Buy 1 Get 1 offer in Uber eats. What a shame
The food here is so well marinated. I tried the chicken kabobs....and oh wow! A must try ! staff are friendly...and the food is also really good
We love Afghan Kebob. I m sad that they closed in our neighbourhood at Burnhamthorpe! I would get dinner there almost everyday after work. Beef korma, tandoori chicken, sultani kebob dinners were our go-to items - all so good!! I m sure this location is the same so I want to show support. *Good kebobs, rice, salad, bread, everything always made fresh to order.
I absolutely love this place. The food is top-notch. Their portions are large enough for 2 people to eat. The people who make the food are super friendly. I once even went to pick up a delivery order, and the owner gave me their Naan to eat while delivering.
So tasty food
Very rude guy (the owner - old guy with white hair), he acts like he is doing you a favour without realizing that he lives out of the business people give him (buying his food) very arrogant and disrespectful -he thinks he is Ford or Ontario but placed here in restaurant to sell food!!!!
Good food not the greatest and service just ok as a fast food restaurant
And I always come back. The food is to good!
Afghan Kebob Cuisine is so good! We went there for the first time and were greeted by Ahmed, the nicest man! He helped us pick out what to eat and we loved everything. My uncle said it was the most tender beef hes ever had from a kebob restaurant. Thank you again and we cant wait to come back. 10/10
Hands down the best afghan food around. My go to spot. Highly recommend the tikka kabob dinner but everything they sell is good. Been going here for many years. The prices used to be good, but its getting more expensive now so I dont go as often as I like to.
Blessed food, hidden gem.
Thank you to Ahmed and the crew at Agfhan Kebab Cuisine. Uber Eats had s promo, and it wasnt clear on how to apply the promo. After realizing that I didnt receive the promo and called the restaurant. Ahmed explained as clearly this happend to other customers and provided a solution. I reordered the from them again and Ahmed lived up to his word. We even had to customize our order due to dietary restriction and Ahmed sent it exactly hpw we asked! The service is great , managemnt is caring and the food is excellent! Pay for thr extra hot sauce its worth it!!!!
Tried this place for the first time this week and it was great. Large portion of rice, more than enough for 2 people. Tried the chicken tikka, chicken kebob and the other chicken one (similar to chicken kofta) - overall its great. Salad was pretty basic to be honest - just typical salad with coleslaw dressing essentially. Wish they would put the sauce on top of the food rather than on the side as well, but still more than enough. Would definitely go back and try it!
Salam aleykum afgan brothers, I m Turkish guy from Russia, today i came to your restaurant to get food for Iftar, you guys are best, food was delicious, looks good to, inshalla your business get much much better, I wish you the very best in your business, in your life, your health and well-being in this nice Ramadan days. Thank you guys.
Great experience , definitely recommended the food .staff were very pleasant and polit even busy with orders, the food was excellent
10000 times better than Bamiyon Kabab, Kandhar, Afghan Cusine all of these hold nothing in front of it! I stumbled here by accident 40 minutes before they were closing and must say beyond exceptional, high quality, fresh, reasonable prices. They served us with fresh naan, kabob , rice; shanks , manthu . no remicrovaed food. all fresh and steamed. The owner was very welcoming and friendly hearty. Much success to them!! Definitely coming back from Oshawa for this!
We order Lamb Shank, Kabuli Pulav and Chapali kebab. The food was not as we expected. I have tried afghani food at many places but this place was the lowest in quality and quantity. I don t think I will go again to this place. Quality 3/5 Quantity 2.5/5
Ordered thru Uber last night, and I have to say the food was DELICIOUS. The flavours were on point and the ingredients tasted fresh. Good chance that Ill be ordering again tonight :)
The best halal kebabs for all!
I have been here different times in the day, lunch, dinner, late night before close, and the food & service is amazing. You will wait because they make everything fresh. Their staff are so friendly, and their food is even better. The steak, ground beef, chicken, so tender, seasoned perfectly. Hands down best Kebob I have eaten, blows competition out of the water. Please please dont change anything, food quality is perfect!
Best place every, I do not regret at all, amazing people there were so kind , I loved it so much, if you are looking for somewhere to eat, I 100% recommend this place
Ordered dinner, arrived in time and tasted delicious
Chicken uncooked
As promised good food and hot love the fresh breads 100% recommended
Very nice restaurant with welcome people
Delicious food Large portions Food
Never disapointed good food grest people
We got Lamb Shank and Tikka Kebab. We enjoyed it fully. Kebab was well marinated and very flavorful. Lamb shank was also fell right off the bone, very tender and tasty. I will try this place again.
The food was absolutely amazing! THE BEST. The quality of the food was great, the portion was great and also the price was amazing. I would definitely come back here. Clean place as well and a very nice woman who took my order. 10/10
Professional services
the chicken was not fresh raw and stale
Always delicious always amazing!!!
The food and service here is amazing. Highly recommend.
Very helpful and the food is delicious
The owner of this place is absolutely delightful! So kind and friendly and added to a wonderful experience. And then the food! It was absolutely delicious and so satiating! I will definitely be going back!
This is by far the most authentic Afghani place I have visited. The Kabuli Rice are just as they are back in Afghanistan, and so are the Chapli Kebab. A must go place if you like Afghani cuisine.
They says your order will be ready in 8 mins but they will make you wait 20 mins.
Ive order the lamb chops on Uber eats this place is the most generous when it come to potion and very very delious the owner is amazing and respectful and know the value of his customers guys I dont make reviews but for this place youhave to try it yourself and you will be amazed thank you again its very addictive
The BEST. Love this place so much very generous portions and the food is SO GOOD. The bread is always so fresh soft and baked to perfection every time!! The meat is always so juicy and full of flavor and the red/spicy sauce that comes with the food is a really really good touch to add to the food
Good food
My favorite restaurant. When I come to work, this is my top choice. Delicious food with big portion. Very nice and hard working people. Like to chat with them.
The food is amazing, smells great, the staff were nice in accommodating our time and giving us advice. nice seating area, overall, highly recommended.
Stop by there for lunch as I love Afghan food. One of the few restaurants that have a CLEAN kitchen, very friendly staff and generous portions. Would highly recommend to anyone thats hungry and looking for tasty afghan food.
The Afghan daal with naan and rice was lovely! And great portion too, thank you!
Lamb shank -5 Beef kofta -2 Place is not very clean. Very expensive compared to others around. Food : 3/5 |
Love this place. Fresh and tasty. Very nice owner.
Quality food you wont regret
Great food. If you enjoy kebobs, this restaurant is for you. They have a lunch special, so for the best prices you should go during lunch. Had fantastic beef kebobs. Everything is made fresh and the restaurant is clean and friendly service. Everytime I have a craving for middle eastern food this place comes to my mind.
Ordered on Uber Eats. They had a promotion for lamb chops dinner (buy one get one free). The item was charged at $36.00. Upon ordering the buy 1 get 1 free option, they only sent one item. All in all with delivery I paid $55.00 with Uber Eats. When I called to speak to the owner, he said that I had only ordered one and the mistake was mine. Really?? $36.00 for a lamb chops dinner?? Then he hung up the phone. When I called back he now said that it was Uber Eats fault. Now we have to share 1 meal between myself, my wife and daughter. Just pathetic and sad that they are scamming people.
Taste great
Good service. Kabobs are good. Rice needs some improvement
It was a nice place. Visited there for the first time
I just order they bunt the kaboob...are you blind before packing it didnt you see the its burnt Make sure dont order from them they can ship anything
Got the chicken tikka wrap and it was delicious. Friendly service & yummy food. Will definitely be back
Great Afghani food. Highly recommend it.
First time here with my fiancé, food is super juicy not too over cooked I ordered Sultani Kabob dinner plate delicious!! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Ive had better Afghani at larger franchises (Bamiyan, Naan Kabob). This place is decent but there are some flaws. Chicken kebabs were all burnt. Rice is flavorful but quite oily. Side salad is not good at all - watch out for raw onions if that aint your thang. Spicy sauce is not spicy at all - more like a salsa. Minced chicken is flavorful and was the highlight.
Overall taste was good. I tried several times. They have lunch menu with discounted price within 3pm
Told the store I was going to pick up my order for an event at 11am and she started to cook after 11am I seen her start cooking, from washing the rice to grilling the meat. They are not efficient at all and disorganized. I sat there for over an hour, ending up getting my order at 12:10pm and was extremely late to the event (no one got to eat the food the event was over). I would give 0 stars but that s not possible so I give you a 1. Disappointed, do not recommend.
Very good food!
Not delicious at All. Waist of money
Delicious ... Love it
Tasty is definitely worthy! They serve a very good quantity of food in every plate for a good price. They take time to make your food in the moment, so prepare to wait for your fresh food thats also tasty and worth every minute waiting. They have a little prayer area in case youre rushing with your time and the prayer got you there, and thats amazing love it!!! Why not 5 ? Because the washroom is nasty is the only down side I find. Keep the good work guys! And please wash your washroom
Great food and prices
I wish I can give it zero star the new woman has very big attitude I m never going there again I go every day with my husband there but never again
The best food and great customer service ever, she did offer extra food which I have never heard before in any restaurant. Really good Kabab and rice definitely recommend.
Food is amazing. Will be back again.
Very poor hygiene staff, the gentleman on the front disk taking order is really rude, took my order while touching his sweaty neck and went to make my order without washing his hands, I trashed the food
I never write reviews but this place made me write this one star review, we went there with my 3 friends, when we got home all of us got food poisoning and we got sick for couple of days, if the owner and manager see this you can contact me and i would be happy to share what we have been through
The lamb shank with Qabilee Palow as well as the chicken Kebob dinner is the best that I ve had and I ve been to several different Afghan restaurants in the GTA. None quite compare to how flavorful the food is here. Staff are also very welcoming and friendly every single time I visit and I have been coming here for 10 years.
The worst Afghani food I ever had. The rice was cold and stale and tasted weird, the meat was uncooked and just burnt on the outside. The portion were too small! You better off eating at McDonald s than there stale food!!!
We ordered 2 meals and the food very old and not safe to eat it and there is bad smell coming from the plate Not recommend at all
Well prepared and well portioned. Definitely a place to return to
Excellent sandwiches
I bought two meals, the Kebob was not cooked completely.
Just avoid it. I was desperate and saw this place as I m driving. I asked for the lunch special wrap but she ended up charging me for something else more expensive. When I addressed the misunderstanding she wouldn t even listen to what I had to say, didn t offer a solution and continued to speak over me.
Delicious and hot served, excellent food. Had shami kebob and tikka kebob, both were great. The quality of nan is amazing it is too tasty.
Chicken is burnt. Naan bread is raw Not even cooked. Guy said 10mins till food is ready. Waited 35mins. .
The food was decent but they have the worst customer service. The old guy with glasses is very rude and unprofessional. I will never go to this place again.
I havent been back in 8 years Food is still as amazing. I was so happy they survived the pandemic. Found out they have a sister location near me in Richmond Hill.!!!
Yesterday I was very sick and my dad suggested he got some soup for me from Afghan kabob. He went in and ordered and they told him it s going to take 7 minutes. My dad asked why it s going to take that long because it s already pre made and the cashier yelled at him telling him that the store isn t a flea market. The soup ended up taking 40 minutes and the bread was stale. 0 customer service and very slow
Solid Portions, decent prices, great service. Tasty food
My husband and I have this ritual that when we re apart and we re hungry, we send each other surprise meals from UberEats. I m in Rexdale so he ended up choosing Afghan Kebob Cuisine for me and I couldn t be happier. The meat was tender and juicy and big chunks of chicken! The rice was cooked perfectly, the garlic sauce was delicious and the accompanying bread was warm and fluffy. I can t believe I ve been living in this area for over 20 years and never came across this place! I will definitely be a return customer!! Thank you!
Delicious Food!
It was excellent food.Very kind people.
The best chapli kabob in the city.
The lady who works at the counter is absolutely rude. I wanted to confirm my order and she started getting into an argument assuming I didn t want my order or I wanted to change it last minute? I have no idea why she assumed what she did but as soon as I spoke she started yelling at me. Their food is not bad, their bread is amazing and the owner is so kind but the lady at the front who is there all the time is impatient, rude and just has a terrible personality. I highly recommend replacing her and hiring someone more professional who doesn t yell at customers for absolutely no reason.
Very tasty food. I like it
Zabardust food
Always fresh and hot food. The whole menu is worth trying. Visiting here since 2010
Very delicious, flavorful, clean and affordable.
I like this place the food is delicious good amount of rice the seasoning in the kebab delicious
I found it little expensive, quantitity was fine. Kebob was kind of dry...
Excellent customer service. Best food I ever had thank you kaka jaan .
Pretty good Kabuli Kebob. All the food was not too salty, and the meat was soft. Also their special hot sauce is awesome!
FOOD IS Amazing! Take it from someone who has been going here for past 6 years! A regular customer who cares for his health ...Food & ambience is in point ...Your paying for good quality here...One of the best Afghan spots in Toronto...Way better than the major franchises...If your reading this ...Go here...You will love their fresh hot bread & charcoal grilled meat! Whatever you chose...You shall love!
The chef wasn t wearing his mask. He was touching the dough for bread without any gloves. Won t recommend
Excellent! Loved it! The family working here was so friendly and nice!
lamb shank spicy sauce
I just had food from here, was my first time and it was good !! The owner Im assuming, man seemed nice and had good customer service. Also Freshly made Naan was good
I went here with a friend. She ordered the kebob meal and as I am vegetarian the owner recommended the rice and lentils dish. His recommendation was spot on and the food was excellent and delicious! My friend also enjoyed her kebob meal tremendously. Both our meals came with fresh baked bread that was delicious. We had great service and delicious food so I would definitely eat here again!
Very good!
Discovered this restaurant on Skip and now order regularly! Huge portions, great prices and delicious food. Their rice is addicting! We recommend their lamb shank and lamb chops.
Consistently the best beef chaplee kabob in the city
The service was excellent.
Nice people, tasty food. Love this place.
Love the food
The lady at the front wasnt very nice thats why they only got 4 not 5 stars but the food is absolutely amazing and delicious
I ordered the Afghani Sultani dinner that came with 3 skewers: chicken, beef and lamb kebobs. They were nicely settled over a bed of rice. The sides included a bowl of salad and fresh naan!
Good food
My one of favorite restaurants
Omg i dont believe i am writing this review as this was my fav place for lamb shank.the guy work there is always greedy for tips and he literally ask me once when i didnt leave tip .is he embarrassing customers ? I am sure many of customer feel this way.Also he made lamb shank so worst today i am sure he didnt follow the standard.rice was so dry .totally waste of money .This guy is making this place so horrible owner should take action for this guy for the ref i went sat nov 6 2021 at around 7 pm
Good food and good service
Food is always fresh, service is always quick.
was feeling very weak due to fever. went specifically for lamb shank rice and chapali kebab. not disappointed at all. worth travelling 20 minutes one way.
My wife loves this place. The Chicken shami kebob is great. Excellent quality.
Delicious food! Good portion and seasoned very well. Fresh and tasty! Excellent customer service.
Not bad food.
Amazing food. I always get chicken or beef for two. Perfectly cooked and spiced. Also, run by great, friendly and hard-working people so its always a pleasure (and important!) to support local family run business. So happy I found this place!
Worst Mantu Ive ever had. Ive never seen such bad customer service in my life. Avoid.
This place has absolutely horrible customer service and if that s not bad enough, their food tastes like old rotten meat that has been microwaved ten times over then left outside for flies to feast and die on before being served. Extremely dissatisfying experience.
It was my first time to go there im happy to find them very good food with perfect price
Love this place the persian lady always provides impeccable service and the food is amazing! Definitely recommend 5*
Dont bother. Food is good but theyll mess up your order. Paid for extras and drinks and didnt get any. Also the salad had no dressing. If the lady is there and not the old man at the countrr just turn around even faster. I had great experiences in the past. My last 3 orders were messed up, never going back.
It s far from a luxury interior but the food is delicious. I recommend the Sultani kebab combo; the steak is amazing, the ground meat is good, the rice is fantastic and the naan is fresh and feels just right in your mouth. And it s mild enough for spice debutantes to take a dip with the optional red sauce to add a kick for more experienced diners. Tastes great even after a car ride for delivery.
Delicious food and excellent customer service! This was my first time ordering at Afghan Kebob Cuisine through Uber. I spoke with the owner named Ahmed and he was super helpful and friendly. I was not sure what to order and he recommended the Afghan Sultani Dinner. This comes with three meats. The meat was juicy and soft. Im glad I ordered extra Shami skewers too! I think I found my favorite spot!!
Delicious Naan and I love getting the Sultani Kebob. The chicken Kebob is also nice and juicy.
Service is always great, I normally get the tandoori chicken, its very tasty. The grilled potatoes are amazing but very spicy.
The restaurant is Afghan by name, but the people working in it are PERSIANS...lol The rice was a bit too wet, not very afghan like
Amazing Rice Palao!!
Food is ready good in this restaurant. But the people who work in this place dont wear masks and they touch there phone when preparing food for the customers
The food is tasty and fresh,employees are professional and nice. I recommend this place to anyone.
Good and fast service
