“We were planning a trip to Ajax/Pickering area for some errands and were looking for a spot for lunch.
(Preferably Fish & Chips). Did a quick Google search and this place was allover the place. This place was FANTASTIC!!! Probably the best Halibilut I've ever had. Crispy and batter stayed on the fish. Fries were also good. We Also ordered a side of Scottish Bread with butter. Service was excellent as our water glasses kept being topped off.Decor was interesting with all the walls covered with Scottish memorabilia. A little pricy but you get what you pay.for. And Oh....tons of tartar sauce packages.”
“We made it back to extreme burrito after a busy 3 months. We wanted something that was healthy and great tasting and they didn’t disappoint. The people are so friendly and the place is very clean. The food is so fresh and tastes great. And the lunch specials are a really good price. They have the specials on 7 days a week and for 4 hours each day. It is definitely a wonderful place for a meal whether it be lunch or dinner. I would give this place a 5 out of 5”
“We have gone to Amicis since its opening and have nothing but great things to say about it! Just wanted to share our recent experience with my daughter's wedding dinner. We had 60 people, a 5 course delicious meal, table service for drinks and everything was amazing!! Hot food beautifully presented, cold drinks, the friendliest staff who were so attentive that many of our guests commented and thanked them! We were thrilled with Ada who managed all of our requests, and was there to oversee and assist the top notch servers on our special day! Such a positive experience!! Can not say enough good things about it!!”
“Andrew was our server yesterday and he was fabulous. He’d clearly served many families with young kids before and his timing, suggestions, and execution were perfect. The rest of the staff were really friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was hot and fresh-tasting. We’d only ever been to the Scarborough location before which has always been a little lacking, but this Pickering location is clearly managed really well and we were all very satisfied with our decision to come here. Thanks!”

“I recently had a fantastic experience at this Subway location. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly staff member who took my order quickly and with a smile. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean, from the dining area to the food prep station, which is always reassuring. The service was impressively fast—my custom-made sub was ready in no time, and it was perfectly constructed with fresh ingredients. This spot truly excels in combining great food, speed, and exceptional customer service, making it one of the best Subway visits I've had.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here for a birthday celebration, and I must give a special shoutout to Mellanni, our server. From start to finish, she made the evening incredibly memorable.
Mellanni was not only attentive but also genuinely engaged with our group, ensuring that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Her personal recommendations were spot on; she knew the menu inside and out and helped us pick dishes that perfectly matched our tastes. Each suggestion turned into a delightful culinary experience.
Her friendly demeanor and professionalism added a warm touch to our celebration, making everyone feel welcomed and special. It’s rare to find a server who combines expertise with a personal touch so seamlessly.
Overall, I highly recommend requesting Mellanni if you visit. Her exceptional service truly enhanced our birthday dinner, and I look forward to returning to enjoy another meal with her guidance!”

Generous portions, beautiful presentation, and friendly service make it on those restaurants you can't wait to come back again. Would recommend the the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice and the Chicken Pad Thai.”

“I visited Mary Brown’s today (July 15th) around 6:30 PM. The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and fresh. The person working as the cook did an amazing job. He is clearly hardworking, smart, and always maintains high standards. I visit this location frequently, and every time he’s working, the food and service are consistently excellent. I’m always satisfied with his work and truly appreciate the effort he puts in. He definitely deserves recognition!”

“My colleague was hungry, so he suggested Chewy's Grill, as I had never heard of it or been there and it was close to work, so why not! I ordered a pulled pork poutine and he had a grilled club wrap. My colleague enjoyed his wrap, he gets it all the time. My poutine was great for the size I got, it was a lot. I shall save the rest for my hubby to enjoy later. He's a poutine fanatic! Great Job Chewy!”
“me my friend and my brother came here last night we only had 20 dollars but the kind loving and caring owner gave us 2 whole jerk chicken meals. the chicken was so good with the rice and the atmosphere was so clean and wholesome also the service was fast and kind this place deserves more love”
“Delicious food friendly warm service reasonable prices and most importantly clean and sanitary place. The pita they use is amazingly crispy and light. The fries are seasoned to perfection And they have lamb shawarma!!!!! Not many places offer that. Highly recommend.”
“I had a great time dining in at BarBurrito! The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients, and the flavors were spot on. The service was quick, and the staff made me feel welcome. I'll definitely be back! As someone from the USA, I was impressed by the variety of options at BarBurrito – even more choices than Chipotle!”
“Went to Wow Wing for their all-you-can-eat wings ($23.99) and it was worth it! Halal wings, free parking, and some of the flavors were absolutely fantastic. I managed 35 wings (was aiming for 50 😅) but since I went a bit late and the waiting time between rounds was long, I had to cap it there.
One thing I noticed was that the waitress herself had to serve the entire restaurant, which didn’t make much sense and probably added to the waiting time. Personally, I didn’t enjoy the Cajun flavors, but everything else hit the spot. Overall, a solid choice if you want a wing night with variety.”
“Working the area I was looking for a new spot to eat during my lunch hour. I just got to say I am instantly hooked on the eggplant sandwich with sweet peppers. The eggplant sandwich is absolutely amazing ... I had it three times this week. Many blessings to the Belaggios staff ... see you at lunch.”
“Wonderful experience! This family owned restaurant is a great place to visit for authentic Vietnamese food. The pho noodle soup is fresh with lots of toppings. The rice dishes as re good as well. The service is excellent as they check on you constantly. Stephanie is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“Visited Dal Roti in Pickering and absolutely loved the food! The flavors were authentic and satisfying. Special thanks to Megha for her excellent service she was attentive and welcoming throughout. The complimentary gulab jamuns on the occasion of Rakshabandhan were a sweet touch that made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this place!”

“I recently visited Kandahar Kabab in Pickering, drawn by its reputation for flavorful Afghan cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of grilled meats, rice platters, and traditional sides, with standout items like the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chapli Kabab, and Lamb Shank. The portions were generous, and the meat was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mango Lassi was a refreshing complement to the meal. However, the experience was a bit inconsistent. While some staff were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. Wait times for food can be long—even when the restaurant isn’t crowded. Huma was the best! always smiling and ready to serve customers. The ambiance is casual, leaning more toward a takeout vibe than a dine-in destination. Prices are on the higher side for the portion sizes, but the flavor and authenticity of the dishes can make it worthwhile”
“Have shopped at the locations in Port Perry,Oshawa Mall & Pickering,all a delight,friendly staff,great food & great selection. My only complaint is,I am putting on weight with all the sweet stuff I am consuming. Would highly recommend. a little bit of home from home.”

“Instagram ad turned into a great lunch. Options for sushi, sashimi and deliciously seasoned meats. Sides were on point with spicy kimchi coming out on top. Salmon sashimi was really good. Its great having an AYCE bbq place this good in Pickering not having to drive out to Toronto or Markham. Making this our go to from now on for Japanese BBQ.”
“I'm an absolute vegetarian guy. Govardhan thal is a 100% vegetarian restaurant run by a gujrati lady. It is an extremely satisfactory find for me. They have a buffet, a take out thali and other indian snacks.
I always choose take out thali, it is very reasonably priced for 10$ and gets me 4 fresh hot chapatis with ghee, option to choose two hot sabzi from four options, option for plain rice or pulao rice and one option to choose from three dal/currys including gujrati speciality. Also , there's an option to choose from sweets in the end. My favorite is hot gulab jamuns.
Overall really really satisfied, thank you so much for providing such good vegetarian food and letting eat the takeout at restaurant while food is hot. Must visit if you crave for homely food. May god bless aunty ji. Thanks 👍”
“Alice was professional and the food and service was excellent. Lovely clam chowder soup. Lady, young girl escorting us to to our seat. had a friendly attitude and her eyes showed her enjoyment of her job.”
