Afghani Kabob Express - Ottawa

After a long day at work I find myself starving! I need something healthy.. I say to myself, but where do I get something healthy at 10:15pm <br/ <br/ so, like most of you I pull out my iPhone and use urbanspoon and start going through the list of places that have healthy food.. All closed. Then I see this place and its a bit of a trek from me, but again I'm starving so why not?! <br/ <br/ They answer and after a brief explanation of my hunger he says we're closed, but give me 10 min and I'll put something together for you.. <br/ <br/ I get there in 10 min, they unlock the door and let me in.. Very pleasant and greeting people by the way.. <br/ <br/ They put together a trio with 3 meats, potatoes, salad, rice, bread and probably the tastiest hot sauce I've ever had all for 20$ <br/ <br/ I get home and eat all of it and before I can digest, I'm writing you my experience with this place.. Not only because they opened for me, but because it was truly unbelievable food! <br/ <br/ Eat here, you won't regret doing so.. Best middle eastern food in Ottawa I've ever had.

Tasty and good quality. I've been several times and always enjoyed the food here. My favourite is the tandoori kebab. Service is attentive and relatively fast, depending on when you go.

Don't pass it off as yet another shawarma joint. On the outset, it could be confused as yet another shawarma place in Ottawa. It is not. Their chicken shami is light and delicious. The ingredients are fresh. The dumplings (mantoon) are quite nice. The potatoes I had were very good. Good menu. Care is applied to both quality and presentation. The staff are courteous.

Great New Addition to Centretown. Tried this restaurant for the first time this week and was more than pleasantly surprised. <br/ <br/ Don't be fooled thinking this is another one of Centretown's numerous shawarma joints it's not. The food is excellent, the ingredients are high quality, and there is great attention put into the food. <br/ <br/ The prices are reasonable a sandwich runs under $10 and most of the platters are between $10 13. For what you're getting, this is excellent value. I had a platter that included two kabobs, rice, and a salad, and all were delicious. Even the rice was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The kabobs were tender, pleasantly spiced, and accompanied with a nice sauce that tasted like it was made with fresh ingredients. All around a great meal. <br/ <br/ If this place can continue to maintain the high quality of the foods that they're serving, this will undoubtedly be a Centretown hit. To the owners: keep doing what you're doing. The high quality of your food is what will keep people coming back. I would recommend this restaurant and will certainly be going back.

This restaurant is truly exceptional, being the only one of its kind in Montreal and Ottawa. I traveled all the way from Montreal to Ottawa specifically for this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed my experience so much that I waited until 9:30 pm to have dinner before heading back to Montreal. I am a food enthusiast, and if the food tastes and looks good, I will keep coming back, regardless of the price. Highly recommend!
