Afghan Chopan Bakery & Diner: Reviews & Ratings
A go to place for Afghan Food; this is the smaller sister to the one in Surrey and doesn’t disappoint; meat was very tender and juicy and sides were the right portion; Gave service a bit low cause only 2 person working; atmosphere is meh They brought some bread out which was great, but why bring it if we are having rice
I can say that this restaurant from our Afghan brothers and sisters reminds me of the homemade food back home in the south of Iran. The staff are truly hardworking and caring, and I've never been disappointed with the quality, hospitality, and good price they have in the last two years. We usually order the couple's combo and eggplant dessert on it. You better try it.
We got the couples combo (40tax) and it was amazing! Definitely worth the price with three different meat skewers, salad, yoghurt and chutney, Qabuli rice, bread, 2 soft drinks and a veggie side. The meat was so soft and tender and the rice was amazing. Service was great and the stage seating was overall an amazing experience.
Another great dinner catchup this time with my good old Rogers & Shaw buddy Lorne the Bairdman Slacker . Good timez ! Great spread of food , service , and ambiance (Persian-inspired warmth hospitality! ) offered at Afghan Chopan in Richmond, BC, Canada
Absolutely Amazing Experience! If you’re looking for delicious Afghan cuisine, Afghan Choupan is a must-visit! The kabobs and Persian-style rice dishes are incredibly flavorful, and the hospitality is top-notch! The option to sit on traditional floor seating, benches, or tables adds to the cozy experience. But the real star? The Qabili Palaw! You CANNOT miss this dish—it’s simply out of this world! And the tender, juicy meat was the best I’ve ever had in my life! Highly recommend!
The food is delicious. I had rice and lamb, both very good. The staff is caring and helpful. You don't have to wait long for the food. Prices are not expensive.
I was in the area for a convention and decided to stop by for a lunch with some friends, and by the time we got our food we were shocked seeing how empty it was. The food was amazing!! The chicken was the favourite from all of us. Service was friendly and quick and we actually went back a second time before the convention was over cause we couldn't get enough!
Afghan cuisine. Enjoyable first time trying. Favourite is the shami kebab, kabuli pulao. Mantu is similar to Korean Mandu mixed in salty beef sauce. Takeout available. Located on the north facing strip of the Richmond Public Market.
