This was my very first time trying Afghan cuisine & let me just begin by saying, if you haven’t tried it YOU ARE MISSING OUT & here’s WHY;
1. Mazadar means delicious or tasty and I reckon the owner has been very thoughtful when choosing the name because the food is SO SO DELICIOUS!
2. Absolutely a hidden gem located in the Queen St East neighbourhood.
3. The place is HUGE! & the staff is super inviting! Special mention to Faiza, Srijan & Jeevan for their amazing service & being super friendly! I love a place when the staff actually welcomes you with so much warmth.
4. Now let’s talk about the food! The food was absolutely FIRE! We ordered pretty much their best sellers which are the Eggplant Banjaan, Chicken Kebab Plate & Lamb Chops. I don’t even know where to begin! I never liked eggplants my whole life but when Farid (the owner of Mazadar) assured that this is the BEST eggplant I would have ever tried, OH BOY! He was SO RIGHT! Super flavourful & so creamy, like who knew eggplants would taste so yummy? AS for the Chicken Kebab Plate, the chicken was cooked to perfection and super tender + it came with rice and salad. The portions are huge!! & the highlight was the Lamb Chops - these were grilled to perfection! I could literally eat this everyday!
5. I can’t believe I didn’t discover this place earlier! Highly recommend visiting this place!!
6. Trust me, you won’t regret!! :)

I found the restaurant very casual, and the food was great.
Our waitress was attentive and chatty, she made us feel welcome.
The walls were decorated with Afghan dresses, and the washroom was decorated in Afghan'y art. Very authentic, and a nice change from the norm. We had a window seat which allowed for some people watching on Queen St.
I didn't research well enough, as they don't have a liquor licence.

Visited for the first time for Thanksgiving and boy did I make the right choice coming here. The best Afghan food I’ve ever had and I’ve had plenty of Afghani food. Highly recommend!
