| - As if it wasn't difficult to just find ANY place to eat near York University, one can only wonder the struggles to find a good place to eat. With my stomach rumbling, I happened to walk upon Bamiyan in a strip mall.
The owner boasts the place as the "Best Afghan Halal Cuisine in the City." Surely its not that difficult to make that claim when you're probably the only one of its kind in Toronto, but that doesn't stop Bamiyan from living up to its full potential!
The fast food like tables may give it a Burger King feel, but the herbs and spices will instantly transport you to the Middle East! You really don't need to be a food expert to understand the cuisine...meat, flame, spices, and bread! Bamiyan truly does it right! All the exotic flavors make such wondrous dishes!
Everything from the juicy barg kabob to the sweet, tasty Choppan kabob are simple, but an absolute treasure. We ordered family style so got to try almost everything on the menu, and its all sooo good! The wraps definitely get two thumbs up! And the naan, just what you expect...hot, crispy bread that goes nicely with the kabob. Caution: the spices do add a bit of unexpected spicyness to the dish but just adds to the depths of flavor!
Bamiyan definitely exceeded all expectations and a diamond in the rough!
CASH ONLY!
