This is a very friendly Afghan takeout place and butcher shop. Our meals were wonderful. A bed of aromatic rice with melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket for my wife, a bed of rice with chicken and beef kebabs and chicken thighs for me. Plus a salad for each of us. Well cooked, well seasoned and overall delicious. It's more takeout than restaurant but they do have tables, inside and outside, if you can't wait to get home. Friendly staff, great food and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Loved the food. Place has both food and you can buy meat. Everything is halal. Only takeout. No dine in option. Lot of parking. For large orders make sure to order ahead as it would take time. Excellent customer service. We ordered the chicken items.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Butcher’s Grillhouse in Barrie is hands down my favorite spot for top-quality Halal meats and amazing food. I always get my chicken from here — it’s fresh, tender, and tastes way better than anywhere else. Their beef cuts are done fresh right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. My absolute favorite is their mushroom burger (they call it something fancier on the menu) — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the quality is always consistent. If you want fresh, halal, high-quality food in Barrie, this is the place to go!

If I were to sum this place up in one word it would be QUALITY. Kabli Palaw is officially my favourite food. Rice is so tasty and meat so tender and juicy. Highly recommend you try it. I have ordered both fresh meat and take out and the quality of the meat is so good. I especially love the burgers for take out. This place will definitely be at the top of the list for me to grab a bite.
