This lot & parking lot in general is a super busy especially on a weekend. If you know... you know. so imagine my surprise that I walked in on a Saturday night and found a table right away. Ambiance: None.. you order food, wait, they call your # and you eat, when you are done, be courteous and put your plates away on the counter. There's always chaos during busy times, lines of individuals waiting for food so I guess that could be the "ambiance". It is clean place, all tables were quickly cleaned. Service: Fast & efficient, they have vast knowledge of the menu and can provide suggestions. Food: Mantu - my goodness, these little beef filled dumplings were oozing with flavor. The lentils, the sauce & yogurt absolutely delicious. Chicken breast sandwich - the chicken was very flavorful and great portion size wrapped in a soft naan bread. Steak - the steak it self was a bit dry but I guess that is what is the sauce is for. The kabuli rice & salad was tasty pairings with the steak. Chai - Warm, cardamon chai! Perfect end to the meal. I had forgotten about Bamiyan but was thoroughly pleased with the food & chai. Will definitely be visiting again. read more

This is one of our go-to places when we're craving Afghan cuisine. The menu offers a great variety of kabobs, rice dishes, fresh naan, and traditional Afghan favourites like mantu and chaplee kabob, so there's something for everyone. Everything tastes fresh, kabobs are perfectly seasoned and cooked, served with freshly baked and aromatic naan. The prices are reasonable and there's ample parking available in the plaza. read more

I normally order from the Scarborough and Pickering locations when I'm home, and I've always had great experiences at those locations. Unfortunately, my experience at the Mississauga location has been very different. I had an issue with an order a couple of weeks ago, and the customer service I received was extremely disappointing. The manager did not seem interested in listening to my concerns or resolving the issue, and her tone made me feel like I was simply another customer rather than someone whose experience mattered. I understand that mistakes can happen, but how an issue is handled makes a big difference. Unfortunately, this experience has left a very negative impression, and I will not be returning to this location. Based on my experience, I also would not recommend this location to other customers. It's disappointing because I've consistently had great experiences at the Scarborough and Pickering locations. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving the customer service at the Mississauga location. read more

The food is more middle eastern than Afghan. Traditional Aghan rice meals are served with lentil or potato meat curry and not with tomato or yogurt middle eastern sauce. The Chaplee kabob was likely made from the meat kofta kabob material and lacked onion and tomato chunks as is common in real Chaplee Kabob. Its ok for those who have not experienced tru Afghan food. read more

Parking is shared with other restaurants in the complex. Avoid 12-2pm on the weekend due to lunch rush from nearby companies. Not very veggie friendly, but the boulagnee is tasty. It's similar to the Indian paratha/Mexican quesadilla. Just this alone will fill you up. The wait during lunch rush for this one item is roughly 20 minutes. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Boulagnee. - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We ordered quite a bit from here for 5 adults and the food was well-prepared, delicious, and in substantial sizes. We also ordered a Barg Wrap and an Aaloo Paratha that isn't shown in the pictures and the wrap was soft and tasty and the meat inside was tender. The paratha was a bit plain and reminded me of an aaloo paratha. It was missing a sauce or some toppings. The rest of the food including the Chapli and Chopan kabobs were good. The appetizers were very tasty and better than Afghan fine dining places I've went to. And the kabli lambshank meat was made perfectly tender. Loved the naan as it's a bit different but great to grab leftover sauces in your plate. The service was helpful, speedy, and orderly. The place itself was nothing special, more like a family style diner. Would recommend to go back if you want to feed a family under $100 and make them full and happy. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - 2 skewer Tandoori chicken, with rice and salad (Already ate the naan) - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

We like the food, its fresh and the serving is big. The rice is so tasty and fresh. One of us ordered salmon with rice, it was not the best idea, the salmon was dry and ordered kabilee rice topped with raisins and carrots. It was too oily so didn't enjoy it. They have a great variety of kebabs both beef and chicken and prices are around $12 to $15 which comes with a nan and salad. read more

Didn't take pics because I was starving after my flight but the food was just okay. I have eaten kebabs in the states at a place called rice Mediterranean kitchen and thought it may taste similar to that or other Mediterranean cuisine I have tasted but this may have been more authentic. There weee definitely notes of like cinnamon or nutmeg in the food and it was on the sweeter side instead of being more savory. It was a large portion for the price but I was not thrilled about the taste because it lacked flavor overall. I had to almost douse my plate with salt for it to be to my liking because it was more sweet than savory but this is just my taste buds. There was a white sauce that I pounced over everything that helped as well. Overall, I wouldn't go back to this place because it just didn't fit a flavor profile that I enjoy but I can see others enjoying this meal because it was well balanced with meat, rice and salad and some may like the flavors of the spices. It is a no frills place where you walk in and place your order and wait for your number but you can sit in and enjoy your food. The service was quick and efficient. Nothing bad but just a normal visit to a restaurant. read more

Overall good afghani food however they do not accept debit or credit just cash. As an out of towner, it was very inconvenient and archaic. The flavor of the rice wasn't as good as before and I didn't like the kebab or the filet mignon. Overall quality went down. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - a plate of food - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The food didn't taste good at all the rice was hard, the kabob didn't taste good and the mantu was like sand paper. They put effort into the food but if you want a real kabob and rice meal this is not the spot especially for Afghan food. read more

I was first introduced to Bamiyan Kabob many years ago, when they only had one location at Overlea Boulevard. The location at Drew Road is much more spacious than the original location, but has the same utilitarian vibe, with similar fixed tables, vibrant colors and murals on the walls. Customers order and pay at the counter by the restaurant entrance. When the food is ready, order numbers are announced, and customers pick their food at the counter. I usually order the barg kabob dinner. I enjoy the seasoned rice and the meat. The salad could benefit from a little more dressing. In my most recent visit I ordered the sultani kabob, which is a combination of barg and kofta kabob. The serving size was generous, but unfortunately the kofta kabob was not as tasty as I've experienced before. Vegan options are extremely limited. Service is minimal. Plenty of parking on the premises. TLDR; good food, not much in terms of ambiance or service read more

I could eat at different locations of Bamiyan Kabob and know that I will be getting exactly what I expect. :) Delicious ness! I almost always get the chicken kabob with rice because the chicken has always been moist (literally never had a dry chicken yet.. can't say the same for beef or lamb though sadly). The rice is so delicious and I really enjoy the salad and the slightly hot tomato salsa that comes with each dish. I could pour that salsa on everything!!! The bread they serve (the roti/naan) is always warm and fresh and they are extremely generous with their portions which feeds the guys perfectly!!!! This is a solid choice if you're looking for food done right! read more

I would give this Afghan place a 4.5 stars on an overall bases but they lost the half star because have stopped providing the white sauce. First impression when getting in... bigger place with plenty seating arrangements and much better than Dixie location. Take a menu and once decided you will have to order and pay for it at the till and wait for the food. Food wise, I have tried multiple of their kabab dishes. You can select dishes to have both kabab chicken and beef. The kababs were well cooked, tender and tasty. They did give us the red chili sauce but they weren't serving the white sauce as prices have gone up so they wont be serving that. Portion sizing of the meals are good. Overall, The service fast, there was enough seating and plenty of Parking. For my Muslim bro and sis - They serve Halal meat. read more

This is the second time I have ate here, the first time was to go and I had a wrap this time I wanted to try their kabobs and I'm so glad I did they were excellent the rice and the bread is amazing, this is a perfect meal it has everything you need. read more

The food tastes great and they have a lot of variety. Pro tip- always carry cash or debit card for purchase they don't take credit and I wasted time. Food- the chicken kabob I tried was great and some other dishes too. Try it for yourself read more

The absolute GOAT for kebabs in this area. Tandoori chicken and the lamb dishes are especially great

Your order like you would at any other Mediterranean or Middle Eastern restaurant and you get this ridiculously generous portion of food. I ordered the Sultani Kabob and let me tell you I've never enjoyed meat more in my life than in this moment because of the flavours going on in my mouth with the juiciness and tenderness of the meat. It was just explosions going off in my mouth and I wad enjoying every moment of it. The rice was fragrant and delicious and extremely generous I couldn't even finish the bread that it came wih and LET ME TELL YOU THE BREAD IS CRISPY AND SOFT AND CHEWY ON THE INSIDE. The salad was refreshing and the spicy red sauce that came with it (similar to a chutney but im 100% sure that's not what it is or called) was the cherry on top. I'm crazy about my sauces and if a dish has great sauce, this is a must eat. An otherworldly amusement park delivered on a plate. read more

The only complaint you could ever have about this place is they only take cash or debit. It's nearby the airport, international convention center and when in town, I like to take groups here but it's always a challenge for business since I don't have easy access was to cash. The food is worth it. It's reasonably priced. Super delicious. I like everything on the menu. I take people with diverse back grounds and nobody complains. You can't go wrong here. read more

This place is great. Little pricey but big portions and great food! Overall worth the money

Great food that is consistent no matter how many times you visit. Service is excellent too!

I felt so foreign in this place. I had no expectations and was just waiting for the experience. The food looked like greek or meditarian food. Boy was I wrong and so surprisingly happy to find this place. The restaurant looks like a big food court with only one restaurant in it. I orderd the Barg Kabob dinner (yes for lunch!). Right after you order your food they will give you a receipt with a number on it. Go find a seat and wait for your number to be yelled out for pick up - don't forget your naan bread. The main thing I look for in a kabob or any meat dish is how well the meat is cooked. The kabob was cooked to near perfection, very tender and juicy. The sides were nothing to laugh about either. They scream at you for attention and you can't help but pay lots of attention to them. I ate them all. The naan bread was very huge (yes huge) and well toasted. I basically cleaned out my plate and all that was left were my fork and knife. I never had Afganian food but this is the best I've ever tasted. read more

popped by here for lunch today thinking it would be a quick in and out but boy are they busy during lunch time and with good reason. They're food is delicious. Because I was strapped for time I got a veggie wrap which to my surprise was very flavourful! I definitely WILL be back for their lamb dinner plate, I had people walk by me with it and it smelt amazing!!!! my coworker had a mango smoothie and she was raving about how good it was. definitely check it out, if you're going for lunch make sure you factor in time for the wait. read more

Ordered the Tandori chicken and salad dinner a couple of nights ago as a takeout with 6 other work colleagues as we were working late and the portion size was not even appetizer size.....food was tasty otherwise. Will not go back and CERTAINLY DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Wow I am super impressed! I'm staying at an airport hotel and looked up restaurants on Yelp and decided to try something new. This Afgani food is incredible! Chicken was juicy and full of flavor, rice and veggies perfectly complimented the Chicken. I highly recommend the Tandoori Chicken Kabob! People are super nice and welcoming as well! read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Tandoori Chicken Kabob, a MUST - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Generally, I love to eat at this place. My favourite is the barg kebab ("filet mignon" kebab) with the Greek salad. The meat is mild but flavourful and tender ..dusted with sumac so it has a distinct savoury tartness. The Greek salad is filled with green peppers, tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese & black olives..it has a really yummy balsamic dressing that is quite salty..so eat at your own risk, it's better if you ask for it on the side. I must say this place isn't great for take out, once the food gets put into styrofoam trays, cold..it really doesn't taste the same even after you warm it up. They have amazing naans, but recently I noticed they have decreased the size of them. They are very heavy on the salt, so this isn't something I eat often..but sometimes the craving comes along and you gotta do what you gotta do. Service is also terrible, the people always mess up your order no matter how clearly you try and convey something. They're extremely unapologetic too. But oh well, I don't come here for the service. Yes, there's better options for afghani food but this place hits the spot read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Barg kebab with Greek salad - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I'm not sure I can adequately communicate my feelings about Bamiyan Kabob with words, so I'm going to resort to making clichéd noises associated with food enjoyment: omnomnomnom. There was a lot of food. It was spicy, and maybe a tad bit on the greasy side but whatevs. The naan was really good. The curry was really good. The kabobs were dandy. The portions were good. The service was excellent. Everything was above average. If I remember correctly, I couldn't use my credit card though... I don't have one of those fandangled Interac cards so that proved to be a little inconvenient, and my Canadian dinner companion had to jump in. It took a while to get the food though. Other than that... please refer to the "omnomnomnom" bit up there. read more

I was hungry for Afghani food and so I came here due my parents who love this place. I ordered Chicken Tandoori Dinner which usually comes with rice and bread. However, I opted both out for extra salad. I have had their bread before and it is delicious. The highlight for me is their chicken. It is tasted and juicy. I had their mango juice as well which I assume is made from mango syrup and or juice as it doesn't taste like real mango. The price is appropriate to portion size. I would definitely return again, as I already do. The chicken kabob that my brother likes to order is also very tasty. The service was good. None of the front staff were rude. No issues with parking as it is a big plaza with lots of parking space. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Chicken Tandoori Dinner. I got extra salad because I don't want the rice nor bread. - Afghan Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Good quality food for the price huge portions and food always on point. Love the naan. With the sultani dinner.

I got the tandoori kebab wrap spicy and it was fantastic. Just the right amount of spice and the meat was juicy and well seasoned and vegetables were super fresh. The cashier lady was polite and welcoming. I'm typically not out this west much but had the opportunity to come here because of work for lunch. Will definitely be going to the branch in markham more. read more

The diversity found in Toronto is unparalleled to anything I've witnessed in Houston, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Detroit etc. So when my sister n her hubby pumped me up to go to an Afghan restaurant I was skeptical, knowing from past experiences that ethnic restaurants tend to miss the mark in international markets in terms of flavor and authenticity of cooking techniques. Oh how I was pleasantly surprised! From the parking lot I could see that Bamiyan Kabob being located in an East-Indian-prominent shopping complex that it might live up to the hype. Walking in on a Saturday night It was packed to the brim with Brown folk and thier offspring running wild knocking shit down and bumping into you unapologetically. What a scene. I felt like I was back in Pakistan. The menu board seemed fairly unimpressive, all traditional Persian food with no descriptions of the dishes. I trusted my sisters decisions. We got served Soltani platters which have a mound of rice, standard lettuce salad with a yogurt-based ramoulade drizzled over, and a skewer of Barg Kabob (chunks of steak cooked well-done unfortunately) and a Kufta kabob, very similar to a kubideh. Now the barg kabob stole the show, gorgeous pieces of steak seasoned well, cooked nicely and the meat itself was flavorful and cut through like butter. The Kufta kabob again was textural heaven, the meat wasent ground to a paste like most middle eastern restaurants do so u actually bite into something, not just mush. Plenty of seasoning and herbs were incorporated into the meat and it shined through in every bite. I also tried the tandoori chicken kabobs, boneless chunks of chicken marinated in a red tandoori marinade and grilled to perfection. Now when I sliced through these pieces, it was like cutting into butter. Whatever cut of breast they use is good quality stuff. Now the kicker was the flat kabob, lots of red chili flakes and plenty of seasoning and man my mouth was on fire AND I was sweating up a storm lol. Very overpowering spice but seeing how much the crowd was enjoying this specific item made it evident they like the spiciness and could care less about the flavor of the actual meat. The bread however was unimpressive, very commercial tasting. But I was here for the meat so I could care less about the rice and bread. U don't go here for service. It's mainly self-service, and if u need a table wiped down u best wait a while or bring your own Clorox wipes. Place is fairly clean, plenty of seating but they don't make the best use of the space. Certain areas of the restaurant are packed with tables and then u see big gaps in other areas which is annoying to see when your party of 5 is standing with no seats but plenty of empty floor space. read more

Awesome food with super hero sized portions. We ordered the tandoori chicken and beef plates. Both dishes, at 11.95$ each, come with a mammoth helping of rice, fair sized salad, dipping sauce, naan bread the size of a watermelon and the tenderest. Juiciest meat you've had in some time. Each entree could easily feed two. The food is made fresh. You place your order and they call you by number on the receipt to pick up. There's ample seating and the space is clean and bright. Same can be said about the restrooms. We ordered mango smoothie which was tasty and refreshing. Staff are very friendly. I highly recommend the place but make sure to come hungry! read more

We tried the chicken kabob dinner, TANDORI kabob chicken dinner and sultani kabob ( kofta and filet Mignon). Meats are juicy and flavorful, rice is nice and on this occasion received very little salad. Guess they were running out at 8pm even though they close at 11pm. Cashier at front counter was very friendly and helpful. Interior is basic, clean and feels like a fast food set up. read more

If you're looking for a healthy and fresh meal, this is the place to go. The portions are huge but a friend and I always share the dinner plate. We get the chicken breast dinner which comes with rice, salad, bread, tangy sauce and we add another skewer of chicken (usually tandoori chicken). The total comes up-to around $20 but leaves us satisfied and full. If you're doing take out or even dine in always call ahead and place the the order, since they make it right when you order, you'll have to wait especially during lunch hours. Also the last time I went they started to accept debit cards but not sure about visa. The place is huge and clean if you want to go as a group, also friendly service. read more

The food was fantastic. It was crazy busy when we went though, and the wait was long, and tables weren't cleared or cleaned after guests left. Though the food was cooked fresh- we waited almost 45 minutes for our food, and we were so glad that the portion sizes were huge! I know they have other locations, so I'll likely go to those rather than this one again. read more
