  • This place really left a deep satisfying impression on me. I'm really glad that I discovered this place and was able to sit down and have a really delicious dinner. This place delightfully straddles the line between a more formal sit-down restaurant or an upscale casual restaurant. The service was quite smooth and the servers were so kind and attentive. They brought a bottle of water to our table and even helped us take away our plates/cutlery/trays at the end of the meal. You keep your buzzer near you so you know when to go to the counter when the food is ready. Warning that the buzzer will definitely get your attention and there was not person that I saw (including myself) that was startled by it. Haha. The restaurant is wonderfully decorated inside with some nice artwork on the wall, some cozy and comfy booths, and tables mixed with chairs/backless tools. It feels homey and like you are sitting in your own living room. The menu offers a lot of different tastes of Afghan street food and I really took my time going through the menu. They offer appetizers, salads, small plates, big plates, and group platters to satisfy everyone's hunger levels. I wanted to try everything but kept it sensible in the end. It proved a wise decision. I love the gaminess of lamb so when I came across their signature bone-in lamb shank, I felt like it was calling to me. BOOM. We got a mango smoothie and I was overly curious about the doogh (traditional mint yogurt drink). The mango smoothie was not overly sweet and was the right viscosity. The doogh is definitely an acquired taste with the tartness of the yogurt hitting your tastebuds and then the menthol flavours following afterwards. I think both drinks would be effective in subduing the extra spicy flavours of the Afghani hot sauce. The lamb shank oozes value for money in my eyes. Maybe it was the particular piece that was on my plate but it was very generous for an up-scale casual place. The meat really falls off the bone with not a lot of effort from your utensils while the seasoning is solid and complement the lamb flavours. I can tell you that I picked that shank clean to the bone. The long grain brown rice tossed with the fried sweet carrot strips and juicy sultana raisins was delightful in its own right. We had a great time marvelling at how much just carrots and sultanas can enhance a side of rice. We haven't even gotten to the side of delicious chicken curry that comes with the meal or the fresh naan in the basket next to it! It's almost not needed yet it is! I was heading towards a serious food coma after helping to finish my partner's waziri plate of tandori chicken and ground beef skewer. That plate was pretty delicious too but the brown rice with no sultanas and carrots just wasn't the same. This place is just down a short way from the Yonge-Bloor station south exit and I can see myself coming here again and again in the future. I might never get past ordering the lamb shank dinner lol.
