Had enough recommendations to try this place out from my Desi Muslim friends so I had to get here to find out what the fuss was about. They all mentioned to me that this place was like Bamiyan Kabob so I had to be the judge on that. Could it taste as good? Let's see.
We arrived Saturday afternoon at around 4 PM. The restaurant is located in this dingy plaza on the corner. We entered and it had a nice setting. It was not busy at all. They do not take credit cards, only debit or cash.
I ordered what I usually order from Bamiyan and was the Half Chicken Dinner with Rice, my absolute favourite. It was also the same price as Bamiyan as well.
It came out within 10 minutes and I picked it up from the front. Coming back to our seat, I was totally excited. Looked amazingly delicious, just like Bamiyan's. And it was.
There was something about it that tasted different though and for once, I can't really describe it. It had something like more of an oily taste to the chicken. I don't know, I just was really impressed by how it was made. The dish I felt was more tasty, spicy and juicy. Bamiyan's was a little more dry and blander although their salad and salsa was a bit more grander (ha! Another rhyme!).
At any rate, I gobbled it up and still had left-overs to take home. I will most definitely return here and maybe even the Mississauga location which is close by to my parents' house if I ever feel the craving for some commercial Afghani food.
