How it started

Three chapters, one kitchen

01

A passion for the real thing

Afghan Chatkhara Restaurant brings authentic Afghan, Pakistani and Indian halal cooking to Castleridge in northeast Calgary. Our journey began with a passion for tandoor bread baked the traditional way and South Asian classics prepared with real spices, real technique and real hospitality.

02

A menu that became local legend

Our fresh tandoor-baked naan — made in front of customers while they wait — sits beside tandoori and Lahori chicken chargha, chapli kabab, chicken and mutton karahi, daal and a side menu of Afghan kabuli pulao and kebab platters. Each dish is prepared with premium halal ingredients and traditional spices.

03

More than meals

We believe in creating memorable dining experiences for families and groups across Castleridge, Falconridge, Martindale, Taradale and Saddleridge. A welcoming halal atmosphere, an on-site prayer space and reservations for gatherings make us a neighbourhood favourite for dine-in, takeout, curbside pickup and delivery.
