Bamiyan Kabob to me is the quintessential YorkU experience. I usually come after training for a nice balanced meal with friends. I really love the chicken breast kabob and the kofta kabob platters. The platter comes with the salad, (massive amount of) brown basmati rice, afghan naan, your choice of meat and the two sauces. The portion is insane and good for sharing if you're not that hungry. Friendly services. Also, although there's no fancy decor, the restaurant is clean and pleasant.

We usually get Afghan take out here. It's a quick and easy meal. They have the best naan, the rice and kabob is also really good. The dine in setting isn't that nice, more of a take out place. You order at the counter and then grab a table. They don't take reservations. We were so thirsty after our meal though. This used to be our go to place, but we have found a better Afghan place now (Naan & Kabob).

This middle eastern restaurant definitely gives you YOUR money's worth. I eat a lot, but when you're having fun talking with a group of people you'll find you've eaten only 3/4 and you're already full. Plenty of seats, the decor is nice but not noteworthy, and service is okay and nothing special. I recommend eating here if you just wanna try something different. Prices are all standard fare.

Delicious surprises await you if you just have the patience. We were looking around for a quick take out joint; I don't know what the heck I was thinking of when I picked a kabob place! Nice bright and clean place with counters made with marble and archways decorated with stone. Ordered a Tikka wrap and Salmon special to go. Waiting, waiting, waiting....then one of the staff asks for my number to follow up on my order. She was mortified when she realized she had given my order to another customer. Yeah, I could have blew up at her and made an ugly scene but that's just not my style. Everyone apologized profusely, gave me a freebie mango shake to appease me (WOOHOO) and started remaking my order. While waiting hubby comes in (he was waiting in the car) and says we have to go. I tell them I want my money back but they assure me it's only 3 minutes left AND for my troubles they'll give me a complimentary side of rice and Firnee (Creamy homemade pudding, spiced with crushed cardamon seeds and topped with shredded pistachios). The highlight of our meal was the Firnee; it had a smooth, creamy consistency similar to panna cotta with a delectable cardamon flavor to it. If it wasn't for their mistake I would have missed the chance to try this Afghan delicacy. Would also recommend their reasonably priced tasty wraps (starts at $4.99) and their thick and fruity mango shake.

Chaplee kabob dinner

Dropped by Bamiyan Kabob today for the lunch rush. Upset I've only now just tried their food when I have been eating less delicious things in the area for the last 2 years. The menu is quite varied, yet limited. Contradictory, I know. I ordered the chaplee kabob dinner. Massive beef patties, heavily spiced and delicious on top of lots of rice and salad. Plus the naan! For the price, the amount of food you receive is just crazy. As others have said, the wait is long. Barring on the extreme. People were clearly getting annoyed with the length of wait. And yeah, I would have preferred to not be standing there for 15 minutes, but I've waited longer for less delicious food. However, the food was piping hot and fresh, even after arriving back at my office. I scarfed it down and now I am sitting, bloated and sleepy at my desk. Regretting/loving my decision about lunch today

I came across this restaurant because of it's good reviews. I only ever go here depending if I'm in the mood for Afghanistan food and each time I go I usually enjoy their food. The restaurant is good amount of size to have a family dinner because they have large size table. The restaurant is clean and they always have worker cleaning out the table. This restaurant is quite busy during the weekday afternoon and dinner time. Because it's close to the University campus and people working in the area therefore it get busy during lunch hours. For those who hasn't been here before, you just basically order your food at front counter and they give you a number regardless if your taking out or eating in. They make the food right on spot therefore you alway get the food hot and fresh. Cons: if it's get busy then it take a while to get your food. Probably it can be as long as 10-15 minutes.

I like Bamiyan Kabob and this location is good. They offer the bare necessities to run a kabab joint. Also, the service is good. However, I wish they offered more to their menu. I prefer the Markham location because it has more drinks and desserts - most likely because it's busier. But it wouldn't hurt to have their frozen ice cream which is absolutely yummers. Needless to say, the kabobs here are great. The meat is tender and juicy. Also, any place that offers a bed of rice and salad is a winner in my book. A bonus - the portion sizes are huge! And on top of that you get toasty warm, Afghan bread (a must-try!).

Tandoori chicken dinner

My friend recommended this joint to me and boy, they did not disappoint!! The facility is clean the wait was about 15 minutes but it was definitely worth it. The chicken was so tender and well seasoned, I would recommend putting their signature garlic sauce on the rice really give it a good boost. Over all 5/5 hands down and I will lost definitely be returning!

Clean restaurant. Chicken Breast Kabob wrap reasonably priced at 5.29 Delivers a franchise experience - granite counters an brown orange colored decor throughout. taste is consistent to 2 other locations I've been to (brampton and markham) The chicken kabob was very tender. Parking is a pain but I lucked out and got the last remaining space. This is likely due to it being in a plaza across from York University plus this plaza has so many food establishments contained within it. Wait time was reasonable under 8 mins. Only place where I see many people order dinner portions for lunch or takeout. some leave with bags with several take out containers. Spicy is truly spicy so expect it :) Great to see them expanding here. Used to frequent the Markham location. This is there latest location opened to my reviews writing.

Two Kafta plates

This is the location across from York university and this would be my second time visiting this location, simply because it's super far from downtown. Anyways, for about $13 I was super satisfied with my meal. I got my kabab (no rice; salad only), 2 naans (I had to take one home with me) and a pop drink. The food came out within 15 mins and our group was able to dig in and enjoy the meal on a Tuesday evening. The meat was tender and seasoned well and a treat for the palette. One thing I enjoy about Bamiyan is their commitment to quality regardless of location. Will return.

Tandoori chicken kabob dinner

I used to go to the airport road location for years as it was always consistent and super tasty, but for the past 1.5 years I started going to this Keele location and I now find its been just as good! My husband and I always get the tandoori chicken dinner that comes with super tasty tandoor chicken breast pieces, a decent amount of salad, a generous portion of seasoned long grain (or basmati?) rice and a freshly made bread-like naan. Exquisite! We've also ventured and started trying a boulganee (seasoned potatoes stuffed roti or naan)- there is something so comforting and delicious about this app/dish. 8-10 hand sized triangular pieces and a side of a cold yogurt sauce for you to dip in! Yum! The portion sizes of everything is generous, 1 or 2 person can eat from each order and if your is made by a tall man named John- then your set! This is a weekly dinner spot

We came here after seeing it recommended on social media, especially for their lamb shank -- so of course, that's what we ordered. The portion was huge, so we shared one lamb shank between the two of us. The meat was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious -- we ate every last bite. The serving was so big that we were completely stuffed by the end. We're definitely planning to come back here, but next time we'll be prepared to share dishes because the portions are just that generous. I'd highly recommend this place if you want to try some tasty and spicy food in Toronto.

I had the Lamb Chops Gold Combo and the portions were enormous and so delicious. Four succulent pieces of grilled lamb chops. My friend is a vegetarian so he had the Paneer Tikki Gold Combo. Four chunks of cheese with grilled vegetables. All Gold Combos come with rice, salad, lentil soup and fresh baked naan from the tandoor. Everything was so colourful and delicious. The naan was so huge! We came around 1pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy. Very spacious and lots of tables to choose from. The customer service at the counter was excellent and so appreciated. Big thanks to Wasim who always gave us a happy smile with our meals! I'm eager to return and introduce Kabul Express to more of my friends. Highly recommend!

The staff was courteous as I placed a takeout order for Paneer Wrap and Fries. They forgot to put in fries! But the paneer wrap was good.

Wow finally we now have an authentic and delicious Afghan restaurant in the heart of Toronto's…read moreentertainment district! We normally go to East York just to get our Afghani food cravings, but not anymore. We decided to try their Double Kabob Platters - Sultan & Wazir which includes aromatic brown Basmati rice, traditional Afghan salad, freshly baked Naan, 2 skewers of meat and sauces. The Beef Tikka & Classic Chicken skewers are soft and tender on the inside and beautifully charred on the outside. The Shish Kofta Kabob is jam-packed with flavours from the seasoning/spices and seared to perfection. And to satisfy your sweet tooth, the Mango Smoothie is creamy and delicious and meant to be enjoyed alongside any Afghani meal. Service was also exemplary with Swati the order taker/cashier having a pleasant attitude and providing great customer service by being helpful and knowledgeable. Great food, generous portion, and exceptional service are what you get when you dine at The Kabob Guys. We will surely be back here ... again and again.
