Best Halal Afghan in Toronto & the GTA
Afghan food is one of Toronto's strongest halal food stories and one of its most underrated. The chapli kabob — a spiced flat patty griddled to a crisp edge — is one of the best things you can eat in the city for under $10. The spots on the Hit List cover the Thorncliffe Park institution, the Lawrence Ave original, and a newer entry pushing the category forward. All three are fully halal, and all three are worth the trip — the question is what you're in the mood for.

How we rank halal afghan
The Halal Hit List ranks afghan spots based on actual visits — not Google ratings, not reviews, not popularity. Every entry has been visited, photographed, and given a binary verdict on TikTok (Hit or Miss), then ranked numerically here.
