Kabul Express has been shot in Kabul in Afghanistan under extremely tight security. The film will be a part of the Special Presentation Program and will be screened under the category of ‘Artistic and Daring Cinema from around the world’. The film which has been directed by Kabir Khan stars John Abraham and Arshad Warsi in lead roles.

This was my second and last trip to this restaurant ever.After Karan Johar’s film Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna was selected for a screening at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), its now the turn of Yash Raj production Kabul Express which is slated to make its presence felt at the TIFF. How can you fight with your customers over plates? I know this may sound kinda silly but it’s absolutely pathetic! Moreover, I sometimes feel this guy only has a group of selected old regular customers to whom he pays attention to rather than focusing on giving good customer service to everybody present in the restaurant. I was completely shocked at this and felt like punching him in the face. And then this guy says, ’ We have already given you two plates in which you got your food, how many more plates do you want?! ‘. Anyways, when I went back to the table one of my friends told me that they also need an extra plate, so I went back to get one more. When I went up to the counter to ask for extra plates, this guy was so reluctant to hand me an extra plate. I have never experienced such a stupid and rude person. The main thing that pissed me off was the guy at the counter. There are other restaurants in Toronto where you can get more variety. I have visited this place twice and the food is average. Not quite as flavourful as Bamiyan but still fresh and quite yummy. All in all, a worthy place to drop in for lunch or dinner if you’re craving for kababs. I have to admit it was quite pricey as my lunch came out to be around $ 15 but understandably so considering the amount of food I got for my money. The naan was also unremarkable but it was alright nonetheless. The soup and salads are nothing to really rave about but they taste fresh. The rice was very well made and quite delicious. The meat was lightly flavoured and quite spicy but I was able to manage. Something that I have never really experienced before with chicken. The chicken was very tender and it had a very unique snap to it as you bite it. I went with their tandoori chicken combo that came with soup, rice, salad and of course a big piece of naan. This is a very unassuming place that gets quite busy in the evenings and lunch time but most of the time you might just walk right by it without evening noticing it. I was finally able to satisfy my curiosity after months of walking by this place day in and day out.
