Royal Kabob Afghan Cuisine — Restaurant in Brampton

Hello fellow foodies today I bring you an outstanding review for this Afghani restaurant. Today driving down Queen St. Brampton 7/19/2022 I was reminiscing about an Afghan restaurant I would frequent when I was working in Scarborough, and thinking how amazing food there really was!!  So I had to get me some Afghani food today! And ladies and gents was I ever glad I stopped into this place to grab some takeout today.

After reading some really great reviews on Royal Kabob Afghan Cuisine I had to drop in and grab some of their authentic Afghani cuisine. They sit on the backside of a not-so-visible plaza close to the downtown part of Brampton just on the north side of Queen St. With plenty of parking. They have a large eat-in dining area with plenty of seating. They do dining-in and takeout.

They claim to be very authentic. Their menu is quite authentic from what I saw loaded will many options, different rice plate combos, salads, curries, and even a lamb shank dish.

Food 5/5 The "The Sultan Kabob Platter" was my choice and it was just phenomenal, just absolute fire! Very Afghani authentic, everything freshly made to order, not the typical dried-out kabobs sitting around all day and stuck on a plate. I mean this dish tasted fresh, not reheated. One Kabob was chunks of juicy perfectly seasoned super tenderloin meat, the other was also very well-seasoned minced meat super tender and juicy. With the two kabobs came a very generous portion of rice, Afghani bread and salad along with two amazing dipping sauces. The basmati rice was delightful and very flavorful you could really taste the cardamom and cinnamon with hints of cumin and garlic in It. The salad was fresh with cucumbers tomatoes red onions and lettuce. The Afghani bread is always a joy to eat and from this place, it was no exception again very fresh. I have to say that the two sauces really stood out to me and were possibly the stars of this dish, The red tomato-based chutney was divine it was almost like a watered-down salsa with more of a lemon flavor and a hint of spice just the perfect dipping sauce for the meat, The white yogurt based chutney was so refreshing with strong hints of lime and possibly mint and cilantro again perfect dipping sauce for the kabobs. The platter itself was a decent generous-sized portion for one person but it was so good I probably would have fished two portions of it. It had a wonderful balance of flavor proteins and carbs. Great dish!

Service 5/5 the food was made fast, the service was very friendly and the price was within reason for this quality of food. The presentation was also very nice. Guys and gals if you're in the area and you want the best Afghani food Brampton has to offer this is one of the places you must...

Walk in for takeout food. I wanted to see the menu before ordering. The server was aggressive and loud and made me order something I didn't want to begin with. However, I took his suggestion and ordered combo #2, which is with chicken kabob and beef kabob. Then, I ordered a couple of beef kabobs again. The rice with the dish was dry and not Kabuli palaw; it was simply brown rice garnished with garam masala. The beef kabobs were overcooked and dry. The chicken kabob was tasteless and garnished with garam masala. The food was ready in 5 minutes, even though I was told that it would take 10 minutes. The food was placed on the side of the register counter without advising me that it was ready for pickup. Meanwhile, the server was talking to some young girls nicely, but when he saw me sitting and waiting, he again shouted that my food was ready. When I asked for utensils, which I knew I would need, they were not provided, and when I asked for them, he was rude and ignorant and said, "Yeah, you take that." Let me tell you about the royal Afghan cuisine and service. Don't judge customers or underestimate them if it's their first time ordering food. If you heard me correctly, I said this is my first time ordering food at your restaurant. No one has extra money to spend on rude and ignorant behavior with food of such low quality compared to other restaurants in Brampton. By the way, I drove 30 minutes based on Google reviews to try your restaurant. I will never be coming back again. Please take your attitude and arrogant behavior back to wherever...

Had lunch today on my birthday and enjoyed every minute.

Firstly, ordered #2: Wazeri Kabob for dine-in. It consists of a bed of flavourful basmati rice, tender chicken and beef kabob and 'caesar' salad. Included are two side sauces of creamy dressing and tomato salsa and freshly baked flat bread. Everything was delicious.

Secondly, the restaurant was very spacious, clean and odour free with comfortable seating. There is enough accommodation for energetic kids. Its a quiet atmosphere, with no music; just enjoy your meal and conversations.

Lastly, I paid $16.95 incl. taxes which is extremely affordable considering inflation and the quality of food and service received. Staff was very respectful in tone and language and I would remind others to do the same.

Overall, a great place to visit. If you can, try to pay with cash. This is to keep supporting wonderful small businesses. I will definitely visit again to try...
