Fantastic place, amazing food, I have come here 3 times and have never been disappointed, only delighted. I even had my 29th birthday here and the owner really went hard for the birthday song. All of my guests loved this place too!!

You may have seen this restaurant featured in BlogTo when it opened last year- and all I can say is- go and see it for yourself!As someone who grew up eating Southern Caucasus cuisine, I was so excited to see this restaurant open in this neighbourhood. As a huge bonus, they can accommodate vegans and vegetarians which I find is super rare for this type of cuisine!From the very moment you come in, you get a sense of a classic, old school vibe. Azerbaijani music plays on the speakers, the space has many family-style sitting booths, and it has the cutest decor I’ve seen in a long time.But what really gets you is the food. This cuisine profile is relatively unknown to most people, but Old Avenue really puts this region’s food on the culinary map. I started my lunch with Uzbek Plov, Cabbage Rolls and some Olivier Salad- and it was absolutely mouthwatering. As I’m writing, I’m thinking about the vibrant flavour profiles and the tantalizing scents. We then had the Pide (kind of like a pizza) which I LOVED! We topped it off with lahmajoon, dolma and kutabi, all truly incredible dishes worth a spot on your table.Just when I thought I couldn’t eat any more, out came the Georgian khingali- which is kind of like a much more delicious stuffed dumpling. Holy moly. I’m still thinking about it. I’d come back for the Khingali alone!!The owner, Esther, is a wonderful woman who takes a lot of pride in making her restaurant a very special place. Chef Mahmud prepares these dishes with a lot of care and effort- the two make an absolutely dynamic duo, both hailing from Azerbaijan. This restaurant is a MUST VISIT in Toronto, no question.Are you still reading this? Go make a reservation before it’s booked up! ?Vegetarian options: Old Avenue has rolled out a VEGAN menu which is absolutely delicious! The following dishes can be made vegan: Georgian khingali, lahmajoon, cabbage rolls, dolma, kutabi, salads, Uzbek Plov and variety of salads (Including Olivier)!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Vegetarian
