| - While sitting in the plaza parking lot, trying to decide where to eat, I spotted the Naan & Kabob sign.
(Their Scarborough location was featured on an episode of "Restaurant Takeover". However, the last time I was actually in the area, I was stuffed from eating at another nearby restaurant. It's strange though 'cause I always have room for Patisserie Royale...which is their neighbour! Ha ha.)
Recognising one of the owners who was featured on the show, I asked when they opened. He said 2 weeks ago. The location seems to be fitting are there are quite a few kabob places in 'ssauga now, including: Watan, Bamiyan, Pamier, Afghan Kebob, and the list goes on.
No menu is posted. Instead, they have takeout menus to order off of. After I ordered and was given my buzzer, I asked owner when you pay, he said, "Whenever you want". So they're either relaxed people OR they're still trying to figure things out.
I ordered their Tandori Breast Kabob w/ salad - $8.99 and WOW. Taste was fresher and spicier than my usual place, Watan. There is also attention to plating, as per what they were taught via the Food Network show. Portions are a tad smaller than Watan. Order came with a naan which was fluffy, best when eaten warm.
My friend had the Mantu (dumplings) - $6.99 and they were quite good too!
I also tried their "Tealicious" blend of tea which was very nice. I tasted vanilla, cardamom, and some citrus peels. It was a relaxing blend for all you tea lovers!
Atmosphere: They definitely carried over most design aspects from their Scarborough location. And since they just opened, it as nice 'n quiet. Not as bustlin' as Watan, up the street, so that was a nice change!
