I love kabobs since my introduction to them a few years ago in Mississauga. I have never been to Bamiyan before in any of their locations so we decided to go last Saturday around 5pm.
This Richmond Hill location is in a busy plaza surrounded by the likes of Touro Churrascaria, Jack Astor's and Scaddabush. Parking is plentiful as it can be shared amongst the businesses.
From the outside and inside, this restaurant is huge. Plenty of booths and tables available however, you can tell that some care is needed for the upholstery. They are either worn or ripped in some places.
The restaurant works on a cafeteria style that you order your food first and pay. Get a table and your order will be called out. The number is in the receipt. Once you are done, you can leave your tray and dishes on top of the garbage cans or on the tables. A worker goes around collecting the trays and dishes while cleaning the tables.
The place gets very busy as the dinner rush came right after us. Also be willing to spend a minimum of at least 15 minutes for your food to be ready as your meats are cooked to order. This is a very good thing.
We decided to order the Chicken Tandoori dinner and the Half of Chicken dinner. Each dinner comes with rice and iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes. Also you get Naan. They don't look like your typical Naan but I found it to be the best part of the meal. Portions are large. I loved the meats. They were seasoned very well and were flavourful. The sides however were fillers. Rice was bland and the lettuce unremarkable.
This is a solid place but cannot beat Watan in Mississauga.
