    Chicken breast kabab with Kandahar sauces
    Richa R.

    When it comes to kababs this place does it allllll chicken, beef/veal, lamb, fish you name it they have it. Their flavours, quality of meat and quantity is bang on every time! What I got: Chicken Breast Kabab - boneless chicken breast pieces grilled to a juicy perfection, so mouthwatering! The second picture is just the meat all sauced up with KK's special spicy orange and creamy white sauces. Barg Kabab - tender pieces of veal fillets grilled to a juicy finish, I always get a skewer of this one on the side it's just too good to pass up, super tender and flavourful as well. The meal comes with afghani rice as you can see, not pictured are the naan and fresh garden salad as well completing it as one big filling meal!

    Grilled veggies.

    Don't get be fooled with website pictures. Their grilled veggies means one grilled tomato and one grilled onion. Meat quality is good. Rice are all sticky. More quantity over quality.

    Chicken kabab with rice and salad. It comes with a pita. I asked the salad dressing to be held and it was on it. My friend sent it back!

    It has been a few years since I first reviewed Kandahar Kabab. I went back a few times this week. Things have changed and so has my perfect-star rating. I have it down to 3.5 stars. The food still tastes good. In the past, the side salad consisted of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. These days, you get short sticks of them. On Monday, my boyfriend and I were there for lunch. Our usual place, Royal Jasmine, was closed due to water damage from the ice storm last weekend. We decided to give this place a try. He had never been there. He got the beef kofta, which consists of two ground beef skewers. He opted for salad only. I went with the chicken kabob (you get one skewer) with rice and salad. I had asked for no salad dressing on my salad. The woman said that could be arranged. I also got a can of Diet Coke. They call your order number on the speaker system. Your order number does not get called numerically. It does sound like a random generator the more you listen in. Our order was ready. We went up to fetch it. I got to my table and noticed that there was dressing all over my salad. The problem is that the dressing has dairy in it and I am borderline lactose-intolerant. My boyfriend took my food back to the order area and asked for a fresh salad without the dressing. I got a clean plate with everything I had originally wanted. The food was good. The chicken morsels were seasoned nicely and juicy. The salad was crisp and good. You also get pita bread with your order. We went back there for lunch on Tuesday. I ordered the chicken tikka. I decided to not get the rice. Once again, I specified not having any salad dressing. Guess what? I got dairy salad dressing on my salad. Ugh! I asked to get my order corrected. Yep, it happened a second time. It was the same woman at the counter who didn't convey this detail to the guy preparing the food. We came back to this restaurant after work on Thursday. I got the beef kofta, as did my boyfriend. He ordered first. I then said that I wanted the same thing as he had ordered. The same woman taking the order paused for a good thirty seconds before she asked what I wanted again. I said that I wanted the beef kofta with salad, but without the dressing. Okay, so it takes the third try to not get dressing on top of my salad. I like progress! The problem? There were a couple. My boyfriend also didn't get dressing on his salad, either. He was okay with it. The other issue was that I never said I wanted rice. I got rice. The beef kofta is saltier than I recall. If you are on a sodium-reduced diet, the kofta is not for you. My rating has gone down to due getting my order incorrect three times this week on all three visits. It can pose a serious issue if you have a food allergy or a special dietary need, and you completely ignore it as a staff member at a restaurant. Yesterday, we both decided to go for lunch at a different establishment. We gave this place enough chances to get our order correct. Perhaps a few more tries, and it may be the case. (166)

    chicken breast on rice - $12
    Nabiha I.

    kanadahar is always a go-to spot for me and my family but if your dining in, make sure to ask for a box because the portion and quantity is HUGE. i still am shocked at how they fit that much food on a plate. we are always taking home boxes filled of left over food because it is nearly impossible to finish more than half of their dine-in portion! the meats are tender, juicy and fresh. the rice has the perfect texture and aroma! also recommend to get their naan and dip it in their signature garlic sauce- its so delicious!

    Chicken kebob (dark meat so moist)
    Britany S.

    It's really unfortunate when a business suffers due to customer service. This is probably the best kebab place I have been to on terms of food. They just add a little extra something that makes their food taste better and I prefer their condiments so kudos to the chef BUT the service is lacking. Not only was the wait for the food really long, the servers/cashiers were inattentive and too caught up in their cell phones and conversation to stop and help. I read that they have some sort if complimentary tea. I was excited to try it because I am a lover of tea. When I asked for it she said "the machine is plugged out," at that point I was so disappointed in the service I didn't even bother to ask her to plug it back in. Side note, the cashiers aren't mean they are just not customer service orientated. For me to give this place 4 stars I must have really enjoyed my meal.

    Ah, sucks that this gem has such a low rating! Kandahar was my "go to" lunch spot from work as I used to work in the area. Now, if I am ever in town - this is one of the first stops. We usually get the Sardari kabab place and opt for 2 portions of just the chicken kabob. The chicken is super tender and soft - No idea how they get it so perfect every time. The rice is cooked perfectly and their sauces are off the hook. The naan can be a hit or miss - there has been times that we have gone and got cold naan which sucked. They also have a dish called "bolani" which is a flat bread stuffed with potato. They serve it with yogurt and it is super yummy and reminds me of my mom's homemade paranthas. I've also had a chance to try their "dough" drink which is an Afghani yogurt drink and it was delicious. For all the Poonjabs, it is basically our indian Lassi. Taking off a point because service can also be hit or miss. It's a family run business so if they are busy - they really don't know how to get their shit together and deliver. Its havoc and you can tell on the ladies face who seems to be the owner. But if you go on an empty day, then food is prepared nicely and its top notch quality! If they can work on better serving the lunch crowd - this place would be a total 5!

    Yelp review of this place is totally contradicting with the google review. The true this is nice and big place with good quality food. The service was very quick. Their bread was amazing and it's so soft. I totally recommend this place to all foodies.

    Came here a few times for early dinner a few times and enjoyed it both times…read more I ordered the small chicken madhi plate, which is very filling. We didn't have to wait long before the food was served. The chicken came off the bone so easily, and it was nicely seasoned as well. The dish came on a large bed of rice and a delicious lentil soup, along with dipping sauce. The price was pretty affordable given the size as well. The place was brightly lit and there was lots of space each time I went. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I am usually that person who does this like lamb as much coz of the smell but trust me when I say, this was the softest and juiciest no-smell lamb I have ever had. It was melt-in-your-mouth soft and packed with flavor! The rice portion was enough for 2-3 people to share depending on how hungry you are. It also comes with fried onions and potato on the rice. The chicken and lamb mixed mandi was good too but honestly after trying the lamb, I was sold! However, I did like the rice on the chicken mandi better than the lamb one. I thought it tasted better. The place was quite busy and it's an order-at-counter system they follow but the food was brought in quickly which is appreciated.

    I'm visiting Toronto and wasn't sure what I wanted to eat for dinner so I headed to Yelp, read…read morereviews, and chose Palmyra. I'm so glad I did. This is a small, family owned establishment. The family was actually sitting down to dinner at the end of the day when I arrived approximately an hour before close. It was wonderful to see them eating together. I was immediately greeted by one of the employees. He was very friendly and allowed me to take my time. I wanted to try a falafel because I love to try several menu items. He accommodated that and allowed me to order a single falafel patty to try. I was stuck between choosing the Palmyra Platter or the Mixed Shawarma plate because, as I said, I like to try several items. I ended up choosing the mixed shawarma plate and ordered it as is. The falafel was crispy and I could taste the herbs mixed in. The sauce drizzled over the top was the perfect addition. I was so glad I tried it. I was so eager to taste it that I forgot to get a photo. I chose the mixed shawarma plate thinking it would be a more manageable serving for me to finish than the Palmyra platter. I was sorely mistaken. It was easily enough food for at least 2 people. This was well worth the price point. The salad was fresh and crispy with a good variety of vegetables in it. I really enjoyed the vinaigrette they used for it as well; just tangy enough. The chicken and beef were crispy on the outside and tender inside. They had good flavor and were not dry at all. The spicy potatoes were a tad spicy for me but I still ate them. The rice was ok in my opinion. I had enough left over to eat a second time. I will definitely visit here again on a subsequent trip so I can try more of their menu items. Overall this was a good experience for me.

I placed an order for pickup on a food-delivery app for a Club Mix Wrap ("Pita and saj bread, chicken and lamb shawarma") and added Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Parsley, Cucumber, Hot Sauce, Garlic Sauce, Tahini Sauce, and Pomegranate Molasses. (As an aside, I really hate it when joints like this don't have an option to just order a wrap or sandwich the way they think it should be made. How should I know what sauces or components work well together?) I arrived a short time later and stood at the counter for a solid minute before anyone offered to help, despite the fact that two separate people made eye contact with me. I'm going to chalk that blunder up to the fact that they just opened, however. I took my wrap home and it's good. The flavors are decent and the components work well together. I do have some complaints, however. I don't think the two separate breads do anything to enhance the concoction, while the meats, tender as they were, were completely lacking in the crispy bits one desires with good shawarma. Finally, the four sauces were just too overwhelming. The whole thing was swimming in sauce. Still, there's a lot of potential here and I'll certainly make an effort to give them another shot in a few weeks.
