Afghan Cuisine

I hate to give a place with such amazing food such low marks, but the service here is horrid. The people taking the order have no customer service skills. When we asked for water they have glass, but will give you insulated cups instead when you are eating in.
The restaurant itself is lovely and seems like a good place to eat, but I would recommend take out only.
For the owners, please teach your staff some basic customer service skills.

Pretty good. I like better than the more popular bamiyan kebob in the same plaza. Big fresh meat pieces, fresh salads and naan. Standard afghan prices

Food was average. Non-​lunch prices are steep for the location and food quality. Only thing that stood out was the slightly more classy décor and seating.

I’ve never been let down by Afghani cuisine and this place is no exception. Although, Naan at this place are extraordinary. So 5 stars just for that.
(Just a suggestion to the management, the space, though well-​designed, can be a little cramped. Especially for a family of 5 or more)

When this place is on point, it’s honestly amazing.
While I’ve been here so many times where it was 5* amazing, there have also been a few instances of 4* Great and 3* ho-​hum average.
Regardless, 9 times out of 10 it’s epic.
Must tries:
Chicken Seekh Kabob (ground chicken grilled on skewers)
Beef tikka (tenderloin steak)
Chapli Kabob (spicy burger style patties)
Tandoori Chicken Tikka (marinated & grilled pieces of chicken breast)
Grilled Chicken Tikka (marinated & grilled pieces of chicken breast — not spicy)
Also their Firnee dessert is amazing if you like rice pudding or custard type desserts.
Some people love their lamb shank, i find it fairly pedestrian.
Their Kabli Pilau is just ok.
Avoid their salads. Afghans are not known for their salads. lol
Nice ambience. Parking in that plaza sucks because of all the different restaurants.
Lastly — yes, this place is better then Bamiyan. Avoid the rush and headache of Bamiyan and eat here instead.

The food is good, however there were many flies in the restaurant and it’s very frustrating. Some landed on my naan while I was eating and I’ve to throw it out. We told the lady at the front about it, and all she said was ok ok.

This place has amazing meat choices and for me that’s important, the rice and salad is great

I ordered the Sultani Kebab dinner and a mango smoothie. The dinner was very yummy. It was a lot of food. I was not able to finish it all, so I got a take out container for the rest.
The mango smoothie was very delicious. I absolutely love it!
The restaurant is set up like a fast food place. So you order, sit down and wait for your number to be called. It’s very noisy, so probably not the best place for a date. But enjoyable none the less.

I seem to have found a new place for delicious kabobs as Bamiyan Kabob is getting on my nerves, their quality of the food is starting to go down which led me to try Afghan Cuisine; Mother’s Day dinner with my mom. Dining room is inviting, clean, better displayed menus and friendly staff. We ordered combo 1 (beef tikka and sheesh kabob) and combo 2 (chicken kabob and chicken sheesh kabob). Both dinners came with rice, salad, naan and chutney.
Food arrived in about 20 – 25 minutes, considering the amount of people in the restaurant I was impressed. Food was fresh, kabobs were nicely seasoned and unlike Bamiyan Kabob across the street, they managed to not burn my bread! Soft and edible unlike Bamiyan where it’s like biting into a brick.
Will definitely comeback.

Great cuts of meat for the kabobs and very nice seasoning. Naan is always fresh. Dining room is a bit messy since the owner is working out the new location in Richmond Hill. My pick up order has be messed up twice but was addressed with no fuss, but I have heard this does happen often so double check your order before you leave.

Great service and the food is delicious. Try the kebabs and the best is, there isn’t a long line up … People are friendly and the servers are sweet.

Gave Afghan Cuisine a try as Bamiyan Kabob in the same plaza is packed with people. We ordered the dinner combo and the chicken kabobs had great flavour was nice and tender. The restaurant also has a nicer environment and more spacious than Baniyan.

Good eatery! Okay food. Okay price
Only issue is this place is near to the noisy (but the best) Bamiyaan Kabob. If you chance — less people and place to sit — I would still prefer to go to Bamiyaan though :-)

I work across the street from Afghan Cuisine. There is a daily lunch special for $ 8.99, includes meat, rice and salad. A noon can be substituted for rice or add for $ 0.99.
Place is always clean, staff will be friendly if you are otherwise you can expect dry to the point service.
There are a few different varieties of meat, seasoned and cooked well.
For $ 10 it’s certainly a bang.

Living in Mississsauga, Afghani places are in abundance and I have probably been to most of the places here. So instead of the chain Bamiyan, I decided to check out this lesser reviewed Afghan Cuisine.
It was probably the most forgettable experience that I have had.
The bad? Trays upon trays with dirty dishes greet you as soon as you walk through the front doors. Not a great impression. Clientele was also a bit depressing, people with sullen faces, eating alone. Whereas at some place like Watan, usually I see large groups dining, and most of the time, they’re smiling and laughing.
The good? The food was decent, good value at $ 7.99 for a select dishes for lunch that lasts up to 3pm. Again, food was good, but forgettable.
If I was in the immediate area, I wouldn’t mind coming back here, but it certainly wouldn’t be my Top 10 choices.

I really enjoyed eating here. I had the Karahi chicken with the salad and naan. It was very flavourful and you get a lot in one plate. I also ordered the yogurt drink, I really enjoyed it. It was very cooling and perfect for such a warm day. The place overall was very well kept and quite comfortable. The service was also friendly and efficient. They also have takeout if you prefer. I would definitely recommend coming here.

This humble shop a few doors down from Bamiyan Kabob is a quaint restaurant that provides an ideal setting for a small to medium sized gathering (1 – 10 people).
The interior can be compared to big-​name family friendly restaurants. And they have a good number of booths and tables. At 6pm, on a weekday, many tables were available. The menu focuses on their meat offerings; however, they have a good number of vegetarian dishes as well.
I ordered the chicken kabob combo that includes 6 chunks of mildly spiced meat accompanied by a salad and a bed of rice with a side of naan bread. The chicken was very juicy and tender. The salad is primarily shredded lettuce with a few pieces of tomato, onion, and cucumber. Basic but delicious. The rice isn’t the traditional Afghani rice but very aromatic.
I think the biggest accomplishment is that this place converted my ever-​skeptical dinner companion. Although he was curious initially about the «new flavors» that were testing his palate, by the end of the meal, he was looking at the menu and telling me about what he would order next time. I consider this a significant win.
Service is friendly. You have to go up to a counter to order and pay at the beginning of the meal (as appears to be common with Afghani restaurants) and then they will call your number when it is ready. However, it is served on appropriate dinnerware. They are efficient at cleaning up after customers finish and appear flexible to accommodate customers not familiar with the cuisine.
Price point is higher than Kabul-​Tehran but the portions are about equal. I feel I must point out that Afghan cuisine charges an additional $ 2 for rice. All in all, I would definitely return to this place in the future. Delicious!

FatCat try few dishes at this place before and was planning to give 4 stars for food. Yesterday FaCat try lamb shank — yummy! Immediately upgrade rating to 5 stars for food.
Fatcat wishing he become sentient earlier in life. FatCat not realize how much good food humans eating in restaurants.
Things FatCat Like
— food is good
— service is good
— place is clean
— prices are more than fair — especially for quality and quantity of food
Things FatCat not Like
— Location is too close to gangster neighborhood of Flemingdon park. FatCat risking one of 9 lives every time he want to try lamb shank. But totally worth it. FatCat is very very versatile cat. FatCat start listening to more rap music to understand gangster mentality so FatCat know how to handle himself in gangster neighborhood. Problem solved.

I was on my way to a bigger chain Afghani restaurant down the street from this place and I was thinking about how much they’ve raised their prices over the years. Then I saw Afghan Cuisine so I swerved into the parking lot. It’s fairly spacious and pretty clean on the inside. The guy taking my order helped me tweak everything so I got the most food for the least amount of money. The meat was all cooked well and the portions were generous. I’m a big fan of qabli rice and it was good, but not exceptional. The amount of food I got for $ 20 was impressive. This is a pretty good place for Afghan food, I’d recommend it if you are in the area.

Excellent Afghani food. The have a number of vegetarian choices — all of them excellent. Their spicy red relish us a good zinger. Make sure to try their dogh (lassi, Afghani style).
