The Best Afghan Restaurants in Toronto

If you are looking to find the best Afghan restaurants in Toronto -- this guide is for you!

Afghan cuisine is aromatic and packed full of flavour! Iconic dishes include ashak, a traditional dumpling dish from Kabul; Bolani, a stuffed vegetarian flatbread; kebabs, slow-cooked meat on skewers; afghani green sauce, which is best served with meat and potatoes and jalebi, which is a traditional crispy sweet dessert!

Afghan cuisine is influenced through border trade from different countries like Mongolia and Iran and therefore, it is an amalgamation of centuries of evolving palates and local and foreign ingredients. There are so many delicious spices like cumin, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom used in Afghan cuisine! If you are looking for places in Toronto and the GTA to try authentic Afghan food, check out this list!
