“Sat night at local perfect way to escape the winter blahs. We had dinner and drinks and everyone loved their dinner. Jackie was awesome! Helpful with suggestions and just the right level of service!

The spice levels on the blackened chicken in enchiladas and spicy chicken sandwiches was more than expected but it was good!

There's now a kids menu which made the kids happy!“

“My husband & I came for an early dinner on a weekday to have the quarter chicken dinner special as this is our favourite location where we always came as a family when our kids were younger.
Everything was fantastic! The food was hot & delicious, and the service was great!
We will be coming back with our grandson very soon!“

“I always order pizza from Watan Grill Pizza, and they never disappoint! Their service is fast and efficient, making every order a pleasant experience. I recently tried their Tandoori Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious—bursting with unique flavors that set it apart from other places. The quality of the pizza is consistently top-notch, with fresh ingredients that make all the difference. I’m truly impressed with the taste and overall dining experience. Thank you, Watan Grill Pizza, for offering such amazing food and excellent service. Highly recommended!“

“Great chicken wings and having a pool table is a great addon will defiently be back“

“Fed up with a driver that can come up with an excuse twice now as to why he can't deliver to my door. I paid for delivery and I also included a tip. Called me twice last night for me to come to him. Hung up on him and I waited for delivery.

Thanks

“solid 3.5 stars on the food, but i feel like I may update this after trying them again.

The Old York Tavern feels like an old-man bar with a facelift (which i love) cozy, warm inviting atmosphere, good character. It’s definitely on the smaller side, so tables are very close together, but it kind of adds to the character.

My friend and I caught the tail end of happy hour and the drink + oyster deal is a great value. That said, the oysters were shucked pretty poorly (lots of shell bits), which was a bit of a letdown.

Food-wise, my first experience was a mixed bag but mostly positive.

Mortadella sandwich: Amazing flavour, but I did end up pulling a couple long stringy rinds out of my mouth, which kind of turned me off, but the sandwich itself was great

Chicken liver mousse: I’m not a mousse person, so take this with a grain of salt. The flavour was fine, just not my thing texture-wise.

Stracciatella & flatbread: Hands down the star of the meal. The flatbread was unreal, perfect texture and flavour and the stracciatella with roasted grapes was such a good combo.

Salt & pepper calamari: Good, solid, nothing groundbreaking.

Overall, the meal was good, service was excellent and the vibe is great. I’d definitely go back to try more dishes“

“Ram the late night host is an actual legend!“

“If you like delicious food, then this is the place, as well as for vegetarians there is a large selection.“

“It’s a nice cozy spot in the corner. I like the variety for the combo option. Nice balance of veggies and proteins to choose from. The portion was really good for the price. Some were a bit dry but it’s definitely a nice place to get a balanced meal from.“

“Jim was our server and he was absolutely accomodating to our group of 30 people. He was patient with our orders and kept checking in on us to make sure food and beverages were flowing. He is a very hard worker and we appreciated his efforts.“

“Lovely place with warm service and superb delicious croissants . By all means recommend. Great place to recharge on Danforth“

“If you’re looking for authentic, flavor-packed shawarma, Orfus Wrap & Grill is the spot. I just had the shawarma plate and the portions are incredible. The meat is perfectly seasoned and juicy, the rice is fluffy,. and their garlic sauce is elite. You can tell everything is fresh. It’s easily one of the best value-for-money meals in the area. Friendly service and consistent quality—I'll definitely be back!“

“Not exaggerating - best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Crispy, juicy, full of flavour, and not oily. Fries are crispy and delicious too. Great portions, great price.

Better than Mary Brown, KFC, Popeyes, Jollibee. Will 100% be back.

(I should have taken a better photo!!)“

“Great food and our server Connie was sweet, friendly and gave us great service. Good portions and quality food. Thank you!“

“Amazing Food!“

“Very good service and good!“

“The owner/chef used to be the head chef at a fine Italian restaurant so all the dishes are good and some are exceptional - like most of the soups from the soup of the day and the breakfast dishes.“

“Always a great time! The service is top-notch, the staff are always welcoming, and the music and vibes never miss. It’s more than just a bar—it’s a true Toronto staple and an important part of the community. 10/10 would recommend, every single time.“

“This place holds a special place is my heart. Such a staple in the community and it continues to be! This place to me will be forever known as Harry's to me, thank you for keeping it alive all these years, it was nice to visit again as grown man with my kids, last time I was there I would see my 4th grade teacher Ms.Sundae having a beer 27 years ago!“

“I ordered the wedding soup take out. $7.99 but the paper cup they give you is minuscule. Should be at least double the size for the price they charge. What a rip off. Too bad because I like there food overall“

“Great place to have dinner,food is always fresh and consisted.Atmophere is great,staff is excellent.Kareoky on Fridays is so much fun.“

“I was attending Toronto Pride this past weekend and found this beautiful hidden gem and the staff were so friendly knowing that I was alone. fantastic food and fun drinks“

“Amazing staff, great food,“

“Wonderful place on a Saturday afternoon, sunny or cloudy. They are great staff. It can be slow because there is one employee on. BUT that is ok with me as I want to relax. Having more than one server is not justified. I hope people understand this when going in there. 😎“

“I did not expect the portions per order.
It was huge!
Busy place, specially on breakfast. No wonder, Lots of people are visiting this place.
It was crazy! Hahaha
Service crews are well attentive. (Sorry, missed their names)

Well, canadian breakfast, pancakes, etc. Total of four plates and almost finished everything alone.

See the photos posted.“
