    Since there's not many Shawarma places in Pickering, I was curious to try this place out. I came here on a Friday night when I was craving a shawarma but didn't want to venture out to Scarborough to grab one. The restaurant itself was pretty busy with its usual customers which I was glad to see. I got the shawarma sandwich special (2 sandwiches for 11.99) as well as a falafel sandwich ( $5.99). All together it came out to $20.30 which I thought was pretty reasonable. The shawarma itself was tasty, had good flavor thanks to the garlic sauce. I will say however, they are bit stingy with the tahini sauce, I don't know if it is because the squeeze bottle they use has a small cap, or they are just stingy with the sauce, but even after asked for lots of sauce, the falafel sadnwich and second shawarma were pretty dry on the inside. Pro Tip, If you're looking for an authentic shawarma taste, be sure to ask them to add turnips and pickles. For some reason, they don't automatically add them when you ask for everything, which is a bit strange. So overall, I think this place gets a solid 3 from me. It was an okkk experience. The staff were friendly, the service was fast , but the quality of the food wasn't out of this world. However, I do think it's a pretty good option for shawarma in Pickering.

    Great lookin menu

    My first time to visit this restaurant and my first impression was... AMAZING.:) The young gentlemen taking my order was very friendly and suggested a dinner which I enjoy immensely. It's been YEARS since I've eaten authentic Afghan food and this restaurant truly gave me something to come back for. To the owner & chef, great food To the Guy taking my order, you cool . I will defniately be back again.:) Finally, the restaurant was CLEAN, which means a lot to new comers. Keep up the good work. MARKO

    This place has been getting better and better. To be honest I wasn't a fan but tonight the food was pretty good plus their rice is addictive. Staff is super friendly and portions are huge! I usually get the falafel plate which is one of my faves. Their meat dishes are good too. I would definitely come back to eat here now that the quality of their food has improved in a huge way!_

    Beef tikka meal $12.99

    Beef tikka with salad, rice and naan for $12.99 I got the meal to go so while I was carrying the meal to my car I felt how light my bag was. I found the portion to be very small. The weight is way different when I am carrying Chinese food. The naan was stale. Even after putting in the microwave it could not be saved. It was so tough that by the time I finish eating half the naan my jaw was sore from all the chewing I had to do. Same goes for the the beef. It was tough and chewy but alot better than the naan. The best part of the meal was the salad so you can tell how disappointing this was for me.

    Raw!

    Picked up dinner here and they had put all the heavy items in a wet paper bag so the bottom…read morecompletely ripped open and half my order fell on the ground. They seriously need to pack things better. Food was average, their Scarborough location is much better. The chicken items were pretty good and rice flavourful but the Beef Chapli was dry and the mantu wrapper was hard and dry. Salad is like a coleslaw mix.

    Wow! Absolutely fabulous…read more The regular Afghan restaurant we go to changed their hours and are no longer open for lunch on the weekends. Such a shame. Oh well, ever onward! It gave us the opportunity to try a new place... which is actually closer to home. Our first time here, we picked up a takeaway. The presentation wasn't much to look at but based on the taste, I knew I would be back. We ordered Chicken Breast Kebab, Barg Kebab and Herati Kebab, all from their Keto menu. The next time we dined in. If you want to get your money's worth, this is definitely the way to go. (I don't know if it was a one-off but we got half the food when we ordered the takeaway.) This time we ordered Sardari Kebab and the Lamb Chops. We also ordered the Lamb Shank with the Kabuli rice to take home for dinner. Their lamb is really tender and flavourful. The lamb shank was a little fatty but that what you get sometimes with lamb shank. The Kabuli rice is phenomenal and will be included in every order going forward! Oh, and their naan is really good too. Today I found myself there yet again. Continuing to work my way through their menu, I opted for their Beef Kofta Kebab and my friend ordered their Chicken Breast Kebab. We both had the Kabuli rice. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is spacious and nicely structured for a good flow. The staff are very pleasant and there's just an overall great vibe here. I'm glad we found this place and I imagine I will find myself here often.

Nadi serves up…read moredelicious food in a quaint little space that offers regular table seating as well as elevated on-floor seating. We've tried their juicy kebabs, fork-tender braised lamb shank and appetizers (momos and the creamy roasted eggplant dish) and everything tasted top notch. This small restaurant is run by a family and the service can be a little slow, but you can rest assured the food you will receive is well worth the wait. If you're coming in for the first time, they will enthusiastically recommend their specialty items with warm smiles. Complimentary tea served during our last visit was fragrant and really elevated our meal to the next level. I look forward to returning to try out more of their menu very soon.

    Nestled in a quiet plaza in Scarborough, Nadi is an Afghan restaurant serving good quality kebabs…read moreand grilled dishes. We went there to try their Chicken Tandoori, sheekh kebab on rice served with salad and naan, and Lamb shank with rice and salad. I personally liked the tandoori chicken and felt that the other grilled meat could have had more flavour, it seemed a bit dry. We also tried their lamb shank with rice and salad and the meat was very tender cooked in a tomato based gravy. Definitely better than the grilled meat. But it wasn't the food that stole the show; it was the ambiance and the sense of community that truly made the experience memorable. Sharing a meal here sitting on their beautifully decorated space during the holy month of Ramadan brought forth a different experience which is what made it special!

    On my quest to try new restaurants this year, Butt Karahi was definitely on my list…read more The restaurant itself is really nice inside with a variety of seating options. Regular tables, comfy casual chairs or hightop benches in little alcoves. There are TV's everywhere so I imagine this place is quite active during game nights and other events. We came early evening during Ramadan so I'm sure it was the calm before the storm (so-to-speak). We were greeted at the door and offered anywhere we wanted to sit in the restaurant. They don't have paper menus so you'll have to either scan a QR code or go to their website to look at the menu. Our server walked us through some of the dishes and explained how some of the dishes were presented. We opted for the rice dish, Yakhni Pulao and garlic naan with butter. The dish was big enough to share between two to three people and I would have only needed to order one naan as they're quite large. The veal was so tender and delicious and the rice was extremely flavourful. The dish over all had the slightest amount of heat. Nothing overwhelming, just a nice slight warmth. If you don't like spice, I'm sure it's something they could leave out. The naan was incredibly delicious and I would definitely order the garlic one again. I was really impressed with restaurant. From the staff to the layout to the food, everything was excellent and I left (before the rush that was sure to come after sundown), with a very happy belly! I will definitely be back.

    We visited Butt Karahi on a Saturday night and I was immediately shocked how full the place was…read more Not only that but they warned us in advance that the karahi takes ~50m to make, so we should order in advance. Well, the food came and it was delicious. We started off with some kebabs which were great, but it was the karahi that really impressed - the classic was excellent but the malai was our favourite. Despite their name, there is nothing ass about this restaurant - definitely recommend!
