This is the fourth time where my I have placed my order for pickup, I arrive at the scheduled time and the counter staff are perplexed and unaware of my order has been placed and accepted ( with both app and text confirmations). I have heard from the staff on each occasion is that it has something to do with the broken but quasi-functioning tablet.

I think bbq sauce on shawarma should be illegal, it doesn't work at all. I thought Johnny Shawarmas was a lot better than this.

We had come to this restaurant on a Saturday evening at around 6:30 pm for dinner. When we had…read morearrived, there was a large soccer team there having dinner therefore, it was quite busy. We were able to secure a booth near the side of the restaurant which didn't have any members of the team, which was large enough for the both of us. We then placed our order, which was the chicken kabob meal for my husband, and the butter chicken meal for myself. We then sat down, and waited about 10-12 minutes for the meal to arrive, which was perfect timing considering that there was a large team to serve while we were there. In the butter chicken meal, I was given a large container of butter chicken, along with pita bread, rice, and salad. I was impressed with how well everything tasted, as the chicken was tender, and the rice with the salad was abundant. I couldn't even eat all of the food, as there was too much of it! Overall, this place was definitely top-notch; excellent amount of food choices, great value, and nice service; would definitely come back if I am in the area again, and would highly-recommend to anyone that is looking for an authentic and delicious meal!

If there was anything good that came out of my failed dinner experience at their neighbour, it was finding this little gem! We placed an order over the phone for pickup. I wanted to get an order of the Tandoori Chicken Fries but they were out of fries that day. Have a back up just in case! I know it's called the Kabab Shoppe but I've been craving butter chicken for a long time. I got that knowing I could mooch off everyone else for a bite of their kabab (I know I'm the worst). The sauce for this butter chicken was perfect. Flavourful without heat! Their naan is a little bit different than what you would get at most other places. The outside is fried a golden brown and the inside is very fluffy and almost reminds me of like a focaccia. I tried a bit of the Kabuli Palau which is a lamb shank over rice with carrots and raisins. This was really good and my definite go to the next time we order from here. My partner gave me a piece each of shish kabab and barg tikka and I'm a little ashamed to say that I couldn't really tell the difference. They were both decent though! A little Covid note as well, there is no indoor seating right now. There are plexiglass barriers separating the counter from guests.

We also ordered "Kunefe" for dessert and enjoyed it.

I love the great flavour of the juicy meat, and the saffron rice was cooked to perfection. I don't normally eat the grilled tomato that traditionally comes with Koobideh, but tonight I devoured that too! I (accidentally) decided to try the green chilli pepper that was also in my takeout container but that turned out to be a mistake because I cannot handle that level of spicy heat (but if that's your thing, go for it!) The staff were really friendly and acknowledged me as soon as I walked in, which was great because I wasn't sure what to expect walking into a new restaurant. The restaurant itself was a small quaint and cozy establishment. Not sure if I'd consider dining in as it feels too small for that experience, but for takeout I would absolutely return for sure!

The restaurant is VERY STRICT with adhering to a TIME LIMIT for seating…read more Signs on the table say: "We request you limit your sit in time to 45 minutes from the time you receive your order on the table." No matter how much food your party orders, no matter how large your party is, you must adhere to this time limit rule. We ordered Koobideh Kebab (ground beef) and chicken leg kebab with rice. It was very well-flavoured with saffron basmati rice and a chargrilled tomato. It was all very delicious. Darband Restaurant has been one our family's preferred places to dine at over the years, especially when we are looking for decent quality Persian cuisine near the Don Mills area.
