Helmand Kabob Palace Pickering

My name is Shahid and today I had chapli kebab dinner. It was made spicy as request and the taste was amazing. Highly recommend very friendly atmosphere and delicious food.

The food came out piping hot and beautifully plated. Impressive all around.

This restaurant has such a positive vibe it's clear that the team truly cares about the guest experience.

Perfect blend of spices in every bite. The rice, kabobs, and sauces are always on point. Great job!

AMAZING!

If you're planning an event, try their catering you won't regret it! Their food stole the show at our engagement dinner.

I hosted a birthday party and ordered catering from here. The food was hot, fresh, and neatly packed. Guests kept asking where it was from!

We used Helmand Kabob Palace for catering our birthday party and were blown away by the service. Everything arrived hot, fresh and perfectly seasoned. Thank you!

They have the worst type of customer service.They messed up my order many times, I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone.

I visited Helmand Kabob Palace in Pickering a couple of months ago with friends. The chicken kabab was flavorful and enjoyable, but the salad fell short of expectations. The rice, topped with carrots in traditional Afghan style, didn’t quite suit my taste. The pricing was reasonable, which was a plus.

The restaurant wasn’t crowded during our visit, creating a relaxed atmosphere, but the service left room for improvement. While the amenities are limited, the ample parking space is convenient.

Overall, it’s a decent spot to explore Afghan cuisine, especially if you’re curious to try something new, but there’s room for enhancements in both service and presentation.

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!

Some of the best Afghan food that we have had! Excellent taste and flavors! The owners are very kind and even though we were a large group of 15, they catered to our needs. You will also have a great conversation with the head chef, whose wits are as sharp as his cooking skills! We had the large family platter for 15 and there was more than enough food for all of us to enjoy.

This plaza has some great food options such as Affys, silver spoons and dessert lounge, but don't overlook this Afghan spot!

The food at this place is always the most authentic, always fresh and always delicious! Whether it is dine in or catered it never disappoints and we have been going to this place since my teenagers were babies! I am only giving the atmosphere 4 because they need a bigger place but the food is all worth it. They accommodated our group of 20 guests last minute and the service was super fast! Thank you!

I ordered the Qabuli Lamb shank pulao and it was extremely tender with a great taste of the rice.

Reminds me of the authentic Qabuli pulao, its a MUST try.
