What our guests are saying
I organize social events for ladies in the community and had an Eid Dinner here recently. The service is amazing, I had quite a few conversations with the manager over several days, she was so helpful and made sure the event went really smoothly. She answered all my questions, was very organized and polite. We had our own spot to ourselves and the decor and atmosphere was really welcoming and beautiful. The food was so delicious, I loved the variety, the service was fast, the staff was so courteous. The prices are very reasonable especially considering how expensive things are right now. The portions of food were very generous as well. The owner took time to say hello and was really nice. I highly recommend everyone visit the restaurant. You will have an amazing experience!

OUTSTANDING! I have never been to a restaurant that family-plattered so well. 3 people, and we still had leftovers with the family plate for two. Meat had the uniquest texture, and I loved it. It was almost chewy? Anyways, the beef was made well done and was a little spicy, but still great for my low spice tolerance divas. This is a great place to go to for any event or celebration.

The food here was so delicious and savoury that i felt like i was back in turkey in a beachside restaurant. The environment was calm and nostalgic. The service here was amazing we loved our waiter seema her attitude was great and welcoming. We ordered the Mantu, Lentil Soup, Sucuk Pide, and for dessert a backlava with icecream. The mantu was so so savoury and had many layers of flavour and was overall very delicious! The Mantu was my favorite. The Lentil Soup was filled with flavour and so amazing. The first bite was magical. I definetly recommend getting the Lentil Soup and Mantu. There was so much filling in the Mantu and the dumpling skin was thin and the balance was perfect. I would definitely recommend coming here I can say this is the BEST Afghan Turkish Restaurant in Mississauga. I also could not get a photo of the lentil soup since it was so good me and my mom finished it before we could even speak.
