| - Let me preface by saying that I had never had authentic Afghani cuisine, but I had high hopes for Bamiyan Kabob. I figured it would be similar to shwarma and such.
I had been planning to go to Naan Kabob over in Scarborough, but since Bamiyan was in Markham, I figured I'd check it out first.
The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and there is enough parking, as it is part of a plaza. The only issue here is getting TO and around the parking lot, as Markham/14th is a busy intersection, densely packed and filled with cars (and the worst drivers outside of Brampton!!).
i was lucky to get there when I did, because not long after I ordered my food, the line-up began to swell!! Since I didn't want to ruin my low-carb diet, I ordered the regular Kofta Kabob ($6.99), which DID include a fresh Afghani naan that i ended up taking home to give to someone else. The meat was good and definitely tasty!! It's not "fine dining" by any stretch, but it's a good, filling, inexpensive meal.
The look of the place suggests that it is a "fast food" type of place, but you do have to wait a little bit for your food, which they call out to you via a number system. The staff is generally pleasant and ready to make sure you have everything you need.
I think I still prefer shwarma and associated dishes; however, that is by no means a knock on Afghani food!!
I am definitely coming back here again to try the other menu items!!
