“Our team from work had a lunch here, and I was amazed by the taste and quality of food. I love Georgian food and have been to every Georgian restaurant in the GTA. This is my new favourite Georgian restaurant hands down. From phali to Georgian lamb kabobs, and especially khachapuri, everything was super-delicious. My colleagues-vegetarians also had plenty to eat there, and were very happy. Super impressed, and will be back for sure.Vegetarian options: great options in soups, appetizers and main course, all authentic meals“
“We got their very impressive appetizers called taste tray and also mix kebab, meat and pepperoni pide for 4 adult and one kid that filled up us plenty!Perfectly cooked and was delicious.Dessert was amazing, the baklava, kenaf & honey milk cake had an excellent texture and so soft & juicy!One of the best Turkish restaurants I have had in a while!“
“Huge portion for the price you pay. I ordered a Havarti Beef Melt ($20) with a side of fries. The sandwich was presented with both sides facing up, so I thought a little weird for a sandwich to be opened but I totally understand why... they were a hefty portion. The beef brisket was tender, and saucy, just the right amount of salt to flavour it up. It would have been better if the Havarti cheese slice (THICK!!!) was more melty. Fries were crispy and pretty thick cut. Overall if you work around this area, Mr Nick's wouldn't be a stranger to you. But definitely worth a try!“
“We recently hosted our special Persian Year party at La Grille. Christina was amazing to work with, so easy going and helpful with planning. The food here is always delicious and incredibly fresh. They had some newer staff so service was a bit slower than usual. But overall we were so so happy with everything and can’t wait to plan our party again next year!“
“This is an honest review for Amrita, the food was really awesome. The worker really made it with love, the spice levels and the flavours in the shawarma was superb. Honestly, it was my first i really appreciated a shawarma. Thanks for the amazing hospitality Amrita !!!“
“Love this place. Although sometimes, not often, but sometimes there is cartilage in the chicken.I went back several times since my last review. It seems to have changed ownership or something because it was awful! I wouldn't recommend this place anymore ?“
“I must say I’m amazed. It’s hard to find a good traditional shawarma and on top of that great quality and great service. This checked off all those boxes and more. And best of all it’s in my neighborhood. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. I hope to enjoy more meals from here from the future to come!“
“I come here at least 1-2 times a week.The hospitality and care of the employees are always so welcoming.The food is always exceptional, breaking my expectations every single time.Whether it be for a solo dining session, family meal, even a snack, I highly suggest and recommend coming here!!“
“I was excited to hear about a place that serves Halifax style donairs so I was real anticpating this one. Now I am not disappointed but feel that are differences between the two I say this because I was born in Halifax, N.S. and donairs is #1 thing that people love. The difference is the thickness of the sauce, thickness of the pita and there is no lettuce added to a traditional donair just white onions and tomatoes to round it out. With these few changes to there donair you can say it would make it more authentic. These donairs are delicious and flavourful.“
“Best branch so far, the guy who handled my food was a short brown guy (most likely south asian) with an earring, golf hat and he also had a tag on his chest that said shift lead, this guy was very kind and professional, and took his time to prepare my wraps heat it properly and wrapped it very well! Aside from that the food was excellent that salad didn’t smell and was fresh…I had a positive experience and thought that the least I could do to support the restaurant and it’s employee is to write this positive feedback!“
“Food was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the Lamb Beyti. It’s rolled lamb, was yummy but cooked medium. I should have asked for medium rare because it wasn’t as tender as I wanted. Eat it fast because the lamb pieces are small and cool quickly. Still it was delicious when it was warm. Tea was free surprisingly and free is always good.“
“We wandered in and had the best surprise- a wonderful experience. Delicious meal, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Best of all, quiet enough to have a conversation we will be back. The only negative is that it’s a bit pricey although very good.“
“Always a favourite of ours! We have been going here for about ten years and the food is always great, the service fast and efficient. We couldn't get a reservation at first because it is so popular but they squeezed us in . We were having a late celebration of my dad's 89th birthday and they gave him a cake, sang him Happy Birthday and he was loving the attention! Thank you for a great evening...we will always come back! ?? PS. The Garides Saganaki is the bomb!! ?“
“Always delicious halal chicken, hummus, baba ghanush, and freshly baked bread. I will come back again and again for it. My favourite place! Customer service is superb, food comes out fast and the owner comes and checks on you. Also, the owner started playing jazz music here lately, and it's been such a cozy vibe with fire owen and rain outside. I've been coming with chess set to play with my friend here and don't want to leave. Love how warm and welcoming this place is. If you don't want to cook at home, go and have food at this gem of a restaurant. It would make you happy.“
“I love the staff they always make my day. Greet everyone with a smile. The food is outstanding! Even their coffee is one of the best I've had!!Vegetarian options: Their falafel are to die forKid-friendliness: They have highchairs and schnitzel with fries is my nephew's favorite“
“I don't know how it took me this long to find this place but I already can't wait to go back! The food was DELICIOUS and the service was incredible. Their house marinated olives left us begging them to start selling them! Brisket and Salmon were beyond delicious. Cannot wait to go back!“
“We slipped in last night and it felt like being at a family party! Lots of incredible food, families laughing, live music, and feeling like you’re with friends is exactly the cosy, homey experience we found here. A special thank you to Tommy. He took excellent care of us and we can’t wait to go back and visit again soon.“
“Food is tasty and fresh always! Top this with the friendly and helpful service from the owners and you got yourself a customer for life! Not too many places nowadays that serve great food and good serving sizes so this is a gem of a restaurant ?“
“Love the place. Really nice food, clean and the food is amazing. Been there twice with my parents and we are already in love with it. Will be back for sure again. I love the decor. Very inviting and the owners are really nice. The chef is amazing. This is going to be my favourite spot to go and have my morning coffee, and just make it a morning routine, sitting outside on the patio, under a nice umbrella, having my coffee and some Turkish breakfast before I start my day.“
“Absolutely amazing food at a great price! Lots of options to choose from and ingredients have always been fresh every time! Would highly recommend anyone in the area to definitely try out the different options on the menu.Service is also very fast and friendly. The owner always takes the time to ensure each order is prepared and accurate per specifications. You can be in and out very quickly as they do a very fast job, yet making sure your food order is accurate.Overall, very pleased with both the food and service and encourage everyone to try out one of the best shawarmas you can you get your hands on in the GTA!!“
“We live a short bus ride away and our friends live round the corner, so we have had several meals there over the last year or so. Every experience has been excellent. Last night we had village salad, pear salad, trout and lamb shanks - all wonderful, and the free ice cream dessert was a lovely surprise!“
“Had a shawarma wrap and a few falafels to go. Perhaps the best shawarma wrap I’ve ever had. Spoke with the owner and he seemed like a very genuine, friendly guy.On the wall is a beautiful mural with a little Easter egg so to speak.I’ll be going back, that’s for sure!Parking: Right out front. Shared parking with other stores. I had no problem finding parking spot right in front.“
“First time eating here and all I got to say is that it is the best swarma I have ever tasted in my entire life. The chicken was so juicy, the sauces at so much flavour, and the rice and fries were so perfect. If I had the money, I would make sure that there is at least open a shop in Vaughan.“
“The food is delicious and inexpensive compared to other restaurants. Very family friendly run business ?Kid-friendliness: The food is delicious and the owners ( husband and wife) are very friendly and accommodating to any food alergies or concerns. Great menu selection with exceptional prices. Perfect for a family on a budget who want to go out for a meal.“
“I got take out last night, rushing to eat before work (salad and chicken shawarma sandwich). It tasted odd... shortly after,, I called the location to tell them, something was off with the ingredients. I wasn't sure of it was the onions, turnips etc. something was left out too long perhaps... and today I am sick as a dog. I've eaten here before. I think they need better quality control on the food... especially being safely stored.. perhaps temperatures..etc“
“I come here to eat often afterschool and to study in the library. I've eaten with them 3 times so far and all three times have been amazing. The prices are extremely good for the amount of food, and the service is amazing. Especially Ali and William!! They're such amazing hospitable people and I wish them the best.“
“Was on an Uber delivery pickup from this location, and as usual, tired and hungry, the guy at the counter gave me the pickup order and also small fries for me to eat with all the tasty sauces on it, that gesture of his made my mood instantly elevated and it was so so tasty I am gonna come with my family here “
“been going here since i went to school down the street about 7 years ago. whenever im remotely in the area i go and eat here. one of.., if not the best shawarma ive ever had in my life. the staff is 10/10 very friendly very kind. food is just amazing as well. always loved this place and always will be a customer. NEVER CHANGE! 10/10!“
“Love this place. The owners and staff are terrific! The quality of food is top notch and they always bring an amuse bouche, some homemade sorbet to cleanse the pallete between courses and then of course a shot of Polish vodka or Lemoncello to top everything off. Would highly recommend!“
“This place is quite the hidden gem. Some of the best food and cocktails in the city. I’ve been three times now (with friends and a date night with my boyfriend) and I can’t wait to go back! If you go, definitely try the Kaghamp, the lamb, and the espresso martini! You can tell the owners put a lot of love and effort into the place.“
“This place is all about the grilled meats. It is basically a butcher shop that will cook the food for you. Most of the meats are perfectly marinated and super succulent. The ambiance is nothing to write home about, but the food is excellent. I have to say the chicken wings may have been the best plain grilled wings I have ever had. No need for any sauce whatsoever! Every dish comes with a choice of rice or bulgur and a salad. I am a big fan of the bulgur for something different. The other dish was a grilled chicken breast skewer. Another home run, perfectly cooked and juicy! A great find while driving through the city.“
“Landwer Cafe is a delightful spot with a cozy ambiance and delicious food. During my recent visit, the standout was our waitress, Aida, whose service was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making our dining experience truly enjoyable. Aida's warmth and efficiency added an extra layer of satisfaction to our meal. I highly recommend Landwer Cafe for both the food and the outstanding service provided by Aida.“
“Had a reservation on a Saturday night early (5pm) to eat at Sorrel. we were looking forward to a very nice family meal and time, since we had not eaten there in a while. What a disappointment. Service was a mixed bag of disorganization and neglect. Table had so many glasses that we could barely place anything else. Waiter then promptly spilled a glass of water. It happens; but the reason why this is mentioned, is that later on we then had to beg for another glass of wine, which never arrived. What ultimately soured the evening, was the fact that we were explicitly rushed to finish our dinner, despite the early arrival and high food cost. Shame as the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is generally quite good. At this price point, there are many other options.“
“My buddy been raving on how good this doner sandwich is and oh man he was right.Freshly made bread/pita to order filled with a lot of beef with fresh vegetables and great sauces.I made a mistake on getting a side of fries too cause the sandwich is massive.Definitely coming back to try the chicken and plates next time8.5/10“
“I come here for a second time around. The food, Ambiance and staff are superb, this is highly recommended. Especially SACO our Server, he is so Funny and very approachable, always takes good care of his Table to make sure everything was fine.“
“They have recently done a very beautiful renovation and great interior design. I love it! Feels so cozy and spacious at the same time! I love it! Food is great, I recommend the hummus appetizer a lot! They still need to work on their vegetarian main course options. I loved the vegetarian appetizers but didn't like the vegetarian main dish. Room to improve that!Vegetarian options: I recommend the vegetarian appetizer a lot! But they still need to work on their vegetarian main course options. I loved the vegetarian appetizers but didn't like the vegetarian main dish. They need to have more vegetarian options as the main course and improve the quality of them too.“
“The servers were friendly and very helpful. The manager visits each table, engaging with the customers and making sure we're happy with the food and the service. The food was delicious and arrived in a timely fashion. I'm definitely returning.“
“Absolutely loved my experience at Pita Lite The food was delicious, and the service provided by Rajdeep and Shubham was exceptional. They were both attentive, friendly, and made sure I had a great shawarma experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“
“Went there with a big group on a weekday night. The arugula salad was excellent! I also enjoyed cif e ciaf. The rabbit meat was tender and could be easily broke apart with forks. Taste of the mushrooms was delicious. However, their specialty fish, red snapper, was not as impressive compared to their other two dishes.Our server was quite friendly and responded promptly to our requests. The ambiance was a bit loud but very nice if you’re looking for an authentic Italian place.“
“Had another great experience at Olio last week. Try the Olio burger - it’s great! The service here is great - very friendly staff. Prices are a touch high but fairly normal given today’s inflation costs. The breakfast buffet is also worth a try.“
“First time at Big Sizzler, and it was amazing! The food was so good, and the staff was one of the friendliest I've ever met. It was my daughter's second birthday today and they went above and beyond by singing her happy birthday, and bringing her out some pancakes. I would highly recommend it. They also have some of the best Eggs Benedict in the city!“
“I don’t usually write reviews but this is one of the best Lazeez locations in the GTA. Food is always consistent and they are very generous with the portions. The staff are very welcoming and kind. I drive all the way to this location even though there is one near where I live in downtown Toronto.“
“One of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant in awhile, Mr. Tahir the owner and the rest of his staff was so hospitable and welcoming and really made my first experience at Mr. Zagros one to remember, his expertise in the food made me so confident in what I ordered which was the adhana kebab platter which was so juicy and tender which is saying a lot coming from an afghan background. I suggest coming here not only for the amazing food but for the second to none hospitality!Dietary restrictions: Halal Options!“
“Sofra Istanbul is a hidden gem in Vaughan where you're in for a treat. The 5/5 stars are well-deserved for this spot that blends amazing service, mouthwatering Mediterranean and Turkish dishes, and a cozy vibe. From the friendly staff to the diverse menu, each bite feels like a culinary journey. Bonus points for stress-free parking and the family-friendly setting with those cool low round dining tables. Sofra Istanbul isn't just a restaurant; it's an invite to share good food and good times. Highly recommended! ?“
“Food is consistently well prepared, tasty and of generous proportions. My favourite being the salmon, which is grilled to perfection every time I've had it. The prices are fair and on par with other restaurants in the area. The service is very friendly. It's a family business, and they do truly take care of their patrons. Add to that, that the interior of the restaurant creates a comfortable and inviting ambience and you've got a winner. Oh, and the patio is very cool with a ceiling of grapevines and twinkling lights hanging down the wall. I would warn that it's very loud, unfortunately because it's right on the corner of Pape and Mortimer so traffic's right beside it, but they have created an enclosed space with a look of a garden, which makes up for the loud noise.“
“If I could give a rating higher than 5, I most definitely would! Hosting my bridal shower at Villaggio Ristorante was an absolute dream come true.From the moment we stepped through the doors to inquire about booking the event space, the atmosphere enveloped us in warmth and elegance, with a delightful touch of Italy that made me feel right at home. Pina, along with the owner Tony and the rest of the staff, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the entire process seamless and enjoyable, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the event was tailored to perfection.The ambiance of the venue itself was simply enchanting, offering an intimate setting that set the perfect tone for our celebration. And let's talk about the food! The dishes served during the event were exceptional, each one crafted with care and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delectable spread, along with the impeccable service.I must also mention that aside from hosting my bridal shower, I have dined at Villaggio Ristorante for lunch and dinner on previous occasions, and each time my experience with both the food and service has been nothing short of impeccable.Overall, Villaggio Ristorante proved to be an outstanding choice for hosting any special occasion. I'm already eagerly looking forward to returning for future events and dining experiences. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a memorable event space with top-notch service.Thank you, Villaggio, for making my bridal shower an unforgettable experience. It was everything I imagined and more.“
“We picked Mashu Mashu on a whim as we just wanted a “mostly meat” place to eat. OH MY GOODNESS we could not have picked a better restaurant, we split some appys and meat skewers. I have now saved this on my “go to” list when I’m back in town. On top of the food the service was incredible and we learned it is a family operated business (one of the owners serving our table). I highly recommend Mashu Mashu!!“
“New in town and it's a hit!We come here at least once a week and it's highly recommended.Chicken Doner is where it's at, they fill it up to the brim and they're not stingy with the meat (hopefully it stays that way).The only take away is that when the chicken is shaved, it's not hot when it's added onto the plate.“
“Neighbourhood fixture for at least 3 decades. Definitely dine in, not take-out. Many small dishes usually shared by diners. About five dishes per diner is usually about right. Able to cover vegetarian & gluten-free; vegan slightly more limited but you'll still do fine.“
“A very high quality family owned restaurant with genuineness in their food and service. I got a chance to speak briefly to Abdul (our server) about the restaurant and was impressed by the facts. You don’t find places like this too often, I highly recommend, even for take-outs since their dine-in space is limited during rush hours.“
