I work close to this place and frequent for lunch and dinner. The food is good especially the chicken. The team behind the counter is dedicated and friendly. I usually l get my order in 5 min or less even when it’s busy. I would definitely check it out.

Quick service … Tasty flavourful food… the chicken kabob is great and tender, tandoori special gives you a nice mix and the beef kabob is also very flavourful and tasty. Salad could use a little extra something something but is fresh ingredients at least for now. Great place if you need a quick bite.

The food is okay, the service is terrible. I went here for lunch and was one of a handful of customers in the restaurant. I placed my order and was given my order number of 20. The first number that was called after I ordered was #17… great, only a few more orders! By the time order #26 was called it was clear that something was wrong, I understand that some orders take longer to cook and won’t be called out in sequence… but six orders and counting before mine is cooked? Then, finally, #20 is called… but I quickly realized that there was some sort of mix up and the woman had called my number to check if someone was waiting — clearly they had forgotten to put my order in. Mistakes happen, I guess. You would think that my order would now be prioritized. Another five orders came out before I asked the server what was taking so long. She gave a lame excuse that they didn’t have lamb marinated(why is it on the menu, then?) — clearly from my previous observation it was a lie. No apology until I — giving them the benefit of the doubt — asked why they didn’t tell me it would take so long when I ordered… just a mumbled I’m sorry and another staff member franticly bringing my order out… as they called number #32. My entire time in the restaurant, on what was supposed to be me grabbing a quick lunch, was 30 minutes. And after all that, the sauces that typically come with the meal weren’t in the bag. The meat was tasty, though… from being marinated overnight. So much for the excuse of not having marinated lamb.

I love this place. The kebabs rolls and plates are average price, but it’s yummy. The food is pretty quick, and the environment is fine — I mean, it’s not beautiful or anything, but it’s fine. It’s a good lunch with colleagues kind of spot more than a date spot — if you get what I mean. Expect to pay about $ 12 – 15 per person for a very filling meal(or even 2 small meals!). Solid option for people who aren’t able to make it to the suburbs for better Afghan cuisine.

This is a great place for an eat-in dinner. It’s slightly on the more expensive side than fast food but cheaper than restaurants. The quality of the food is phenomenal and is more delicious than most restaurants. The Chicken Kabob platter is fantastic!

No impressed at all with the food taste, but it is not that bad. I had a take out of kabobs with salad and bread. The bad rating is for the Huge Bug that was in my salad… and I mean huge!!!

Let me disclose I am from the States, specifically Philadelphia and Doner kebab places like this and the ones in Europe are non-existing so just getting one of these and satisfying my fix warrants this place 5 stars. It may not be the«best» kebab out there but it was actually one of the tastiest, affordable, quickly prepared meals that I had in Toronto. A kebab, potatoes and a can of soda for under $ 9.

Not good at all. I wonder why I revisited this place, I won’t in the future. First of all, they are very slow, I waited more than 15 mins for my tikka kabob. Secondly, they forgot to put SAUCE in my meal. My tikka kabob cost 13.5 dollar, which is not cheap at all, and they forgot my fxxking SAUCE! Last but not least, their spoons and forks are quite dirty and disgusting.

Bad service Messed up my order Arrogant owner and management Forks were dirty and had black stuff all over it. When I said he forks were dirty they just said oh it’s smoke from the grill don’t worry. Got a take out order and double checked with them before I left. I get home and low and behold the order is wrong. I called them and they didn’t even care they were so arrogant. Will boycott this place for sure

Normally I really like the food here but after today Im done eating it for good. The asian lady that is in charge of serving the dishes is a wreck and not only took about 15 minutes to prepare my to go, but also didn’t even check to make sure it was accurate resulting in me getting back to my desk only to realize I had no rice. at $ 13 a pop, the least you can do is make sure that 1. when someone orders a chicken kabob you actually put one on the grill(yes, I saw you do this AFTER you checked my ticket as you noticed I had been waiting a while) 2. If someone spent the extra, near $ 4 for rice, make sure its in the container. 3. when someone asks if both sauces are in the bag, don’t lie and say they are only for me to point out they aren’t. I’m sure my business wont be missed as this place is always busy but make sure to check your orders.

Pamier Kabob is a restaurant chain that serves Afghani food much like it’s more famous competitor Bamiyan Kabob. I have a love for Afghani food because it’s healthy, hearty and it’s reasonably priced for the food you’re receiving. I was in the downtown core and i wanted to see if Pamier Kabob was as good as Bamiyan Kabob or Naan and Kabob. I ordered the Chicken Breast Kabob with rice($ 10.75 plus tax). The meal consisted of one grilled skewer of marinated boneless pieces of chicken breast with basmati rice, tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, shredded lettuce, coleslaw and a naan bread. The dish was really good, the salad was crisp and fresh, the basmati rice was perfectly cooked, moist but not too moist and lightly seasoned. The chicken breast kabob was perfect, juicy, flavourful, perfectly seasoned and tender. The naan bread was fresh, lightly toasted and soft. The only thing I don’t care much for was the coleslaw which was essentially just shredded cabbage without any dressing. If you like Afghani food and you’re in the downtown core, I definitely recommend Pamier Kabob, the food is healthy, delicious, reasonably priced in comparison to it’s competitors. The place also has ample seating and is very clean.

When your regular Afghani take-out goes from $ 12 to $ 16 to $ 18 in less than a year, its time to find another take-out. This isn’t fine dining, prices should reflect that. This place gets a lot of customers from the nearby offices and it looks like they got greedy. They’ve lost my business.

Urf, gotta update this one. From my very popular and wildly successful previous review, you’ll know that one of the biggest draws to this place was the price. Well, they raised the price. By $ 2. That’s a 33% increase. Dal Sabzi w rice is now gonna be over $ 10. I don’t know, the food’s pretty good, but in the(deliciousness * amount of food) /cost equation, it’s just not looking as hot anymore.

I don’t normally write Unilocal reviews. In fact, I had to download the app just to post this one. However, I must say, upon entering this place, I was stunned with the décor and cleanliness. For a takeout place, it’s extremely well put together. They have plenty of vegetarian options, and the portions are very generous. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. I’ve never tried Afghani food before, but this place definitely turned me in to a fan. Highly recommend.

If you have a big appetite with a love for kebobs, then this place is for you. Although a fast food style/cafeteria type restaurant, the food(and the portions) are great! Prices are also very reasonable for what you get. Meals automatically come with a small side salad and a large piece of Afghani flat bread. For an extra $ 2 you can add rice to your dish. Not recommended if you’re on lunch and have a busy work schedule afterwards, as you’ll want to take a big nap after this huge meal. Service is fast, efficient, and friendly for the most part. If you’re new to Afghani food, and have questions about the dishes, it’s best to go for after the lunch crowd, or for dinner. They have a wide selection of kebobs, with different ways of prepared meats(lamb, beef, and chicken).

Came here with a group of friends tonight for a casual dinner based on a recommendation. The restaurant was extremely clean and well kept, which is a plus for any restaurant. One thing I did not like was the fact that they did not have any pictures associated with any of their menu items on the wall. Especially for a non-frequent afgan/kabob foodie like myself, I wasn’t able to easily decide on what I wanted. I ended having the tikka chaplee(sp?) kabob with rice. The portion was huge and was worth the 13 $. Although the meat was a little dry, the meal itself was decent.

This restaurant is great if you want a quick lunch. The food is great, filling and nutritious. At this restaurant you order at the front, wait for your number to be called and then pick up your entrée. If you work in the area I highly recommend it. The portions are also huge. You might have enough left over for dinner or the following days lunch. You should definitely check burnout if you are looking for a balanced and healthy meal.

2.5 Points for the clean front of house. I was expecting it to be a little seedy, but the décor was bright and inviting. Now, to be fair, I’ve never had Afghani food before. So perhaps I’m not a fan of Afghani food in general– but I was unimpressed. The menu on the wall is a bit confusing and doesn’t offer any description of what each dish is. Thankfully, they have a printed menu to help you out a bit. My boyfriend ordered the Vaziri Lamb and really liked that lamb chop kebabs, and was less enchanted with the ground lamb. I ordered the Chaplee Kabob, because it was the spiciest thing on the menu and with two chili peppers beside it, I was in. But when our food was ready, all of it kind of looked like dog food. Honestly? Zero points for presentation. Every kebab that came out of the kitchen was brown. Brown, brown, brown. My Chaplee Kabob was two brown patties with a salad and rice. No sauces to accompany the meats, except for the watery, bruschetta like red sauce that they told me was ‘hot sauce’ when I asked for some. The white sauce tasted like bottled ranch dressing. I think the dressing on the salad was the same thing. So definite loss of points for not making their own sauces, or if those sauces were homemade– points off for tasting like bottled sauces and/or just bland. I should say that while the Afghani Naan was hot– it was quite delicious, but it quickly cooled into a miniature surfboard with sesame seeds. The spices in the meat were nice, but nothing spectacular – definitely tasted better than dog food, but not especially tender of mouthwatering. I just wasn’t too impressed with this lunch – especially with the great reviews it receives from Unilocalers whom I know and trust. Like I said– maybe it’s just not my thing. I normally love new types of food because there are so few that I haven’t tried. But I have to say that I was very let down by this experience. Probably would not go back.

First tried a bit of this place’s food from its Brampton location, and when I saw the same place downtown I had to get some because the food was so good before. This location did not disappoint and is comparable from a food perspective. For group of 4, the mixed chicken kebab dinner is plenty! for $ 30.95 you get tandoori chicken, half roast chicken, chicken korma and chicken breast kebab. This also includes two naan, rice and salad. For an extra $ 2 the rice can be upgraded with almonds and raisins. Let me tell you, the extra cost is so worth it as the raisins and almonds are so delicious! I’d really like to know how they get the chicken breast so tender cause I cannot reproduce it at home. My favorite is the tandoori chicken and then the chicken kebab! The Afghani Naan is not as soft as Indian naan, but it’s still got some chewy texture. This location is really for walkers. Driving here is a bit difficult cause there is no stopping in front. Walking in there aren’t many people and the staff didn’t appear to be doing much as my order was all ready by the time I got there. The staff could do with a bit more pleasantries, but perhaps they were bored? in hope they get more business cause the food is delicious and dinner for 4 at $ 37 tax included is a steal!

This place is always very quiet in the evenings. Every single time I’ve walked by, there are very few(if any) people inside. We decided to go by the Unilocal reviews and take a chance. We ordered the mixed kebab dinner for two. It was really good! There was a whole container of rice(tasty), one container of salad(iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, coleslaw, and dressing), and a third container of 4 types of kebabs. All the meats were seasoned differently giving each a unique flavour. They were also very tender and cooked to order. The meal for two was very generous. Three people could eat and be full. I’m quite surprised this place isn’t busier at night for dinner. Given the quality, quantity, and taste of the food, it’s a great place! BTW: Service was friendly and very informative.
