“The meat platter was extraordinary. The highlight was the brisket. Loved the ribs, lamb, chicken and sausage. The service was very good. The chef visited our table. The establishment is bright and clean. Very inviting. We would highly recommend it to everyone!!”
“I love Eat Alleys as a Halal restaurant, satisfies my needs and desires. Food is extremely delicious and the attention to details is great from the flavours of the burgers, to topping offerings, portion sizes, quality of buns, and cleaning style of meat. Since owner is from Hyderabad India, I would love to see Indian burgers' options more so in the meat category, shami burger, chapli burger, Seekh Brger, Nargisi Burgers, Chicken Maharaha burgers and on and on it goes. Washrooms are very clean and staff ensures quality is always up to the standard. The prayer room is really helpful for Muslims as well. I love the portion size as it is very filling, and satisfies me as well. I would encourage you to make your fries more more crispy. Please please please continue to maintain the quality of food and atmosphere offered at the Eat Alleys. May ALLAAH give you barakah. Ameen.”
“Amazing design wow is all I have to say!!! I live 5 hours away and I will make sure I order my cares from west best cakes!!! Thanks you sooooo much!!!”
“It's an alright pizza. On the better side. My only complaint is the sauce. It's very thick, there's too much, it's very strong and it becomes the star. Good crust Lots of cheeseI will definitely try again, but I will remember to order light on the tomato sauce”

“Today, I went to Jerusalem Shawarma in Southwest Edmonton with my family. In addition to the delicious food, I want to highlight the excellent customer service provided by Fatih, whose kind smile and warm welcome, along with complimentary tea and baklava, made our experience even more enjoyable. I also want to thank the kind and friendly young woman who took our order. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely return to enjoy their delicious food and the respectful, warm hospitality of the staff.”

“Jerusalem shawarma was worth it .Food is good .Busy place , lot of people in the kitchen line but nobody to clean the tables . Front lady is rude for no reason at all.
I came for dine in , but I did take out since I didn’t felt like having it there . If you speak their language , u get special nice service though .
However . As a whole , I liked their food , but need to improve on their service . I will come back again for takeout . Thanks team .”

“A sweet little adventure at Choco N Dip today! My daughter asked to stop by for her favorite treat, and it turned into something special. We were greeted by TikToker Sunshine Melody, got to try some new menu items, and she nearly nailed a timer game — just 0.01 seconds off! The owner came over, cheered her on, and surprised her with free Oreo pancakes (her favorite!) and a mini bottle of Nutella. She left smiling, full, and feeling like a star. Definitely the best 30 minutes of our day. 💛 #ChocoNDip #SunshineMelody #LittleWins #MomAndDaughterTime #SweetMomentsy”

I’ve never made calamari so I don’t know if it’s hard to get it right as I’ve had really tough and rubbery calamari. Sabor’s was exquisite and perfectly done. It was the best meal we’ve had.

“CRAFT Beer Market Edmonton is my go to for great beer and food in a lively yet relaxed setting. The interior is spacious with high ceilings, industrial accents and big screens showing the game. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable about the rotating tap list featuring dozens of local craft beers and international favourites. I started with the kung pao lettuce wraps and soft pretzel with beer cheese dip… both were delicious and perfect for sharing. For mains the ahi tuna poke bowl and crispy chicken sandwich were fresh and flavourful. Their seasonal cocktails and beer flights are also worth trying. The rooftop patio offers a wonderful view of downtown and the atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends or colleagues. With attentive service, a diverse menu and a fantastic selection of drinks, CRAFT Beer Market never disappoints.”

“Food is ok in general. Unfortunately they are more worry asking you how is the food than in the actual service. I bet they came at least 10 times asking about the food. My glass of water was half empty most of the time. I’ve got a refilled once. At the end, we checked the bill and we’ve got charge PST- WTH? I cannot imagine how many other people got charges and didn’t even know! Not impressed! I like most of the food, fried chicken needs it more flavour. The rest was good!”

“The first thing I will say is that we had some trouble finding this automated pizzaria. We wandered around the first (ground) level of Heart of the Robbins building for thirty minutes eliciting several side-glances from young students. This automated pizzaria is NOT in the cafeteria. Go upstairs one level and you will see the machine. (Its about the size of a single wide mobile home). Additionally, the pizzeria is operational 24/7 so don't be dismayed by opening and closing hours of various macewan food vendors.Just some back story on PizzaForno; the machine doesn't actually create the pizza, they are made off-site and stocked in the morning, never frozen. The machine (from an unnamed French manufacturer) puts your selection into a high tech convection oven and blasts hot air on it for 3 minutes before boxing and projecting it like your old copy of Independence Day.Once you find PizzaForno get ready for the most thrilling and satisifying food ordering experience ever. A large touch screen prompts you to choose a type of pizza, typically there are approximately 6 options. My dining companion chose pepperoni, which was half price due to national pepperoni pizza day! The "hamburger" pizza seems like a hit with the locals, since it was sold out. With the half price discount their pizza was only $6.00. I paid a little more for my vegetarian pizza, however it was unsurprisingly worse than the pepperoni. It looked like someone shot the toppings on it with a vegetable shotgun, blasted into in a cluster near the centre of the pizza. The moisture of the vegetables was great enough that it prevented the high quality mozzarella from reaching it's chewy browned potential. Even though their recipes need honing, I didn't dock a star since the quality was obviously still high and the pepperoni pizza was hard to slight; chewy flavorful crust and perfectly cooked throughout.My dining companion and I enjoyed our delicious pizza's in the comfortable seating area next to the pizzeria whilst wondering playfully about the future of food service, and the possibilities of stocking your fridge at home with precooked PizzaForno's (an option if you want to cook it at home and relax on the couch with your feet up) and even the potential of putting a PizzaForno in a park (borden park?). While we embraced the revelations of this emancipatory technology, we watched students bustling about campus. Even if we don't see it on this earth, perhaps one day somewhere there will be an automated post-scarcity economy where beings will be free to eat pizza and fully persue their creative potential.”

“I love Boss Chicken Wings. They almost have all flavors. Also they give healthy wings, (Half baked means no extra oil or less oil). I tried their butter chicken curry, gave instructions according my taste and it was perfect. Their naan bread is too good too. Customer service is top notch. I will highly recommend this spot for pick up or delivery through any apps).”

“I've been eating at subway for over 15 years. And I don't leave reviews often. This is my first ever subway review. When they say subway artist, this is what they're talking about. The subway artist tonight made one the best tasting cold cut combo subs ive ever had, as well as one of the most stunning visual one (wish i went for the italian herb n cheese for the photo). And I can say this is the first time ever I've even considered posting a picture of a sub. And typically I go for the steak n cheese or chicken teriyaki . Give that artist a raise. Can't wait to go again”

Like today I ordered a BLT chicken burger and wanted cheese added. Well i got the chicken burger with cheese and bacon, that’s it.. no lettuce no tomato and no sauce/mayo what’s so ever... also ordered chicken strips no dip in the bag ☹️.. It’s petty stuff but it’s extremely annoying..”

“I was waiting in the parking lot and seen the sign for Rockin Robyns so I decided to take a look at their menu. I can't believe how many options there were! I had a very hard timing choosing, but ended up ordering the perogies for pickup. The staff were so lovely and it came in a bag with a little packet of utensils, salt/pepper and napkin all in one. Once I got back to work I couldn't wait to dive in. Best perogies I've ever had! The bacon was still crunchy, and the spicy sauce they put on is brilliant! (It wasn't too spicy-just enough). Definitely will recommend to others and coming back again.”

“This was a great lunch indeed !!! Wonderful flavours and spices in this chicken dish! The accompanying rice was just delicious! The accompanying spice dip was a bit too spicy hot for me but extremely flavourful! The small side of salad had a very tasty dressing that I enjoyed.
There was too much in this order for me to eat in one sitting. The owner approached me and we had a nice chat about food of course , very very nice lady! I’m excited to return and try the other offerings on her menu … this is a great place to eat. The only downside was that there were a few flys buzzing around me and my food and I just find that very annoying but I do understand it’s sometimes difficult to prevent.
And , no fault of the restaurant but other patrons blaring out loud their cel phones behind me watching “ You Tube Videos” so pitiful that these guys cannot put their phones away when dining , or at least have some common courtesy and spacial awareness. Otherwise , the main thing here is the food is wonderful ! I’ll be back for sure.”

The batter has this lemony/salty flavor and they are really crispy and fresh. 10/10 recommend.”

Egyptian • $$
“You will have to admit, you're getting a great mix of Egyptian and Greek flavors here. Deserves the lengthy review. I believe the owners are a family, in operation for about 2 years and you can really tell from their warm conversations that love goes into the food. The attention is not just a great service experience but a natural feeling of the intention they pour into what is hard work and quality food. Don’t know if it’s fair to say “service” or “atmosphere” or if it should just be called “the passion” expressing itself but you feel the hard work and enjoy the food more. The atmosphere was beyond any expectations as a result. Overall, the experience feels very genuine, making this my favorite place to eat in Edmonton right now. I am compelled by my first time here to highly recommend Pharaohs Restaurant—it’s a must-try.
The menu is small but well-chosen, all of what you would expect and want to eat in the genre of three cuisines, so everything is made just right. We ordered the platter for 2-3 people, but honestly, it’s enough for three. They did warn us and explained everything clearly, that you’ll want to save room for dessert. We were too full to enjoy dessert properly because each dish was so good—you’ll want to savor each one! Still, that just means you'll have to come back and try more and fit dessert. The Italian is woven in and fantastic! It’s a true fusion that stays true to its roots, without sacrificing authenticity. I’ve had good Greek food and homemade Egyptian dishes before, but I didn’t expect them to blend together so seamlessly. This is not Michelin Star but not your everyday home cooking either.
I know I have hyped it up and I clearly enjoyed it but it deserves this level of extended review even just for the next aspect I want to highlight. The cozy, authentic vibe is hard to find after the pandemic changed how many restaurants operate, but this one really stands out as what I only now innately remember was an excellent dine in experience pre-pandemic. Almost would not mind being stuck anymore on Gateway and Calgary Trail knowing I can just eat dinner here! The options in this part of town have not disappointed and many deserve a visit - but this one most of all.

“I have eaten here many times. Today was my first Omakase experience. Out of the 20 courses I only didn’t enjoy 2-3 of them however I was more than happy to still finish them. The fish here is fresh, unique and delicious. The staff is warm and welcoming. I do feel you get better value for lunch here vs the Omakase dinner but it is a great experience that I could only justify once in a blue moon for the price. For me this is the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. You will not be disappointed going here but make sure to make reservations as it is small.”

“The food was very good, however the portion sizes are quite small for the prices. Went with a small group of 4, with a $400 bill and none of us were actually full when all was said and done.

“We had an absolutely fantastic dinner experience. From the moment we were seated, the evening felt truly special. Our server, Jon, deserves all the kudos! He was attentive, kind, and made the whole meal feel seamless and enjoyable. The food itself was top notch. The prime rib was cooked perfectly. It was tender, flavorful, and served exactly as husband ordered. The ahi tuna was equally impressive, fresh and beautifully prepared with great balance in flavor and texture. One of the highlights of the night was the tableside preparation of the Caesar salad. It added a classic, elevated touch to our dining experience. There's a genuine difference with the fresh, made-right-there dressing. Overall, everything, from the service to the meal, was exceptional. Highly recommend as a special occasion. A fine dining restaurant like this is a callback to personal service, thoughtful touches and great food. A big thank you again to Jon for making the evening outstanding.”

“Absolutely loved this place!
If you’re looking for authentic South Indian flavors with a wide range of pure vegetarian options, this restaurant is a must-visit. The dosas are perfectly crisp, the chutneys are fresh and flavorful, and every dish feels made with care and love.
The staff is polite and welcoming, and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable — ideal for a relaxing meal with family or friends. It’s refreshing to find a spot that celebrates vegetarian food without compromising on taste or quality.
Highly recommend trying their Paneer Bhurji and Gotala Dosa which you cannot find anywhere else in Edmonton 😊
Will definitely be coming back again soon. 🌿✨”

“TikTok made us try it, and I have to say it was amazing! We went for a date night and came home to tell the extended family that we need to all go there again. We had the platter for 2, and it definitely could easily feed three! Pretty sure we have enough leftover for both of us for tomorrow. I don’t think there was a single item we would say we didn’t enjoy. The complimentary tea was a nice added touch. A true hidden gem in YEG! I almost want to gate keep on this place, but they deserve the praise. Service was timely and stellar. Tables are spacious.”

My glass of water was half empty most of the time. I’ve got a refilled once. At the end, we checked the bill and we’ve got charge PST- WTH? I cannot imagine how many other people got charges and didn’t even know! Not impressed! I like most of the food, fried chicken needs it more flavour. The rest was good!”

“10/5 would eat here all day every day if I could afford to LOL. My mind was blown at all that was on offer. Whoever your chefs are my hats off to them. The food the flavors the pairings the combinations of flavors the presentation on top of an atmosphere carefully curated into a cozy lively Japanese style tapas bar with the most stellar customer service from your servers you can't go wrong here, you just can't. My brain had fireworks going off the entire time I was there tasting everything I had ordered from the duck and beef tataki to the 5 assorted sashimi and the aburi saba. It was "chef's kiss". If you're new to Edmonton and love Japanese styled and inspired foods you HAVE TO COME HERE. Reservations highly encouraged we got lucky to get in as quick as we did without one, but this place is VERY popular.”

“I have eaten here many times. Today was my first Omakase experience. Out of the 20 courses I only didn’t enjoy 2-3 of them however I was more than happy to still finish them. The fish here is fresh, unique and delicious. The staff is warm and welcoming. I do feel you get better value for lunch here vs the Omakase dinner but it is a great experience that I could only justify once in a blue moon for the price. For me this is the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. You will not be disappointed going here but make sure to make reservations as it is small.”

“Sobra naman ginalingan ng chef ang bopis, sisig at okoy. Perfect ang blending ng flavors. Madami na ko na-try sa iba. Pero ito yun babalik balikan ko kahit anlayo layo mo. I already tried their sinaing na tulingan too and it is sooo good sana lang me kasama pork fat. I like their Silvanas too because it is not so sweet. Leche flan is big. However, I am looking for certain standard of creaminess lang but it still passed my standards. Mataas ang standards ng lola mo. Foodie girlie here😂. How I wish there will be Manila Grill Express in the West kasi dinadayo pa kita talaga. Minsan walang bopis sa pag visit ko and that makes me so sad. Ang hirap mo mahalin. Maybe next time I will call to reserve. Overall, ikaw na ang happy place ko Manila Grill Express. Feels like home everytime I visit you. Feeling ko gusto ko lahat i-try and nagpa panic buying ako dahil anlayo mo🤭.”

Our 10 yr old wanted dumplings and the 6pc Gyoza was perfect for him. All ingredients were super fresh, avocados were the perfect ripeness.

“I have been ordering Royal Pizza (delivery) from the Hys location for many years now, and OMG this location never disappoints. The salad is always so fresh & crispy, the pizza's are always still hot, right out of the oven (be careful) and very delicious with lots of toppings and just the right amount of oozing cheeze. The delivery lady (I'm sorry I forgot her name) she is always so lovely and friendly. Thank you for being amazing. :) FYI: I never pay attention to people that have the time to leave a long , lengthy, ignorant and mean review, I make my own judgment. Hope when you read my "POSITIVE" review, you will do the same.”

“Mokha Coffee House lives up to its name — bright, warm, and full of life. A welcoming Yemeni-inspired space with great drinks, local baked goods, and friendly staff. Cozy corners, greenery, and natural light make it perfect for conversation or quiet time.
–– For those who enjoy more detail: ––
Bright, sunny, and alive with greenery, Mokha Coffee House offers a welcoming space that blends a unique Yemeni cultural touch with modern warmth — the name fits the space perfectly. The décor, live plants, and thoughtful layout create distinct experiences in every corner: the quiet intimacy of the loft, the cozy restaurant section with its private nooks, and the four-walled glass room surrounded by light and foliage.
Drinks are crafted with care — the Spanish Latte (quarter sweet), the chai-spiced Adani tea, and the smooth, rich coffee all stand out. Most of the baked goods are made in-house, and those that aren’t are baked locally in Edmonton — a lovely nod to community pride. Friendly staff elevate the experience even further, offering samples like Adani tea to welcome guests. During warmer months, the outdoor courtyard and water feature add to the uplifting atmosphere, making the café both grounding and inspiring.”
