| - I've been to Affy's multiple times because it is one of the very few halal steakhouses. Affy's was one of the pioneers of serving halal traditional North American food.
The main customer base for Affy's are folks who only eat halal food. If you are one of those people then you'll enjoy Affy's. if you aren't, then most chances you won't enjoy Affy's because you have much more options for western food which taste much better.
Since I've been here around 10x , I've tasted almost everything on the menu at least once. The appetizers are 2/5, I've never had a good appetizer to this day.
Their burgers are decent but are often great value (3.5/5). Each burger comes with a side, and there are a a good variety of burgers to choose from. I really enjoy the Roast Beef BBQ sandwich which is quite tasty and filling. The other great option is the Texas Fried Chicken burger. The piece of chicken on that burger is relatively large and taste good as well, that's why it's a go to for a bunch of my friends.
The steaks at Affy's suck 1/5. I've had them at multiple occasions thinking they will somehow get better each time. They aren't cooked to my liking (most of the time they are just well done). They have come out cold and often take forever to be served.
The salads are okay. I usually get one of the salads and put extra meat in them.
The fajitas and sizzlers are decent as well (3/5). I've tried them each once which I enjoyed. However they aren't anything special to make me try them again.
The two most popular entrees I'd say are the stuffed Cajun chicken breast and the bbq ribs. I personally don't eat stuffed chicken breasts so I won't rate it. However, most of the people I visit the restaurant really enjoy it.
The best thing on the menu by far is the full stack of bbq ribs. It's fairly expensive but definitely worth it. I still prefer Affy's bbq ribs even when compared to other non-halal joints. I'd give the ribs close to a 5/5.
The service at Affy's is horrendous. At a few occasions I've had to wait for at least an hour for my food. I wouldn't recommend visiting this place in a big group because the food comes out cold as they take so long to make it. If it wasn't a specialty restaurant, I'd never put up with their shitty service. Sometimes they are okay, sometimes they are horrible. So please beware ! This place is extremely busy on holidays like eid and iftaar time.
Affy's is a below average restaurant with select dishes which taste fantastic. If it's your first time, I'd get a burger as they are good value. If you like them, then you can start risking their entrees as they become pricier (often not worth it like their crappy steaks). In the end, you'll end up find the special thing that you like... for me it's the roast beef sandwich and the ribs!
