Fantastic local restaurant. The food is delicious (and plentiful) and the staff were fabulous. They clearly care about their food and their guests. Extremely accommodating with dietary restrictions. Glad I found this place and will definitely go back.

Small space, but wow, the flavours are amazing. Highly recommend, highly suggest that you book ahead of time.
One of my favorite Middle Eastern (this is Israeli) restaurants. Love the 3 choice of dips..the freshly baked bread. Love the husband and wife who run the place. Great food, service and positive energy for reasonable price.

I got two salads for pick-up, they were too simple and with poor taste. The order, despite the simplicity, took 45min to prepare. Maybe some other dishes are better!…

This hidden gem serves up vibrant and flavourful dishes straight from the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean, with a focus on the culinary delights of Israel. The restaurant itself is stylish and comfortable, with a warm ambience that makes you feel right at home. It's the perfect spot for a casual weeknight dinner with friends, a vibrant weekend outing, or even a special occasion.

Our family dined at this restaurant last year and have been reminiscing about it all year, making it a ‘must’ for our annual visit to Toronto. It was exactly how we remembered it.Personal service and amazing food. If you like Mediterranean food, this is the place for you. You’ll walk in and want to eat ‘that smell’ because you’re surrounded by deliciousness.

I went there because Blog TO recommended it as a place with a good shakshuka. But everything about it was a disappointment. The shakshuka was mediocre. The service was unhelpful. And the vibe was not fun.

This place is too good. Get a platter of the dips and laffa. Absolutely fantastic and the service couldn't be friendlier. One of my favorite restaurants I've ever been to. Cannot recommend it enough. I go any time my family is in town and everyone loves it!Vegetarian options: All of the veggie options are absolutely delicious!!
I've lived in the neighbourhood for about five years and I can't believe I've slept on this place for so long. Delicious food, served in generous portions, friendly and authentic service, and relaxed ambience. You really can't ask for more!It's a wonder that this place isn't packed all the time but maybe the locals are keeping the secret under wraps as it appears to be a Leslieville hidden gem. We can't wait to return for future meals and try other things on the menu. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for amazing mediterranean food in the east end!
