A family-run Afghan kitchen on Bank Street
We are a family-owned restaurant at 249 Bank Street, in the heart of downtown Ottawa and a short walk from Parliament Hill.
Our aim is simple: fresh, delicious halal food, and a calm, welcoming room to step into from the busy downtown streets.
The menu centres on kabobs and rice: beef and chicken shami, beef and lamb tikka, chapli patties and tandoori chicken, served with Afghan rice, salad and fresh naan, alongside qabuli lamb shank, mantu dumplings, bolani and slow-cooked qormas.
Everything is halal. Vegetarian choices include sabzi (spinach stew), eggplant qorma, bolani, lentil soup and salads.
