Afghan Kitchen is the manifestation of a young boy’s dream. He roamed the streets of Kabul in his sandals and saw how hard his family worked to sustain themselves. In the times of war, they moved to different neighbouring countries until they finally came to Canada.

Afghan Kitchen presents you the vision of the young boy’s very own restaurant since he was six years old. Every corner of Afghan Kitchen is thoughtfully curated. Every dish uses mum’s recipe.

This is a family-owned and -run business that reflects the best of Afghan roots, traditions, and values. Afghan Kitchen is the taste of home.

    We have had many lovely meals in the Afghan Kitchen and that was the reason for our return. The staff are quietly attentive, efficient, helpful and friendly. We would not hesitate to give our highest recommendations to our friends and family to experience a wonderful Afghan meal. A wonderful cultural experience.

    We've eaten at the Afghan Kitchen South Surrey on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed excellent service and the wonderful food. The service on this occasion can best be described as indifferent. They were reasonably busy so that might have been one of the reasons. At one point I thought that we had some how annoyed the server. Anyways, based on past history, I suspect this evening was an anomaly.

    Great food and service for our family celebration of a birthday. Our server was very according to our dietary needs, he provided a pencil and paper for our 7 year ild granddaughter to write on and to top it off he gave myhusband, the birthday boy a complimentary dessert. Our food was wonderful and live the ambience for our family get together

    I would definitely put this on your bucket list! The food, the service, the atmosphere were outstanding!! Whole bunch of different dishes were tried and every single one put a smile on everyone's face. I would definitely recommend the ice cream with the dessert.. absolutely unbelievable. This has now turned into our new fave when people come into town, will be driving all the way from Abbotsford.

    Love this local favourite!!! We booked on a Wednesday evening and it was packed with people. They offer all wines at 50% off on Wednesdays, so instead of their usual inventive and delicious cocktails, we chose a very nice wine! We love the atmosphere here and the service is always great. They've improved on their presentation of food since we were there last time - the dishes look very pretty and still generous portions and the same great taste!!! This time we chose simple dinners, and enjoyed their orange hummus with homemade Afghan bread, chicken quorma and their lamb kebab - and enjoyed the delicious afghan rice again tonight at home (I took leftovers home!). This place is a winner every time we go here!

    This was our 3rd visit to Afghan Kitchen, and I was so happy to bring along my friend, who is an avid foodie and food journalist. We were all enthralled with the platter for 4 that we chose - each item was so unique and flavourful. The service and ambiance is perfect. This remains my favourite resto in South Surrey :)

    Incredible meal (lamb shoulder, lamb shank, chicken kebab and Afghan nuggets and crinkle fries)! The portions were huge, so we get to enjoy again tomorrow. The pistachio premium cocktail is soooo good (not its official name, but first on the drink menu). We were so happy that we got to sit at the low tables - made it a fun experience. We finished with Mum's cake. Already talking about what we'll order on our next visit! Our kids (11&14) are huge fans. Thank you Afghan Kitchen!

    Never tried Afghan cuisine before. After trying out their food, it is not totally new. I've had similar spice and taste before. I really liked their orange hummus and eggplant dips. There was a beet salad with sesame crakers, candied pistachio, dill in yogurt dressing that was also very tasty. There was a bit on "tang" in the yogurt that works well with the sweetness of the beets. Had their lamb shank and it did not fail, it was very tender and that sauce it was cooked in was delicious. I would go there for that dish! We also ordered a couple of BBQed meats, lamb and minced beef. Preferred the minced beef, it had a spicy condiment that went with it and it was perfect. I found the lamb a bit well done, I prefer it on the medium rare. I was pleasantly surprised that the meats came with rice. We tried their rose water ice cream and Mama's secret, both were excellent. Had a wonderful dining experience. Thank you.
