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.

    I love this restaurant but was a bit disappointed with food at this visit. I had so been looking forward to the Spice Chicken with Potatoes and Asparagus but food was served cold and asparagus was charred (crispy) ~ not what I’ve been used to in the past. This is one of my favourite restaurants in fall / winter as the food is comforting and delicious. I’ll go back but next time would send food back to give them a chance to correct. It was so crowded that it felt like it would be forever to get food again last night.

    We decided to have the Afghan feast for 4. It was amazing. I could eat boulani and those beef dumplings every day. The lamb shank was super tender and perfectly spiced. Everything else was so good. We will be back.

    The service was great. Staff were kind, informative, efficient. Food was delicious- and so nicely presented. Decor is warm and inviting. It's a large space, so the sound is a bit echoey, so could put some fabric on the walls or ceiling to reduce the echo. All round great venue.

    This was my first time dining at your restaurant. I was definitely impressed! A few things bothered me: the waitress got my drink wrong. When my drink came it was 3/4 ice ( I had ordered no ice). The glass was not clean. There was foreign matter in the water. The chicken kebab was excellent and the salad was great except for the roasted chick peas ( not a fan). The rice was very different and quite tasty. Both the salad and rice came home with me and I enjoyed them for lunch( again!)

    We had a lovely evening at Afghan Kitchen. Our service was wonderful and the owner gave us gf options and answered our questions about what spices we were tasting. We sat in the back room on comfy cushions at the lower tables and it was so relaxed and had an authentic atmosphere . I highly recommended this restaurant as there is nothing like it in South Surrey and the food and service were excellent.

    Food was superb, bursting with flavour and presentation was very appealing. The Persian rosewater ice cream with the pistachio cream layer overtop was one of the finest desserts I've ever tasted, and the Turkish coffee was amazing.

    We had reserved a table and got one very close to the bar where I was not comfortable sitting. When asked to be moved they said all other tables are reserved. The food had no taste this time and tasted blah. My most favourite appetizer the Cole eggplant dish has been drastically reduced in portion and was a shame on a plate. Ordered a big platter for 139$ and couldn’t eat anything because the meats were not properly cooked and I was not allowed to complain by my family as it was my bday. Very disappointed by this visited and might not return back. I was the one bringing my family and friends to this restaurant but the food and service was not up to par for a 200$ plus meal.

    I love to see all the different ethnic backgrounds sitting at the tables, fantastic! We were there for my 63rd birthday with my 92 year old mom and because we were sitting close to the door, it was chilly. We asked to be moved and they promptly had another table ready. I love this restaurant, I highly recommend it.

    Really slow meal. Took too long even though we were the first to be seated. Not enough staff to serve the many customers. Some items supposed to be hot were only warm or cold. Overcharged on an item, but that was corrected when identified. Still not good. Accessible restroom was not very accessible with 3 chairs in storage too close to the toilet. Restrooms not maintained clean enough during heavy traffic. Overall was not a good value or experience.

    First time visiting and having Afghan food. Very good, we had the Afghan nuggets for appetizer and Afghan chicken (also a happy hour special) and also the Lamb Shank. The flavours of the spices were excellent. Mum's recipe dessert very nice. The service was excellent. We will return to try other dishes.

    Went for my birthday dinner last night. Food was delicious although the new blue plates have too many ridges and make it hard to eat certain things on your plate or to even cut your food. The female server we had was not very good. She took our orders and then disappeared for like 20-30 mins. Our food was brought by other servers. When we asked for refills she was gone another 15 minutes. When I was trying to ask for a box to pack up my food she would not even look in my direction and then disappeared again. Another server had to step in and ask me if I would like a box. I would recommend she needs some better training on the overall guest experience. You want to feel like your somewhat special when you specifically put celebrating a birthday on your reservation booking and our table felt like we were the last thing on her mind.
