Two decades on the same corner.
Altona Kabob opened near Yonge and Steeles to bring real Persian and Afghan grill cooking — the long marinades, the charcoal, the mountains of saffron rice — to the north end of the city. Two decades later it's still here, still busy.
“The grill doesn't cool down until the last guest leaves.”
It became a Newtonbrook fixture for one simple reason: it stays open when almost nothing else does. Cab drivers, students and night-shift workers all know the corner — a proper plate of kabob and rice at three in the morning.
