Been here several times before the pandemic and the quality has definitely decreased. Perhaps we got an off day but it couldn't have been this bad. Service was almost non-existent and no quality checking on the food dished out to customers. Note, this review is based on the few days before the stage 3 pandemic allowed for indoor dining and we were seated outside in their patio.We got what we believe was kitchen staff providing us service that did not even ask us for side dish options (we were pretty much forced potatoes, would have gotten salad if we could) and really delayed water service. To top it off, our food came with no cutlery (we had to ask), the beer we ordered was expired (see photos, 2020 expiry) and someone's dish had PIECES OF GLASS in their cabbage roll meal (photos of chipped glass in small pieces that could have been swallowed near the green garnish).Absolutely knowing this place could be better, could be amazing but today was absolutely not great at all. They've done better. Avoiding until after pandemic.

The food is really amazing. Everything is definitely fresh and authentic. The borshch was incredible. Only four stars because the service wasn’t that great and it’s kind of old and not upkept; however the table areas and dishes were clean. This place is definitely excellent though and highly recommend!

Amazing restaurant! Both inside and out, the decor is charming. The service was lovely and the food outstanding! The schnitzel really was the best, the sole (we opted for breaded) was perfect, and the pierogie ruskie were great, as well. The price was more than fair for the generous portions. Whether you've had Central European food before or you're looking to try it for the first time, I can't think of a better place in Toronto to visit. We will definitely be coming back!

Our local restaurant in Toronto for a great setting and beautiful food. We fell in love with Izba Restaurant and have been coming back for goulash and schnitzel for the 2 years since we first came. The service is very friendly and we are always well looked after.The decoration makes it a real experience and we are always made to feel like family. Great food, great restaurant!

This restaurant was very cozy and welcoming with delicious food. The pierogie entree and chicken schnitzel were great portions and super yummy while having a great price too. The service was very friendly and always made sure our food was good and we were comfortable. Definitely will be going back for more soon!

I wish I came here sooner! Great food, I had the perogies and cucumber salad. Just like grandma used to make. The decor inside is very interesting, lots of Russian design. The staff was very kind and the food was quick to come. A unique experience that I highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful setting serving delicious, traditional European food. Highly recommend the pierogi entrée, I am obsessed with the caramelized onions on top. Outstanding service, we were served by a very kind gentleman who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Pricing is very affordable as well!

Amazing service. Server was very accommodating and there was a beautiful patio to admire and take pictures in while waiting for food. Such a beautiful experience. Also prices were very reasonable! Worth coming to!
The food is very good and not too expensive, they have a nice patio too. Unfortunately when I have been there, the serving time was very, very slow even though were there only 2 or 3 tables occupied (a couple of times).... Last time new ladies were there and nobody came to us for 20min at least to offer a drink...we found one lady, she was nice, but it didn't help much, nothing still was offered...unfortunately we had to leave..it's a nice place, but no wonder why not too many people go there lately. Maybe I haven't been on days when the owner is there.. Even though the food is great, I'm not sure if I'll come back in the near future... :((
