Had a family run vibe. There are lots of reviews with high marks so it seems like a sure bet... we tried the chicken and beef shwarma plates. The overall portion was good but there wasn't enough of the beef or chicken. Didn't look the the majority of pictures where there is more meat. Have a look at my pics vs the other pics on the yelp page. The flavors on the meat might have been tuned for a western audience and seemed muted. The chicken was better than the beef. Neither was cut from the vertical rotisserie and were sitting in the bins... seemed dry. I would have thought if it's at the end of the day and the quality isn't as good as at the beginning of the day you would like on the meat... instead if trying to stretch it out lowering the quality of the meal even more. Sadly I won't be going back.

We searched for a lunch place near the riverview zoo as they don't sell meals there, and this place…read morehas a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google maps! They aren't open on Fridays. So we tried it - between three adults and a kid, we ordered the chicken shawarma, a kabob meal, and a veggie with white beans meal, plus stuffed vine leaves as an appetizer. The fruit punch was very sweet, we added water to it. The apricot paste we had as fruit roll up, not too sweet, tasty so we bought two. All tasted good, we even seemed to have a visit from an auditor or health inspector.

The food was good, very large portions and well seasoned. The two sauces that come with the meal I…read moreordered 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.

My family and I were visiting from the United States and were looking for a local restaurant that…read moreserved 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!

Entering this location of Paramount Fine Foods Middle Eastern Kitchen in Markham, the appetizing…read morearomas of BBQ grilled meats wafted through the air tantalizing the senses. The interior of the restaurant was spacious and comfortable. We received a warm welcome by the amiably attentive staff from the moment we entered. We placed our order immediately - falafels, hummus, labneh, moutabbal, and arnabeet - and didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. We were given two freshly baked steaming hot homemade pitas which came straight from their stone oven. The food here is very good. The falafels were deliciously made with ground chickpeas, super seasoned with fresh herbs. They were scrumptiously salty, fried to a crispy golden brown, topped with sesame seeds and served with a tahini dip. Next was the fried cauliflower which was tossed in a tahini-garlic sauce and drizzled with copious amounts of sour lemon. The sour lemony taste of the arnabeet served as a counterpoint to the salty flavour of the crunchy falafels. Served with fresh baked pita bread came the delightful hummus, labneh, moutabbal dips. The moutabbal was exceptionally tasty made with fire roasted eggplant, blended with tahini-garlic topped with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and jewelled with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. The hummus was an excellently smooth blend of chickpeas and creamy tahini. A solid choice. The labneh pressed yogurt mixed with garlic, drizzled with olive oil and topped with zaatar seasoning of thyme and sesame seeds. Their dessert section appealed to me, particularly the Lebanese Kinafe boat made from shredded vermicelli filled with cheese baked and drizzled with sweet rose blossom syrup, served in a freshly baked sesame pie. I am already planning what to try out for my next visit - the Paramount Special Drink of mango/strawberry juice and chopped tropical fresh fruits with strawberry, kiwi, pineapple, topped with almonds, pistachios, ashta cream and honey. Amazing restaurant for delicious middle eastern food, clean comfortable dining atmosphere and excellent service. Thankful that they are open late until 10 PM on weekdays and until 11 PM on weekends.

We had called prior to ask if they took reservations and they said not unless it was for a very big group. I was familiar with the franchise and knew what I wanted to order. We got a chicken shawarma wrap, a mixed combo entree and a beef hummus. The beef hummus was as I expected. Good amount of meat and super flavorful. Really enjoyed it with the pita. The chicken wrap was a little disappointing - it was a bit dry and a bit smaller than expected. The mixed combo grill tasted great - with kafta, beef and chicken. It did feel a little overpriced at nearly $30 but it was tasty. The service was so so. It was very comfortable seating as it wasn't busy. We were checked on maybe once and it was hard to flag someone down to get a refill of water (which didn't happen). Overall was a decent experience and would come back.
