Reviews of Chopan Kabob Restaurant (Restaurant)

Laura T

Absolutely delicious Afghani kababs ! The beef Kanab and chicken kababs and the eggplant dish were all delicious. We did take out and the quantity of food was also good its a great value for money as well. Their 11.99 kabab plate comes with 3 kababs and rice and naan and salad. Thats a delicious and very filling meal. Highly recommended to try it out. Will tey and post pics in a future visit of the food.

Food tastes good???? #ChickenBiryani

Just had the mantoo. Delicious. My new favourite appetizer. Great service. Staff is very friendly.

Sarah Gardiner

The owners/staff of this restaurant are really beautiful people. I enjoy the food here because it tastes really good but I enjoy it even more because of the owner's hospitality, humbleness, and soft spoken nature. I have been eating here since 2013 and they've made significant improvements over the years. I've never had a bad experience eating here.

Behnam Reyhani

Insanely good food. I recommend the signature dish, the Chopan Kabob. They are perfectly seasoned lamb chops. Never had lamb that good in my life!

Vyankatesh Mhavatkar

Food tasted alright at most. Portions are not even close to the value. The portion of lamb used to be 4 pieces and I only got 3 burnt pieces. Tasted like charcoal and rice didn't even fill the tiny container they send it in. Used to love it but not anymore.

Sean Carvalho

Their Kebabs are really good, very flavorful. But biriyani is nothing special. Portions are okay and it is well priced. I'd like to come back again but definitely not a place for the students.

dave martin

Good food, nice and spicy! Salad wasn't the best, but that's not what we came for! Nice atmosphere & very friendly staff.

Brett Vandermey

This is my spot! If I wanna have a great time with friends or family, and enjoy delicious food at an excellent price, then it's Chopan without a doubt!

Sharjeel A. Zadah (SAZ)

It's our favourite restaurant for takeout or eat in. (pre pandemic) The food is always good and the service is awesome.

Mike Streicher

Great kabab, great folks. 10/10 will order again.

Ali Mehdi

The food was amazing, very reasonably priced as well. Just slow service, we called ahead of time but still ended up waiting very long

Sunny Birdie

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I were looking to try something different and came across their menu. We got three separate dishes and an appetizer and each dish was amazing. We will definitely order from here again.

Mould on firni. Disgusting.!! It was my favourite Afghan restaurant in kitchener but now i would hesitate.

Merab Mushfiq

I love chopan kabob!! It’s my favourite place in Kitchener. I love the lamb biryani and mantoo. Everything is always fresh and flavourful. Service is friendly and helpful and the prices are beyond fair! No complaints from me :)

Bailey McCulley

The staff are super friendly and remembered us on our second visit! The food is fairly priced and absolutely delicious with a good portion size. Great service and takeout is packed well. A hidden treasure in Kitchener!

Shams AbuBakr

Nice restaurant Afghan Cuisine very nice menu food was good too . few suggestions which would improve the experience more the interior of the restaurant doesn't have much items to absorb the noise so I feel like it's more echo or a little noisy and when you enter the restaurant you get smell of the food which is obvious in the restaurants but seems like it's a little more so they can work on that side to bring in some exhaust . for the food the Tandoori has a little more red color in it. The Taste was good the portion was alright it's not too much but it was fine the service was good so I like this place and I would recommend it. they offer halal food which is why I was there

Vijay Ganesh

We catered our business meeting using this restaurant. The customer service has been amazing! Highly recommend.

Sara

Friendly staff, first time going had a helpful suggestion on my dish selection. Food was very tasteful. Would go again.

Daniel Soliven

Very awesome food and friendly management

Yang Lu

My favourite butter chicken in town. They recently renovated the place and looks great! Their curries and nan bread are excellent!

Sara Baig

Very good for what they offer in KWC area. Impressed with customer service and GREAT baklava.and tandoori chicken! Loved it.

Ayden Elworthy

I ordered a butter chicken meal from here. Though i feel the portion size of the butter chicken was small and the rice portion huge, i am so impressed by the taste of the rice and butter chicken i will primarily be ordering my Indian dishes from here.

Sahil Joshi

This place is da bomb!!! My most favourite restaurant. It is a family run business with mom and dad doing all the authentic cooking. All 4 adult children help out in carying capacities. They are lovely people! And the food is amazing! Large portions and beautifully spiced. I recommend take out over dining in as the atmosphere is not cozy or comfortable.....but at home with a glass of wine it is amazing......

Brett Cowen

I’m fortunate to be nearby Chopan Kebab, but I am unfortunate that it’s always so tempting! Maybe if I had more self control or a further distance to travel I could finally save some money to afford a yacht, but instead, I have Chopan Kebab. First, and most importantly, the food is fantastic. Flavours are complex and aromatic, sauces are creamy and rich, meat is tender. You can tell at first taste that someone put time and attention into crafting the recipe and executing it to be as best as it can be. From the butter chicken to the goat Karahi, lamb korma, everything is delicious. The na’an is crispy the type of thing I would wrestle an angry bear for, but fortunately I don't need to do that. Some reviewers knock the minimalist decor but I happen to like it. Walking in you feel as if you entered a friends home, the place is lively with voices swirling, an ebb and flow of conversations like being the last to arrive at a party or family dinner. It’s not disruptive, it’s just alive. Seating is comfortable enough, but I’m here to eat not lounge, and I don’t much care what the table looks like when my meal covers it due to generous portions. Let’s face it, covid has made things tough for a lot of people but especially the independent and small businesses. Chopan Kebab is one of those gems and we should treasure it and the staff that make it what it is.

dariusz grabka

Kabob's were too small, not worth the price.

Hemal Falak

One of my favourite restaurants in the city. Phenomenal food and service. Shop local!

Shahzad Ahsan

Best Afghan food (probably best overall as well) that I've had in long long time.

Dan Scott

This is an amazing place.Great food, reasonable price. The place very efficiently, providing prompt service and responding to all our needs.

Ramsha Qureshi

One of my favorite place to dine in or take out. If you like Afghan and Indian dish then this is the right stop to make. Affordable and delicious! As it's made fresh therefore requires some time to get the food ready. To me that's a perfect time to chat with friends and families. :)

KennyD

I've only had delivery from here, but food is delicious and I've never had an issue with delays or anything. Love the curries (I'm a cilantro lover and could really taste it in the masala), and recently tried one of their wraps for the first time and that tasted great, too. I was very happy to see them on Skip the Dishes!

Victoria Forsyth

kept coming back to this place, the foods are superb. tasty and so delicious

Max Wagman

This is an amazing place.Amazing food. Service is impeccable. Prices are really good. Portions are good too. Would definitely recommend you try this place.

Abdullahi

Amazing food. Service is impeccable. Prices are really good. Portions are good too. Would definitely recommend you try this place. Some of the best authentic food in town.

Qadir Ahmadi

Had grilled chicken and tandoori chicken plate. We loved it the first time and already visited twice in a week. The restaurant was clean. The person at the register was very polite and served with a smile. I have tried baklava in many places but this was hands down, one of the most yum baklavas I've had. Thank you!

Dorothy Jones

Amazing food, the eggplant was excellent! I'll be back soon!

Faiyad Nafis

Simply delicious! I highly recommend it!

Omar Qureshi

This used to be one of my favourite restaurants in KW. The original owners sold the restaurant and now the place has gone downhill. The rice, chicken, shami kabob's, and even pakora's have all changed in taste. It's not even comparable to before. My family and I were all disappointed. If you were a fan of this restaurant prior to Nov 2021, you likely won't be anymore (the ownership has changed). Also, I ordered delivery directly from the restaurant website and when the food it wasn't hot at all (we had to warm it up). It also took almost 2 hours from the time I placed the order! I phoned the restaurant to let them know (as I've ordered food from here dozens of times over the last 2-3 yrs and never had that happen once). The person who picked up the phone apologized but didn't really offer any compensation. It's not like I was expecting anything

Saima Samuel

Amazing first time experience... thank you for making us feel special. See you soon! ????

ali karparvarfard

Whenever I am going to kitchnere then always stop there to eat kabab from them

Imran M. Ismail

Decent food in general. Servings were a bit too small . My wife's Chappali Kebobs were undercooked. Was super busy.

Zunair M. Khan

Delicious Afghani cuisine. This store has improved so much after the new ownership. I was hesitant to try it but I took my friend’s recommendation to give it another try snd it was totally worth it!

Cuong Lieu

A wonderful friendly family run business. We ordered the chicken breast and beef tikka combo plate, the meat was flavourful and tender. Have to mention the delicious fluffy rice.

Trevor Lennox

My husband and I ordered dinner last night and it was so delicious we ordered from here again this evening and it did not disappoint. We have had the butter chicken twice. It was silky and smooth but also full of all the right flavours. The tandoori chicken kabobs are smokey and charred perfectly again with a rich flavour profile. We also had the beef masala which was tender with a bit of heat. Highly recommended and will be back again and again and again. :)

Alex Kastner

Wanted to check out the menu here as we are planning on using them for an event that will be catered. Not impressed when we first walked in as it is very plain. However, there were several tables filled with diners. The food was exceptionally good!! Staff was very accommodating and helpful!!

Sarah Salmond

I ordered Chicken Breast and Shami & Chopan Kabob. Chopan Kabob is worth 3.5 stars because lamb chops had fat and bone much more than meat!! BTW, Chicken Breast and Shami tasted wonderful and was 4.5 stars in my opinion (it could be 5 if chicken was more juicy).

Amina Mert

I first time got from Chopan kabob, and I love it! Meat , chicken soft delouse. thank you guys!

Pranabesh Das (Pranav)

Good food, excellent service!

Goutham Peepala

My husband and I love it here. They recently renovated and it has a very modern look (though we loved it before either way). We highly recommend their vegetarian dishes and you should treat yourself to a chai and house made baklava afterwards :)

Caitlin Jenkins

I couldn't complain about anything here. Great food and staff. Everyone I bring here, including myself, expected dry meat from past experiences at other similar restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised by how wrong we are. I love the chicken tandoori and hope to someday try the lamb.

Malak Mokaddem

I want to thank you from chopan kabab staff, they have an excellent customer service and very tasty and fresh foods.

manahil javed

The eggplant dish is easily the best thing on the menu. I know, I know, you recoil at the thought of eggplant but this dish is so full of savoury flavour you will be astonished. Seriously, get the eggplant. The staff are warm, welcoming and helpful. The prices are fabulous considering the quality of food.

Ahmed Asghar

Incredible! Delicious food, extremely friendly, unbelievable value.

Mark Cutti

Always Waiting longer than it usually should take, for the amount of staff available it shouldn't take more than an hour to make one meal.

Michelle Goveas

Really delicious food. Have had and enjoyed the beef curry, kabli rice, mango Lassi and chapli kebab. The lamb biryani and butter chicken was okay. Did not particularly like the firni. One thing I would say is that the prices are a bit higher than what I'm used to in the GTA.

Sorin Badea

An absolute hidden gem in Kitchener. First time here tonight. My wife and I couldn't be more impressed. Decor is simple and chairs a little tight; but the food! OMG good! Try the goat Biryani. You'll name your children after me! Service is wonderful too. We'll be back very soon...maybe later tonight!

Noelle Bisch

Amazing food my favorite place to eat in the KW area I dont know any place that serves such authentic delicious food that is constantly amazing never disappointing I wish I could give them more then 5 stars

Sohaib Qureshi

Love the Bolani, lamp chop skewer and beef chaplee patti. The wait time can be a bit long, and real long when they have lots of customer.

Les Hirst

This is one of our go-to places in town for the last five years and we're always satisfied. It's a family operation, which is one of the reasons for the notable consistency of excellent food and service. My personal favourites are the chicken tandoori, the eggplant curry, the pakora, the mantoo, ... actually everything. :) The rice is exceptional. Can't say enough about Chopan Kabob. It's all takeout and delivery right now, which is our preference. For eat-in in regular times the restaurant is clean, spacious and well lit, with simple decor. More family eating than special date night.

Yasamin

Take out

Sanjay Patel

Good food and friendly stuff.

Askar Ali Khan

Had great food and service dine in for lunch last year. Ordered through app for delivery recently, very impressed that each entree came with its own large rice and naan plus salad. Good portions of delicious curries.Highly recommend.

Mehrdad Khezrian

Amazing. Our go-to is Butter Chicken and Sag Paneer with garlic naan.

Lauren Brown

HORRIBLE. Thought I would try new place. The curry was burnt tasted like bottom of the pot.(awful) the Naan was burnt to. How do you expect to make new customers like this.

Coleman Northwood

old stale food and missed items in order

yukti makalikal

Bad customer service as we were travelling from Toronto and the guys didn't had courtesy to even get out of their chair and take the order let aside the fact that they help us with Menu !

Saman Lagzi

The beef Shami kebab was juicy, flavourful and cooked to perfection! The rice, salad and naan that were included were also very good, especially with the sauces provided. Super friendly staff, fair prices and great food!

Luckdoggz

The portion was small very small 15 dollars for this container on the right, tandoori express and most other restaurants give the container on the left. I put a hand in for scaling purposes.. You be the judge is that size worth 15 dollars?

Sakshi Khanna Hari

Family owned and operated- amazing food, all hands on deck!! It was so refreshing to see kids of the owners working all hands on in the kitchen/ front of house. Thanks Badder the food was great!!!

patrick leduc

Really great a couple times, but recently they have been forgetting items, not hot food, bringing me the wrong things, you name it. Also the owner was not wearing a mask lmao. So very disappointing lately

Christopher Donaldson

It is a vary nice place. We liked our meal. Our meal was full of freshly cooked and well marinated meat. We appreciate your hospitality.

Basalat Siddique

Food is Delicious, fresh and authentic. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant owners are gentlemen. I would highly recommend if someone want to have Afghani, Pakistani, Indian food.

Jestin Kuriakose

Went with a friend and my son. All our food was delicious. Very much enjoyed our meal.

Ertürk Diriksoy

We tried different dishes from this place. Chargrilled chickens and Karahi mostly. They were all great indeed. The ownership of the place changed but it still tastes very good.

Dave Klassen

The food was very tasty and fresh, however the price seemed a bit high for the variety/portions we received. I would go back again but I will order more strategically since they give a LOT of rice and not as much meat and salad. The tandoori chicken was out of this world good and the curry chicken was perfectly spicy!

Jordan Patterson

Food: It's an Afghan restaurant. The meals were tasty, but the portions were not huge. Price: average toward low range (a dish is $10-15) Environment: Not super fancy, but clean and neat. Staff: fairly fast service, friendly staff.

George G Canada

Good food. Tasty as well. Their spicy chutney is good. Service is good as well.

George B

This family owned restaurant serves up delicious, healthy and affordable food. Their serving portions are good for the money. The food is always fresh and made according to your preference. The food is made fresh once ordered. They are careful with instructions and make sure you are pleased with your order. My experience has always been exceptional and the food has always left me wanting more.

Barber & Craft

Always too-notch quality. A family run and operated business, showcasing everything that it means to be a community cornerstone. I upgrade my rice to the excellent Biryani rice and add garlic to the fresh, in-house naan bread. Wash it all down with a fresh Mango Lassi Never disappoints

Sharanya R

Great food. Love the gravies. A must visit for people who have great taste for great flavours. A little greasy at time but i loved it. Meat is perfectly cooked. Just the girl who was at the reception seemed very grumpy and non-caring. We had to wait for our turn for so long. Poor service but great food.

Octavian Ciubotariu

Fantastic curries! The food here is soo delightful. The service was super quick and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Enjoy!!!

Shauna Richter

This is a post for Red's Tandoori located in Chopin Kabob. Wonderful food!! Friendly and reliable service! Check out Red's for fantastic tandoori chicken!

Nooran Mazen

Simply the best, authentic Afghani food you’ll have. The staff is also so polite. Their food is so genuinely good they don’t need any marketing tool. I drool every time I think about their tandoori chicken with biryani rice.

Emily Lucke

OMG!! This place is amazing....the food, service was great. I will definitely go back.

farzana huseni

We were in Kitchener for a drive test & it was around lunch time.. a quick google search & this place was highly recommended! A basic clean place serving Afghani & Indian food.. We placed an order for the Beef kebabs with rice & salad.. We also order a chicken shawarma.. Both were delicious & authentic Afghan food..Great customer service. Food is flavorful, well presented, and good quality. I highly recommend this place if you are around that area!!

Fani H

Food is beyond words incredible. Service was great and the prices were decent.

Ben S

I really enjoyed the food. I am from Pakistan so I loved the familiar taste. The servers were really nice and helped in the food selection. The prices are reasonable. I am definitely come back to this place again.

Sadat Anwar

Definitely eat here! The food was very fresh and flavorful. I had the eggplant masala with naan, rice and salad. It was perfectly spiced and the naan was exceptional! The service was quick and courteous. Nice, bright, modern decor. The price was very reasonable. Best warm, comfort food on this rainy day or any day! I will definitely return!

Thomas Blake

The beef shami kabob skewer was great! Nice bolani though the dough was too thin in my opinion. This place is on the expansive side.

Faraz Shoukat

Ordered a mixed grill platter consisting of both chicken and beef skewers with rice and salad. Both the portion size and value for the price was excellent. Would definitely order takeout again

Ag Medic

Perfect meal, definitely try chicken here, it's wonderful.

Abeer Al Hariri

I ordered some food from there. Kebab was uncooked. Rice tasted bad. I don't recommend it at all. It is not like before. New owners don't know how to cook. Money wasting.

Harry KL

Just the tastiest place in town. Great tasting food. Good staff. Id eat here every day if I could.

Sarah S

I’m a fan of family run restaurants because I see the love they put in each of their dishes. Chopan was no different. Good value for money as well! Great job guys!

Sahand Kompani

Excellent food, best value.

Samantha Kristoferson

I eat here once a week. The service and food is excellent. Chopan is a refreshing reminder that family owned restaurants are still the best providers of authentic food vs todays garbage chain restaurants.

feysal hamzza

I order tandoori chicken with everything including salad except white sauce. She only give me Plain rice with chicken I did ask for hot sauce she told me it was in my bag when I took it home no hot sauce. I wasn't satisfied with my order .

Maleeha Abrar

Overall, food was amazing and delightful, the loss of stars is due to the very long and inconsistent wait time along with the high price.

Justin Orr

Today you guys have earned a regular customer. I cannot believe that I have been sleeping on this place that is so close to my house today I tried the beef Tikka skewers absolutely delicious some of the best I have had. Extremely friendly staff Quick Service absolutely nothing to complain about here. Keep up the great work guys. Prices are however high 2 skewers for $20 is little high. I would come much more often if the value made sense. Still great food tho.

Kristen

Delicious! Very high quality food. The pakoras were excellent.

Rukma Ramdenee

My boyfriend and I were browsing skip the dishes the other week for some indian food to satisfy our cravings. We stumbled upon Chopan kabob and are so glad we did! The food is amazing and so flavourful, their butter chicken is easily the best I've had. Huge portion sizes as well!

Paul Rak

Super friendly staff. Excellent tasting food. Always hot and served in adequate time. The interior dining space is a bit loud and 'echo-y'. Not at all warm or cozy. This does not affect the food quality but it does 'dull' the overall experience. I've tried most everything on the menu (or will soon!). I will return as often as I'm able. I even get the tarka daal (our favorite) for take out to serve over fried egg breakfast plate the next morning. They should do breakfasts!!!!

Hope Dream

So much flavour! I've been ordering once a week for years and they are always consitenent and the food is incredible

Arslan Khalid

Wow. The pumpkin dish here is among the top 5 Indian dishes I've ever had anywhere. When I'm eating it I never want it to end. It's a wonderful flavour explosion. There are other good dishes here too but pumpkin eclipses them all. The naan is good. Wish there was an option for getting a dish on its own without salad, naan and rice. We have leftover rice every time.

Ira Cee

Put it this way: if you ever get food from here and won't soon forget. You will keep coming back again and again! This family owned restaurant is one of the best, and their eggplant dish is the best we've had.

Harjot Grewal

Good clean food, great service,, small quantities and a little too pricey

Lindsay Hebert

This is an amazing place.One of my favorite place to dine in or take out. If you like Afghan and Indian dish then this is the right stop to make. Affordable and delicious!

S.A.M Maq

Love the flavor of the food! Service is great! The owners kids they are the server,so polite! Almost every Friday or Saturday,we go eat dinner here.Love the Lamb chops, seasoned well!

Yosef Kamel

It's no wonder that this is our favourite local spot for fresh, tasty Afghani food. The portions are generous, the food is always on point, flavours are vibrant. The service is fast, wonderfully polite and kind. They offer catering as well, and the catered experience was fantastic and reasonably priced. Would give more stars if I could.

Tania Duca

Great quality, speed, price, and atmosphere.

Salman Mustafa

Excellent Chicken Breast Kabob. Generous portions and reasonable prices. I live in the area and I always go 2 -3 times a week. Highly Recommend it.

Vignesh Muthuswamy

Quantity is too less for the price. It’s an expensive restaurant so you expect the quantity to be good enough.... apart from that taste is really good

Alex Kinsella

Got takeout today for the first time - amazing beef tikka and shami- definitely going back for more.

Breanndan Hoy

Very good

April McCall

It's a great place! Delicious selections and at a good price. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. It's a hidden gem if you're looking for tasty food. I highly recommend this place.

Emily M

Everything we ate was good! We had the beef tikka, chicken tandoori, rice, naan bread and baklava for dessert. We will be back.

Mahnaz Rabbani

Amazing dining experience as usual. The family who runs this restaurant are extremely nice and give great service. The food is excellent and delicious.

Khalid Zaffar

Best Kebab in town! I always go there with my family for lunch. Food quality is very good!

Pawanjeet S Arora

They provide white rice instead of the flavored rice that is usually served at the middle eastern restaurant. Also they just gave 1 white sauce and 1 sauce for 2 meals even after confirming that they had given enough sauces. The salad was so less in quantity and the naan was very dry.

Yonathan Katz Levanoni

NEW EDIT - I'm upgrading to 5 stars because every time I go to Chopan Kabob the food is consistently delicious. Love it. OLD - Went last night for the first time. Loved it! Really nice family-run resto. Go there for the food, not the atmo. The servers were super-helpful in selecting dishes, all of which were incredibly good, flavorful, as authentic as I can guess. Will go back again.

Pablo S

What an excellent meal. I never post reviews, but I was delighted at the service and quality of the food. Could not recommend enough.

Ersin Ertan

They know how to cook soft meats, rice was great too

Luis Z

Good food good people good treatment Mashallah.

Inner Lotus

Tasty food! Friendly staff and owner.

Nurul Zarai

This is an amazing place. It was my favorite Kabob place in Waterloo-Kitchener area, when I used to live there. You should try their Chopan kabob, it tastes amazing. It is also a family run business and their food feels and tastes like homemade!

Anum Z

Went for lunch and had the mantu and beef curry. Loved the mantu so much we got seconds. Bathrooms were also very clean.

Farhad S

I use to get food from Chopan Kabob and it was one the bests. Especially their Naan (bread) was one of the bests in KW. But tonight I order some foods for first time after change the ownership. In one word: """"GARBAGE"""" ! ** Rice: (-10) from 10 ! Tasteless. No salt! Looks like anything except rice! (Now writing this comment with a severe stomach pain) ** Beef Kabob: 1/10. Half cooked. For sure it was mixed with some suspicious ingredients !!! Chicken breast: 2/10: Half cooked. Outside burnt and inside pink! Half cooked ! Salad: 3/10. I think these guys even don't know how to make a simple salad! -------------- I'm sure these guys have no exprience of working in a restaurant at all !!!!

Svetlana Kurakina

Very delicious food and fresh meat. Fast service and nice staff! I highly recommend this place and love to go there again!

Arif Orya عارف اوریا

The food was delicious and the customer service was outstanding. Thank you so much for all you do for the community.

Are Huey

Wow! This place is wonderful. The food is so fresh and the service is so friendly. I recommend the mantoo, meat filled dumplings. They are to die for. The baklava was the best I have ever had, not overly sweet like some others I have had. The place was also very clean and spacious

Adnan Sweeney

Great tasting food. Phenomenal is the right word to describe the kebab, on par with the best Afghan food available anywhere in the GTA. Friendly, courteous and prompt service as well. The best halal option in Kitchener, in my opinion for dining in!

Sophie Newman

I placed an order for chicken curry masala. It was tiniest amount I have ever seen for $20. Seriously? It was not even full little bowel that they sent..Never ordering again...

Nawal Hussain

Chicken Briyani was bland with dry chicken pieces. Nothing really special. Would not recommend. A bit disappointed but Might try other items next time.

Yuri Rosa

Super delicious food, a nice variety of dishes on the menu including curries, biryani and grilled meats. The meat was really flavourful and side dishes also yummy. The service was also wonderful, our server was really friendly and helpful and made the meal very enjoyable. The seating is not very fancy but humble, clean and well lit, overall good ambiance. Can't wait to come back here and try some more food! We have tried many halal restaurants in KW and this made the top of our list, great place to go for family dinner.

Joanna Waligora

Food is hit and miss. Go for the kabuli palao, pumpkin curry, kabobs, etc. Skip the wraps (flavoured with ranch dip) and the chicken jalfrezi (no flavour at all).

Noora

Just had lunch here and wow. So so delicious! They were really friendly here as well. The location was easy to find, has a lot of parking spots (inside a plaza) and its a large and beautiful location. They were fairly quick preparing our food and it was extremely tasty. Not too spicy either. 4 meals (incl. Rice, salad, bread) came to a total of $55.

Helmi Ansari

Superb food with wonderful flavours. Excellent service - friendly and helpful. Ready on time for pickup. We'll be back!

Carole Plaine

One of my favourite restaurants. The food is delicious and reasonably-priced. Family-ran business and they are very friendly.

wigliff

Amazing food. Great and friendly service.

John Doe

The food was reasonably priced, the staff that assisted were friendly and very attentive to our needs and the food was satisfying and delicious!! Definititeiy a 5 star experience all around! Thank you, I will definitely be back! ????

Darshan Patel

The food wasn't up to mark, they had decent rice and averagely cooked meat. But overall not a great option, there are quite a few other options that are less costly and more worth for buck then this place. Thanks you responding, few of the pieces in Mutton chops were not properly cooked and had a chewy feel, the chicken breast kababs were good. But the rice served was kind of bland and not at all flavorful, it might be how you serve it but unless it is plain rice, we expect some flavor. Regards Goutham

Farhan Ullah

The foods taste absolutely wonderful. We specially enjoyed the tandoori chicken and shami kebab (Persian koobide)

Dave T

Been there three times and portions seems to get smaller and smaller each time. I ordered the lamb chops....very dissapointed... very thin layers especially for what you pay for. Wont be returning. Update: For your information, the meal was not shared with anyone. Also i am not asking for a free meal or a discount. I just felt being cheated. I have been to many and many afghan restaurant and i can tell you this is the worse one. Take care

Harman Chawla

This is definitely one of the best halal restaurant in the KW region. I’m a regular customer, been eating here for quite some time now. Their food is delicious and they have whole bunch of variety of food to choose from. Tried many dishes and every time I order something it delivers to its expectations. Definitely recommended.

Ayman- Veracity Motors

A bit pricey, but the quality and taste was excellent. We are planning to go tomorrow, if we got acceptance on ...

David Hopkins

We went today for the first time and ordered takeout Chicken Biryani, Chicken Breast & Beef Shami, and Baklava. All of it was delicious. The portion sizes were generous. The person who brought out our food was very friendly. We will absolutely go again!

Heather Bean

They have their own delivery platform--we've had delivery twice & it's been delicious both times, with plenty for lunch the next day. Will be in our regular rotation.

Aliya Azmat

Very tasty. Not greasy. Just like homemade cooking. Better than restaurant food.

Reza Razavian

Wow, our first time here... It's Afghan meets East Indian.... We have eaten everywhere and on every continent (except Australia)... Order the mantoo as an appetizer, an incredibly subtle dish belonging in a fine dining 5 star restaurant ...try the vegetarian fried eggplant dish totally an original dish from the border region between the 2 countries or any of kabobs which were juicy and flavourful.... The goat karachi spices were unique and so delicious. The restaurant itself is simple but the food is world class.

Ayad Kamal

Amazing food and the best in the area! Great service, great people, clean, healthy and delicious food. There's nothing more I can ask for. I have been coming here for 3 years now and me and my family are regular customers. Thank you to the owner and his family for always keeping us extremely happy.

Love this place! Lots of vegetarian options that actually taste amazing and feel filling/satisfying. It's my go-to take out place because of that - definitely give it a try, it's by far my favourite chana masala and pakora.

Petra Suffling

Chapli was soooo good! Naan was a little flat and some under cooked. Rice was delicious and staff is super friendly :)

Zahid Shahab

Very friendly staff and incredible food. New favorite !

Talya Smith

My friends and I have found a new favourite middle eastern restaurant. The food is fresh and reasonable. I LOVE the beef kabobs. The restaurant is basic but clean. It's a great place for a healthy lunch. The pitas are crispy and delightful.

Nathalia S. N.

THE best in Kitchener and Waterloo so far. Food quality, quantity, presentation, taste, and value are all top notch! Staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommended. Would definitely come back.

Sucheta Sikdar

Awesome place to take family to have fantastic food with lot of variety. Very friendly service.

Michael Vandermeer

The best Butter Chicken you will find anywhere in the area! The kebab's are also the best I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back.

Ali Rohaili

Delicious food, friendly staff, but the dining area feels more like a cafeteria than a restaurant...

L Noorr

My mom and I used to come here pretty often years ago when it first opened, and not only was the food delicious, but the family running the restaurant was impeccable. Like, not even joking, the absolute best customer service I’ve seen. Fast forward now - I order delivery from this place every now and then, and even just talking to the staff on the phone is an enjoyable experience. This is one of the few restaurants that has maintained their high value for years, and I’m so impressed and thankful!

Used to love this location. However won’t be ordering again after the last two experiences. The chicken was hard and chewy first time but I decided to order again this week. The bolani was almost burnt to the point of being inedible and the rice were chewy and stale tasting. Which is sad because their food has always been outstanding in the past.

mujtaba samimi

Very good food and casual atmosphere The only downside is that they serve too much rice with most dishes.

Wanderlust Digest

Incredible!! We grabbed 2 of the family packs with 6 different kabobs and mixed them all up to try all of their kabobs, and let me tell you, not a single one was disappointing. The best had to be the creamy chicken, wow, how is it so amazing?! Usually kabobs made of chunks of beef are usually hard or chewy, not these ones. Soft, tender, juicy, and delicious. Perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The customer service was just as good as the food with the food coming at exactly the time they stated and quick! If you're in the Waterloo area, this is a must try. Grab a family pack and head down to the park that's 5min away. You won't regret it!

Andrew Bye

Excellent meal. Service was a little hands off, but the food made up for it. For a spot in the back corner of a strip mall I was pleasantly surprised by how bright, well decorated and modern it was. Will come back.

Jen Lamont

Really enjoyed the food. The Kababs were just amazing perhaps one of the best one I had so far. Definitely will be back agian.

Nancy Gibson

Amazing amazing amazing restaurant!!! 11/10!!! You need to try this place if you haven’t so far.

Moe Bdeir

We really like this place. Great food and atmosphere. Food is great and service is amazing

Ray Adrian

If you go to Chopan Kabob, you should try their kabob! I ordered Tandoori Chicken & Chaplee, and it was one of the best kabob I've ever tasted. The tandoori chicken is salty and goes well with the basmati rice. The chaplee is not my favourite, but it gives more flavour to the dish. If you don't like this dish, my friends recommended to try Chicken Breast & Beef Shami instead. The beef shami looks so appetizing! I would definitely visit this place a lot if it's closer to campus :(

Bryan Hamilton

I am a big eater and try foods from every where as often as i can. I ordered the chicken masala and it was so delicious! Perfect size portion (i couldn’t finish it all, so i had some for later too!). The service was excellent, very friendly and the prices are reasonable as well. The restaurant is beautiful inside and VERY clean and spacious. I will be trying something else from this location in the future :).

Navaraj Sanjeeviraja

Quaint atmosphere, and excellent food. The tandoori chicken kabob is so flavourful and tender. It's a treat for the palate. The bolani is also fantastic, and they offer lunch specials as well. This place is an absolute gem for Afghani food.

Salman Minhas

Didn't try dining in but do pick up orders often ... can't comment on the curries as of yet but the grilled meats so far have been consistently delicious and succulent. The chicken tikka is amazing. Fair pricing. Fast and friendly service.

Dean Holbrough

The service is top notch. Enjoyed the flavours of all the dishes we had. Already planning another visit.

Michelle Brodrecht

Good price and tasty food. Service and delivery was not good. All items not available and deliver food in three installment. Need to focus on improving service delivery.

Josh

Great food, will order again!

Lei Lo

Exceptional quality and quantity. Travels really well for take out. Made with care and attention.

Biao She

Great restaurant, great service. My favorite one is mantu, I ordered the same dish every day for past one week ! Great job guys, keep up the good work !

H B

Was craving butter chicken, and decided to try Chopan out. The food was absolutely delicious. You'll easily manage 2 portions out of the butter chicken meal. The staff who helped me with my pick-up order was polite, and personable. Definitely recommend it, and will be back.

Love joy Cervantes

Excellent restaurant serving Indian/Pakistani/Afghanistan style food. Friendly staff reasonable priced menu and decent size portions

James Reichhelt

Meal type

Becca Ellig

Another favorite in Kitchener. I've now considered myself a regular as I walked in last week and the server knew exactly what I wanted. The food is always fresh and is often one of my meet up spots when I go for networking lunches. It provides an environment that's not noisy and enables you to have discreet conversations. Service is always great and staff is friendly. They are a nice family.

Dorian Whalen

The restaurant is clean and very nice inside. The food is amazing, with lots of options to choose from! The servers are very warm and friendly as well. Definitely come here if you're looking for a delicious meal!

Eric Jardin

I have tried their chapli kababs with biryani rice combo and chopan kabab dinner combo. I really liked the food. Everything was fresh inclusive of the tandoori naans and salad. The chopan kababs had a very strong fatty flavour so I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone averted to a very strong flavour of animal fats. I personally liked them as they were fresh and juicy. Furthermore, I also liked the fact that when asked for some specific instructions through the online app, I actually got a call from the restaurant explaining what they can and can’t entertain. Besides this, a cute lil’ gesture was getting a hand written note from the restaurant thanking us for trying them. I would be going back for trying out more of their menu items.

Abdallah Bey Timuroglu

Wow and wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a place that knows the value of amazing and prompt service with care, thank you Badder! Ordered the beef chapli kebab. Food was delicious, perfect portion size and reasonable pricing as well. Looking forward to bringing the family here.

Melissa Auger

I ordered goat briyani and there gave lamb briyani the taste was very bad and the quantity is very less the price is so expensive and waste of money and i ordered chicken kabab the cost 10 and they gave 4 pieces i never recommended this restaurant

Nikita Ranade

Love this place, everything's great. I suggest the mantoo to start. My favorite dish here is the chicken jalfrezi, always a a good choice.

Dhruv Ghosh

I love the food I love the place very clean highly recommended very good price as well

Philip Jude Fernandez (Deacon Philip)

Excellent choice of grilled meats, cooked to bring out the best of lamb, beef and chicken.

Ariel Grady

Dined here with my parents tonight after I heard very good word of mouth reviews! It was a wonderful experience. The hospitality was great start to finish - when we looked at mains, they patiently explained the various dishes we were looking at, and advised as to the different spice levels. The serving sizes are hospitably generous for the price, and utterly delicious - you can tell they make everything from scratch, and take pride in doing so. Overall it was a wonderful place to pop in to, and I imagine we'll be back soon.

Sayef Khan

It’s a warning never ever order saag paneer from this place, oh gosh it smelled and tasted like cow dung. Save yourself from this place.

Syed Hasan

Amazing food and quantity. I loved their customer service as well.

Muffler Waaley Baba Ji

How was it? Great! It's a great family restaurant. The portion sizes are decent. The food is really good. I like the masala chai tea! Good experience of Afghanistan/ Pakistan cuisine.

Krista Sanderson

Love this place. Great vegetarian options and friendly service. The bolani is absolutely delicious.

Morteza Babaee

Visited multiple times, food always feels home-cooked and tastes great! It's family owned and the service is wonderful, would definitely continue going. I like their chicken curries and naan best.

Alan H. Asgari (TrggrNoMNoM)

Went with 6 other people and got thumbs up from everyone. This level consensus is rare (not a pun; the food was fully cooked!). Everything tasted excellent. Among the tested dishes were: tikka, chaplee, butter chicken, tandoori, jalfrezi, and pakora. Staff were lovely too, and the wait wasn't crazy, but we did arrive early (11:40-ish). Based on speed-to-table a for a pair of other customers who came a bit later, I'm guessing pre-ordering is an available and functional approach. For the cons: the table tops are stone and the seats are metal, so unless you're after a cooling sensation, it's a bit bone chilling. Music had not only an authentic, but also a silent-film-era flavour to it, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Finally, they're closed on Tuesdays, which may catch some folks off-guard.

David Auger-Villanueva

Tried the beef tikka and kebab combo, it tasted amazingly juicy and flavorful. The bolani hands down the best I've had in a very long time. Thanks guys!

TEENA STANLY

Amazing food. Impeccable service. Great experience

Jayne Elford

I didn't like their food at all

Talha Khan

New owners, everything tastes different and isnt as good as it used to be, the meat seems to be of lower quality or atleast not cooked like they use to.

sowmya shiv

Lovely food, great family restaurant run by siblings who are not only nice to deal with but efficient in how they manage customers expectations. Will come back again.

Mojgan Tk

Such flavourful, delicious food and friendly ,kind service. I miss the friendly chats when I order for delivery.

Imtiaz Taibi

I've had better. Not the best tasting meats. Thought I'd try this one after trying Kabob Hut but Kabob Hut was juicer and more fresh. Staff is nice and friendly

Muhammad Ali Khan

4/5 Delicious Manto, Bolani and juicy beef boti bbq. Goat karhai was ok nothing special. Definitely will try other bbq items.

Chintan Patel

Best pakora and best chapli kabob with bolani nice and fresh

Adam Hussey

Lunch

Haseeb Azam

Amazing food! Hospitable environment.

Keith Farr

Ordered delivery on New Year’s Day for my boyfriend and I and we were amazed at how good the food was. ~$50 for the 2 of us but will have leftovers for the next couple days (ordered veg pakoras, bolani, butter chicken, chana masala and an extra order of naan). We both raved about how good everything was and absolutely will be ordering from here again.

Leisurely Loner

One of the best middle eastern restaurant in Kitchener- Waterloo are. Highly recommended.

Carly D

Very quick service, decent portion, reasonable price

Mirza M Abbass

really delicious kabobs. enjoyed food. naan is also very good. might wanna give more salad with meals.

peter J

It was fantastic food, great service. The other customers gave us strange looks, not the fault of the restaurant. Over all it was an amazing experience

Don Simard

Amazing value for mouth watering dishes! The butter chicken is very well done! Very friendly and warm staff! 5 stars from me!

Aarón Graciani

I ordered from their website and I really enjoyed it. It was my first time to have Bolani and It was GREAT. The Beef Shami Kebob came with a bread and garden salad and it was delicious. One of the place that I definitely go back.

Jacob Nasrati

Awesome food at reasonable price

Natig Tofigzade

Perfect place! Fresh and very delicious foods! Recommended!

Nick 1

Quantity is very less for the price they charge. I would usually give 5 stars if the taste compensates for the small portion but i found the taste average specially of their gravy items.

LetsTalkSoccer

Ain't the same anymore new owners with low standards.

Mohamad Abbas

Great service!

K Cruz

One of our favourite hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Kitchener. Food is a Afghani-Indian, portion sizes are generous. Eating-in is fine, though most of their business seems to involve take-out. Clean, though bland, interior (some music would help). Water comes in chilled flip top bottles which is a nice touch. Obviously family run, which is awesome. Easy parking.

Qais Abdulla

AUTHENTIC, DELICIOUS, REASONABLE PRICE. This was my first experience with Afghani/Pakistani/Indian food and it did not disappoint! My companion and I had butter chicken curry dish, chicken, chicken and beef tikka kabobs all served with homemade naan. The meats were well spiced and everything was cooked perfectly and the service was helpful and warm. Going into ethnic restaurants can feel intimidating and you don't always feel welcomed but this is certainly not the case with Chopan Kabob which was very welcoming! Good thing I live close because I will be back!

Matthew Kilpatrick

Had the beef tikka meal and girlfriend had a chicken wrap. Food is fantastic

Liuna Kioki

Best food in the town. I always order from here and every time the experience is excellent. Best service and quality food, if that's what you want this place has it all.

Melissa B

Food is Great! One of the best biryani in town. Deco is a bit on clean and simple side. Good service.

Phil Marfisi

Picked up some good Afghan food for the family earlier......gave me flashbacks of my childhood. Very good flavour ....proud of my people ....good job guys.

Anisha I. Jesani

We ordered take away Chapli and Shamy Kabob plate, it was very good. Good quantity for slightly higher price.

Amandeep Khan

Really delicious foods they serve. I recommend everyone try the dish Tandoori chicken kebab

Saman Wasif

Extremely bad experience, high price and too low in quantity. Even the taste was not good. They use thigh chicken instead of white meat, even their rice looks like other places topped with carrot and resin but the rice itself is plain boiled rice, not like the one we get from other kabob places(looks afghani but without afghani flavours). Total waste to money. Its better to go to mississauga until any other kabob opens here. People who gave more stars might be their own people or have never tried good food. My all friends already told me not to try this but I thought may be they have improved but its a big NO.I will too never recommend this place.

Faizal ahmed

Best Afghani food in the town! The prices are competitive and the kabob are juicy . The meats were very well spcied and everything is cooked perfectly and the customer service is very warm and welcoming !!Food is flavourful!, well presented and good quality ...Baklava became my favourite dessert after having from this place !! I live in this town since last 5 years and mostly my takeouts orders is from this place only! Good job guys :)

Z M

Amazing authentic south Asian/Pakistani food, everything made to order & is done exceptionally well. We will be back!

zohra atcha

Great food and awesome service. The place was recently renovated and looks a lot better.

BES L

Amazing customer service and food. Highly recommend!!

Darryl Dee

Chopan Kabob is fantastic and has been a real lifeline during the pandemic. We order directly from the restaurant website and our meal always arrives on time. We love the tandoori chicken, the pumpkin curry, and eggplant curry. My six-year-old's favourite meal is the chicken breast with a mango lassi.

Umme Hani

Used to be a good place but since it’s taken over by new owners, everything has depreciated. Overcooked grill items, messed up order, small servings, basic salad and bad service. Asked for sauces which was missed from the order. We bought large amount of trays and it was a complete embarrassment in front of guest.

Mahdi Roohnikan

Not too many places I go to eat out here in KWC, as I often cook at home. But this is by far one of the best restaurants and overall food experiences here in Kitchener/Waterloo. It started with my oldest brother coming here for years while he went to uni and it’s continued with me. Genuinely one of the nicest and most kind families, which is displayed and reflected in the incredible food that they make every time !! Always treating everyone with kindness and a smile from the Mother to the boys which are all amazing.. and the food of coarse is nothing short of spectacular!! The chicken breast plate reminds me of the big family Eid dinners that we used to have back home. Thank you to the whole family for the incredible hospitality and amazing food. You guys are one of the best food places around for a reason❤️???????? nothing but love from Abdul @ TD

Hessam Kalbasi

One of my new favourite restaurants! The food is amazing, the staff is super friendly and it's just overall really welcoming. 5 out of 5! If I could give higher, I would.

Khurram A

Great quality and quantity!!

Tarek Mohamed

First time I have ever been to an Afghan restaurant, bit I have to say that the food here is excellent. The Indian dishes offered aren't traditional Indian, but an Afghan take on Indian. I can't recommend this place enough. Dishes are not too spicey, but are loaded with flavour. This family run restaurant is quite the gem in KW. It will definitely become a go-to choice when eating out.

Satnam Sadeora

One of my go to favourites when I don't want to cook, food is consistently tasty and service is always friendly. Mantou!

ELCIN MATHEWS

This is one of the best places to do Skip the dishes from. Absolutely delicious food. Good portions. A little on the spicy side. The actual restaurant itself lacks esthetics.

S M

Good Afghan Food in Area, Afghan dishes are good but South Asian are not at the top specially Karahi etc. In my suggestion Afghan food is so unique and drlicious that you don't have to add South Asian cuisine into your menu unless it sells a lot. Overall nice food spacious restaurant very clean.

Megan J

Very disappointed to be having to leave this review. I LOVED this place. I’ve been ordering butter chicken almost monthly for a couple years. The other night I ordered butter chicken and asked for it to be mild like I always do. The receipt even says mild right on it. Well it was so spicy it made me sick. Including delivery and tip I paid 30 dollars for a meal that only eating a few bites of made me sick. I will NEVER be ordering from here again. Why should I waste 30 dollars again on something that I can’t even eat. I am extremely disappointed because not only did I waste 30 dollars on garbage but I will now have to find a new place to give my business too. I hope you enjoy the hundreds of dollars that I’ve given you over the years.

Devin Lalani

Poor customer service and ill mannered staff

TQ

This restaurant is one of the best middle Eastern in the city. The staff is exceptional, the food quality is second to none and it's been an over great experience over the last four years since I found this unsung hero of great food. Hats off. Keep up the great work.

Murtaza Abidi

This is definitely one of my favourite places to eat. Quickly becoming my favourite. The food is always amazing, the staff is always very friendly and helpful and the restaurant is always clean and well taken care of. I've never been disappointed. Worth every penny.

Karanjot Karanjot

Great Service! Been a customer for a long time. The new management seems to do the trick ! I would recommend everyone to try it one.

Fida Hussain Mughal

I ordered various meal and they assured that all meals would be supplied with bread(naan) and salad but when I took out the meal and opened the bag at my home I find it without bread so I shocked as how to eat these chicken curries without naan it was also difficult to go again for naan by traveling 20 km from my home so please check you order before leaving hotel.the food was also not of that high standard and very small amout of curry with few very small pieces of chicken was expensive one.i do not want to again buy anything from here

Katrina Tioco

Love the food and staff... an all around wonderful experience and highly recommend.

Eat Your Feelings On A Budget

It was kinda meh actually. I've had much better Bolani and kabuli palaw at other Afghan restaurants. I'd heard good things, but I found this quite oily and VERY expensive for what it was. I didn't even take pictures of any of the dishes except for the bolani because they looked so disappointing.

Sahil Joseph

Good food

Khalid

Expensive and low quality food

bashar 96

I always get the Goat Karahi, and it's always so good. Great price for the amount of food you. The service is quick, an easy. Also the people they're are so nice whenever you come in.

Kashif Khan

Used to be a great place but is going from bad to worst now. Burned BBQ, portiom sizes are reduced, salad quality is bad, order being messed up and lost the afghan authentic taste alltogether.

Hema Sickand

the best grill kabob I ever tasted in GTA area! you never regret if you come this store~! and boss is very friendly and give me some snack as gift. love it!

Omar Awad

The place is good. Food is nice but pricey. Giving it 3 points because of small portions and very pricey food. Watan Kabob and Chopan Kabob in Mississauga give double the food, greater quality and taste in same price (or even lesser).

Nicole G (Nicole G)

Great food and wonderful people. While I was picking up my order, the son asked me about my Mom which really made me smile. Pre-2020 my Mom and I would dine-in on quarterly basis so I was really touched that they remembered us. Did I mention how tasty the food is?

John Bowman

First of all, it is one of the best restaurants serving afghan food in KWC area and not only the food their customer service is excellent too . I ordered tandoori chicken , chopan kabob and shami skewers and mango lassi , the meats were very well spiced and everything was cooked perfectly and they are very decently priced . Needless to say I was blown away!! I will be a forever client of your now . Mango lassi is one of the creamiest and fulfilling drink I ever had !!! . Good thing I live close because i will come back

Kanu Lubhaya

Ahh love the butter chicken! I’ve been here so much the man over the phone even knows it’s me????. Not a very busy spot, quiet and clean. I usually order take out but I have stayed and it was nice and relaxing (went alone) so yes, very relaxing :) The food is just amazing!! Go here!.....Now! :)

Beverley Ahrens

Order from now here now and again, and I have never been disappointed. One of the rare places in the KW area that serve authentic brown food that is fresh and oh so flavourful!

J. Reid

Good, wholesome food as always.

Lakhwinder Singh

Service

Tom R

Always incredible food, never had a bad meal. Extremely friendly and inviting staff. More than happy to continue supporting their business. Keep it up!

Salman Ali

We tried the beef items. Beef tikka and Beef shami kabob tasted good. At given price the quantity could be better. My husband ordered Beef chaplee kabob and it tasted nothing like chaplee kabob. tasted like bad pakora. Friendly staff.

Amany Mokaddem

We had the Mantoo and the Chopan lamb kebabs and it was all terrific. The person serving us was a very polite and friendly young man. This place is as good as any of the best Afghan restaurants in Toronto, based on the dishes I ordered.

Ayaz Shaikh

Food was cold and took 40 minutes to prepare and was overpriced

Ryan T

Very impressed with this restaurant. Butter chicken was rich, flavourful, and seasoned perfectly. Ordered the vegetable pakoras which were crispy, and delicious; would absolutely recommend the bolani also. The chana masala was outstanding, truly the highlight dish. Their garlic naan Is simple, and exceeded my expectations. Please eat here.

Ohgodiamspecial

Came here on a whim, as it was the only Afghani food near by but wow was I blown away! The shami kabob was out of the world. It was delicious with a sweet pepper aroma. The chicken tandoori was boneless but juicy and flavorful. The garlic naan was good and the rice was perfectly cooked. Definitely coming back before I leave!

Rob

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The smells coming from the kitchen are gorgeous & my lunch didn't disappoint. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Goku

Great restaurant. The service here was top notch! The food was great and the place has a very clean, bright atmosphere. I will visit again soon with my family.

SHABIR ALLY

The takeout here is absolutely incredible. The hot sauce and every dish is so awesome.

Bahram M

Great food ....priced right .... definitely authentic....friendly staff ......they make their own hot sauce ..... courteous Try it you will be happy

John MacLachlan

Great food. Fantastic people. Been there many times, always leave happy. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

Kristen Bill

We love chopan kabob and have been getting take out here many times. The only thing I dislike is the salad that comes with the plates. When they first opened it used to be like finely diced tomato and cucumber and much better..now its legit one piece of tomato, a couple slices of cucumber and roughly chopped lettuce. Could be better. The meat and rice are great every time though and we love the bread. Just fix the salad its not appetizing.

Ayesha Fatima

The best restaurant I have ever been to ! Juicy kabobs and delicious desserts! Keep up the good work

Its Mate

Great food, reasonable price. The place was full, but two guys were managing very efficiently, providing prompt service and responding to all our needs. Have high chairs, toilets are very clean.

Jonathan Brubacher

Excellent food. The dumplings are amazing. I like the different varieties of rice. Great place for takeout - pickup or delivery during the pandemic.

Pallavi Kartik

One of the best tandoori chicken biryani.. although I find the quantity a bit less in comparison with its price. But nonetheless it tastes great. It comes with naan, side salad and small packets of chutney and yogurt. Since it’s a take out due to pandemic, the packaging was good too. Would like to try more from this restaurant. ????????

Dan Lynch

I can't express my love for this restaurant enough. It has an excellent selection of Afghani and Indian dishes and an array of vegetarian options. The price point is excellent; you certainly get what you pay for in flavour alone. Its family owned, perfectly spiced, and has generous portions. What more could you ask for?

mohamad amin

Absolutely AMAZING butter chicken!!! Suuuuper creamy and it has a more noticeable taste of cinnamon. Seriously, pay them a visit. You will get hooked.

BJ

This is an amazing place.Great food, reasonable price. The place was full, but two guys were managing very efficiently, providing prompt service and responding to all our needs.

Everett

Excellent service. The restaurant is very spacious and extremely clean. The folks here are very hospitable.

Mike Gr

The literal best food in KW

Wahid Khandoker

Our family ate here last night for the first time, and it won't be our last! We had an absolutely fabulous meal with several entrees and dessert for less than $100 for a family of four. We met the owner and his son who both work in the restaurant. The food was brilliant, and I'm looking forward to our next visit.

Collin Fair

Chopan Kabob is hands down the best Indian/Afghani restaurants in Kitchener-Waterloo, and probably one of the best Indian places I have been to in North America. It is a family-run restaurant, and they treat their regular customers as part of their larger family. I have traveled widely in the US and Canada, and rarely seen a restaurant as good as Chopan Kabob, that combines excellence in food, superb service, and low price.

Jen MacGregor

I enjoyed our conversation with the owner. This is a family-run restaurant. The food was delicious! Service was good. I suggested to the owner that he needed warm the place up with some images from Afghanistan and he was very receptive. July 2021 - we hadn't been here for a while due to covid. Just picked up the two dishes, a dahl dish as well as a chicken curry dish. Fantastic! Very well spiced and tasty. I wouldn't give them high marks for the salad, but the other dishes eclipsed that disappointment. I will definitely be going back. 5 stars!!

Christopher Smith

I have no idea if the food I get from this place is "authentic", as some other reviewers have got overly testy about. I can tell you that it's delicious, it's always fresh tasting and they have a great online ordering & delivery system. I will continue to eat here regularly.

Chris Weber

The food is amazing but before there used to be bread on the side that you cut off, when we order chicken Braini its all rise with 4 small pieces of chicken there used to be more years back , and I really like the old Salad , you also made the salad less from couple of years ago than you changed the type of salad "I think customers should pick if they want taboula or the old kind of salad """.Other than that I really love coming , and you have a very good customer service , its just there is couple of things that you need to change to make people come back. Again this is my opinion , its just there is couple of things you should do the old way , which would make customers Happy.

Janelle Mackay

Our family all have our fav's from Chopan. We order many different dishes and aren't disappointed.

derek elworthy

The food and service are really nice. They are well priced and provide a good quantity of food. There are many options of different types of meals to choose from. Both the vegetarian and non vegetarian options are freshly prepared. It's a great place for families.

AK K

The kabob are to die for Chopan are fatty But chicken is good

ANA TROY

Been here several times and always met with great service and excellent food. I always get the lamb chops and they are delicious. It's a bit of a hidden gem imo.
