    I have to say service and food were great. Well deserved 5 stars experience. Price here are very reasonable. The restaurant is somewhat hidden. There are plenty of free parking here. We got the beef mantu (if you check in on Yelp, you get a free appetizer), Beef Korma and the lambchop. Everything is so spot on and delicious. The beef mantu had lots of flavors. stuffing was very generous. The Beef Korma was so tender and the beef was very flavorful. lambchop is a boney but it was also very flavorful. Portion size are reasonable. Prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back. Too bad we are moving away in the area. When we are in the area, we will definitely go back. I highly recommend trying this place.

    There was some hype coming to this place but it was not a great experience. The service was good but the food was really bland. We've been to a few afghan restaurants around the lower mainland and this one definitely wasn't one of the better ones. We got the Bolani, Mantu, and Ashak to start. These were the best things we ordered by far. Tons of flavour in every bite. We then ordered the Pallow and the Tekka combo to share. The rice was flavourless and the meat was almost non existent. The meat is buried under the rice in the Pallow but there was only about 4 small pieces. And the picture below shows the meat from the Tekka combo. As I said, the dishes were missing something. I always feel bad asking for salt or pepper if it's not already on the table, so I rarely do. But the table beside us went up to the front and asked for salt. The man from the table said he's from Afghanistan and has been to this restaurant before but doesn't know why it tastes like there isn't any salt in the dishes. I gave it 3 stars because it's a nice place, but the food was lacking a lot. We most likely won't be back.

    no star I recently dined at Afghan Cho pain and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. I ordered a rice lamp, and I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food, the rice have too bad , I was told that to waiter she told me ok and I call the chef , he coming and he told I'm form the chicken and I was told him the story again :Firstly, the meat had a strange aftertaste that was quite off-putting. It didn't taste fresh and left an unpleasant lingering flavor in my mouth. This significantly detracted from my enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, the rice had an unusual aftertaste as well, which seemed to indicate that it was either old or improperly stored. the told what I can do for you, next time we going to fixing the problem that all

    A feast! - qabeli pallow, chicken kebab combo and mantu.

    My Turkish coworker recommended this place for Afghani food and he was spot on. The food was absolutely delicious. I fell in love with qabeli pallow after I had it at work and at other places. It is similar to briyani though the method of cooking and spices used are different. I am starting to like having nuts and raisins in my rice now. Over here the portion is pretty big, so you will likely have some leftovers for packing. The qabeli pallow here is cooked with beef shank. The beef just melts in your mouth and falls off easily when poked with a fork. Do not be deceived by the dried out looking exterior. It is not tough or dry at all. It also comes with a vegetable side which is equally yummy. The chicken combo comes with salad, vegetable side, 2 chicken kebab and rice and naan. The chicken is also soft and juicy, with a slightly charred taste that reminds me of tandoori chicken. The mantu appetizer is very much like a Chinese dumpling (jiaozi). It is filled with minced beef and onions and topped with a yogurt, chickpeas sauce. The dumpling is chewy but not overly so and the whole package is just so good. There are 3 dumplings in the appetizer. The place is fairly big with two dais for those who want to experience sitting on the dais and eating from it. I will assume plates of food will be placed there and you sit around it, eating from it. Very similar to the traditional way of eating in the Malay culture. The paintings on the wall literally popped out, creating a 3-D effect. It is a great place to dine.

    I stopped by here specifically because there was a Yelp check in perk. However, when I asked, the server said they no longer honour that deal. I was a bit disappointed and the owners should make it a point to have that offer removed ASAP. We ended up ordering a couples combo ($28.95). Their pop selection consisted of Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, 7 Up and Sprite. Basically, a very limited selection of cola or lemon-lime soda. I asked for Sprite and ended up Coke. It was a slightly bumpy start to my dinner. The restaurant is located in a business plaza. There is plenty of parking available during the dinner rush. I am not sure how the daytime would work out when all the other businesses are opened. I find it kind of interesting to find all these restaurants in located in Surrey plazas. Food was more than enough for two people. Meat was nicely marinated. We really enjoyed the rice. I particularly like the cilantro chutney on everything as it was fairly spicy. The naan was alright as I like Indian naan more. Overall, it was a 3.5 star experience.

    Great and very tasty food! I love the different spices mixed in their meats , salads & rice! Worth the drive and money!

The steak was tender and cooked well, and it came with condiments like jus and steak sauce, which added to the experience. However, the steak itself could have used a bit more seasoning and a stronger smoky flavor to really elevate it. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience with room for improvement in flavor depth.

    I personally did not enjoy any part of this dining experience.

The two ladies were just talking off on the side and texting on their phone all in plain sight. I understand there may be downtime in any shift but it lowers the vibe of the dining experience and also our soft drinks took forever to come to our table. just a Coke and just a sprite - also no offer for refills or asking if we wanted other drinks. the food itself took a LONG time to come out - only two entrees, no appetizers or fancy platters. once the food did come out I was surprised that everything was SO salty. also weird it's auto served with ketchup and bbq sauce. My steak had a lot of gristle on it and typically when the waitress would check in how things were I'd either mention it or they would apologize for the cut - but neither of the servers came by. I also didn't want to risk waiting another half hour for mediocre food and service. a family came in and they were seated right near us even though the restaurant was empty so that was also weird seating. when our meals were over and plates taken away eventually, we waited again for 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could get our bill. it's a weird layout because it's like the restaurant wants to be boujie but the service and food just don't meet the criteria. Needless to say it was not a good birthday dinner and I wouldn't recommend it.

Unfortunately, the portion of fries was RIDICULOUSLY small. They must have given us something like ten fries, and they didn't even season them! I understand that a lot of people are worried about their sodium intake, but french fries need to be salted to taste even moderately edible! And when someone orders six pieces of chicken, they're obviously going to need more than a single serving of fries (just saying). Each piece of fried chicken was quite small, especially compared to chain restaurants like Church's Chicken or Kentucky Fried Chicken. I assume that this is because they use only halal meat in this restaurant (which I'm guessing is more expensive and more difficult to obtain than regular chicken). But to their credit, the restaurant's owners gave us eight pieces of chicken, which we appreciated as it helped make up for the small portions. Unfortunately, the chicken was also not salted and didn't even seem fried. It looked and tasted more like "boast chicken" which is the less oily and less greasy version of fried chicken. I can't speak for any other menu items at this restaurant, but I wouldn't recommend ordering their fried chicken. If you want to get a tastier fried chicken (and you're not afraid of going to Richmond) go to Red Rooster Fried Chicken instead. It's also a fried chicken restaurant, but resoundingly more delicious.

The spring rolls were freshly fried, crispy and very flavourful. They were also uniquely sliced and paired very well with a chilli fish sauce for dipping. The pho was good! The menu indicated the soup was simmered for at least 16 hours and I could tell. It had a strong beefy flavour and came boiling hot. The beef was also very tender and paired well with the rice noodles. The noodles were cooked well, however they were a wider noodle. I personally like thinner rice noodles with my pho however the noodles still complemented the soup well. The bowl of pho was on the pricier side however given the area it is expected. Would return if I'm craving Vietnamese food to try another dish!

It felt too squishy and I felt like I was unintentionally overhearing the next table's conversation. I asked to be moved to another table as there were some that were available. I was seated for quite some time, but wasn't offered any tea or water. I noticed that other tables were asked which option they preferred, but I was just given cold water. A lot of their tables didn't seem to be placed strategically. For example, one table was placed directly behind the entrance "greeting booth", and my (second) table was placed right outside the kitchen area and was in the way. I found it hard to flag down a server even though it wasn't a big place. It's possible that since the second guest at my table was running late, they thought to wait to approach me upon their arrival. The Lemongrass chicken salad roll was absolutely delicious. Probably the best salad roll I've had in a long time. The Lemongrass beef short rib portion was massive. It was very tasty and almost good enough for 1.5 portions. The presentation for their drinks and food were on point. The lychee mohito tasted strongly of lime with subtle lychee. Although I find that the customer service and seating weren't the best, the food definitely is worth it. 5 stars for food 3 stars for service
