We read a lot of restaurant reviews on our extended trip to Houston and there were some really good things about the buffet here so thought to try it. First impression - Restaurant seemed nice, airy and clean. We went at the start time of the buffet and they were still bringing food out. It was the usual Pakistani buffet, no texmex items like we expected from previous menus. Owner said menu changes every week. Bohri biriyani lacked salt, gola kabab was over salted to the point of bitter. The rest of the kababs - chicken malai boti, chicken tandoori, beef Bihari was okay. Puri came late but they were good. There was chicken strips, nuggets, fries for kids. There was one kind of dessert, don’t think I tried it. Also, tea and a pink drink and salad for all. Overall, middle of the road. About $17.99 USD and $21 CAD. Kids under 5 eat free.

We’re from out of town and were excited to try Bamiyan based on the reviews. Unfortunately it was like a visit to the Windsor salt factory. Super salty kabobs. The sauces didn’t help. We ordered a Kabob platter with chicken tikka kebabs and a beef kabob, Chapli kabob and the Kabuli Pulao platter with lamb shank. The lamb shank on the other hand was totally tasteless. Meat was tender but it lacked any kind of seasoning. The rice was just okay. Platters come with salad and Afghan bread.
For pros, place was clean, bathroom was clean. Food tasted fresh.
Don’t get the high ratings. Totally underwhelming experience. Not worth the price plus cost of parking.
