This restaurant is criminally underrated & one of the best kept secrets in Montreal. My group of friends has come here two years in a row for our holiday dinner, & both times we were accommodated in the private room at the back at no extra cost. They even provided a speaker to hook up our own music. For the meal, we went with the table d'hôte, for which there are two options (one at $39.95 & one at $49.95). Both options come with an appetizer, main, dessert & Afghani tea, however the more expensive meal includes a larger selection of appetizers & additional main courses. You cannot go wrong, but I highly recommend paying the additional cost so that you can have the manto or ashak as your appetizer. I picked the chabli kabob as my main which had the perfect level of juiciness & spice, & came with deliciously aromatic sides (ride & salad). The portions are very generous & it's possible you'll leave with some to bring home. For dessert, I had the baklava which was perfectly flaky & syrupy. All in all, I find it rare to get food of this quality & quantity at this price point in Montreal, plus it is BYOW so you save a ton of money on drinks. I didn't even mention how incredible the service is. The staff are all so gracious & kind. I would not hesitate to return to this restaurant!
We were greeted with a welcome smile, in a beautifully decorated restaurant. The decor made us feel immerse in other culture, curious about every item they had at display: typical clothing, symbols, art, music. The food awoke my senses, the smell was intriguing, the presentation so well done, the taste an explosion of new flavors. We started with a very rich flavor soup maison(delicious), followed by manto ( what a delicacy), lamb with rice, dessert Baklava with tea(perfect combination). We had an evening of joy, with warming atmosphere, perfectly crafted food, & extremely polite, welcome waitress. It was a delightful experience. We'll be back for sure.
Literally hands down the meat dish I've ever had. I was legit having a foodgasm when eating the Zardak Chalow! It is a veal dish with carrots much like a curry, very soft & full of rich flavours that melt together in your mouth. The accompanying salad & rice was nice as well with a hint of sumac, goji berries & saffron. The black tea was also good & cardamom & other spices. Overall highly recommend !!!
The service was really really great. The server took the time to explain which dishes he recommends, & he was absolutely correct. The lamb is marinated very well, the rice is perfect, & the tea after the meal was a very nice touch for an unbeatable price.
I went here because I had been craving "Kabuli pulao" traditionally made with tender carrots shreds, raisins, almonds & lamb in rice. The restaurant satisfied my craving. Their "Kabouli Pulao" was well made, the meat was tender & the serving size was quite adequate too. However, I didn't find any almonds in there as it said in the recipe. The recommended "Firni" dessert wasn't good at all. It was quite bland & it didn't have any pistachios or cardamom in it as it said in the menu. The green tea with cardamom was good but on the milder side. I feel it could be stronger as it traditionally is, & should come with sugar, at least on the side. The ambience was simplistic with a traditional look (lots of maroon) & pretty good but the place could use some better lighting. There were no serviettes available so I would advise some paper napkins too besides the cloth ones, not that it was much of a problem. Then again, maybe they were trying to be eco-friendly. The owner Obaid was generally hospitable. However, he insisted on speaking only in French & I had to struggle through that. Once I was done eating though, I found him conversing with other guests in English, after which he gladly switched with me as well. Maybe it was a miscommunication on my part though, to be fair. Anyway, he was a good & polite host otherwise. They close their kitchen early though, I think around 9 p.m. so don't be late.
Fenetre sur Kaboul was recommended to my friends & I during our trip to Montreal. We came on a busy Saturday night but were accommodated quickly by very friendly staff. My friends had never had Afghan food & didn't know what to order but our waiter made excellent recommendations. For appetizers we ordered bolani, mantu, badengan borani (eggplant) & shor nakhot with pakora (their special of the weekend.) Everyone enjoyed the appetizers. We then ordered Kaboul Kabob (a combination of three different Kabobs: Lamb, Chicken, & beef.) It was an amazing plate! We also ordered a "curiosity plate" with samples of several different dishes. This was a very good idea because everything on the plate was delicious. Their serving sizes are generous. Then we moved to their Tea lounge for dessert & tea. We ordered their homemade Afghan ice cream, "Sheer yakh", & it was amazing. We also ordered some creme rolls that went perfectly with tea.
I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely visit again when we are in Montreal.
This new Afgan resturant is a must. Great, authentic food, bring your ow wine, reasonably priced. Everything was so delicious ! After dinner you can have tea in the tea room , A go to place for anyone who would like a true, authentic, Afgan food experience.
