I’m usually unable to finish my entire meal but I ATE. Literally everything on my plate. The chicken was so flavourful and was not dry at all. The rice was seasoned so nicely. And the salad was very fresh. I still cannot believe that I ate that much food but it was so good. I couldn’t stop eating I will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I ordered the half chicken dinner and it was delictable. My only complaint is that the Breast portion is a little dry and the bread wasn't that fresh. Usually this is not the case. I have been coming to this location for over 9 years. This location has a really nice outdoor patio that is calming and quiet. I love the vibe of this place. The inside of the place is decorated nicely and is filled with art. It is absolutely huge.

My family and I were in town for a hockey tournament and I love Afghan cuisine so thought we try this place and we were NOT disappointed! The portions were absolutely huge and they included extra dips and very delicious!

This is one of the nicer dine-in locations. It’s really big inside so it feels roomy and open. The decor is nice and lighting is medium to bright. The service was exceptional and fast. Food came out perfect and tasted consistent with the other locations. I live far but I’m glad I came to this location. Thanks for the good food and clean atmosphere.

It was my first time trying Afghan food and I must admit that I wasn't expecting much, but it was a great surprise. The service was efficient. It didn't take long. I started salivating just from the aroma of the place. The food was perfect and in considerable quantity. Great seasoning, with lots of flavor. The bread that came as a side dish was warm and also very good. I will definitely be back and I will bring my family to try it too.

Decently priced food and it is delicious as well. Staff were nice and ordering was easy. They have an insanely large dining area, but it is not high-end and more cafeteria style. You order at the counter and then bring your food to whatever table you would like. Great for a quick and delicious bite, but I wouldn't recommend it for a date. They do have a large patio as well, which was closed because of the weather.

Very popular place went here for the 1st time for lunch, and there were lots of people lined up for their delicious food. They're friendly and patient. They took their time to explain what some of their food was like and tasted. The food was made promptly, but you had to go up and get it yourself. Took a star away cause it was pretty cold in the dining area. The washroom was cold as well and had stalls missing toilet paper. The tables weren't cleaned properly, and some were even sticky Food was great once again would recommend to others
