The food was authentic and full of rich Persian flavors. The rice was perfectly cooked and fragrant, and the kebabs were tender and well-seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like traditional Iranian cuisine should be.
The staff were friendly, respectful, and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, it was a very satisfying dining experience, and I would definitely recommend Lahijan Restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Persian food.“

It’s hard to find barbecue this authentic in the area. If you’re craving real deal meat and great sides, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Great family dinner at Kobi! They’re doing a takeout menu during the current lockdown, too, if you want some Korean BBQ meat packages.“

I especially recommend squid fried rice to those who like spicy food.!!“

“We came because you have good reviews. We found out that Gyu Hito is an amazing go-to-place for delicious Japanese AYCE BBQ! The restaurant has a modern feel to it and the staff is incredibly attentive to our food needs. Such good service! The food itself is so tasty (so many different types of seasoned meats) and there are many yummy sides you can order as well! The most thing I like is the fruit tea, best combination with BBQ. Dessert is also something to look forward to because you can choose your favourite Melona popsicle and have it with a sweet creme brule dessert!“

The staff are friendly, respectful, and always make sure customers feel welcome. The restaurant has a nice, casual atmosphere that’s perfect for families or groups. Highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience at Karahi Boys with my friends. Rahul who served us was very friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better.
We tried the Kboys chicken and chicken seekh kabab with naan, both were top-notch and really flavorful. The butter chicken was a bit different from what I expected compared to India, but I understand the taste here can vary.
Overall, a solid place for good Pakistani-style food and great service 👍“

“There’s a reason why this restaurant gets to survive many years while other places keep changing owners. It keeps an almost perfect pricing strategy that matches its quality of food while surprising its customers’ taste buds.

Service is great, although it takes a while for them to prepare our orders, which are again totally worth the wait!“

“Letter of Feedback for BIG BONE from
Francesco Rizzo

Dear BIG BONE Team,

I wanted to share a quick note about my recent visit. I ordered a variety of barbecue meats, including chicken wings and a pulled pork sandwich. They also have ribs rack of ribs and etc… The taste was amazing—the wings were great, and the French fries were very crispy not at all oily very nice texture .

Massimo,at the order desk, was very nice and explained everything clearly, especially since it was my first time. I would rate the overall experience 8/10. The space is a bit small, but it was very clean, and I opted for a to-go order. The atmosphere is nice, with two big TVs adding to the vibe.

Thank you for the delicious barbecue. I’ll definitely be back to try more items from your menu.

Best regards,
Francesco Rizzo“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“I have been getting big bone by delivery for about 6/7 years, only have went in a handful of times and last night I went a half hour before closing, they were still having such a nice attitude when typically when you go right before closing the workers arent to happy but not them! I got the big bone combo to share with my partner and they put extra wings, ribs and corn bread for us which was a significant difference in the amount of food split I thought that was extremely nice and on top the food is ALWAYS delicious especially the Markham location.
Thank you so freaking much!“

“Had an amazing meal here! Ordered the 锅包肉 (Guo Bao Rou), 香辣肉丝 (spicy shredded pork), and lamb skewers. Everything was delicious — the Guo Bao Rou was perfectly crispy and tangy, the spicy shredded pork had just the right kick.Great service and cozy atmosphere too. Highly recommend!“

“This is probably the 5th time I come here and I have always been served professionally, the food is fresh, tastes amazing, the restaurant looks great and it’s clean, including the bathroom. You don’t wait a long time for your food, it comes up super quick if its not too busy.“

“Had the roast and BBQ pork. This is to die for. It's busy at lunch time for good reason.. people drive from far away to get here for this.. even the rice has a special taste. And prices.. a double dish cost me 13.. and I can not eat it all.. so many other foods as well chicken duck. You just have to come.. cash only.. but we'll worth the wait.. show up early. 11 am you order and wait.. at 12 you are waiting out the door.. its that good.. it will not disappoint“

“Had this spot in my try out list, went with the BBQ Brisket fries. Brisket was tender and full of flavor, fries were nice and crispy which paired well with the juiciness of the beef. Coleslaw added that extra crunch, and was all brought together with their hot mayo sauce!

Overall 9/10 will probably bump it to a 10 when I drop by again 🙂‍↕️“

“i love going here, rly good and fast service if u want any extra add ons or to change the spice level if needed - i lowkey be craving the lamb and duck skewers all the time and i recommend those! my sister is OBSESSED with the cold noodles here as well“

“have a lovely experience with this restaurant. We suppose to be eating at gyubee however we are unable to book a reservation on time. and we try the chako, the service 100% satisfyinfg. accomodate us from the time we sat on the table. replenish the meat and condiments and ask for time to time if we needed something. Worth the money and experience I might say. must a try for anyone looking for bbq grill and were looking forward to be back again. thanks!“

“good food neat and clean“

“The food was pretty interesting, and I wasn’t expecting to find some skewers like these. Even the ones I wasn’t sure about tasted good!

The food arrived a bit later, especially since other diners had already received theirs. The candles were a bit odd—I’m not sure if an IKEA-style unscented candle would affect the food, but it was fine.

But the food is tasty, so I’d definitely recommend trying it out sometime.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the value at La Parrilla. The quality of the food is outstanding, especially considering the reasonable prices. The enchiladas were rich and satisfying, and the salsa had just the right kick. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food without breaking the bank!“

“I will recommend great restaurant“

“We went late last night to take a chance and see how the gluten free options would be as a celiac. We did call ahead and they said we can let our serve know at the time.

Our server brought out the allergen sheet for the sides and the supervisor was very welcoming and informative on what meats were ok to eat without any gluten and cross contamination - they were pretty well informed which is refreshing. Was our first bbq experience after the diagnosis and we were happily pleased!

Can’t wait to be back!“

“Love this place. The lady who made our order was lovely! The lamb skewers were delicious. The salad and rice were well-seasoned. The hummus was so refreshing, and the garlic sauce was creamy and well balanced. Can't wait to go back again!“

“This place is amazing. The owner, Linda was so warm and inviting she made us feel like we were being welcomed into her home. The food also tasted like a real home cooked meal. Everything is homemade including the pastel de nata as you can see in the photo - it was by far the best one I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend!“

“I have been going to this since they were From bathurst&bloor , yonge&wellesley to York Mills. This is the best Korean food. I've always recommend this spot to everyone i talk to and props to Mr and Mrs Kim for thier hardwork. I Always order Yummy Special“

“They specialize in chicken and do it incredibly well. Ordered a whole chicken and it was delicious, came with a red sauce and garlic sauce. The fries were perfect for this meal. Loved their soup (chicken noodle AND lentil) and their cucumber/tomato salad was so fresh. Was having a bad week/month and the young lady at the counter was incredibly thoughtful. There are good people in this world!! The place inside was spotless (including the washroom). Will be back with friends. Thank you!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fillis BBQ is an absolute gem!
Amazing vibes the moment you walk in — fun, welcoming, and full of energy. The food is next-level delicious: perfectly grilled meats packed with flavour, generous portions, and super fresh sides. But the standout is the service — every staff member is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares that you enjoy your meal. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Simply delicious! Great food, great owners!“

“We had an amazing experience at Backyard Smokehouse's buffet yesterday..The food, ambiance, and service were all top-notch..the best we've had in Edmonton so far, and well worth the price..“

“Great Portuguese BBQ chicken, highly recommended!!!“

“Came here on a snowstormy Sunday. There was still a small line but only a 5 minute wait. They only accept cash. Value for money, the food was good! Roast pork was crunchy. I paid additional $2 to get belly. The soup that comes with the order was perfect for a cold snowy day. Not much for service. It’s transactional. They want you in and out fast.“

“Great good with great value“

“Great Chinese BBQ takeout!
I ordered 2 items lunch meal, roasted pork and roast chicken. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and not too greasy. Portions were generous with veggies and the prices were reasonable.
Unfortunately no dine in table.
The staff were friendly. Definitely coming back again!“

“It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming. The staff, Tommy , who is very polite and warm welcome customers. Great place for friends gathering and chatting. Definitely will go again.“

“In the summer, I like to barbecue, but I am lazy. The food before delivery is really convenient, and each food is divided, and it is also vacuum-packed, so I no longer worry about trouble and waste. The most important thing is that my friends think it tastes good. Now I want to barbecue Just buy the barbecue meat from the former food directly!“

“Super delicious flavours!“

“One of my family members said this is the best place for Portuguese food in Toronto. We were hungry so we thought we would give it a try. We phoned through our order and went and collected it and once it was home we tucked in. The food was EXCELLENT! There was plenty to go round and for us all. Highly Recommended!“

“Absolutely amazing experience. Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious. We bought the sample package that included a little bit of everything and we also got the bottomless sweet tea and we were just so pleased with the service and we will be back one day“

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Etob Restaurant cater for our event last night, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their service was exceptional, professional, timely, and full of warmth. Every interaction with their team made us feel like we were in the best hands.

The food? Absolutely outstanding. Their dish was full of rich flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was It truly elevated the entire experience of the night.

And even though this was catering, it’s clear that the same heart and soul that goes into their restaurant dishes was poured into every tray. The quality, taste, and attention to detail were unmatched.

Etob Restaurant brought not only food, but atmosphere their presentation added to the warmth and elegance of the evening. We are so grateful and would highly recommend them for any event or dining experience. 10/10 across the board.

Thank you, Etob Restaurant, for making our evening unforgettable!“
