Azhar Kitchen and Bar on Ossington continues to be one of my favourite spots, and my latest visit was another great experience.
While the food is always incredible, we had the pleasure of being looked after by the bartender Shayne. He was a true professional and incredibly passionate about his craft. Instead of just ordering from the menu, I gave him a general idea of what I like, and he crafted a phenomenal cocktail. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely fun...

This place is amazing and in a prime location. The food quality is second to none and represents traditional Mediterranean cuisine. The cocktails are high end and unique served by some of the friendliest staff. The bartender by the name of Shayne was so knowledgeable and uber friendly. Thanks for an amazing experience

Came here for the first time with a friend, and enjoyed our experience 🥹 Our server, Ari, was such a sweetheart and made our visit so nice and memorable. We ordered chicken, rice, and hummus and all were uniquely seasoned and delicious. Cute vibe inside and out, and will definitely be returning :)
