If you’re a fan of Afghani cuisine, Real Kebab is a gem you won’t want to miss. Nestled in Markham, this restaurant offers a delightful mix of flavors that capture the authentic essence of Afghani dining. Customers rave about the beef koobideh and butter chicken bowl, both praised for their incredible taste and aroma. The kabobs, whether beef or chicken, are cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned.
Not only is the food a highlight, but the value is exceptional too. Diners can take advantage of offerings like the "2 Can Dine for 20" special, which includes generous portions of kebabs, rice, salad, naan, and soft drinks. Patrons appreciate the fresh, fragrant rice that pairs beautifully with the skewers, while the accompanying chickpea cabbage salad adds a refreshing touch.
For dessert, the baklava is a popular choice, though some find it a bit on the sweet side. Moreover, the warm and welcoming service enhances the dining experience, making you feel at home right from the first greeting. With ample parking and a clean atmosphere, Real Kebab stands out as a must-visit for an enjoyable culinary experience.

I ordered the beef koobideh and a baklava to for take out. The beef koobideh came with 2 skewers and the flavor and aroma was fantastic. The chickpea cabbage salad had a nice acidity to it and the 2 sauces that came with the meal were also good. The meal also came with a giant piece of naan. The baklava was pretty decent but I found it to be way too sweet. I paid around 20 dollars for everything. Theres also plenty of parking spaces in the plaza.

I really love this place because the food was extremely affordable as well as so delicious. Probably some of the best kebab that I’ve had in a very long time and I’ve had a lot considering my partner is Persian. Even the rice was so flavorful and perfectly cooked! nonetheless it’s safe to say that we were both pleasantly surprised by this place, from the food to the kindness from the workers to the clean space! Thank you! We will be back

I tried the butter chicken bowl. So tasty and authentic. I will come back to try the rest of the menu when I’m in the area. Fresh bread/Naan. So yummy

My first visit here and I tried their lunch offer- "2 Can Dine for 20," and it was an incredible value! From the quality to the taste, everything exceeded expectations. The beef and chicken kabobs were perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The rice perfectly complemented the kabobs.The portions were generous too! To top it off, the service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend!

Had the pleasure to stop by Real Kebab. Took advantage of their 19.99 2 can dine special. 2 chicken or beef kebabs on rice, salad, naan and 2 soft drinks. Incredible value especially as they make the kebabs to order guaranteeing succulent meat. Rice was fragrant and long grain. You’re also greeted by a friendly women who is really helpful. Hope to visit more often to try their other items.

Afghan food has many similarities to North Indian food. With the Kebabs, basmati rice, firnee etc. This was our first expereince with Afghan food and boy was it a great one. The chicken koobideh came with succulent chicken kebabs, rice and fresh salad. A combination platter with beef and chicken kebab rice naan and salad. Mango smoothie is like Indian Mango Lassi, yummy. Firnee is similar to the Indian sweet dish called Kheer, not very sweet and very very tasty. Portion sizes of everything were very generous. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try some tasty and scrumptious food. We can't wait to go back to try the other dishes.

We tried this place for the first time and bought the two can dine special. For 19.99, it came with generous portions which included one chicken kebab? one beef kebab, rice, salad, 2 x naan and 2 x soft drinks. We liked the flavour of both kebabs but enjoyed the beef more. After our experience, we would definitely try this place again.

Incredible experience at Real Kabab! The food was absolutely delicious — juicy kababs cooked to perfection and served with fresh, flavorful sides. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were kind and caring throughout. If you are craving top-quality Persian kabab, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
