Afghan Restaurants near Ajax, ON

“I would like to thank Omar at Afghan Cuisine!

It was very simple and easy to use their website to place a huge order and to request that their team contact me.

Once I placed my order, Omar called me the next day to go over it and make sure everything was perfect for my 60 guests. He even followed up with the pickup time for the day of the event and helped load food into the vehicle!

Prices were actually reasonable and affordable for this year, 2026!

I would like to thank you once again and will definitely be contacting you again for my next party event.“

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

“Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The food was hands down the best Afghan food I’ve ever had everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The customer service was outstanding; the staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home.

The restaurant itself was spotless, including the washrooms, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their business. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions you receive.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This place exceeded all my expectations, and I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Afghan food and exceptional service. A true gem!“

“Over 400 orders in the last two years says it all. This place has become my go-to, and it has never let me down once. The shawarma plate is my regular. It's perfectly seasoned, generous portions, and that consistency you just don't find everywhere. When I'm in the mood for something different, the naan and chicken tandoori is incredible. The tandoori has that perfect char and the naan comes out warm and fluffy literally every time.

What keeps me coming back isn't just the food (though it's genuinely some of the best around), it's how reliably great it is order after order. If you haven't tried this place yet, do yourself a favor and order. You won't regret it.“

“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.“

“We recently tried the full tandoori chicken at Maimana Naan & Kebab, and it was excellent. The flavor was a bit different from the usual tandoori chicken, with what seemed like an Afghan-style touch that made it unique and memorable. The chicken was juicy on the inside, nicely crisp on the outside, and cooked perfectly. The spice blend was well balanced and very flavorful.

My only suggestion would be to improve the value by making it more of a complete meal. Adding a couple of naan breads along with some salad or rice would make a big difference and complement the chicken perfectly.

Overall, the chicken itself was outstanding, and we really enjoyed it.“

“Had a great experience at Helmand Kabab. I tried the shawarma, and it was delicious and fresh. Ghazal Hashemi made an excellent shawarma, and her hospitality and friendly attitude made the experience even better. Thank you for the great service — I will definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“This shawarma spot really stands out, especially for the fries—they’re easily some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly crispy, well seasoned, and paired with their garlic sauce, they’re honestly addictive and worth coming back for on their own.

The shawarma itself was fresh, flavorful, and packed properly with good portions. Everything tasted well-balanced, not overly greasy, and clearly made with care.

Ali, the owner, was very welcoming and takes real pride in the place. You can tell he cares about the food and the customer experience, and that energy carries through to the whole staff. Everyone was friendly, quick, and made the visit feel comfortable and easy.

Overall, a solid spot with great food and even better service. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving good shawarma and seriously good fries.“

“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“
