    Salad
    D'Arcy L.

    Wow.... Totally blown away by this place. In the city of Laval it's "chain restaurant" central according to my Yelp amigo Jason. Some of you out there may love the predictability of Boston Pizza, the Keg, Jack Astors or other mal ordinare places as such. I prefer to avoid chain restaurants where possible. There is a selection of some small business restos but on the whole I'd tend to agree that the selection in Laval has room for improvement. Please don't build more chains and if I was a kingpin mayor of Laval I'd encourage small business restaurants with tax incentives. Think "field of Dreams" if you build it they will come. This place opened up this summer in the plaza across from Adonis. Damm...it is the real deal for Afghan food. I've eaten at Kyper Pass downtown and I'd declare this place better. Afghan food for those who have not tried it is somewhat similar to flavours of Indian but different. Also taking similarities to Lebanese or even Moroccan. For those who like to check out something different ethnically it's a refreshing change. Many meals are met and rice based. On my visit I had selected the Chicken tandoori with rice that came with a salad as a starter plus a nice flatbread. The salad was fresh and had nice crispy lettuce with a mild creamy dressing. The flat bread (complimentary) was fluffy and light. Now to my tandoori chicken it was moist a bit oily but oivee mes Amis.....this was outstanding in flavour. With a heaping portion of rice I decided to not finish it. Or my boss would have found me sleeping on my desk in the afternoon. Dammmm..... Thinking about this food makes my mouth water like a Pavlovian dog. To wash it down I had selected a mint yoghurt drink which was different but fresh and tasty none the less. Two things. - 1) I hope their portion size doesn't shrink over time as they get more popular 2) I hope this place does not get too crazy popular as we enjoy it a lot! Fantastic food. If middle eastern is in your wheelhouse you will like Afghan food. Restaurant was clean and service was very cordial. Thank you as Apu on TV from the Simpsons said "come again" definitely I will .

    Finally, Laval has been graced with authentic Afghan cuisine! Been looking at this place for some time since it opened and I'm very happy to have experienced what they can bring. I went with the Sultan Kebab and Mint Cucumber Yogurt. Pros : - My Sultan Kebab was out of this world good. The filet Mignon was perfect... just perfect. Succulent and moist beyond comparison! The minced meat had a nice flavor of spices and I enjoyed it a lot. The rice was so good! Huge plate, great portion! - Fresh flat bread was a very nice touch. - Mint cucumber yogurt drink was delicious and truly complimented my main meal! - Service was friendly and efficient, this place is ideal to lunch at. No lost time with quality food! - Price tag was very fair. Cons - There isn't any! In conclusion, a total 5 star experience and somewhere I'll come visit on a regular basis! Hidden gem... in Laval!

    So I have had Riaz kabab food 3 times already. (Everytime was take-out). It was very good. Let's start with the appetizers, there yogurt is very good, they had a eggplant dish which is a must try. It was truly tasty, it had tomato sauce and a yogurt sauce and was served with homemade afghani bread. No joking you gotta try it. The house salad is good too, nothing really special but a decent house salad with a refreshing sauce. They also have a yogurt drink called doogh, which is basically like Lebanese Laban or Aryan but with mint and cucumber. For those who like this type of drink. They will enjoy this drink a lot. So let's get to the real stuff. Their kababs. So a have a variety of kababs, from chicken either shish kabab which is pieces of chicken or thigh chicken. In my opinion the thigh chicken is much more juicier and tastier. As for meat they have koobideh which is ground meet with mixed with onions and afghani spices. (Very good) Then they have pieces of filet mignon good too but sometimes it is dry. On their me u they also have "bard" which is flattened filet mignon but every time we have ordered it they said they ran out. Honestly I don't think they have any at all, or maybe just on special occasions. I have been 3 times and my brother 2 times and every time they Have said they ran out. Overall the restaurant is nice. Good for families. But if you you want a romantic place maybe skip this one for now.

    Best kebabs I have had in a long time. The chicken and kebabs were very juicy. The rice was also full of flavor. I would recommend getting the "wazery kebab". You get a mix of both worlds with the chicken and beef. Service was very good as our waiter was attentive and kind. You can order takeout or sit and enjoy the meal in the spaceous resto.

    Was looking forward to trying this restaurant that only opened 2 weeks ago as it is a cuisine that Laval didn't yet have. The service was great, tried a bunch of dishes as we were several people including the qabuli palao, mantoo, shami kabab, sultani kabab, murgh palao, and shish kabab. The prices were very reasonable and included a salad to start with. My personal favorites were the mantoo and the murgh palao, the mantoo had a bit of a spicy kick to it that was incredibly flavorful. The decor hasn't changed much as far as the seating since this used to be a breakfast place. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    This place has amazing food! The chicken shaming kabab is amazing and not dry! The fresh bread is awesome with their green slightly spicy sauce. The Ashak and mantoo are amazing! So far everything I've ordered are amazing in taste and portions are great with even reasonable prices. Definitely a place to try!

    The salad dressing is so refreshing bcz of the coriander. The bread warm & fresh
    Helene C.

    Excellent Afghan cuisine, The staff is jovial with lots of smiles. Plates are pretty full for the price . The meat is a good. The lamb chops a bit chewy. But I will definitely be back, overall experience is worthy

    Food was good but service was really pathetic this time and guy on the counter was very bad and don't know how to deal with customers. Probably I will not visit again and he really disappointed me.

    My very first time trying Afghan food today. This place has their original location on L'Acadie and…read morewhich I've read good reviews about but as usual, laziness sometimes gets the best part of me in life so hello postponement. Fortunately, they just recently opened up their doors here in Laval and right on my daily commute path. I gotta say they did a good job attracting people from the outside of the restaurant with their chic decor and enough lighting to grab your attention. Specially with that big "Halal" neon sign in your face. I dunno, mixing religion with anything else is really not my thing plus stating the obvious like a peacock? I personally don't like that no matter what religion it is. Each to his own, keep your faith in your heart and to yourself please. Does the general public need these things shown off, flaunted and make the rest of us the none halal people feel alienated or welcomed in your establishment? Specially on businesses which their sole purpose is making money! My reaction: shaking my head..... then sticking with the main subject: Whatever, take my money. Where's the food? Back to the main topic. One word: Very good! I was hesitant between the Herath kebab and Mantou. Went with the first one only to test the quality/taste of the beef and chicken since both come on the same plate. Very nice choice. Good marinade, good taste and cotton soft meat all with a reasonable price and ample portion. I am definitely coming back here and trying their other awesome looking dishes. I have a feeling they're as good if not better than what I just had. The place is very clean, simple yet trendy, flavours of the east and west mixed well all over the place and then topped with good background Afghani music that matches the food cooked on charcoal you're consuming. Good job and wish them success at this difficult corner of this street. Lots of other businesses before them had come, tried and failed, many times that I've lost count. I'm bored seeing that kind of unpleasantness. Hope they'll stay here for a long time, prosper and become a permanent fixture. Good luck!

The service and the kindhearted people who work here truly make all the difference. We went a bit earlier this time and we were the only ones dining, with the exception of someone who came in for a pick-up order. The ambiance was therefore very quiet and cozy but I always think this as I love the simple brick decor and surroundings. (At the time we dined, they were still finalizing the kitchen prep and our food still came out quickly!). Everything was so good- the eggplant continues to be our favorite appetizer! This time, I got chickpeas with chicken, rice, salad, and I had a little bit to bring home for leftovers. I could've eatery the entire plate but I honestly just wanted to have some more to enjoy at home later on. My partner had a dish that was a combo of the lamb and beef and the taste I had was very good- I may even order that next time. The chickpea dish was perfect though and it really hits the spot. Overall, another great experience and we never regret coming to enjoy a meal here.

I'm comparing it to Riaz Kebab in Laval and unfortunately the fOod isn't as good as the one in laval... but its second best... it's pretty cool as the lady is there handrolling the dumplings and making the food from scratch! Location: in a strip mall with limited free parking Ambiance: The place is a hole in the wall lol so don't expect anything fancy... Food: rice and dumplings are delicious and the portions are very very generous ! The rice was delicious tender and fresh .. dumplings got like 12 dumpling for half the price of riaz kebab .. lol so im happy and they are wayy better on that aspect.. the samosas are Amazing 5/5 and I really enjoyed the dipping sauce it came with so good! Lots of food for the price you pay! However, my lamb shank dish 3/5 with the raisin rice carrots I was kind of disappointed.. was barely any lamb ..it was in pre cut into pieces of maybe 3-4 kindove sad it was so good but Not much lamb ... I wish it was served on the bone like I'm use to ! The lamb stew was amazing loved it 5/5 The eggplant dish was ok too maybe 3.5/5 The Kebab dish (Chicken & Beef) 1/5 very chewy/ Overcooked not very happy as I wished it was more tender. Service: Exceptional A1 service i think it was the owner serving my food and he and his mom seemed to really care about their customers and made sure to please us the most as they could Overall very cool place with a great customer service and experience definitely recommend this place .. I also recommend them for catering as the price is very good and generous portions hope they can just cook the meat more tender next time I come ahaha cheers ;) will be back for sure

There is a policy that each person must get a meal dish, this doesn't include apps or salads so if you are planning to all share this is not for you. We got the 2 meals which includes soups, dish, and dessert which allowed us to try both soups and desserts. Of the dishes got the Chicken Kebab, Kabuli Palaw (lamb), Mantoo, and Kofta Chalaw (beef). The soup was pretty good coming in a small bowl. The Mashaba reminded of wedding soup and was the one I liked best. Each dish comes with a lot of rice and by a lot i mean a huge plate full. It was a lot of rice for supposedly one person with meat ratio being quite a bit less. My favorite had to be the Beef, the sauce of this was really good I was just eating the sauce and rice itself. The sauce on the Lamb was really good too but there was just a lot of bone. The Chicken was a little on the saltier side but a great dish. The Pasta was not a fan favorite, the vegetable flavor was a little strong and there was a lot of it. The workers were really patient with us even though we were taking a long time to order. For dessert they have us extra so each person could have some a which was so nice of them. We ended with some complimentary tea which washed everything down.

However, having tried many a Lamb Karahi, I was not impressed with the quality of the meat and the taste. The pieces of lamb were large and mainly fat/bones - not what you would expect of a traditional lamb karahi. On the plus side, the Naan bread was perfect and always came fresh and hot so that was great. Prices are reasonable and the location is quite convenient (there is some parking directly in front of the restaurant).

The Palak Paneer and Chicken Seekh Kebab were 100% reheated and tasted like food that had gone bad. The Chicken Karahi was excellent. Tasted fresh, flavourful and authentic. Fish pakoras were good and fresh. Tea was authentic Chai. The server was chirpy and very helpful. She was interactive and her excitement was contagious. Part of the reason this rating is three stars and not two is because of her! The restaurant was clean and comfortable.

    Memories of food can linger on for years and years…read more It was January 1st 2005 and I don't remember exactly where I was (Queens or Bronx and still a bit out of it from the night before), I finally had Afghan food for the 1st time. What I remember the most is the flavorful rice, 3 colors of rice and the delish kebabs. I've been on the lookout for that since then here to no success. Our Afghan selection very limited here. When I passed by the Marché Central area, I saw a new addition to the admittedly crowded restaurant field. I had to try it and it delivered plenty of memories. The kofta kebab was Persian style but lacked the flavor I found from my usual faves like Kebab Sera. The filet mignon was delicious but only 4 pieces. There was a large salad with a creamy dill dressing but the higlight again was the rice. Half a large plate might seem like overkill but every bite was perfect. Large basmati grain with an indecipherable taste. You just have to try it. The plates are about $13 to $15 and I waited about 20 minutes evenduring lunch even though the place was empty. In an area where workers don't have much time or money it might be best to order ahead and get the daily specials for $10 with a drink. I have to mention the decor and scale of the place, it is gigantic compared to the shish taouk places that dot the city so it's worth it to eat in. There seem to be a reserved section where you can eat on the carpets as well as a terrace. And did I mention Glass Bottled Pepsi made with real sugar. I will definitely go back and see if what else to try, I really want to give it my hard to achieve 5 stars.
