Naan and Kabob

The décor was nice made for a really comfortable setting. You have to order at the register. I ordered the Sultanj and Kabob which is 1 skewer of beef tenderloin and 1 shish kabob. I got mine with rice for an extra $ 2 so it came to $ 12.99. Meat was tender and flavourful. It came with a large piece of naan. The side salad and what I can describe as pico de gallo was really refreshing and tasted great with the rice and meat. Let me tell you the portion sizes were huge I couldn’t finish my naan. I liked my dish however I had a bite of my friends tandoori breast kabob and that was way too spicy for my liking. But if you like spice then that won’t be a problem.

Good food! Nothing special in the menu… just common Afghan dishes. The food is flavorful and worth the money. Overall its a decent place for a good lunch.

Great food. It’s not the cheapest food you can get but the portion is huge. There’s easily enough food for 2 people if you get 2 skewers with rice. Comes with salad and their awesome naan bread.
I have been to the Sauga location. Same great tastes. Only difference is that the Scarborough location is in a really ghetto area. It’s like a hidden, beautiful gem that might be doing better if they opened in a more upscale area. I really didn’t expect to find this place in this area.
Like most middle eastern places, don’t expect much service. They just get you the food. That’s all that I ask. I like not paying tips lol.

A good place to get delicious meals. I recommend everyone to try their lamb shank meal and the tandoori chicken and for people who love spicy food, try their hot sauce it’s super tasty.

Took off a couple stars because of slow service and how dirty the tables were. We came in and ordered take out and it took 30+ minutes to prepare one order of chicken breast kebab. We sat at a table while we waited and it was a complete mess. Rice all over the table, empty pop cans, even a spoon left on the floor. We looked around and noticed all the tables were unkept and it wasn’t even busy so we’re not sure why it couldn’t have been cleaned up. Besides that, food was good. Rice was dry. Probably won’t be coming back here.

Oye I’d give this place 5 stars if they could be a bit faster producing the meals.
I love this place, nice fill for people with high metabolism in need of a good meal.
Good price to size quantity value.
Good staff and service, but kitchen is a bit slow because this place is very popular for lunch, and the wait it just takes forever.
My suggestion to avoid the long wait, order ahead of time even if you are to eat right there.
The food is delicious, very juicy meat, good complimentary salad and sesame naan.
If that is not enough to fill you add a Bolanee fresh and delicioso.

Great food and ambience. Definitely a nice date spot. The service is a little strange, no waiters/​waitresses. You order and pick up in the front (burger priest style). The restaurant could definitely benefit from actually having waiters/​hostess/​servers. This would make it a gem in Scarborough for sure!

This place is the best for middle eastern food. The décor is quite chic as they were shown on Restaurant takeover. Love the big tables and the sharing of meals with friends is necessary. Their dumpling dish is a go-​to item and the grilled chicken kebob plate is our favorite.

What to expect…
Fast-​food type atmosphere but décor is modern casual, very casual. Prices don’t reflect this though. Be prepared to pay $ 12-​$ 15 per meal item. Serve yourself basically! And don’t expect Afghan hospitality because you won’t get a trace of that! They may even seem rude given the lack of personability. Seemed only to have two-​three people working– one on register and one-​two in the kitchen. Service is bound to suffer.
Clean and hygienic place. But, don’t touch the railings or walls on the way down to the washroom. It was gross!
I go here for the Mantu and Bolanee. The dugh isn’t bad either. But the rest is nothing to write home about. It lacks flavour but not spice (for Afghan standards)…
The last person I went there with said there were other places much better. I have had much better priced catered food that was unbelievable in taste and value. Depending on the item, it’s hit or miss here. Meat items seemed dry. Still I would say, it’s worth a try!

Would I recommend this place???
Only if you were Mother Teresa or Ghandi reincarnated.
We went as a party of 3. Nice and clean locale, not too busy. Ordered the
Qabuli Palau, tandoori chicken and regular chicken kabob. I Also ordered Bolanee, lettuce salad since the Qabuli doesn’t come with lettuce salad, it came with chicken curry.
To start… there was a whole lot of confusion getting the order through the cash machine. They didnt add all 3 dishes, so had to ring it through which lead to them billing us again twice. They fixed that. We went to sit… waited for our meal…3 plates showed up. We waited a bit for the naan for a bit. We asked what happened to the bread, said they’d bring it to us. Since I had asked for my salad, I went back up again to get it. I get a mixed salad with the tomato chutney that comes with all the meals. I say that’s not what i ordered. i just wanted a salad that had lettuce white dressing and cabbage. I: m given the salad again… there is no cabagge. At this point Im so angry. Im almost done my food, I haven’t received my bread nor is the salad right. Finally get the chicken curry… its floating in oil… almost done our meal… we get up again. I see a tray of bread… I ask is that mine? The girl says she doesn’t know. bread is cold… now I’m mad. But thirsty too. my husband gets up to ask for a mango shake, poor guy comes back with a warm mango shake!!! A WARM MANGO SHAKE!!! WHO DOES THAT??? I go back to the counter and I ask. are you serious? Im paying for the tiniest cup of mango shake and its warm… not room temperature. WARM. ‘Oh yeah, you are right, I’ll make you another one” no apology, not even batting an eyelash… total fuckery and no acknowledgement. I decide… McDonald’s next time. I know that when I get the tray all my food will be ready for me… I wont have to get up countless times to remind them that they gave my order incomplete. The taste? Its okay, but doesn’t compare to other places I ve been to.

The food was similar to a homecooked version I’ve had so I liked it.
The restaurant’s décor is modern and definitely stands out from the rest of the ones in the plaza.
To order, you pay at the counter and find a table until your food is ready. There’s a bit of confusion when the bell is rung because no one knows whose meal it is until you go up to check.
Overall, not a bad lunch spot but probably won’t be on our regular rotation.

I really want to give this place 4 stars, but the service is so inefficient, it would be a complete lie.
This was my second time ordering. Both times I ordered for take out, although this time I called ahead and ordered for pick up so that I wouldn’t have to wait 30 – 45 mins for my order to be ready.
So I get there and my order looks ready but then I realized I needed to add to my order, which I do. I’m told it will be awhile before this one item is done. Fine, I expected as much after my first visit.
However, I got charged more than what was on the menu. When I mention this to the cashier, she tells me the menu I’m holding is old, pulls one from the back of the pile and says the prices have changed. She didn’t offer to even give me the old menu prices when there were several copies of that menu there for customers to look at. That’s not to even mention how off the prices are on their website! Soooo yea, not too happy about that. Or how slow they are in the kitchen.
I’ve tried different kabobs (chicken, tikka, beef, lamb) and they are okay. It’s a bit dry. I haven’t tried a wrap, but my dad really liked his chicken wrap. I enjoy the bolanee, which is described as a naan stuffed with potatoes. I wouldn’t really call it a naan, but one order is enough to share between 2 – 4 people depending on how much you like to eat.
I tried this appetizer, the mantu, which are Afghan beef dumplings. They were sooooo good. I’ve decided I’m only going to get apps here. And I doubt I’ll ever order in store again, for take out or dine in. It’s way too inefficient for my liking. I will just order for pick up.

The place is in the corner of Lawrence and pharmecy. The food was great, so was the service. I took Qabli Pulau; wish it was a bit more spicy. Apart from the food, I must say, the interior decoration was simple, but noticeably good.

awesome food & service!
first time trying afghan food, and it was delicious!
really enjoyed it here and will definitely return.
very nice and clean!

I’ve been eating Afghan food for years and when I tried this place I was very impressed. I don’t consider myself an expert in Afghan cuisine, but I do know good food when I taste it.
It’s a small restaurant in a little plaza in scarborough, probably the last plaza you’d expect to find good food in. It was redone by the food network, and I think the décor is spot on. It has exposed brick, with bright orange chairs and wooden tables. It’s a mix of modern and traditional, and the eating area is always kept clean and tidy.
I always order a grilled kabob wrap which comes in a tortilla like bread, with veggies and a really good sauce. The plates include rice and a salad and a skewer of grilled meat on top and a naan. I don’t get the plate because it’s too much rice for me and I can’t finish it. My husband always orders a plate and he has never had complaints. We always make sure to come by this place when we are in Toronto because it’s the absolute best, and to be honest the prices are pretty inticing too! A wrap is $ 4.99 for a huge portion of food, an extra skewer is $ 4.99 too which is better priced and better tasting than other places in the city.
The chicken is always extra juicy and packing so much flavour from the perfect grill job.
We occasionally order the Boulagnee, which is always made fresh and delicious. There is always a wait after ordering because it is all made fresh to order, and that’s how I like my food. The staff is nice, they take your order with a smile and have never messed up our orders in the many times we have visited.
LASTLY– this place would get 5 stars if it weren’t for the bathroom. To get to the bathroom you have to pass by the kitchen behind the counter, and go down a steep flight of stairs. The washroom is not dirty, but it is messy. Often there is toilet paper on the floor, and water as well which isn’t nice at all. It’s a single person washroom, but it’s just very uncomfortable to use. I don’t ever use it anymore unless its a dire emergency.
Overall, an extremely delicious, even healthy fast food option in the city with amazing prices. Definitely a place to try out when you’re in the area, and I believe they have another location as well!

The food is great but the service is very slow. THEY also had a tough time saying the order number out loud properly and seemed very confused in general. The line up got long because of their inefficiencies and several customers left angry. One customer snapped after waiting 40 minutes for his food and the people behind the counter kept taking his food and switching it around between multiple bags. He eventually gave up, asked for his money back and left swearing.
I would come back, but during off peak hours.
Pros: reasonable price, excellent taste, spicy tandoori.
Cons: slow and confused staff. To give them benefit of the doubt, they are possibly overworked /​understaffed and need to hire more people to help run the kitchen better.

Well what do you get when your restaurant gets a makeover from professionals? Naan Kabob
As avid purchasers of the Missoula location when we moved east we were pleased to know one of our favorite restaurants was still a short 5 minute drive away.
Having sampled the food from both locations I can conclude that there is zero difference in the food or portions which is no easy feat for multiple locations to accomplish (cough McDonalds)
The only critique I have about this location is that when you call it’s a pain to get a take out order today (Jan 16) is the first time I have ever been asked for my name or phone number despite the fact the restaurant is ALWAYS busy.
It’s seems that for all the excellent food they serve and the remake of their brand the same lack of common customer focus that plagues bigger chains and franchises may lose them customers in the future

Middle Eastern restaurant located in a plaza that is the ideal spot for one. Naan and Kabob is this small dine-​in/​takeout spot. They have some pretty cool décor inside and the tables have benches for seats with a countertop for ordering. The menu has mainly kabobs with some wraps and entrees thrown in as well.
Ordered up Tandoori Half Chicken with Rice and Salad. My buddies got the lamb chops with rice. I will say that the lamb portions were pretty miniscule, but they enjoyed it. The Tandoori Half Chicken, on the other hand, was quite a bit of food for $ 11. With several pieces of chicken layered atop a bed of basmati rice, the meal was quite large. The chicken pieces were dry on the outside, but because it was dark meat, was nice and tender on the inside. The hot sauce that comes on the table is weak, but did add some nice acidity to the meal.
Didn’t come for kebabs so I can’t comment, but the entrees with the kebobs, rice, naan, and salad are all around $ 10 so no complaints. The naan bread was nice and they sprinkle some sesame seeds near the middle, but it’s pointless. Good food for not so much money.

Ever since this place opened we keep coming back for more. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet! When me and my husband eat out we prefer to eat somewhere that is relatively healthy and this fits the bill. Grilled food and salad is the way to go.
The staff are friendly, cheery and helpful.
The store is cute and clean. It was on the food network as a plus!
The food is beyond delicious. Our fav go to light dinner place that’s for sure. Their chicken is tender and moist and their tikka kabob are such tender cuts of beef. Their rice is fluffy and delicious and their naan is to die for.
Their pricing is average. As of late they have been relatively busy and we like to order for pickup because it is becoming harder and harder to find a place to sit.
Their washrooms are clean (although located in the weirdest spot!) and that keeps me reassured of their kitchen cleanliness practices.
Overall DEFINITELYYY go here. It will keep you coming back for more.

Had enough recommendations to try this place out from my Desi Muslim friends so I had to get here to find out what the fuss was about. They all mentioned to me that this place was like Bamiyan Kabob so I had to be the judge on that. Could it taste as good? Let’s see.
We arrived Saturday afternoon at around 4 PM. The restaurant is located in this dingy plaza on the corner. We entered and it had a nice setting. It was not busy at all. They do not take credit cards, only debit or cash.
I ordered what I usually order from Bamiyan and was the Half Chicken Dinner with Rice, my absolute favourite. It was also the same price as Bamiyan as well.
It came out within 10 minutes and I picked it up from the front. Coming back to our seat, I was totally excited. Looked amazingly delicious, just like Bamiyan’s. And it was.
There was something about it that tasted different though and for once, I can’t really describe it. It had something like more of an oily taste to the chicken. I don’t know, I just was really impressed by how it was made. The dish I felt was more tasty, spicy and juicy. Bamiyan’s was a little more dry and blander although their salad and salsa was a bit more grander (ha! Another rhyme!).
At any rate, I gobbled it up and still had left-​overs to take home. I will most definitely return here and maybe even the Mississauga location which is close by to my parents’ house if I ever feel the craving for some commercial Afghani food.
