With some of the best BBQ food in the GTA, Cafe de Khan is exactly the Pakistani restaurant that Mississauga has been lacking for quite some time now.
While i was born in Canada, my family was born and raised in Pakistan. We rarely look forward to going out for Pakistani food...i mean why would you go out when you can make better at home right? WRONG!!!
While some of their other menu options like their butter chicken were nothing to rave about, the kebabs here may quite possibly change your life! In all honesty, pretty much everything we've tried off the grill has been worth bragging about. I highly recommend the kebabs (ground beef skewers), the bihari boti (BBQ beef cubes - tender to the point that they will melt in your mouth), chicken tikka, and the matka ghost (lamb cooked in a clay pot with fresh herbs...a must try!).
What really differentiates this place from all others is their bread options. While their naan is fresh out of their in-house tandoor (never frozen...made fresh to order and fantastic!), the parathas are superb with anything off the grill. Parathas are like fried tortillas...thin, soft, buttered to death and sooo tasty that you know your stomach will hurt for the rest of the day. While i recommend the parathas for things off the grill, i also recommend getting a couple naans if you are in a large group or particularly with any dish that has a gravy or is stew like (ie. not off the grill).
With a genuinely nice owner, a clean environment, and great prices for such superb food...Cafe de Khan is the reason you want to pack your bags and make the road trip to heartland!
please note: all food prepared here is certified halal. -

I dined at Cafe de Khan on the advice of a friend. they raved about the place. Sadly, I cannot agree with their ravings. My dish, the boneless chicken tikka, consisted of some shaved lettuce with a couple pieces of cucumber and onion, 6 small pieces of cubed chicken breast and some yoghurt sauce. My husband got the lamb Kharahi which is basically a small bowl of spicy stew with less than 5 pieces of cubed lamb. The disappointment was not in the taste of the food, but the quantity of it. For $11.99 they could have afforded to give me half a chicken (I would have settled for 1/4) and my husband should have been told that the portion was not enough for a meal but an addition to it. The dishes were flavourful, but for the price, I was NOT impressed.
We were all still wondering if there was more food to come once we saw the plates.
Would I return? Not unless their either drop their prices or increase the amount of food. -

Hugely disappointing and overpriced.
Reading these reviews, I recommended this place to my friends, and wish I hadn't. First, the menu prices advertised on their website are incorrect - just about everything was a dollar more.
Our server, a relatively nice fella, was easily distracted which resulted in pitiful service. And our order got cocked up.
I ordered the Chicken Tikka Qtr Leg and Kebab combo, asking for parathas and NO rice. I got rice - lots of it, soaking in oil. And one kebab the size of a crayon. My friend ordered the Malai Tikka and Kebab combo, which came with a salad that consisted of cut up cucumbers, onion and lettuce carelessly scattered on the plate, and covered with some sort of sweet-tasting sauce. Odd.
$45+tip later we left and walked over to Silver Spoon to order a takeaway biryani.
The establishment itself was clean and busy, but the food portions and taste was not worth the money. -

One of the best pakistani resturant. Little expensive though.
We ordered chicken shashlik, chicken malai kabab, tandoori paratha. Though I have not seen any restaurant in canada which has real Lahori taste in its food but this one was very close to it.
I really like the Tandoori Paratha's and the chatni which they serve .. -

BBQ is very nice, especially seekh kabaab and paratha are quite authentic, Behari kabaabs are as behari as it could get (coming from someone with lots of behari friends). Chicken Karahi is very good too, the portions are a bit small, food is a lil pricey but definitely worth the money. Weekends can be quite busy, so get there early.
