Used to be our favourite but after tonight never again. Ordered for myself and my mom for pick up, who just got released from the hospital. After waiting for over an hour, our order was cancelled no reason given.
Jamila’s Kitchen is truly a hidden gem! The food is absolutely exceptional — especially the Ghabeli Polo with Lamb, which is cooked to perfection. The lamb is tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the rice is fragrant and beautifully presented. You can really taste the love and care that goes into every dish.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is kind and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Jamila’s Kitchen to anyone who appreciates authentic, high-quality Afghan cuisine. It’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again!

Jamila's Coquitlam fulfilled a large catering order for our summer staff party. We ordered chicken and beef souvalaki, lamb Shami, greek salad, afgan rice, pita, butter chicken, roasted potatoes. It arrived nice and hot, flavourful and well portioned. It was a big hit. I am glad we ordered from there! It was delightfully different from our usual burgers and bbq cuisine. Malik did a great job communicating with me to ensure our order was 100% to my satisfaction.

Really attentive service and delicious food.

Lots of variety, which is great for a family with different tastes. The Greek is my personal favourite. Very friendly staff. Best for take out.

Extremely poor customer services, specially the old lady doesn’t know how to communicate with customers.

Had lunch here a few weeks ago with my husband. The owner was wonderful - very sweet. Our meals were both delicious! I ordered the chicken shami - highly recommend

Very tasty kebab lunch at a reasonable price. Try this if you're in the mood for something wholesome and slightly different than the usual shawarma fare on offer elsewhere. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you very much for your kind response. I am currently living in Canada, but I will always have wonderful memories of RS Syafira. Both of my daughters were born at your outstanding hospital, and I am truly grateful for the exceptional care and dedication of your team. Thank you again for everything.

You're lucky if they get your order right. And they always act as if it's you!

Jan 2025, changed menu, or chef. Lamb curry was rubbery, got 2 chicken drumsticks in the butter chicken and redefined naan as we all know it, fat and heavy. So disappointed, they used to be so good. Have to find another source.

I am extremely disappointed with the food I received from Jamila Restaurant. The skewers were absolutely terrible—burnt, dry, cold, and tasted old/stale (photos says it all). The flavor was so awful that we ended up throwing them straight in the garbage. They didn’t resemble anything close to what was advertised on Uber Eats. It was honestly shocking.
They make a half-quarter naan (shown in photos) and call it one full naan. I ordered two, and they sent me what can only be described as half a naan for the price of two.
The Bolani was burnt (see photos) and tasted horrible. I couldn’t even take a second bite. It was completely inedible. For the amount of money I paid ($60), this is beyond unacceptable.
When I called to address the issue, Jamila was incredibly rude and dismissive. She mentioned that she had been working since 4 am and did this and did that, but didn’t even have the basic courtesy to apologize for the poor food and service. Her behavior was unprofessional, uncivilized, and absolutely not what I expect from a restaurant, especially one in Canada. I honestly feel like reporting this to the food authorities. I will never be ordering from here again. Avoid at all costs.

Amazing Qabuli Pulao! Perfectly cooked rice, tender meat, and wonderful flavor. Totally worth it!
