The Kabob Guys

What is The Kabob Guys? Located along the bustling Spadina strip just south of Richmond in Wellington Place, The Kabob Guys is a relaxed, modern Afghan diner pairing counter-service speed with time-honoured grilling traditions. The intimate 30-seat interior stays crisp and inviting with soft blue tones, clean lines, and Afghan art prints, complemented in warmer months by a vibrant sidewalk patio framed with greenery. It bridges the divide between a rapid takeout hub and a dependable sit-down spot for substantial, comforting plates.

The Kabob Guys Menu & What to Order Charcoal-kissed skewers dominate the order sheet, led by the spiced minced-meat 'Chaplee Kabob' and the 'Waziri Tandoori', both served alongside mountains of seasoned rice, salad, and warm Afghan naan. The delicate 'Mantu' dumplings—stuffed with seasoned beef and dressed in garlicky yogurt and split-pea sauce—are an essential non-skewer detour, while the multi-meat 'Grand Wazir' platter easily satisfies ravenous duos. Finish with the house pistachio dessert, an aromatic sweet note that tempers the spice and smoke.

Know Before You Go Seating runs exclusively on a walk-in basis, and while a steady stream of takeout couriers crowds the front counter during weekday lunch and late-night rushes, the 30 dining room seats turn over swiftly. Skip the search for parking along Spadina or Richmond and take the 510 Spadina streetcar, which stops just steps from the entrance. The kitchen keeps long hours, cooking until 11:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:00 p.m. on Sunday.
