The food is the star here. The portions are generous. I got the Kabuli Palau (lamb shank with rice pilaf and sweet carrots and raisins with saffron) this was very tender and fall off the bone. They served a side salad, pita and three dips. Small amounts of creamy hummus, refreshing tzatziki and a honest to God garlicky Toum! I also got a spinach and cheese Pide which was really well done. They don't skimp on the quality of the food. Two men were cooking and serving, both were engaged and seemed to be enjoying making the food. They had smiles on their faces when they saw how much we were enjoying the food. Good Job Guys! This is a small restaurant in a strip mall offering seating for maybe 8-10 people. Does a brisk takeaway business with the donairs. read more

Afghan Turkish Cuisine - Mixed donair - chicken & beef with Coke Zero - Afghan Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Went to this place because it looked decent from the outside. Absolutely tiny portions! What a ripoff! Will NOT be going back to this place and would NOT recommend! On top of that service as very slow. read more

All of the food I've ordered here has been amazing and delicious! I've ordered the mixed donair and the meat as well as the falafel was super flavorful (you can tell they use a good amount of spices to season their food) I also got their Kabuli plau (lamb shank), which was tender and fell off the bone as I was eating it. The flavor of the lamb shank was wonderful, I really enjoyed it with the turmeric rice and the tzatziki. The restaurant doesn't look modern or fancy, but the authentic food is worth it to come-I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others . What a great and reasonable price for the amount of food you get too. I'm looking forward to coming back here again read more

Afghan Turkish Cuisine - Mixed donair - Afghan Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

My favourite donair spot. Delicious and filling. Very friendly people and they are always very kind.

I've worked in the area for over a year and I've always been curios. lucky for me my coworker I was working with highly recommended this place so we stopped in. Man I'm kicking myself for not taking the plunge earlier. The staff was straight business but pleasant. The food was outstanding, I love Donairs s as nd have been handed disappointment after disappointment, but this place was by far in my top 3 for donair spots in the area and surrounding areas. The protein was perfectly seasoned causing a party in your mouth. The portions for the prices your paying for was outstanding. Especially in this time of higher costs and tighter budgets, it was a breath of fresh air. The ambience is basic in a good way, it was quiet and chill and not to crowded. I highly recommend stopping in for lunch if you're in the area. read more

This place is amazing, their food is so good best Turkish food I have had in my life. Service is the best you can tell they really care about their customers. Me and my family have been going here for so long and have never had a problem with anything we love supporting them! read more

Very clean, great food (doner) and high-quality family restaurant! The appearance and ambiance aren't modern or luxurious, which made us hesitate before entering, but we made the right decision! Unfortunately, a man at the table next to us was sick and didn't cover his mouth, so we decided to leave and eat in the car. However, this didn't affect our review, as the experience was otherwise great. It wasn't the restaurant's fault that an inconsiderate individual, who clearly didn't understand that if you're sick, you should stay home or opt for takeout, chose to cough openly--even in the faces of his own children! read more

Never been to Afghan Turkish Cuisine although I've driven by it many, many times. It's located around the corner from Ramen Gaoh. We dropped in on a Saturday (around 5:00pm) and it was fairly busy. A lot of takeout/to go orders by customers. The inside has three tables (10 seats) and a couple window counter seats to people watch. It's no frills; order and pay at the counter. They did have a TV playing some music videos in the background. The menu consists of Kabuli plau (Afghan pilaf), platters, donairs, appetizers and desserts. FYI: for the three sauces, you can ask/choose which sauces you want. - Turkish coffee ($2.50) - Lahmacun ($3.99) - super thin but the squeeze of lemon on top gave it a nice acidity. Perfect to share. - Lamb shank platter ($14.99) - all their platters come with rice, salad, pita bread and three sauces (garlic, hummus and tzatziki). The garlic was my favourite; if you're a garlic fan, this is more garlicky than you can imagine! Tasty stuff. The lamb shank itself was tender, yet still retained a good bite to it. - Adana platter ($12.99) - both beef skewers were flavourful and well seasoned. - Chicken platter ($12.99) - J's dish which came with a pile of chicken. He really enjoyed the hot sauce that came drizzled on top and asked for more. Would return to ATC for more eats. read more

Hidden gem. Great dishes especially with kabuli rice. My favourite is their leg of lamb platter. Only a few tables so we take out. Yummm.

It's been a minute since I've eaten here. Sadly, the quality of food and service have both gone down. Save your money or go elsewhere.

Small gig can house almost 10 - 12 heads only. They always. say good things come in small packages and this is one great example of that. Getting busy when i came but well its a small place so 5 clients it will look busy already,10 at a time would look like a disaster. Smell of grilling meat will say hello when you enter the place. There few free parking near the restaurant if you are LUCKY. Looks like this is a family owned business . Menu is not complicated. i got the mix platter it is pide beef and shave chicken with 3 kind of sauces, salad and kabuli rice....yellow cooked rice somewhat adds on my hunger every time i will visit a restaurant like this. The blending of flavors and the beef and chicken is like an atomic bomb that explodes inside my mouth on every bite, meat is somewhat crunchy and the chicken was tender and cooked into perfection, lets say the way i want it. portion is huge but since i thought this will be my last meal so i ate every thing in my plate.(holy cow my blood sugar will shoot again later) I also order a slice of baklava dessert, when i was in Turkey every single day i ate 1 slice of this plus the great Turkish tea in there it was a small slice but in here it was huge. Baklava is a rich sweet dessert made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup, a slice of this you get approximately 230 total calories but with the size of their slice i am not sure. I love this place, i like the ceiling when i came by chance my outfit matches their ceiling hahahhaha. Small place but still they managed to showcase their culture with some decors and frame inside, Noise level is just ok, small place but neat the only problem is the smell of the food will really stick on your clothes. Good for family of small group and kids friendly, they accept cash, card, and credit. I had a very pleasant experience eating here, the guy from the cashier also the one taking order was so friendly.Kudos to you and to all the good tasting dishes in your menu. No doubt i shall return read more

Cheap and tasty donair shop. Parking is available along Hastings on the weekends, as well as on the side streets. The inside feels a bit like someone's cluttered home. Some can say it is just very efficient use of space. The dining area is fine though. I was scratching my head at the picture of the Taj Majal on the wall though. Staff were friendly. The donairs come in 2 sizes, and honestly could be a wee bit bigger, even for the large. With that said, I'm probably spoiled by all the burrito places out there. There are plenty of sauces and fillings to choose from. The food was overall quite delicious. Definitely worth checking out if one wants a donair in this area. I don't think there are any other places that sell this around here. read more

Came here to try the kabuli plau and the afghan platter. Omg both of them are so good and so worth the money you paid for. Expensive for like a shady store but it was very big portion. Ohh yeah the place is a bit shady but definitely the place you should go if you crave for afghani or turkish food. The kabuli plau was really good but the afghan turkish platter was just damn amazing. It definitely got everything and made it sublime. This place is really recommended from me. Cheers! read more

This is my jam right here! Legit Afghan Turkish food (not that I've actually been to Afghanistan or Turkey, but I digress). Great flavour and value. My new go-to is the special 12.99 with chicken shawarma and some manner of beef but it's hard to distinguish amongst the delicious melange. It's a mountainous affair beginning with a layer of pita, atop which is spread various sauces like tzaziki, hummus, garlic mayonnaise, lots of meat mixed with pulao rice (consisting of delicate tender raisins, saffron and carrots), finished with a row of salad on top including lettuce, thinly sliced raw onion, parsley, finally flanked on either side by sliced tomatoes. It's a masterpiece I tells ya! Hard to finish in one sitting especially if you have been intermittent fasting. Good for at least two meals, savour every bite. My old favourite was the mixed plate, 11.99$ which seems very popular with other patrons as over half the people ordered it last time I was there. Cannot blame them, it is delicious. Try the special though, not sure how long it will be around or if it's one of those permanent specials (fingers crossed!) but definitely check it out while you can. My bf loves the Adana plate, I'm more of a shawarma person but it looks amazing as well. Parking we usually find on Hastings street as there is a small parking lot beside the restaurant on Willingdon but it is usually full, so we've always found parking within a couple blocks down Hastings. By bus there are loads of options as it's right on the corner of Hastings and Willingdon. Atmosphere is alright and many people do takeout, but it's nice to have it fresh on a plate even if you can't finish it all in one sitting. Come here you won't regret it! read more

I decided to check this place out since it's so close to my house. Upon arrival the restaurant its self is small,clean, and overall a good size for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the pide and the chicken platter. I didn't realize there was two different types of pide and the one we got was like a flat bread with meat and salad on top. It was pretty good but was dry due to not coming with any sauce! They also charge a $1.00 extra for sauce which is ridiculous in my opinion. If you give customers enough sauce they wouldn't need extra but a tablespoon isn't. I ordered the chicken platter which again the meat was delicious but my salad came with no dressing at all! And I had 3 tablespoons of different sauces/hummus and wasnt enough so I went to ask for more and they didn't even fill up the container for the sauce but they charge extra for it. Overall the food is good but this isn't authentic Turkish food. I think it's more afghan if anything but the portion size is good and the meat is delicious! read more

{This establishment was previously under the name Saray and has opened now under new management} Mmmm, brings a whole new meaning to "Sunday Turkey Dinner"! We ordered from Skip the Dishes and found portions generous & prices reasonable. Manti are dime sized dumplings served in an sharp zesty garlic sauce. I highly recommend the entire party partake so everyone's breath is equally potent ;) The Dolma's had a pleasantly substantial mint flavour to them. The platters were huge and the roast lamb had a beautiful sweet mustard sauce. Tabbouleh and other salads were fresh with quality ingredients. Had to 'google' some of the unfamiliar menu items - only adding to the fun of expanding one's culinary borders. Would like to sample from the variety of deserts another time! When an item we had ordered was not available, the owners called personally and were accommodating and kind. read more

There are so many options but my favorite is Kabuli Pulao ($13). It is super tender, melt in your mouth lamb shank with a bed of delicious rice cooked with sweet sweet carrots and raisins. Comes with a side of salad, pita and not one, but 3 very generous portions of different sauces and dips. The garlic dip is really really good. You order, pay and pick up your food at the counter. There are about 5 tables and some window booth seats in the restaurant (self serve). It's unfortunate they're not in my location zone for Skip the Dishes, I would order this for lunch all the time. Taste: 5/5 Service: N/A Value: 5/5 read more

Afghan Turkish Cuisine - Kabuli Pulao ($13) Lamb shank is hidden in the rice - Afghan Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I have such conflicted feelings about this place. I'll start by saying the food is awesome! I've tried all their appetizers and a few of their desserts, the food is always great. My go to is the mix platter. You get a salad, a few sauces, a mix of meat, and rice. The platter is soooo good! It's cheap, filling and the flavors are fantastic! I can never finish a full platter in one sitting. The reason I'm conflicted about this place is because more often than not, the service is pretty bad. I've only ever had one good experience. The girl behind the counter was sweet, asked how my day was going, etc. I've been shorted money back (my fault for not counting before leaving I guess), I made an order for pick up and they gave the order out to someone else.. somehow I got attitude as if it was my fault even though I was understanding and gave them zero grief. The guys behind the counter are rarely pleasant to talk to. I feel like I'm bothering them for ordering usually. I think I've only had 2 good experiences. It really depends who is working. I love the food though. It ranks pretty high on my favorite places for cheap eats list. I only ever order through Skipthedishes now. It seems to be going well so far. Zero grief, but still get the good food. read more

Afghan Turkish Cuisine - Mix platter. Delish! - Afghan Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

All my co workers were addicted as well. and of course i had to make my bf and the friends hooked to..... They do sell donairs as well but seems like platters are what they are most known for. The mix platter is so delicious it comes to $11 before taxes and the portions are huge!! im stuffed by the time i eat half already.... You can also order on skip the dishes they usually have some kind of coupon code and live close by!! Free parking on the streets. they accept credit/debit or cash as well! read more

I was around the area on a rainy April Monday for another appointment and decided to buy a dinner to share with The Hubs. I have tried this place when it first opened, but I think it is time to try again. The place had 3 people eating in and 2 others waiting for their order to finish. I deliberated and decided to try the mixed platter on takeout. I ordered mixed platter at 5:58pm, and it was ready by 6:06pm. While there, the phone is ringing frequently for orders. 3 people worked in the kitchen, so that explains the speedy service. Taste, portion, price: portion is pretty good for the price. The meat is tasty, the hummus and tzaziki are flavourful. Overall: I will come back when I am in the area. read more

It was my first time to this place and decided to go with a solid 4-star. I ordered beef shawarma plate. The rice was really good and sides including garlic sauce and humus were fresh and delicious. The meat was not my favourite specially how they've chopped it into very tiny pieces is not my thing. nevertheless it was decent and above average. The portions are huge and value for money. Will give it another try soon. read more

I like this place when I can't think of a dinner option and have them as a fallback. Their donairs are quite filling. They fill them to the point where a fork and knife actually come in handy. Always go with the hot sauce and extra tzaziki. I like their meats. I generally do the beef and occasionally the lamb. I like that they aren't overly salty. Another solid option is the mix platter. A combo of meats and rice with a small salad, some pita and garlic sauce. The dolmas are a great side. They have a selection of cold drinks and desserts as well. The inside is quite small. A few tables but nothing special. A tv that usually plays cricket. Service is hit and miss and the prices seem to change from visit to visit which is interesting. Parking is tricky but there is a parking lot about 2 mins walking distance read more

I haven't had food like this in a while. So good. Service was not that friendly initially but the food makes up for it.

Doesn't look like much when you pass by it, but it tastes real good! My boyfriend and I love this place! We always come here, they offer great service and have good menu options. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fast service when they are in a rush. read more

Delicious Afgani food here. This casual spot is located in the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood and offers tasty dishes with a variety of meats and combos to choose from. I ordered the mixed meat plate which includes beef, chicken, rice, vegetables, pita and three dips. The food was served quickly. For drinks, there's a fridge of cold beverages to choose from. The rice is cooked well with the perfect texture and taste. I'll be coming back soon! read more

Afghan Turkish Cuisine - Mixed meat combo plate - Afghan Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Often times for me, this type of food is the fast shawarma, Shish taouk wraps or plates if you can take some time to sit down. It's good! However this place takes it a couple notches higher. They even have a sign saying they are not fast food lol. The better quality is evident upon first bite for a shawarma plate, as there's a nice moistness to the plate overall. Quite satisfying Will have to go back and try their roast lamb and stuff, it looked good! The place is more of a care than a restaurant read more

Ordered the mix platter at 7pm. It's the first thing I've eaten today and I couldn't finish it. Also very tasty

Absolutely delicious! Fast, tasty, and fresh! Will def visit again! The donairs are perfect. Something for everyone on the menu!

Delicious food, You get "American sized" portions for about $10 that really could feed two people if you're not starving to death. Food is delicious, service is always friendly... They have a homemade, family sort of a feel. But the food is well prepared, quite savory and flavorful. it's always clean and healthy and I love this place for a convenient, healthy meal. It's not fancy, of course, but you could bring a girl on a date here. I would, anyway. read more

Walked by this place a few times and always wanted to try it out. It reads Turkish and Afghan cuisine, so can't go wrong there. Brought lunch here for the family on a rainy Friday. The food were made to order with strong aroma flowing all around. I ordered five rice plates and they all came out with a good blend of spices and flavors. The lamb shank was especially well made with tender meet and a good taste of the lamb. Would definitely go back. read more

I arrived here about 40 minutes before closing at the start of a late night rush. I ordered the Adana and beef platter with a small tzatsiki. Was told they only had 1 order of rice left and asked if salad instead of rice was ok for 1 of them. I had no issue with that since the rice seemed plentiful in the photos. I wait the 15 or so minutes for the food to be cooked and a bunch of other people came which made it quite busy especially when they are closing shortly. I get my food and head home. I get home and open up both boxes and neither had rice. I then keep looking and there was no pita bread for either order. Was very disappointed there was no carbs for the meal. The food was quite delicious tho. The dips(garlic,tzatsiki and hummus) were all amazing. It would have got a higher rating if we got some carbs. Eating the dips with whole wheat crackers wasn't quite the experience I was looking for. read more

AMAZING. My number 1 place to order on SkipTheDish read more

Turkish restaurant that offers different platters, sandwiches and also sweets. The food is okay, good portions though. Service is fast, both to go and staying there. Focused on the platters, the meat comes over a big amount of rice, some salad on the side and three sauces: hummus, tzatziki and garlic paste. It comes with three small squares of pita bread. I missed some more bread for the sauces and also for the meat itself. However, the price (about $10) of the platter is good enough for what it comes with. Order some extra bread could be an interesting option. read more

First time eating takeout here and we loved it! So fresh and flavourful, definitely one of our top new spots to eat. Thank you!! I had the Kabuli Palau and my husband had the chicken platter. Get extra sauce if you are saucy like me!! read more

Food portion was very large, you can definitely get full off of a plater. The sauces go very well with the food and it's quite delicious overall. The best value is probably the chicken or beef platter. I would come back and recommend this place to friends. read more
