I ordered through Uber. Food was delivered by 6:14pm today ,2 January,2025.The food was below the usual standard. I was very disappointed in the quality of food. 1)Bread was hard as rock. It was not soft. 2)Kofta kabob was hard and dry.I could not break it, as it was too hard. 3)Bolanee was dry and tasteless 4) Mantoo was extremely spicy. I do not remember the mantoo being so spicy.The meat stuffing inside the mantoo was hard as well. Has the chef/cook changed.? My grandchildren were not happy with their meal either. I have ordered food many a time and have had meals in your restaurant very often. But today the food was quite bad!!!!!

Got the chicken and beef plate. Meat was very tender, portions are huge! And they gave a side of their flat bread very warm and fresh. Good quality afghan food for a decent price. I was so full after and satisfied.

Lamb was slightly dry. Mound of rice with meat is very lacking a side salad. it should be included like all the other dishes.

One of the food staples in the Toronto region and has been for years a must go to everytime I'm in the area. I always like to go to the first location they opened on overlea Blvd. It has been 4 years since I had Bamiyan kabob and here is my review based on my last visit on August 1st. For a party of 4, we ordered 2 sultani kabob, 1 tandoori Chicken and chicken kabob plates. The bread was OK and it did not feel fresh as I remember it. The food was delicious and the rice was cooked to perfection. The only thing that I did not like was the meat tenderloin pieces that comes with the sultai plate, the pieces were not tender and chew. Another thing that I noticed was that the tables were not cleaned right away after the customers had left and I had to stare at couple of dirty tables while eating. This place used to be immaculate before. Will try again in few months and report back with a follow up.

Tried Bamiyan Kabob, an Afghani restaurant, today. Ordered the Kofta and Barg Kabob. Both were quite delicious, well cooked; however, the Barg (fillet mignon) was not as tender as it should be. They’ve prepared the food quickly and staff were nice & friendly. Need to mention they bake Afghani bread in the house; so their complementary bread is so tasty and fresh.

Ordered the tikka kabob dinner and the tikka wrap. The dinner was good, loved the rice, but the meat was a little tough. I would not recommend the wrap at all, it was bland and not worth $10.

Unfortunately, my visit was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. The service was slow and uninterested, but the food was great however I was extremely disappointed with the staff as he said to my husband that I am his friend as she says that I am wearing my wedding ring. The atmosphere was also not as pleasant. In either case: I believe that addressing these issues could greatly improve the overall experience for future customers. I recommend the food but not the staff was rude luck of knowledge to judge people right the way either husband or wife nor boyfriend or girlfriend. This is only the reason I gave 2starts .

The meat was perfect, and the half chicken kabab was soo nice we loved the seasoning, it was perfectly seasoned. The pulav was great as well, you can eat as it is without any sides. Their mango smoothie was good but not great, maybe because I’m not a smoothie person so try it out if u are a smoothie person!! It’s made out of fresh mangoes. Must try- pulav and half chicken kabob
