“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic. Staff were very friendly and made excellent recommendations. I had the Waziri Tandoori which is one skewer if tandoori chicken and one one beef shish kebab. Comes with really nicely seasoned rice, an amazing chicken and barley soup (which would be worth getting on its own) and fresh baked naan bread and salad. My friend got the lamb shank and mantoo which were also excellent.

Service was quick and staff were very friendly and helpful.

The restaurant was quite empty which was sad to see on a Friday evening. I would love to see more people check it out!“

“I just ate at Helmand Kabab, and the food was amazing! I tried the Manto and Afghan Wrap, and both were so delicious and full of authentic Afghan flavor. The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and served hot. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for tasty Afghan cuisine and a cozy atmosphere!“

“I went to this new shawarma spot and as soon as I walk in you can smell how delicious it is! I ordered the dinner plate and a chicken salad. It was so flavourful! The vegetable were some of the freshest ones I've ever tasted! Adding to that the service was amazing (so kind)! 100% recomend!“

“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.“

“This restaurant has incredible food. So much flavour and perfectly cooked. We had everything from the tandoori chicken, yellow chicken, kabab & rice. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back.“

“We had a wonderful celebratory luncheon today at Bamiyan. "Wonderful" all thanks to Carolina who treated us like we were sitting at her dining room table. She went out of her way to make that occasion memorable. Thank you SO much, Carolina (sp?).“

“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“
