I had Kabuli Palaw. It was delicious. They served complimentary bread with 3 dipping sauces. The service was as excellent & the outdoor seating area is great.
This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but they have the NICEST outdoor patio. The food was absolutely amazing & their rose, pistachio dessert was like a milky whipped dream. Delicious! They don't sell alcohol but you can bring your own wine or beer & there's no corking fee! Highly recommend. The waiters were funny & super attentive. Enjoy!
Première expérience pour la cuisine afghane. Le décors & la musique du restaurant nous font voyager. Les plats sont très bons, ça vaut la peine de prendre la table d'hôte! Le staff est très gentil & amical. 😁
The combo meal that has soup, kabuli pulaw, keer, & tea is not only affordable but also very tasty, & the portion is very huge! I was not able to take photos, but I was very glad that I spent my birthday here & every special occassion.
This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Wow, just amazing food. For the entrée we got the leek stuffed pasta, & it was amazing. For the main we got the quail, it was juicy & deliciously seasoned to perfection (apparently the spice mix is a secret that the chef keeps to himself!). We also got the lamb shank, it was so amazingly tender, falling off the bone. I've never eaten such delicious meat in my life. Just wow. The rose pudding felt like a soft cloud inside my mouth, aromatic with notes of pistachios & cardamon, perfect to finish the meal. I recommend going there when you're hungry, because the portions are quite big. The table d'hôte is quite worth it. Our waiter was very nice & fast. Overall an amazing experience. 10/10 highly reccomend.

My husband & I were craving Afghan food & this hit the spot! The ambiance, food & service were all great. We really liked the lentil soup & the noodle soup which were both delicious starters. The afghan hospitality was on full display as they accompanied our firnee with cups of chai!
The food was amazing! At first I was thinking the prices were a little high. But when the food arrived I realized that the portions made it worth it.
Amazing atmosphere specially in the summer time outside! So cozy so nice would recommend!
This is my favourite restaurant in all of Montreal (& maybe the world?) All of the dishes are made with an incredible amount of thought & care, my go-to is the Mantoo. Great atmosphere that showcases the culture & heritage of Afghanistan, & they even have a patio at the back to enjoy with some cool murals. You mustn't miss this hidden gem.
