About the restaurant
*Please call us for large group reservations*

Afghan Kitchen is the manifestation of a young boy’s dream. He roamed the streets of Kabul in his sandals and saw how hard his family worked to sustain themselves. In the times of war, they moved to different neighbouring countries until they finally came to Canada.

Afghan Kitchen presents you the vision of the young boy’s very own restaurant since he was six years old. Every corner of Afghan Kitchen is thoughtfully curated. Every dish uses mum’s recipe.

This is a family-owned and -run business that reflects the best of Afghan roots, traditions, and values. Afghan Kitchen is the taste of home.

Our first time at Berkeley North and the food was quite amazing. Ambience was interesting.. but fun. We had to try the Gnocchi and that was the highlight of the night. We had the BN salad and the Mushroom Dumplings which was all great. Service was great. Recommended!

Always a pleasure dining at Bistro 67! I had the student special (agnolotti pasta stuffed with feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, in a creamy pesto sauce) which was outstanding. Wish it could become a regular item on the menu. Their special drink (winter red sangria) was superb! Service was excellent, as always.

We love George! proposed to come back every year on the date that I propose to my wife. We’ve been doing this for 11 years now. Not only is the food great, and the sommelier-based wine pairings are phenomenal, it’s also the little things like them remembering exactly where we sit, and they give us the same booth every time without even asking. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, the food, the ambience. It’s definitely Worth to go for a special occasion!

About the restaurant
The word ‘Miijidaa’ is from the Ojibway language that loosely translates to “let’s eat”. It's a celebration of our roots, foods, wine + brews; a chance to showcase cuisines that influenced our culinary landscape and to show off our northern bounty.

There are many influences in what has come to define "Canadian" cuisine starting with the First Nations, followed by the influences of the French, English, Vikings, Portuguese and more. Our menu is a modern take on our northern gastronomic history with each cuisine and tradition inspiring the tapestry of our culinary landscape that we hope to celebrate on our menu.

Great tea selection and it was great that I could try different kinds of teas in the same visit. I had three kinds! Tea is made at the kitchen counter in glass pot to perfect coulour, leaves are removed before brought to table. Therefore it doesn’t becomes too strong until the last drop of pot. All of us couldn’t finish food, so took home the left over to home. Was great atmosphere and great service!
