★★★☆☆ Place is decent and big enough to be family friendly as well.
Menu was pretty much the same as any other Afghan restaurant (Pamier, Bamiyan, etc.). Food tasted OK. The only thing I would advise against ordering is the Mantoo - that tasted absolutely horrendous!
Service was terrible though. There was only one old man at the counter and he hardly understood and spoke English. He was also the one serving the food from over the counter. We had to ask for fork and knives as they didn't bother giving it with the food.
The most shocking for us was when we asked for a jug of water and were told that they did not have any. So we ended up buying bottled water however, later we noticed a family seated next to us with a big pitcher of water!!
Personally, I would not go back to sit and eat. Much rather do a take-out. Posted on March 30, 2013 |

★☆☆☆☆ I see GINNAT is also a victim of this restaurant.
Here is my experience with Firdous Restaurant.
I just signed up with Yelp and now Zabihah just so I could post a review of how unsatisfied I am with this restaurant and their shady practices. When I saw on Teambuy that they had an offer for this restaurant which was $10 for $20 worth of food, tax included, I was very interested. The picture of the kabobs looked very tasty so I decided to buy 3 vouchers.
My first visit, I ordered a Sultani Kabob combo $12.49 and Chicken Tikka Tandoori (No Combo) $6.99. The total should have came up to $22.12 but somehow it came up to almost $27 from what I remember. I questioned how the total could cost so much and they said they made a mistake and charged me a combo for both so they re-calculated the order. This time, it came up to $25 and change which still did not seem right so I asked for a receipt. They said they could not give me a receipt because I used a voucher but can write one up manually for me. The manual receipt had no calculations but just what I ordered and what the total was so I asked them how they reached a total of $25 and change. Then they said, we charged you for bread, you want bread right? I did not mention that I wanted bread but I was already frustrated so I just took the bread. He said, next time, if you don't want bread, just say so.
(Note: In take out menu booklet, the combo said it includes naan, however, the pictures above their front counter and on their website of their combos and prices do not show bread so I don't know what's correct.)
My second visit, I bought the Tikka Kabob combo and Chicken Tikka Breast Combo, both costing $9.99 each and I said no bread so I was expecting a total $22.58. So the cashier punches in my order and again, $25 and some change. I reiterated to him that I do not want bread so he recalculated it again and it came to $22.58. Finally he got it right. I wanted to point out in their take out menu that it says "Naan included" but I didn't want to upset the him since I had one more voucher to use there and am paranoid of having my food tampered with.
My third visit, I ordered the same as my second visit and again, it came up to $29 and change. I advised him that $9.99 + $9.99 + tax is not $29 and change so he recalculated it and said $25 and change. Then I said I didn't want bread so they recalculated it and said $22.58. Now when I get my meal, they didn't bother to ask me what kind of dressing I wanted with the salad and just put ranch when I wanted Italian. I also asked for extra chutney and his response was, I have to charge you for it, this is a business. Yet, I saw him give the two customers before me extra chutney for free. Not sure if it was a racial thing or because I used a voucher but I didn't care anymore.
On a side note, the food is decent. Not great but not bad but I will never come back to this place. This business is so shady with their practices of charging you extra for bread when you don't even ask for it. Posted on September 20, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ I have visited this place about 3 times due to trips in the area.
My last visit this past week will remain my last visit due to a few reasons:
1. the taste of the food has gone downhill. It did not help either that I had Bamiyan kebob the previous day for lunch. There is NO Comparison of the food taste of this place to Bamiyan Kebob, or even Pamier. This is like eating a week's old Bamiyon kebob. The tikka kebob I ordered was not up to par to other kebob places, both in terms of taste, texture, and freshness.
2. The size of the portions have been reduced compared to my previous visits, and compared to the other kebob places.
3. The cashier/order taking woman charged me EXTRA for the naan bread which was INCLUDED in the dinner COMBO!!
I asked her and pointed to the bamiyan-copy-cat menu, and she said it was not included, even though it was included, so I forked over the extra money for the naan. I was shocked, since this was not even a joke! What a disappointment. I eat out regularly, and will certainly take my business elsewhere. Posted on September 1, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ The service was terrible. Food was a crap, no good taste and not well-cooked. No ventilation. They opened the doors and flies were moving around. Dishes weren't clean either. I would say, THE WORST RESTAURANT IN MISSISSAUGA IF NOT GTA... THE PLACE SHOULD CLOSE!!! Posted on August 11, 2012 |
