The food was good, very large portions and well seasoned. The two sauces that come with the meal I ordered pair nicely with the meat and rice. Service was average, food came quick and staff was friendly but nothing that stood out. The restaurant itself is very big with a lot of seating. The decor could use some updating but overall looks clean and spacious. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My family and I were visiting from the United States and were looking for a local restaurant that served real Afghan cuisine--and Bamiyan Kabob exceeded our expectations. Heads-up to fellow Americans: If you're visiting from the United States, bring Canadian cash! Credit and debit cards issued in the United States are not accepted here. Nonetheless, the staff was really helpful and attentive while explaining their payment procedure. They walked me through the alternatives with no haste or attitude, which made the experience even more inviting. I ordered the Sultani Plate, which included a skewer of tender koobideh and a perfectly grilled barg kabob. The meat was juicy, tasty, and beautifully grilled. The rice was buttery and fragrant, and the side salad provided a welcome fresh crunch. My wife and kids chose the Chicken Chapli Kabab Plate, and we were all impressed. The patties were juicy, seasoned just right, and went perfectly with the rice and naan. It's a terrific choice for both adults and children, as it's tasty but not overly spicy. We also got Mango Shakes and bottled water. The shakes were thick and creamy, with a tropical sweetness that complemented the savory foods well. A terrific way to calm down and finish the meal. Atmosphere-wise, the setting was clean, family-friendly, and busy--but service was efficient. You could tell this place is popular among locals, and for good reason. Whether you're a local or a guest, Bamiyan Kabob is a must-stop for anyone looking for hearty, tasty Afghan cuisine delivered with real friendliness. Just don't forget your Canadian dollars! read more

My first time eating Afghan cuisine, and it won't be my last! Bamiyan Kabob is made to order, everything is cooked fresh as you order it! The spices are so very unique, the chicken so tender and the naan so fresh and soft. The mango smoothie is very refreshing as well, it's not overly sweetened which makes for a great post-meal beverage (or even during!!) The service does take a bit of time to prepare because again, the food is cooked fresh as you order it. But the wait is definitely worth it. This place is very spacious, can accommodate for plenty of customers for which I noticed were consistently coming through to order their food. read more

The Markham location of Bamiyam Kabob is very solid as I was impressed with the service and food quality when I visited with my friends the other week. The Kofta Kebab Platter was very generous in portion size with lots of rice and vegetables to go along with freshly grilled kebabs. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Coming back to post and update...after years of coming here, I've upped the ratings to 5*. It's rare to find a place that CONSISTENTLY delivers great food. It's always hot, fresh and flavourful. Plated portions are still large and filling and naan bread is still hot and pillowy. This is the only think that shrink from football size to just the size of the bread basket. Mango slush drink is the perfect cold drink to go with your meal. This is still my family's favourite Mediterranean restaurant for the last 10 years. Please don't ever close this location!!! read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

The chicken is so tender here! I have gone a few times here and have tried the chicken breast, tandoori and tikka kabob meals. The meat is beautifully done and tastes delicious. The dinner comes with salad and rice - sometimes the rice is fluffy and other times a little more dry but still good. The salad as you can expect is iceberg lettuce but it comes with a little tomato salsa too. The wrap is pretty good too and filling! You will definitely be full after this. $15 for a dinner meal and $8 for a wrap. Lots of seating. The wait time is about 20min but the food comes out hot and fresh! Plus they give a complimentary pita which is so good warm. Overall a great pick. read more

I haven't been here in almost 4 years that I forgot exactly how good it was. I got the Sultani kabob and honestly it was so good. That first scoop of rice was such a treat for my taste buds. The rice was super aromatic AND delicious. I could just keep eating it!! The kabob was very tender. It tasted well with the white sauce they handed out. That's another thing -- the white sauce (I think it's garlic?) was amazing!! The red sauce was also good, it provided a tangy taste with a hint of spice, however it was the white sauce that blew me away. The value for price is spectacular. We had two people share this one dish because the portions were super big. The dish cost us around $15+tax which is pretty reasonable. The restaurant is pretty spacious and good for big groups. They also have outdoor seating. The system is cafeteria style so you go up and order then sit down till they call your number and then you head to the front to pick up your food. Overall, I'm so amazed by the restaurant and I can't wait to go back again soon. read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Sultani kabob (full meal shown) - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

2019-12-24. Bamiyan Kabob. Markham, ON. Simplicity is often the recipe for success. Bamiyan has a short listed menu and is my go to place for middle eastern kabobs. Bamiyan is a cafeteria style establishment. You place your order at the counter then go find seating and listen for your number. You also have to retrieve the food yourself once it's ready. This location is in a plaza and has a sizable seating area with capacity for about 120. Outside there is plenty of free parking but the outdoor patio is closed for the winter season. The patio has seating for an additional 30 or so. While there are several locations, I don't think it's a franchise. Tonight, we were looking for a bite to tie us over until dinner with the family, so we ordered 2 dinners for the four of us. Not having had it in a while, I had to go with my favourites, I ordered a kofta dinner and a Sultani (barg and kofta). To drink I ordered a Mango smoothie and some sodas. Lastly, for dessert, we had a frozen milk to share. The dinners come with rice, salad, and bread. The Kofta dinner includes a skewer of beef and lamb mix, grilled over an open flame. The meat is cut in half so that it fits on the plate. The barg is a skewer of tenderloin chunks and the Kofta is a mix of beef and lamb. All meats come thoroughly cooked, and are seasoned with their special blend of spices. While the spices won't knock your socks off, they pleasant to the taste buds. There is a super slight hint of spiciness in the Kofta, so beware if you have little ones, or big ones, that can't handle spice at all. The frozen milk was new to me, so I had to try it. Three small scoops of sweetened frozen milk, topped with cream, and what can only be the complex spice cardamom. It was dry, gingery, and slightly bitter. Despite it being the third most expensive spice in the world (next to saffron and more recently vanilla), I don't care much for the flavour it adds. The salad is more a westernized thing and is just iceberg with diced tomatoes, onions, and spices. The rice is basmati, and the bread is Afghani naan. There's not much to say about these, the rice is steamed and the bread is baked. The naan is more dense than Indian naan. Like I said from the onset, it's simple food, and it's absolutely delicious! I have yet to be disappointed at any of their locations. 4 stars overall. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit! read more

Decent food , large portions, fresh meat & salad and quick service. The place can be quite crowded, but the Markham location is big enough to accommodate crowd rush. read more

recently visited vamuan kebob exprience. The service requires you to pay upfront in cash, wait for your food, and then clean up after yourself, which was not clearly communicated. I ordered a Greek salad with chicken kebab for 16 CAD, expecting a fulfilling meal. Unfortunately, the meal fell short in both quality and portion size. Worse, I bit into an olive with a hidden seed in my salad, initially fearing a broken tooth; I'm still concerned it might be fractured. The decor was uninviting, with stark lighting and dirty chairs, detracting from the dining atmosphere. Based on my experience, especially considering the risk of dental injury from the meal, I recommend exploring other dining options." read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Chicken kebob and Greek salad - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. Originally we came here to dine in but upon walking into the store it was really hot inside. There definitely was no AC! And Friday was hot but not burning so I can't imagine how bad it'll be if it was hotter. So we decided to get take out. The employees were very nice and helpful. We ended up ordering Sultani kabob and tandoori chicken dinner. The food took about 10 mins. The portions are big. Both items came up to $33. MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THE WHITE SAUCE! It's what makes the meal! Unfortunately for this location they don't automatically give them. I was looking forward to having my tandoori chicken as I haven't had it in awhile. And since the last time I remembered it to be quite good. But when I finally got to try it, it was only mediocre. It was a little bland for me. From the rice to the chicken. I think at other locations they have the salad in a separate container but for this location the salad was in the same and it made it soggy. The sultani was a little dry in my opinion. One of the naan was hard and not soft and fluffy which was disappointing. Overall the food was ok. If I ever crave for it I'll probably go to another location. read more

I remember the last time I stepped inside this building...it used to be Ferrovia Italian Restaurant... That's explain why all these flagged stone and Italian tiles on the floors and the walls. Of course now Bamiyan Kabob took out all the chic furnishing, shutters, chandeliers it looks like more of a fast food joint. Nothing wrong with a fast food as long as it tastes good and reasonable priced. And Bamiyan Kabob is just that... Order your food...Wait for your number.....Pick up your food...Enjoy. Tikka Wrap ($5.29) - The Beef Tenderloin is cooked Medium Well with just a hint of pink is surprisingly moist and tender - Extra Spicy can be a little bit for spicy but the sauce is quite tasty - love the idea of a wrap as I can eat my lettuce, tomato and red onion at the same time as a quick lunch One thing I have to give Bamiyan Kabob credit is though it is a "fast food" joint concept, at least you get real plate and cutlery... I just hate using plastic knife and eat on Styrofoam plate. I do smell like smoke and meat after eating here... If you do eat in, stay far far away from the kitchen! read more

This was my first time eating Afghani food and it was quite a pleasant experience. I arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday, it wasn't that busy and I just beat the lunch rush soon after. The restaurant was very spacious and the staff were kind and helpful. I ordered a Sultani Kabob Dinner, which is a combination of Barg Kabob and Kofta Kabob including rice, salad, and naan. Also, I bought a $3 Mango Smoothie. My overall total was approximately $18. Both the kabobs I got in my dinner were very savoury and the rice and salad were very satisfying too. My kabob dinner came with a small mix of diced tomatoes and cilantro which I didn't like, next time I will ask not to include that beforehand. The complimentary sauce for my kabob dinner was good too and did enhance the taste of my meal.The mango smoothie was very delicious and I would have ordered another one again but the price deterred me from doing so. My meal was very filling. Additionally, I was able to get extra dressing for my salad, which is probably caesar dressing, on the side after I ordered. I feel the mango smoothie could have been a bit cheaper, but overall it was worth it. If I ever crave for Afghani food again, I would go to Bamiyan Kabob. read more

Love this place. It was my first time having mantoo. It's like a middle eastern dumplings. It's very tasty, the cilantros on top is a perfect touch to the dish. It adds a crunchy texture, refreshing and have nice fragrance. It has beef filling on the inside and Chickpea sauce on the outside. It's just super yummy. It's a must get. The half chicken dinner, the chicken is super juicy and it had a nice kick at the end. It will definitely fill you up, I couldn't finish this by myself. I shared with my friend and we still have left over after this. Highly recommend this place, not to mention the nan that came with his was also yummy. read more

Food is yummy and a large portion. Usually we get one to share between my bf and I. This time we tried the montoo. (Similar to dumplings) delicious !

They both came with bread which we couldn't finish lol Very good place to come try if you haven't yet. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time because I hear everywhere that the food here is really good. I heard that the meat was dry, but my kabob was really juicy and tender! The experience was alright, only the meat was good, the rest was standard. we went at 11:30am on a saturday and we were the only ones. heard they get really packed at dinner time. The decor is nice, colour scheme is consistent and walls feel true to the origin. This is kind of like a fast food set up where you order at the cash and you pick up your food. I got the kofta kabob (no rice) just salad and naan, but for some reason the cashier charged me 9.49 knowing i wanted no rice. it should be 7.49? anyway, the kabobs were tender and very juicy. I appreciate that there's no skewer. I do wish though that the salad was more interesting than lettuce and chopped tomatoes. It's dressed with typical caesar dressing and cilantro. I didn't use the little red sauce because i don't like tang. I also wish that there was something to dip my naan in. Naan is okay didn't feel very fresh- neither crispy and light nor hot and soft, it's kind of in between :/ But I do want to point out that my tray is very well presented. The dish looks just like in the picture and no lettuce or anything was hanging off my plate, kabobs were placed neatly together in the center. Points for food presentation!! I also got the firnee). The dessert was white and creamy. A little gooey and cooling which is nice and it's actually a large cup for dessert. But the dessert seemed to be sitting there for awhile since the top had dents instead of being smooth. I wish too there was more sprinkle of cardamon and pistachios on top though, it was barely a sprinkle. Overall, the food is alright, I'm only going to go back for the kabobs itself. read more

I think Bamiyan is one of my favourite kabob places. I've been to many, but the cooking is always great. Nice juicy moist kabobs. Today I had chicken and lamb. Both were pleasant to look at and flavourful and moist. There was a large serving of salad with mine and no naan. They traditionally serve salad, rice, and naan, but I have special dietary restrictions. They have a good selection of drinks (no alcohol of course), and a mango lasse or a chai. The restaurant is very much steeped in its afghani traditions, and a pleasure to visit and eat at. Clean, staff are cordial and polite, bathrooms are immaculate. Great place for a meal! read more

Bamiyan Kabob - I - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I felt like trying something new and Afghan food fits into that category for me. A friend of mine recommended this place a while back so it's been on my list for a while. It was quite busy when we arrived but we quickly figured out that we had to order at the counter and wait for our number to be called. The menu posted on the wall had the names of the dishes but no description. The few pictures helped but, luckily, there was another menu taped to the counter near the cash register that had descriptions. I chose the Choppan Kabob (Lamb chops mildly marinated in different spices) and both of my dining companions chose the Chicken Kofta Kabob (chicken breast and lean ground beef marinated in our seasoning). I'll have to educate them on the art of ordering different dishes. We found a vacant table and waited for our number to be called. It took about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. The portions were very generous and the food was very well seasoned and cooked. The lamb chops ,might have been overcooked by most standards but I actually like mine medium well and it was tender. The chicken and beef were also seasoned well, tender, and moist. Salad and naan were included, although this naan was more like a flatbread, a little heavier than Indian or Pakistani naan. Good, but different. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely return. My rating would have been higher if the menu was more descriptive and they had table service. read more

I came here today for lunch I ordered the sheeryakh but in the bottom of the bowl I found a hair at least they gave me a new one which is good but honestly their kabob doesn't have taste anymore For Afghan food this is the worst place to go.

First time trying Afghan food, and I'm glad I went here! Arrived around 5:45 and it wasn't too busy. I highly recommend coming a little bit earlier as it gets super busy after 6pm! There were tons of people ordering take out. PROS: - The kofta kabobs were fantastic!!! So flavourful, tender, and went really well with the cream sauce they give you - The naan bread was amazing. Never had it before, and I've been missing out! The bread came out super hot and fresh, it had the right amount of crisp and chewiness to it! It comes with the meal too! Score! :) - The portions are huge and its such a great deal! $10.49 plus tax. I was able to save lunch for tomorrow! - The workers there are very nice! My boyfriend went over to the cash to see if he could swap the hot sauce they gave him with the cream sauce. They were nice enough to offer him not 1 but 2 more cream sauces, and let him keep the hot sauce - The place is kind of like a food court, where you order and sit down wherever you want! I like that type of environment because I don't feel rushed CONS: - It took quite a long time after we placed our order to get our food. We waited about 20 minutes. Even after waiting so long, the food wasn't as hot as we expected (except the naan bread, which was extremely fresh!) Other than that, it was great! If you're not in a rush, then this place is worth waiting for. Can't wait to go back and try the other dishes! read more

Bamiyan Kabob - Kofta kabob $10.49 plus tax - Afghan Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My family actually quite likes this place. It's a good value for a decent portion size. I think sometimes, the meat is either a good amount, or quite little.. so I wish there was more portion control there. The smaller meat pieces tend to be really dry and tough.. But... everything else does taste great and I love the spicy little salsa they give you. It's tangy and spicy and just adds a level of freshness to the meal. The staff here are really nice and quite patient for first timers who don't know what's what. They have adequate seating and most people here just eat and go. For a chain restaurant, this is not bad :) I would recommend it if you're looking for a quick bite! The chicken dishes are great and the kabobs. I would not be likely to order the lamb again cause they were really small and over cooked pieces each time we ordered it. But the chicken gets a big thumbs up. I've yet to have a dry piece of chicken so maybe it's just my luck. read more

I loved my Tandoori Chicken Greek Salad! At this establishment, you order at the counter and then have a seat while you wait for your number to be called. The portion was large (I had to take the leftovers to go) and they provide containers of salad dressing and additional sauces. The garlicky white sauce is delicious! If they don't give it to you, make sure you request it! My parents had the spicy chicken korma and a kabab dinner. They loved their meals as well. They give a decent amount of rice and salad with the dinners. All meals also come with naan which is fresh and tasty as well. The food is great but don't expect the friendliest of service. I went up to the counter to ask for a spoon and was met by a busy rushed woman which made me scared when I had to go back up to ask for a to-go container. read more

We went to the Jane location, last night and really enjoyed the food. So we came to this location, nearest our house tonight. We ordered mantoo(dumplings), kofta wraps, chaplee with salad, kofta kabobs dinner and a bamiyan mista(salad). We ordered and waited to get our food. Lots of orders left and it took 30 minutes for our food. We were left waiting for the mantoo. The lady said that she would bring it to us. Off we went to eat our food, it is nicely seasoned and portions are big. After we finished eating we still didn't have our mantoo. As, we were quite full, we just asked for a refund. They hadn't arrived in 55 minutes. Everybody that comes here orders a dinner, our wraps took ages to come, we were the only people to order those too. Food is good here but just order the dinners, otherwise your order will take ages or not come at all. The bread here is very crunchy, like a thin crust pizza. I prefer the softer bread at the Jane location. But my kids loved the crispy bread from this location. read more

Let me preface this review by saying I've been coming here for over 4 years probably. Just see my tips and photo contribution to this place as proof. I'm writing this review because I've noticed a trend. The trend indicates to me that this place is thinking too highly of themselves now and have clearly been cutting corners. First is price. It seems like every time I come here the cost to my usual meal goes up by $0.25. I'm fine with that but my problem is the quality has clearly gone down. The meat isn't cooked as well anymore but I'm sure many people won't notice because it's so heavily season (the combination of spices is still wonderful) and people sometimes will use a lot of hot sauce. I remember it used to take a LONG time to get my meal because grilling meat to order will take a long time -- I'm fine with that. Now, the order flies out. Once, I ordered, went to the bathroom, came back and my order was already waiting (huh?). Other times the meat doesn't look like it's had enough go time on the grill because of the colour but the meat would be fully cooked and tough. This indicates some pre-cooking is being done. The customer service is getting down right rude, I have noticed. Never with me though; I'm not picky and I don't request anything special, but I have seen it to others. The greediness of the owner is definitely showing. Prior, you were able to get as many hot sauces as you like -- I once saw someone had 9 with their meal! (Y) I usually need two, which they've never refused me but I've noticed the last few times I've been here they've refused it to customers or they will be charged for it. Really?! Just now, as I'm writing this, someone got told that he wasn't allowed to have the "white sauce" (one used for salad) because he didn't order salad. The customer whispered a response that was presumably asking when they started doing this and the employee responded with last week. She gave him the sauce anyways and gave him a warning. The rice and naan are still good. Nothing has changed there. Hard to screw with that though. I've been coming here less frequently and I think that trend will continue. read more

I have only had their tandoori dinner on multiple occasions and it was really good. The chicken was very juicy and flavourful. However, i do find the chicken to be a little on the salty side a few times. But i douse most of my food with sodium so it wasn't a big deal for me. The tandoori dinner comes with the naan bread, which is really good when you eat it while its warm and fluffy. They also give a hot sauce with all this and it is to die for. Its not like any store bought hot sauce! read more

There are many high reviews here and after eating here I will agree that this probably is the best kabob place around and it does deserve all the high praise. The service is excellent, the place is clean and nicely furnished. The kabobs themselves are huge and juicy and could easily feed two people from one dish as the portions of everything is massive. Ordered the following: chicken and kofta kabob dish $12.50 kofta kabob dish $9.49 Both meals come with rice, salad, naan, kabobs and some kind of dipping sauce. The dipping sauce itself is hard to describe. It looked like tomato paste but tasted nothing like it. The sauce tasted sour, vinegary with a bit of heat. I didn't really like it. I was confused how to eat the naan since I usually eat it with some kind of dipping sauce like curry but I just ended up eating it with the meat. I also usually eat kabobs with sour cream so it always felt there was something missing. So like Corey R said already its like a fusion of Indian with the naan and Greek with the kabobs. Overall, everything was excellent but its not my cup of tea or not the type of food I usually enjoy eating. I give it a 3 star rating but I know it deserves higher. read more

Haven't had much Afghani food in my life, but WOW this place is great. I highly recommend the lamb and the tandoori chicken. You get amazing long grain rice and tangy salad with tomatoes with all the basic meals. Not to mention a very large piece of Afghan bread which is so delicious. All in all, its a great little variety all in one meal and the price is great for the portion size. If you've never had Afghani before, I would kind of describe it as kind of like greek food, but with indian flavors. But really its a unique cuisine all to its own. I can't recommend this place enough. I could eat here 3 meals a day. So fresh and so filling. Don't miss out! read more

This place is one of my family's go to places when it comes to eating out. We don't normally dine in though because the place is usually busy during dinner time. We always get the chicken kabob dinner, comes with a generous amount of brown rice, salad (tomatoes, onions, lettuce), & about 8 pieces of chicken kabob. Sooooo good, especially when you eat it with their hot sauce. Their hot sauce isn't really the typical hot sauce, more like a vinaigrette consistency but makes anything on their menu better. The dish is enough to share between two people, at least. It is a good deal for $13.49. Their chicken kabob wrap is also really good, it consists of everything in their dinner tray except for the rice. The wrap is a really good size & can easily be eaten in two different sittings. The hot sauce is already inside the wrap, however, I suggest you always ask for additional on the side. It is also cheaper than the dinner & I would suggest this over the dinner. It is $6.99. I would stay away from the seafood, very dry & not flavourful. In general a solid place to eat. But be careful what time you go because regardless of whether you are dining in or taking out, the line is usually crazy. read more

Wow! There isn't many authentic afghan food places out there, so i'm incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon this one. Featured in a packed plaza with several big restaurants, this gem is hard to spot, but also provides contrast to the other high end places. The prices for this place is incredibly fair, given the humongous portions plus the flavourful naan. It isn't a sit-down restaurant service, so the atmosphere is very relaxed and spacious! Perfect hang-out spot. Food is always fresh and the portions are huge. The only negative is that the rice is fairly flavourless, but it might just be what it's suppose to taste like. Mango smoothie is also super delicious and tangy! Different and unique flavour in comparison to your typical mango drink. read more
