Afghan Kebab & Shawarma

As the name suggests, this is an Afghan restaurant that specializes in kabobs and shawarma. You can dine in but the place is small with only 4 tables of 4 seats each. It's more of a take out place. You have a choice of either: a chicken shawarma wrap or a chicken shawarma plate and that's it. Don't bother trying to order anything other than chicken shawarma, they won't have it or it's "not available". The menu is just there for decoration. The plate comes with salad and rice, whereas the wrap has nothing else. Even though they only have one choice of protein, it's done well! Their chicken shawarma tastes great and it's good enough to come back for. It's $11 for the wrap and $17 for the plate but I recommend you spend the extra $6 for the plate because you get a lot more food. It's a good sized portion and the best value. They also have a "Sunday Special" where you can get the shawarma chicken plate for $12. This is not a fancy dine in restaurant and yes, they have an extremely limited menu but I do recommend them as a good cheap eat place. For the one single item they offer, they do it well.

This shawarma spot really stands out, especially for the fries—they’re easily some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly crispy, well seasoned, and paired with their garlic sauce, they’re honestly addictive and worth coming back for on their own. The shawarma itself was fresh, flavorful, and packed properly with good portions. Everything tasted well-balanced, not overly greasy, and clearly made with care. Ali, the owner, was very welcoming and takes real pride in the place. You can tell he cares about the food and the customer experience, and that energy carries through to the whole staff. Everyone was friendly, quick, and made the visit feel comfortable and easy. Overall, a solid spot with great food and even better service. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving good shawarma and seriously good fries.

I went to this new shawarma spot and as soon as I walk in you can smell how delicious it is! I ordered the dinner plate and a chicken salad. It was so flavourful! The vegetable were some of the freshest ones I've ever tasted! Adding to that the service was amazing (so kind)! 100% recomend!

​I had a very bad experience at this location today. I went in to pick up a rice pack and a shawarma. There were two employees working behind the counter. One of them (wearing glasses) was doing a great job, wearing gloves, and practicing proper food safety. ​However, the other employee was a completely different story. She was not wearing gloves at all. When it came time to portion out the chicken, she actually used her bare hands to pick up the meat and put it in the food. Not only is using bare hands incredibly unhygienic and a major health concern, but the portion of chicken she gave me was also extremely small. The overall service from her was just not good. It was so unhygienic that the food went straight into the dustbin. I am incredibly disappointed, wasted my money, and will not be coming back.
