“Good food 🥘 and I would come back with family again.“

“I placed a take out order and was told the all the sauce was in the bag and when I got back to work they weren’t 😓. A little disappointing. The staff were really kind and over all the food is really good… It’s just a little too pricey for the portion sizes you get in my opinion. The salad was soooo small.“

“Tried this spot with my wife, she had the Chapli Kabob Wrap and loved it. I got the Kabob Combo 2; the tandoori skewer was great, but the beef shish kabob wasn’t the greatest. Portion size was generous, easily feeds two. A bit pricey for what it is, but overall a decent meal.“

“Ordered delivery last night. First time eating from here. It was amazing! My kids loved it and we will definitely order again. Lots of food and everything was so good.“

“The food was definitely out of this world! If you really want to taste the real Afghan authentic food this is the only place where you can find the same Afghani taste as Afghanistan in Canada! The best part was that before leaving the manager came and asked if everything was okay! In most Afghan restaurant they don’t cook and steam well the rice but here it was Superb. Kebab was really juicy and delicious!!! Give it a try you won’t regret it take my word for it.“

“My favourite Afghani restaurant! Real food, served on real plates, with real utensils.

I love the Waziri Tandoori meal. The chicken is so flavourful and tender. The Shish is delicious as well. The best part about the meals is all of the variety included. Salad, soup, rice, naan, meats and delicious sauces are are included with the meal. I also really enjoy the Bolani, with its delicious leek and potato filling, as well as the Eggplant Borani, and the Mantoo dumplings. The House Doogh yogourt drink settles and relaxes the stomach after such a large and filling meal.

The friendly service is very welcoming and heartwarming as well.

Although it's quite the drive from Scarborough, Maimana Naan and Kabab is such a treat and I never regret the long drive!“

“If you're looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, this is the place to be! The taste is absolutely spot-on, with the perfect blend of spices and cooking techniques that bring out the natural flavors of the dishes without overpowering them. I tried their kebabs and mutton shank , rice, and they were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Serving size is generous. The service was warm and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A true gem for anyone who appreciates delicious Afghan food. Highly recommended!“

“Called Jawed for a platter of food for ten. He did selection for us and included his own eggplant dish and special shawarma sauce.
We and our guests were truly amazed and the uniqueness, the freshness and taste.
Amazing stuff.“

But what truly sets this place apart is the lighting-fast service. The staff are attentive, friendly, and efficient—you barely have to wait before your food arrives, freshly made and piping hot.

And let’s talk about the taste—because wow, this is where The Kebaba Shop really shines. Every bite is bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.

“This place has excellent quality food and friendly service. I ordered the chicken breast kebab dinner. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy and tasty! The naan bread is soft and fluffy. In fact, I can eat it by itself. The Greek salad is so fresh and I love the dressing. I like their Greek salad better than those at Greek restaurants. Overall, I am just happy to have a quality restaurant near my home where I can go to get quality food anytime.“

“I recently dined at Bamiyan Kabob with a group of 8 people, and despite a couple of hiccups, we had an overall positive experience. The food was undeniably delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. We particularly enjoyed the flavorful kabobs and the variety of side dishes that were served.

However, our dining experience was slightly marred by the lack of air conditioning in the restaurant. After a dance practice outdoors in 30-degree weather, walking into a warm dining area was not the most comfortable experience for our group. We felt compelled to place our order and dine in quickly to get back to our activities, which was a bit disappointing.

I truly hope that the management team takes note of this feedback and considers improving the ventilation or cooling system in the restaurant to provide a more comfortable environment for their customers, especially during hot weather. With a few adjustments, Bamiyan Kabob could easily become a five-star dining destination.

Overall, I would recommend Bamiyan Kabob for its delicious Afghan cuisine and friendly service, but I do hope to see improvements in the dining environment in the future.“

“I recently visited Kandahar Kabab in Pickering, drawn by its reputation for flavorful Afghan cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of grilled meats, rice platters, and traditional sides, with standout items like the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chapli Kabab, and Lamb Shank. The portions were generous, and the meat was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mango Lassi was a refreshing complement to the meal. However, the experience was a bit inconsistent. While some staff were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. Wait times for food can be long—even when the restaurant isn’t crowded. Huma was the best! always smiling and ready to serve customers. The ambiance is casual, leaning more toward a takeout vibe than a dine-in destination. Prices are on the higher side for the portion sizes, but the flavor and authenticity of the dishes can make it worthwhile“
