Kandahar Kabab Reviews
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...read full review
What a disgusting cuisine🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ordered qabuli palau, kofta kebab rice, and lamb chops for lunch (cost a little over $100) and the rice were all the same-undercooked and bland. The meat is overcooked. What's worst is the qabuli palau, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ANY MEAT (it doesn't make any sense) just undercooked rice, overcooked carrots and raisins.They use the same rice for all my order and just added carrots and raisins for the qabuli. Shame on this restaurant for calling themselves an Afghani restaurant if they...read full review

Kandahar Kabab serves perfectly cooked meat with generous portions of rice, fries, and veggies, along with utensils and sauce. The restaurant is known for its flavorful Afghan cuisine, offering a wide variety of grilled meats, rice platters, and traditional sides. Standout items include the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chapli Kabab, Lamb Shank, beef kofta kabab dinner, and chicken shawarmas. While the portions are generous and the meat is well-seasoned, some customers have noted that prices are on the higher side for the portion sizes.
The experience can be inconsistent; while some staff, like Huma, are friendly and attentive, others may seem overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. Wait times for food can be long, even when the restaurant isn’t crowded. The ambiance is casual, leaning more toward a takeout vibe than a dine-in destination.
Although the food and service are praised, there have been concerns about the cleanliness of the washroom and the dine-in area, with issues like bothersome fumes from fried food and unclean surfaces. Despite these drawbacks, Kandahar Kabab remains a recommended choice for those in Pickering, as the flavor and authenticity of the dishes can make it worthwhile.
