Best Chicken Kebab in Calgary

Savour our juicy Chicken Kebab, a staple of Afghan grilling tradition. Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon, garlic, and aromatic Afghan spices, then grilled over open flame until beautifully charred and irresistibly tender. Served with fragrant basmati rice, fresh salad, and warm naan bread.

Grilled Kebab

Spice Level: Mild-Medium

Family Favourite

Chicken kebab is one of the most popular grilled dishes in Afghan cuisine, enjoyed daily across Afghanistan from street-side stalls to family dinners. The Afghan approach to chicken kebab emphasises a yogurt-based marinade that tenderises the meat while infusing it with layers of flavour from garlic, lemon, and traditional spices.

At Kabul Restaurant, our Chicken Kebab is prepared using authentic Afghan methods. We start with premium cuts of chicken, which are marinated for hours in a mixture of yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and our house blend of Afghan spices. The marinated chicken is then threaded onto skewers and grilled over high heat, creating a beautiful char on the outside while keeping the meat incredibly moist and flavourful inside.

"The chicken kebab with rice and salad was a fantastic lunch. Seasonings in the kebab were very tasty. Even the rice was very different in flavour and complimented the kebab perfectly."
