| - [LOCATION] - 5/5
Located at Finch Ave & Markham Rd. Just look for the a big, orange sign that says "Kandahar Kabab Afghan Cuisine."
[SERVICE] - 1/5
Disorganized self-serve style service. Customers place orders and pay for food at the cash register. Then, grab your own seat. The cashier will call-out your order number on the PA system when your food is ready. Unfortunately, the system does not work very well on a busy Saturday night. My friends and I had to stand in line, decide what to order, and also stare at people until they finish their meal so we can take their seats! We stood in line for 15 minutes, ordered our food, and waited another 45 minutes for our food. The cashier did not even inform us that the wait-time was going to be that long!
[DÉCOR] - 4/5
This place is huge, but unable to accommodate the high volume of customers on a Saturday night.
[FOOD QUALITY] - 4/5
Quality was pretty good overall. Chicken meat was average, but kofta (ground meat) was pretty high-quality. Salad was fresh, and rice was was infused with aromatic seasonings.
[ORDER]
- Sardari Kabab - $13.00: comes with chicken breast and a kofta kabab: chicken breast meat was a little dry, but paired well with the seasoning and sauces on the side. Kofta kabab was seasoned very well, soft, and juicy. Also came with a huge quantity of rice & salad.
- Herati Kabab - $12.50: comes with a chicken kabab & kofta: chicken meat had the same consistency as the chicken breast meat. They used the same kofta in this platter and the Sardari Kabab. This dish also came with lots of rice and salad. I would just order this platter because it is less expensive than the one above, but the chicken meat is pretty much the same in both of them.
[OVERALL] - 3/5
Overall, the platters were really good and came in large portions. I would recommend this place if you enjoy delicious Afghan food. However, you risk encountering a long line, limited seating, and a long wait before you receive your order. Good things come to those who wait, right?
