Nice setting. Nice interior décor. Friendly staff. We had the boulanee appetizer. A hefty portion was served. I found the kabobs to be a bit dry and the taste was not outstanding compared to competitors. I won’t be returning. Sorry guys!

Nice ambiance but the food is strictly average. The kebabs and lamb shank were bland and tasteless and tasted more like boiled meat with some spices on top. It’s kind of self serve and we found the girls taking the order to be quite rude. Won’t be going back there again as they offer nothing special and much better kebabs can be had in Durham region

The décor and lighting were nice for a place where you have to order and pick up your food from the counter. With dishes like Tandoori Chicken Tikka and Chicken Karahi on the menu, I expected bold flavours but found the food rather bland. What I received was different from what was described on the menu(white meat vs. thigh). The ratio of main ingredient to sides was definitely in favour of the sides. Presentation was lacking, with mismatched plates. My dining companion received his soup in a square bowl placed in a round bowl. Huh??? He did, however, say that it tasted good. This critique may sound like nitpicking but every little shortcoming added up to a less than ideal experience.

Good food, quiet. No mango shake and slow service. They had the platter for four and mantoo. Could smell someone in the back smoking a cigarette.

I’m happy to see a new kebab shop in Pickering! My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and have tried the barg, chicken breast, shish and tandoori kebabs. The meat was tender and flavourful but of the four, the tandoori and shish kebabs are definitely the winners for me. The redesign of this space is inviting and comfortable to be in. The service is quick and friendly making this restaurant a great place to enjoy a meal. I look forward to working my way through their menu and supporting this new restaurant in our community. I wish them much success!

This place is a wonderful addition to the area. It is clean, with friendly staff and with great tasting food. My recommendations are: mantoo — a tasty steam dumpling filled with ground beef and drizzled with light fresh yogurt; bolanee — a roti filled with tasty potato; mains — tandoori chicken kebab, or shish kebab. I find the tandoori chicken has great flavour and so moist. They offer beef korma — although it’s not on the menu and the chicken breast kebab will not disappoint either. The naan is typical Afghani naan and is a great side if you pick the korma. Very nice host who offers suggestions for the undecided. I plan on trying all dishes! For mains– definitely tandoori chicken kebab :)

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food. The wait time was minimum and the staff was very friendly. The inside looks very nice and it is well decorated. The quantity of food is impressive and the kebabs are exquisite. Highly recommend you folks to try it out!
