Very delicious food, with a warm atmosphere (tons of beautiful art) and extremely welcoming and kind staff! I ordered the lamb qorma, with kabuli style rice and the food reminded me of my mothers home cooking! Highly recommend!

They also offered me green tea and shir berinj which they refused to let me pay!

I had ordered some catering last weekend for a potluck I was attending and was incredibly pleased with the service from Afghani Kabob Express. The lovely staff was very accommodating on the phone and called me back many times to make sure we could get the order just right. Farida was so pleasant to chat with and truly represents Afghan hospitality. My guests were incredibly impressed with the dishes and I received multiple requests for the restaurant name. Will be coming back for catering orders in the future!

P.S. Portions were VERY generous, food was flavourful and the presentation was immaculate!!! ❤️ Thanks again!!

The best kabuli pulao and kebabs, hands down! The portions are also huge, so you won’t go hungry. The salads are always the freshest, and so are the naans. This is Afghan food at it’s most authentic. The eggplant and chicken qormas are also to die for, please do yourself a favour and try them out too- it’s not all about kebabs alone you see haha

This restaurant might not draw you in from the outside. It’s a little rough looking, but sometimes that where the gems are. And if you skip this spot you are missing out.
We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered.
We didn’t know what to get, so we asked for recommendations. The staff member was so helpful, inquisitive about our likes/dislikes, very patient, very thorough. Excellent customer service. We felt confident in our decisions, and we were not disappointed! The lamb, the chicken, the rice!!!! All exquisite. We ate in, and you pay up front, but even then, one of the staff came over to ask how everything was, and if we needed anything. Top notch customer service. Everything was beautifully cooked, flavoured and presented. We loved it all, can’t wait to enjoy leftovers and our next visit!

We ordered takeout. The lamb leg was delicious and flavorful. The rice was slightly sweet because it had lots of dried fruits, but overall it was good.

The best damned food I’ve had in weeks. Beef shami wrap at a fair price, with a generous helping of fries. Will certainly be returning, next time with company.
