New Aafrien

What is New Aafrien? Known across Toronto municipal records as New Aafrien and operating to diners under the Aafrien banner, this time-honoured North Indian dining room has served authentic Punjabi and Mughlai cuisine to midtown Toronto for over a decade. The comfortable, warmly lit dining room features white tablecloth service, traditional brass tableware, and a relaxed, welcoming ambiance suitable for family gatherings and corporate lunches.

New Aafrien Menu & What to Order The kitchen excels in slow-simmered curries and clay-oven tandoor barbecue. The Butter Chicken is a perennial favourite, balancing gentle tomato acidity, rich butter, and cream with tender tandoor-roasted chicken breast chunks. Other standout dishes include the aromatic Lamb Rogan Josh infused with Kashmiri dried chilies and whole cardamom pods, creamy Paneer Tikka Masala, and smoky skewers of chicken seekh kebab served on a sizzling cast-iron platter with blistered garlic butter naan fresh from the tandoor.
