This was my first time at an Afgan restaurant and my overall impression was "good", but not great.
The appetizers were all tasty. I'd recommend all three. Service was pretty friendly. A little inaccurate when it came to the orders. The decor inside really gives the place an authentic feel.
One thing that stood out was that there was a separate dining room for women, which made dining in the "men's side" slightly uncomfortable for my girlfriend. Nobody seemed to care too much though.
This place is worth trying if you're in the area. A little tricky to find, just keep driving around the complex until you see it. -

Who knew looking for marble slabs would lead me to this unexpected love affair. I'm not for long distant relationships (yes, Surrey, to me, qualifies as a distant location=P) but how can you not jump into one when the meats are succulent and the aroma puts you into a trance? I'm all about first impressions.
This small family run restaurant is hella hard to find but the search is well worth it. Do not give up. Giving up is for suckers. I drove in a blustering blizzard in my little sports car and I still made it. So just get there, okay?
Now on to the good stuff. Eat bolanis for your appetizer! Lots of them. They were so amazing that I nearly bursted into tears with every bite. And at $2.50 a plate, you'll pop these babies in your mouth like no tomorrow.
BUT do save room for the main course. Grilled meats of the succulent kind on a bed of fragrant rice with vegetable sides of your choice. It comes with naan bread as well. Good serving size. Be equipped with an iron stomach because you will not be able to stop eating until you've consumed every single crumb.
AND make sure you leave a bit o' room still for the Ferney. That's right, Ferney with a capital F. It's their only dessert but damn, it's good. My recommendation is that you eat one and order another for the road. I want to name all my children Ferney.
DON'T forget to have your chai tea too, even though it's a bit of a hit and miss. The first brew was fantastic. The second brew was ok. I also ordered a lassi because I'm always down for a good lassi. Perhaps not appropriate on a winter's day but it was simply delish.
Wow, just finished reading over my review. I sound obese. I don't know what has come over me but Afghan Chopan has found its way into my heart and stomach and for that, I'm offically declaring my long distant relationship status. -

Afghan cuisine!!
We had a tiny bit of trouble finding this establishment, but once we navigated the lot it is in we were all good. Greeted by a nice waterfall immediately upon entering. Seated fairly promptly and were attended to right away.
I had bolani to start, which was potatoes stuffed into a pastry like dough, served with this amazing hot sauce on the side. My entree was a shami kebab, ground beef with onions, chili peppers, garlic and spices. It came with a delicious basmati rice, which also had some raisins and carrots in it and naan bread. Chai tea was had on the side. Everything was delicious and I would come back here anytime.
They lost one star only because it seemed they forgot about us once we were close to being done, but other than that it is great! -

First about the location,if you are using a GPS enter this correct address is "12888 80 Ave Surrey, BC V3W 7X4". Make sure you don't enter '80th ave' but just '80 ave'.
As for the food goes this is a great place. Tasty and reasonably priced appetizers ($3.5 for appetizers! yes please). Option to add extra skewers of meat if you feel like a little extra meat.
This is my type of place except its pretty far away. -

I really love when a restaurant not only assimilates a cuisine, but also the country's culture; not only do you have the choice of the average chair-and-table dining area, but there's also a Middle Eastern floor-and-silk-pillow seating area option.
The place itself is immaculately designed- what captures my eye the most is the waterfall when you first walk-in.
The food is incredibly tasty; I've only indulged in their buffet, not ordered off the menu, but I expect it to be equally as good.
Afghan Chopan has outstanding chefs, and the folks who own the place are kind and friendly.
Score: who needs Disney's Aladdin when you've got your own Afghan Chopan?Listed in: Favourite "All You Can Eat"…

Review from Raza M.
No doubt the best Afghan food in Greater Vancouver area. They sure know how to cook meat. Don't miss bolani (potatoes stuffed into a soft pastry like dough) and egg plant with their delicious bread. And while you there you may want to try how real lassi tastes like. It's a family owned and run place, and therefore the server are not all over you all the time, which I really like.

Although it is a bit out of Vancouver but I think it's worth to drive out here to Surrey. The food is just amazing.
