NAAN KABOB — Restaurant in Toronto

Alhumdulillah, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Naan Kabob for a Ramadan Iftar, and it truly was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we entered, the ambiance set the tone for a memorable evening. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with warm lighting and subtle Middle Eastern touches, creating a welcoming and serene atmosphere perfect for opening our fast with family and friends.

The service was outstanding. The manager (Umut) personally greeted each table, which added a personal touch that made the evening feel special. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that every guest was comfortable and had everything they needed throughout the meal.

The food selection was extensive, with a mix of traditional Middle Eastern dishes and unique offerings. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the taste was absolutely top-notch. From the freshly baked naan to the tender kebabs and flavorful hummus, everything was prepared with care and full of vibrant, authentic flavors. The standout dishes for me included the Chapli kebabs, which were grilled to perfection, and the rich, aromatic rice pilaf that paired wonderfully with the other dishes.

What truly set Naan Kabob apart, though, was the attention to detail. The timing of the meal was perfect for Iftar, with everyone able to bring their meals from the buffet to the table before the call to prayer sounded. The fresh juices and traditional Ramadan sweets to end the meal were a lovely touch, offering a refreshing and sweet finish to an already fantastic dining experience. Jalebi was a hit and better than any Indian sweet house. I had to request to purchase a personal box to take home for the family.

Overall, Naan Kabob provided a five-star experience for Ramadan Iftar, offering a blend of exceptional service, delicious food, and a beautiful atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable Middle Eastern dining experience, whether for Ramadan or any special occasion or just a casual lunch/dinner.

May Allah SWT bless this restaurant, owners and workers with immense barakah and...

My wife and I ended up here out of curiousity, since we originally had planned to go to Harvey's since we had a coupon. At the last moment, since both restos are located in the same plaza, we chanced to give Naan & Kabob a try.

We are sorta new to fusion type restos. This appeared to be a fusion of Afghani Cuisine and some Indian mixed in.

Service : service was okay, staff was friendly enough. You place your order at the counter prior to sitting down. You get wireless gadgets to bring to your table that will vibrate to inform you when your order is ready for pickup at the counter.

Food : My wife ordered Chicken Kofta platter and I opted to try the chicken breast skewer platter. Both dishes come with a healthy serving of seasoned rice, a simple salad (iceberg lettuce and red cabbage). Along with a small tomato salad (there might be a specific name for this)?

My wife enjoyed her Chicken Kofta dish, she received 2 kofta skewers (lean ground chicken with onions, seasonings and herbs), I found the kofta a bit spicy. On the down side with my dish, I only received 1 skewer worth of cubed chicken breast meat (lightly seasoned and slightly charred). Along with that I normally find grilled proteins to be on the drier side, if they aren't well marinated well before cooking. My dish also came with 2 large pieces of naan that were cut in 1/2 so 4 pieces altogether (talk about carb load!!). Likely for future visits will opt for the Chicken Kofta platter as well. The rice was moist and seasoned in a subtle fashion. We were both stuffed after we finished consuming our dishes. She had some left on her plate so I happily polished that off. We took our leftover 2 pieces of Naan home with us.

Beverages : we just had water on this visit, since they serve in chilled in kewl looking bottles with caps. Seems like something we've seen before at Ikea.

Repeat visit : yes

Method of Payment : cash/debit, credit cards not accepted, likely due to they don't wish to pay the...

We visited your restaurant today, May 13 at around 7 PM to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary, just as we did on May 13th, 2023. We were a group of around 10 people, excited to enjoy the evening in a place we previously loved for its food and ambiance.

Unfortunately, our experience this time was quite disappointing due to the service we received from short girl at the time of around 7:30 pm.

When we were ready to place our orders, no one came to our table for a considerable amount of time. One of our group members went to the counter to ask about this, and a young girl informed us—rather abruptly—that we must come to the counter to place our orders. Her tone and attitude did not reflect the courtesy and professionalism expected in customer service.

Given that we had a large group with individual preferences, another member kindly requested if the staff could take our orders at the table instead. After repeated requests, she eventually agreed. This interaction left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome on what was meant to be a special occasion.

Additionally, one of the items we ordered—a vegetable option—was completely missed, which further added to our frustration.

On a positive note, we want to sincerely thank the last two female servers who interacted with us. One of them was especially kind—she provided pens when asked and even offered to take a group photo for us. Her warmth and professionalism stood out and were deeply appreciated.

We truly enjoy your food and the environment, which is why we returned to celebrate another anniversary. However, the quality of service is just as important. We hope management can look into staff training, especially in terms of communication and attitude, to ensure that all guests feel respected and valued.

Thank you for taking the time to read our feedback. We hope to see improvements and continue supporting your restaurant...
