Afghan Kebob Cuisine

Thanks to another Unilocal reviewer I tried the LAMB SHANK and want to thank him for that.
BIG thank you to David.
The LAMB SHANK can be described as perfect on that KABULI bed of rice.
I haven’t tried anything else as I know I can get my fix wit this dish. I like it so much I order an extra piece of lamb shank.
Their hot sauce kinda sucks but its edible. (Tastes like a mix of Chinese hot sauce with crushed chillies)
Customer service is great. The girls at the front are friendly and kind.
Lamb shank fix? Go here. Like right now.
This place gets lost in this mostly Asian plaza with KENZO /​SUGAR MARMALADE/​CHA TIME. (BUT LOVE ALL THOSE options)
SUPPORT these guys please because they deserve to succeed… Small businesses matter and these are good people.

Nice and quiet place for lunch. Got in before 3:30 to try one of the 8.99 meals and got the shami kebob. Was only a 1 $ off their regular menu (+a pop), but got it nonetheless. Very decent food prices. The staff was also nice and polite.
Food came in about 8 – 10 minutes like the guy said. They don’t give you naan bread like other places do.
Big portions of food, fresh. However, comparing to bamyan kebab, the salad was quite empty, just a lot of lettuce put on, barely any tomatoes or cucumbers or even sauce on top of it.
The rice was topped off with a nice flavour and the kebab was amazing!
Will definitely be back to try their lamb shank!

One of my favorite places to eat when I want to get away from the traditional American and excessive Chinese restaurants.
I’ve never tried a different cuisine other than the said above until last year and man, all I’ve got to say is that I’ve been missing out for way too long.
The staff here is very polite and some of them actually engages in conversations with you, I’ve never been looked at weird or spoken rudely to, which ive experienced first hand at other middle eastern restaurants in the area. They treat me like a brother.
Another bonus about this place is that they deliver right to your door step through «Skip The Dishes» and you could also call and order for pickup.
I’ve introduced my parents, siblings and a handful of friends to their food and they also love it. ⁵⁄₅ from a newly loyal customer.

Great alternative when I don’t wanna drive all the way to Watan Kabob! This place is literally up the street from me… and much more quiet than Watan. I *don’t* think they have fish though which sucks ’cause I really like the fish at Watan.
I came in for a takeout and it did take a while for my order to roll out, just under 15mins I’d say, but everything was fresh, fresh, fresh! Tastes similar to Watan, but the Tandoori Chicken ($ 11.99 for dinner) here wasn’t as red/​spicy. Could use a bit more heat, but that’s what the hot sauce is for, right?
Dinners are good value as you can spread them out for at least 2 meals. Once for dinner, the rest for lunch the next day!
Salad was meh as lettuce was shredded, bottom didn’t look super fresh, and dressing was just squirted on top. I just ate it to mix up the protein/​carbs combo.
Would definitely visit again and check out other items on the menu, especially the lamb shank!

The inside of the place looks a lot nicer than you’d expect. I’m sure I’m not alone in this first impression of the restaurant.
I visited 6 minutes before closing, while they were cleaning. Though they wouldn’t allow sit-​down diners at the time (which is totally understandable), they did accommodate my group’s fairly large takeout order.
I had the lamb shank dinner, which includes rice, salad, and naan ($ 11.50). The shank was a decent-​sized portion of meat, nothing super impressive. It was cooked to be very moist and flavourful though, and easily fell off the bone. Though it isn’t inherently unique in any way, I haven’t visited many places that have a similar dish. It was very good.
The basmati rice was topped with raisins and carrots, and was quite sweet. It’s definitely a unique pairing that I’m happy I’ve tried. The naan and salad are quite nondescript — shaved lettuce and a thick slice of naan. Not the worst I’ve tried, but nothing special. The salad didn’t come with any dressing, which may delight many (but not me).
The 4-​star rating I’m giving is for the core offering — the lamb shank. The accompaniments in the meal were decent but not noteworthy. Service was adequate, the servers were friendly and created a casual atmosphere.
Lastly — the part that matters most — would I make a return visit? Yes. That lamb shank is too good.

The quality of food is consistently good.
Favourites: Shami rice dinner, korma, and beef kebobs.
Their chapli is a bit too spicy for my liking. But if your tolerance for spice is on the hotter side you may like it.
When I order take out, I always order an extra side of rice. Their rice is that good!

Overall its pretty decent place I’ve eaten there a few times now in the Bamiyan kebab sweepstakes.
Service is pretty basic. The attractive Asian woman with blonde hair seems to be spending more time in the back than in the front. I guess there’s more than just food that’s cooking.
The rice, naan bread and salad are just standard fare. I had the double tikka dinner with a skewer of beef and chicken for $ 16.50 which is a decent price since the quality is just as good as anywhere.
I never got around to trying the lamb shank that people have talked about in previous reviews. I would say Bamiyan Kabab does give slightly larger portions of meat although the quality is comparable.

I sometimes go here if I am at Canada computers (next door) and feeling hungry. This is an afghan eatery, meaning it’s similar to Arabic or Persia food, but different. The lack of humas is my biggest peve. Otherwise the portions are large and the food is good. I usually get a spicy double chicken kabob dinner. It comes with rice, salad, and a big piece of bread. With a drink and taxes it’s less than 15 $, and unless your a big eater like myself, one portion is enough for two people. The place also got renovated recently, which is badly needed. Overall, 4 out of 5.

Dudes and dudettes — I want to give this place 5 stars or 3 stars! I don’t know what to do!
After reading David’s review, I had to go and try the lamb shank. I walked in and the place was very quiet. There are some slight cracks in the flooring, but place was nicely decorated and furnished. However, when you walk in, you are hit with a big grill/​food smell and some people may like that, but I prefer not to smell like my food. In addition, there is no wall menu, and the cashier (at first) seemed very distant. So for service and atmosphere 2.5÷5.
But I didn’t dine in, I did takeout. I knew I had to do takeout the moment I walked in because I don’t like to smell like food or else I’d end up eating myself. I digress. So yeah, ordered the lamb shank with rice.
The lamb shank was very tasty and was fall off the bone. I can see why David likes it a lot. The rice was more sweet and while not my style, I just added their hot sauce to it. The hot sauce is more of a Chinese style hot pepper sauce that you might see at a congee place, but it goes very well with the rice. Delicious. So food ⁵⁄₅.
I guess that means on average, that’s a 3.75÷5, and I’ll round up to 4 since its a small business and I want to support them.

Excellent Afgan food near the heart of Mississauga right by the Mavis and Burnhamthorpe junction.
We had the lamb shank which came with basmati rice with raisins and some bread.
The lamb was excellent and rice very moist.
I topped it with lots of chilli sauce and had a wonderful meal!
See the pics I took!
I have since been back and this time had the lamb chops which was quite good but I think I will stick with the shank next time!
