One of my regular go-to places in the area. I have been frequenting this restaurant, mainly for take away, for the last three years and will likely do so as long as I live in the area. I have not tried a wide variety of dishes, but the Tandoori Kebab Dinner and Sultana Kebab Dinner are two must haves! They also make a fantastic Biryani, but it it not available all day so try that out if you are looking for a satisfactory, filling lunch. That about sums up this place... Great taste and quality, and at a very good price. read more

I was finally able to satisfy my curiosity after months of walking by this place day in and day out. This is a very unassuming place that gets quite busy in the evenings and lunch time but most of the time you might just walk right by it without evening noticing it. I went with their tandoori chicken combo that came with soup, rice, salad and of course a big piece of naan. The chicken was very tender and it had a very unique snap to it as you bite it. Something that I have never really experienced before with chicken. The meat was lightly flavoured and quite spicy but I was able to manage. The rice was very well made and quite delicious. The soup and salads are nothing to really rave about but they taste fresh. The naan was also unremarkable but it was alright nonetheless. I have to admit it was quite pricey as my lunch came out to be around $15 but understandably so considering the amount of food I got for my money. All in all, a worthy place to drop in for lunch or dinner if you're craving for kababs. Not quite as flavourful as Bamiyan but still fresh and quite yummy. read more

I am a fan ! I love my rice and chicken, and South Asian food, therefore its only natural I will gravitate towards this small joint on Dundas. The specials are often what I opt for because a student's budget is always tight! The specials are usually a stick of chicken or beef served on rice and accompanied by a salad. The rice is a buttery basmati rice coated with light spice, but very flavourful. The salad is usually tomatoes, lettuce and onions with yogurt dressing. The chicken is marinated is different spices and grilled. I posted a picture of the tandoori chicken. The lunch also comes with red salsa type sauce, and beware it is very very spicy and garlicy. I eat very spicy food and I find the sauce hot after two or three dips but it is so delicious that I just keep going. Good sweat after! read more

Kabul Express - Tandoori chicken special - Halal Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Amazing food - people have said it takes too long but I disagree. Everything is made fresh to order and is ready in no more than 15/20 minutes. Recommended dishes: chicken breast dinner, tandoori chicken dinner, tandoori chicken wings and butter chicken!! All very good!! read more

This is more of a Pakistani cuisine than afghani. Yes they serve some afghani dishes but the Pakistani dishes are better. The chicken Karahi was very good. Their serving size was good. Their serve ware was good. Their service and bathrooms were good. Their wings are amazing! Must try them. I have had them now almost every time I have gone The people are courteous and pleasant. This is a nice little place in town. read more

After hearing alot of great recommendations about this place my boyfriend decided to try it out. first walking in a didnt know what to expect. there was quiet a few people in there which is a good sign. slightly unclean. possibly that just finished a small rush so maybe they had not cleaned up yet. we ordered some beef kofta and chaplee beef, and butter chicken. the beef kofta and chaplee was great no complaints. rice and naan was great. the butter chicken on the other hand, not so much. all i could taste was cream. the chicken in the butter chicken was great. it was the sauce that was over powering with cream. i will try this place again. but maybe not the butter chicken. read more

warning: the cooks are not afghan. not authentic afghan food. stay away!!! They serve Indian food LOOL??? They are clearly using the "Afghan" name to sell their food. Save your money and go to an actual Afghan restaurant. read more

Best nihari in downtown Toronto. The wings are great too. Food is fresh. Love this place.

Food made to order, generous portions, friendly staff. A great place to go if you're looking for some nice comfort food, that has a homemade feel. The service isn't fast food quick, but you won't be waiting more than 15 min for foood read more

I was looking for a place to eat around work that tasted authentic and had good sauces to compliment the taste of the food. I found all of this at Kabul Express and I go there for lunch every day I am at work. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Came for lunch around 1:30pm hoping to beat the crowd. People were on their way out but there were dirty trays and left over food everywhere. After brining up other people's tray after ordering, noticed people were getting their food after me and those who got food before me. Waiting for 45 mins in a filthy restaurant is definitely a good reason NOT to come back. Thank goodness there's a Burrito Boy's just up the street! read more

Came here last week, the place was quite packed. we ordered the tandoori chicken platter and the sultani kebob platter. Both came with rice, salad, naan and this lentil soup. Both were flavourful and tender...very good. I love the little red sauce they give you on the side (sooo good). Prices were good too. only con was that there weren't enough tables to sit. They should think about getting more tables for 2's rather than 4's because a lot people were either in pairs or couples and they were sitting at big tables for 4, so when other people came in they either had to share tables kinda awkwardly or wait until someone was finished. read more

So so food. Wait times are more than 30mins if you go during the lunch time and to make it even worse they often mess up your order and you wait like 45mins to get your food. It happened to us twice. If you work around there and want to eat in a reasonable time don't bother. read more

Great quantity of quality food for a liw price. Semi resturant style with semi servers. However it did take more than a while for food to arrive on my table read more

Great kebab sandwich place. Sandwiches are on thick naan-like bread, freshly baked and delicious. I think the sauce involves yogurt and the meat is kind of spicy. Recommend: - Kafta kebab sandwich - Chicken Tikka sandwich I haven't really tried their dishes but I feel like the sandwiches are where it's at. Expect to wait 5-10 minutes for your food but it's definitely worth it. Just don't go if you're in a big hurry. read more

Really terrible. Placed an order via Skip the Dishes. Never arrived! After 2 hours I called and they did not even apologize. Worst service ever. Do NOT order from them, that is a scam. read more

Kabul Express is a fast food restaurant serving Afghan and middle eastern inspired cuisine. I go many times per week and tend to gravitate towards the special of the day - seasoned rice, salad, and a meat item of some description (usually a kabob). Service isn't McDonald's fast, but I appreciate that food is cooked to order so it is always fresh. There is seating available but it isn't exactly the best ambiance. I wish the portion size was a little bit bigger, but that's about my only criticism. Bottom line is that you can get a good tasting meal for 5 or 6 bucks in 5 or 6 minutes. read more

Not a dry meat morsel in sight, everything here is juicy and well seasoned. My husband is obsessed with the tandoori fish, it's a huge, fresh, portion for a great price. I'm not in love with the naan here but it's still reliably well done and the rice is fragrant and delicious. I really encourage people to go support this spot, they've been doing good stuff consistently for maybe a decade. read more

To be honest, this place is somewhat dirty, and I do not like how they cook meat. Pamier Kabob on Spadina beats this place hands down. Salad here is really sad and saggy. The only good touch is the soup. Very few places serve it nowadays. If you are a starving student this place is for you. read more

I find lamb to normally to be gamy, however this lanb is awesome! This place is definitely authentic as there are 8 other tables here and I am the only non Afghan. A friend brought me here who was raving about the lamb, so I'm back for more lamb and going to try some tandoori fish and... read more

To be honest, I have never been a fan of Afghani or Indian food. I do not like curry anything and do not eat meat therefore, I usually stay away from that kind of food. My boyfriend took me to that place once for quick takeout and I was very scared until I actually tasted the food. I had the fish tandoori and it is amazing. I think I went back about 10 times since I first tried it a month and a half ago. The fish is amazingly seasoned and juicy. It is baked rather than fried which makes it healthier as well. The fish portion is huge as well. Great naan bread to accompany it, especially the garlic naan. read more

My husband and I love this place. Best Naan in the city! We love the Tandoori Chicken and the Kofta. One meal can feed two people or make one person reeally happy. read more

authentic great food, not that cheap (good meat but portions were not that generous at all), nice staff. main problem is the waiting time. so many people are in the kitchen (cooks or helpers) but it takes so long to get the food ready. grilling can take time, but not that much! read more

When I see butter chicken and kahari options, I wondered if this is really an Afghan place. But I'm not complaining. The food was good. They may not have a waziri option, and their naan bread is shaped differently from other Afghan places, but good food is good food. I had the Sultani kebob combo. Comes with rice, salad, kebobs, sauce, soup, and a massive piece of naan bread. Massive portions, and tastes good. Excellent value. All this food for just $12.49?!? Wow. I'm coming back. I eat a lot and I struggled to finish. The kebobs were grilled right, especially the tenderloin skewer. Meat was tender and juicy. Not overcooked. The spices seemed a little different from other Afghan places but it was delicious. The kofta was...like kofta. Which is good. The soup is an unusual touch for an afghan place but very welcomed. The bread was fresh. You may notice you get less pieces of meat per skewer, but this is compensated by very large pieces. I will definitely be back. It's a reasonable walk from Eaton Centre. read more

Selective service. You can only get good service by how you look or by your background. Doesn't matter when you ordered you dish, you will be waiting a long time for your food while others after you get theirs. I assumed it's just a one time occurrence but more than once explains it all! There should be a CHRONOLOGICAL sequence to making orders not by biased selection! This 2018 in Canada! read more

One of the best spots in Toronto for delicious Afghani / Pakistani food! Kebabs, Nihari, Kahari, Haleem are all great. Naans are baked fresh. They just renovated and expanded as well, so the space is much nicer and bigger now. read more

If i could rate this place as a -star,very dishonest place and poorly disorganized! Waited for 28 mins for a chicken tandori kebab special which should include naan and lentil soup as it shows on the monitor but when I got it..only chicken,rice,salad,plus 2 sauces BUT no naan or Lentil soup. My colleague order the same "Special" but only got 1 sauce and when he asked for the yogurt sauce , he was told that only 1 sauce is given. He asked about the naan and lentil soup, the worker commented that it's not part of the "Special"...so what is included in the "Special"??? Do not go there at any cost!!! read more

Ordered a bunch of food from here for take out. Not sure why the other reviews are saying it is so good. Malai tikka kabobs were really chewy and had little flavor. Chapli Kabobs were very gamy tasting. Ras Malai tasted old. Service was friendly, but the food just wasn't good. read more

Have tried their chaplee kababs, chicken biryani and boneless chicken. Decent place. Food is great. Come here often in lunch time. Chaplee kabab platter comes with daal soup, naan rice and salad. Naan and kababs are cooked fresh so hits the spot everytime. read more

They have amazing butter chicken and rice. Staff is very friendly and food quality is always amazing!! Absolutely love

Tasty, clean, and Halal resturant. Good food. Little costly for such a small, not well arranged place.

We love this place. It is always our go-to comfort food spot. The lamb shanks and tandoori chicken are my go-to items. The portions are generous. My star rating does not reflect service or ambience. Simply based on the food. Luckily, several months ago, they expanded the restaurant so there's more seating space now. read more

I could write a 10 page essay about how terrible this place is in the time I have to wait for a simple dish. Please I'm hungry.

The quality has gone down, and the prices gone up. What is listed as 7$ is actually 13.50, what is listed as 9$ is 14$. There are no more wraps, and the flavors have changed. I'm disappointed because this was the best, and it is no longer. It must be under different management, with different tastes, prices and menu. It's unfortunate because this used to be amazing! Now I do not recommend it, you're just as good to go anywhere else read more

Super authentic! Even the rice is great, I destroyed it, even though I usually skip rice. Beef and chicken were great and juicy. Was quality meat. Place is clean and spotless. read more

Food was ok. You guys should have everything on one menu. Not just kabobs on the menu and the nahari on the board.

Pretty good food here and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. They make everything fresh to order so if you're in a hurry this is not the place for u. I ordered the butter chicken combo which comes with rice, salad, butter chicken and naan. I've seen the rice portions and they are huge so I asked for one extra naan instead of rice and it was no problem. I think I paid 12.70$ for the combo with a coke and I had atleast half remaining for leftovers. read more

Kabul Express - Butter chicken combo. Comes with a salad, rice and naan. I got an extra naan as substitute for rice. Huge portions !!!!!! - Halal Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love the menu they offer. Their portions are quite big and they are priced reasonably well. The spices they add are excellent and is a great compliment with the rice and salad. Their kebabs are delicious and the hot sauce is fantastic. read more

the food is excellent , next time i will be in Toronto for sure i'm going there. the place is verry clean read more

Prices are unreasonable and portions are very small. Just walk down to King Place, better tasting food with reasonable prices.
