Saying this with no ill will and only respect. But if you just cook to order business will do even better. The meats I had were seasoned well and flavourful but you can tell it didn’t just come off the grill. To be honest some skewers seemed a bit stale.I went to a different Afgan restaurant last week in Mississauga. And you can see them making it to order. Fresh off the grill. Was perfect.Don’t skimp on quality and the profits will pay you back. You have all the right tools...

I've been coming here for some time and I'll tell you it just gets better. The owner and stuff is so friendly I genuinely feel like ive got a friend there every time i walk in its very refreshing. I moved at the beginning of the year and hadn't been able to order from here but it'd been too long since I had a great meal so I got in my truck and drove up upper james to get some. I was not disappointed :D ?
