this is my third time and I want to keep coming back. it starts with excellent server, especially the supervisor Josh and server Brandon. Both were friendly and chill and made us feel welcome and special. The menu had some specialty items, the brisket was out of this world. combined with their regular items like the Fat tasting appetizer, famous cauliflower and we tried the haloumis cheese with seasonal fruit. all was amazing and delicious. We sat in the patio which was awesome, big tables, good music and overall 5 out 5 stars. Will be coming again soon.

The biggest surprise to me is that you need to confirm your reservation with a credit card and no change policy for the last 2 days. A Michelin star usually has a 24-hour change of mind policy. When I got in, it was a very small diner that was put together on a dime and a very loud one, too. Roast cauliflower was great. Then I had a Beef dish, which to me was a hamburger and cheese between two pitas, with some kind of spice that sent me over the deep end and not in a good way. After that, I suggested to my date that we go for a great dessert elsewhere. The service was fine, the only issue I had was that everyone was dressed differently, and I could not tell who was an employee, maybe an apron or something. I walked around to take a look at their patio and was not impressed with it. To me, it was a letdown.

As always, one of the best places to eat in the city. Top quality food, service and drinks. Could not recommend more!
Sam
Wonderful dinner. The food was creative and tasty. Great place to take a group for a fun night out.

Early dinner date night was perfect. Great recommendations on wine to pair with the smoked steak feature. Relaxed and upbeat. Food was simple and meticulous. Just what we were hoping for. Thanks so much.

Fat Pasha is a gem — delicious authentic food, excellent drinks, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and welcoming dining experience.
We had an incredible experience at Fat Pasha, sharing a variety of appetizers and mains family-style, and everything was delicious. The Whole Roasted Cauliflower was a showstopper — beautifully prepared, flavorful, and so satisfying. The Fattoush Salad, Classic Hummus, Muhammara, and Garlic Labneh were all fresh, vibrant, and authentic, each dish offering its own depth of flavor and balance.
For drinks, I tried the Pemgroni and the Date Old Fashioned, both unique, well-crafted, and perfectly suited to the meal. Everything we ordered was filling, thoughtfully made, and clearly prepared with care.
What truly stood out, beyond the food, was the service. The staff were warm, kind, and incredibly helpful, especially accommodating with the three children we had with us, which made the evening even more enjoyable.
Nothing special. Dated house, residential. Converted to a restaurant. Could have been demolished and something new and modern could have been built in it's place. But no. Social networking hype. You have to book the table in advance. They take you from the entrance **through the kitchen** to the backyard where the dining tables are, cheaply decorated. Noises from the street - cars, trains, what have they. Food is so-so but very overpriced. I guess if you haven't been anywhere but Toronto you might like it. I don't see what is there to like. Would not recommend.

Was here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. One of the best falafel I’ve ever had. Smoked salmon was interesting as well.
The outdoor patio has a nice ambience especially during summer

This place is an ugly shack with shabby interior and outside patio. I would have expected a cleaner and more sophisticated place for the price you pay.
I first visited a couple summers ago and remember the food being excellent, and enjoyed sitting on the patio especially. I went back recently and, unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to my first. Since it was raining, we sat inside, but the space felt quite cramped and lacked much atmosphere.
On the positive side, our servers were very kind and helpful in guiding us through the menu. The starters were a highlight, the fat salatim platter and halloumi sticks were excellent. The dips were very flavorful, the pita was nice, and the halloumi was delicious.
Unfortunately, the mains were disappointing. The spicy turkey schnitzel was so dry it was hard to swallow and the beef short ribs were gristly and overly salty. I suspect these aren’t regular menu items, which may have been where we went wrong, as I distinctly remember the chicken shawarma and kefta being outstanding on my first visit.
Overall, I would give it another try, but next time I’ll stick to the main menu staples.

Amazing new find for is in Toronto. Right from the time we entered this gem I fell in love. They make you instantly feel like family by stopping by the table to introduce themselves. The food was amazing ! The Shawarma ‘s were the best we have ever eaten .
