Very friendly staff & a very homely atmosphere. BYOB (Wine) restaurant. The owner is a noble soul, & a very quick service. Food was perfectly cooked & served. Went two times consecutively in two days! Highly recommended.
I've been here twice, the second time within a few weeks of the first because I loved the food so much. Highly recommend going with the set menu in order to sample all of the dishes; really great value for all the food you get. I've enjoyed every dish I've had, from the bread & dips right to the dessert. Highlights for me are the sambossa, borani aubergines, kabuli palaw, & korma chalaw. We got lucky the first time as a group of 5 people without a reservation, but in general I would recommend making a reservation. The only suggestion for improvement would be more consistent service. The first visit, we had very attentive, helpful service where the waiter explained the dishes & also told us our options for different types of tea. The second time, a few weeks ago, the service felt quite impersonal & almost rushed, & I received a black tea instead of being asked for my preferences. That said, the host noticed I was quite cold & actually turned the heat up for me, & the timing of each course was great.
C'est toujours un bonheur de revenir dîner dans ce superbe resto. Les plats sont généreux & délicieux. La terrasse en été est un petit havre de paix. On recommande vivement.
Best Afghan food, high quality food! I did not know Afghan food before this & I have not been able to find another Afghan restaurant that matches the quality here. Highly recommend!
Quel dépaysement! J'ai choisi le menu avec plusieurs services & chaque plat a été une agréable découverte. Le « kofta chalaw » (des boulettes de boeuf) était incroyablement moelleuse & le « ashak » très crémeux! Je recommande largement.

Pour une première fois à manger de la bouffe afghane au restaurant, c'était une très belle expérience. Étant marocain, plusieurs similarité dans les mixes d'épices donc j'ai beaucoup aimé. Certaines aliments ont une texture particulière, donc ça fait nouveau, mais pas toujours pour tout le monde. Les portions sont généreuse pour le prix & une table d'hôte tourne autour des 40$. Je recommande!
On est allé pour un dîner de Noël. Une place magnifique, remplisse de pleins de couleurs & saveurs. Serveur super accueillant & avec une mémoire incroyable. Je remercie à ma collègue de nous avoir ramener à cette belle découverte culinaire. 100% recommended.
I have no bad things to say about this restaurant. The ambience was super cozy & I felt very welcome. Their value for the table d'hôte is incredible if you want to sample many dishes. Everything we ordered was so so flavourful & well spiced. The lamb was incredibly tender. I highly recommend the ashak dumplings & the pumpkin appetizer. This restaurant is well worth the visit.

Très belle découverte! Allez sur la terrasse chauffée à l'arrière, c'est beaucoup trop mignon comme ambiance! & la bouffe est si bonne. Je recommande fortement.
Fantastic food! Delicious vegetarian plate with a number of tasty appetizers. 10/10 would recommend! Mobin gave us excellent service & made us feel right at home.

We had a wonderful experience at this Afghan restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious-full of authentic flavors & perfectly cooked. The staff were incredibly caring & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy amazing Afghan cuisine in a warm & welcoming atmosphere!
The waitstaff were nice & very accommodating, the atmosphere was quite enjoyable, & the food was stellar. The mourg chalaw was delicious. The meat was well seasoned, juicy, & dripped off the bone. While the sauce that came with the meat tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend trying this place.
I recently dined at Afghanic Restaurant & had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was warm & inviting, & the food was incredibly flavorful, offering a delightful taste of authentic Afghan cuisine. Mobeen's hospitality stood out the most; he made us feel right at home with his attentive & friendly service. It's rare to find such genuine & personalized attention. I highly recommend Afghanic Restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy great food & outstanding service.
My first Afghan dish experience & we weren't disappointed! Food was great & the menu offers very decent choices. Ambiance is pretty nice & very Montreal-esque. It was a great night to eat & enjoy a good wine, with good company 😊 Service makes a difference as well. Our waiter was very friendly, hard worker & listened to us like a person. He took time even it was busy. I recommend this place & will come back...hopefully before summer ends to enjoy the Terrace.
