“Wonderful restaurant! Apps were amazing (toasted focaccia and burrata), mains were good too (saffron tonnarelli was a bit too spicy for us; the branzino was lovely). Perfect amount of seasoning overall. Great wine selection. Would definitely go back.“
“Love this place. Although sometimes, not often, but sometimes there is cartilage in the chicken.I went back several times since my last review. It seems to have changed ownership or something because it was awful! I wouldn't recommend this place anymore ?“
“Initially, I was going to review this place much lower but I got the sense that they were genuinely kind and great people. I live quite far away and dont get to travel downtown often. But when I do, I always look forward to the food and I was craving a chicken shawarma poutine. This came up as a well reviewed place for chicken shawarma poutine and so I went to try it and as soon as I got in through the door I was greeted with a cheerful and charismatic Hi. I specifically asked if they had chicken shawarma poutine and she nodded then proceeded to punch in my order. When I got it, I noticed that there wasn't any cheese or gravy on the poutine and asked “there is no gravy on the poutine?” And the guy answered back that this dish had enough flavour. I was actually quite disappointed since I was really looking forward to an actual chicken shawarma poutine with gravy and cheese so it honestly had a pretty big impact on my day. But the food was delicious and afterwards one of the workers offered me a free Falafel and said that it was most delicious when eaten fresh and it definitely was. That small gesture really turned the experience around. The food was still good and not too salty, but if youre looking for a shawarma poutine then this is not the place for it. The meal that I got should have been appropriately called Chicken shawarma fries or chicken shawarma on fries“
“Honestly if your getting shawarmasor gyro or anything in that realm, this is the best place to go. Been going there for years and I’ve tried every place in the area, all the chains, and countless places in every corner of the city. you will not find a better place. The portions for price there are amazing (I’m a bigger dude I eat) but the food itself is incredible. Toppings and meat are always fresh (even at end of day). The flavour is a fat man’s dream ?. Never had a bad meal or experience there. Also the owners are hard working awesome people and do everything on there end to make everyone feel welcomed and familiar. It’s a must if you’re in the area. St Lawrence is great but if your getting food this place triumph's. They have a true passion and care for what they do and it shows in every way. MUST TRY!Parking: Right on front near Jarvis, there’s street parking on all the streets around there.“
“The server was exceptional! The starters were fantastic; however the mains were average. Desert and cocktails were also fantastic. The show was nice, but short. If you're planning to do their 3-course meal, then definitely go for the show, as it's a nice bonus with dinner.“
“Have come here three times - every time is wonderfulBrought a friend here who is a cocktail connoisseur and he LOVED itWe’ve had Sai as a server twice now and honestly he’s so unbelievably friendly, extremely attentive, and just an overall genuinely nice human being with the best vibes. Thanks so much for the continued fantastic service!“
“Haven’t heard this kind of service before!! The food was 100/10, service was amazing, we had the pleasure to meet both sous chefs, the fish and lamb were heavenly, and the calamari was nothing like I had before.( believe me, calamari is my go to appetizer in every restaurant, this was simply grilled not breaded but the best calamari I have ever had ) The lamb melts in your mouth, my husband got fresh deboned fish and it was chef’s kiss ?. This place is definitely a hidden gem! We spoke to the chefs and event planner at length, the drinks were amazing. I would ? recommend this restaurant. We went to the lounge after dinner and it was very nice and chill. Michelin status!!!“
“No shawarma place has EVER done this…Me and 4 friends came down from Mississauga at 1 am to try their beef. We’ve had their chicken before but never had their beef shawarma.We called an hour earlier and confirmed they had beef. The guy said yes (they sell out of this quick so we had to make sure it was worth the trip).We headed down. Got there an hour later and beef was sold outtt! I was pretty bummed Ngl. I figured I’d just get chicken again. So me and my friends ordered full meals and then we sat down and enjoyed every second of it. The food is amazinggg. Flavourful, solid portion, incredible price.And a few minutes in, one of the servers comes to our table and drops a plate of beef shawarma for me and all my friends to share! He said he found a few last pieces of beef that he was able to whip together for us and didn’t even charge us for it!That’s what you call going above and beyond!!!Solid customer service, 1000% repeat customer and will continue recommending this place. Not only because of the customer service, but the foood and hospitality is UNMATCHED for a shawarma joint!Best all around experience I’ve ever had in Canada!“
“Let me start by saying I don't care much about shawarma. I'll eat it if its given to me (bc free food obv) but otherwise, I have never actively sought out shawarma in Toronto bc I find it bland and dry. Then we found Chef Harwash and omg my guy, NOW I get it. The flavor profile was surprisingly complex and the chicken was cooked beautifully. Truly a gem this place.“
“My wife and I recently dined and we're a little disappointed with our main course selection. The staff were very quick to notice and were very attentive to rectify the situation. This left a very good impression on both of us so will definitely consider going back next time we're watching a show. Excellent service very attentive good choice for pre-theatre dining.“
“A fascinating blend of an early 20th century European cafe (look and feel) and a middle-eastern restaurant (food).We visited Cafe Landwer for dinner as a group of 6 and ordered a selection of appetizers and main meals. Everyone enjoyed their meal, especially anything with halloumi.“
“I was in the restaurant on the weekday some time between 12 and 2 pm. Very nice place. Quiet at that time. I liked the pleasant smell of roasted meat and spices. The food is amazing. It wasn't something fancy, but rather simple and delicious. I had lamb with rice. The softest meat I've ever tasted in Toronto. Delicious sauce, garlic I think. Would definitely recommend to visit it.Parking: There's an underground municipal parking lot within 1 minute walk from the restaurant. And also municipal parking spots right in front of the restaurant.“
“My roommate and I just picked up Take-out for Family day. I just want to extend my sincere apologies and support to the Lady and Gentleman on shift this evening.While we were waiting for our food, an extremely verbally abusive person made his way inside and to the front counter. He multiple times insulted the Lady, calling her names, threatening the staff over chicken..They were in the middle of cooking fresh chicken and this individual wasn’t having it.The way that both staff members handled the situation was amazing.I personally wouldn’t have been able to keep my cool. Y'all are awesome.I’m sorry I didn’t say anything in defence.I was genuinely worried about getting punched in the face over chicken and fries.“
“Superlative food. Creatively rendered middle eastern food. Presentation of everything was beautiful. The server was patient and very helpful, especially supporting my friend with dietary restrictions. One of the best meals I've had in recent memory.“
“This place is incredible!! Needed a solid meal full of flavour today and this is in the neighbourhood. I would STRONGLY suggest you stop in for delicious eats :) I’m a vegetarian and my partner is omnivorous— we both found things we loved. Great views & awesome friendly staff. Can’t wait to return for our next meal out, or grabbing eats/samosas to go for an event soon !Vegetarian options: The REASON I will return forever — so goodDietary restrictions: All bases covered :) and all flavourfulKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Ramp available“
“We wandered in and had the best surprise- a wonderful experience. Delicious meal, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Best of all, quiet enough to have a conversation we will be back. The only negative is that it’s a bit pricey although very good.“
“This place is a gem!! Not only is the food fantastic but the lovely lady that works here makes you feel like family. Her dedication to her customers goes beyond your expectations. Same is said about her staff. I've come here now more than once and it's become a special place for me. It is about 30 mins away from home, and yet I still will go here whenever I want Shawarma. The homemade soup is yummy (thank you as always) and their home made tahini is SO good!!! Love love love!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pantheon Restauran, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped foot into the establishment, I was enveloped by a fantastic atmosphere that exuded warmth and sophistication.First and foremost, the quality of food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was meticulously prepared, bursting with flavor and freshness. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a delightful culinary journey. The chefs truly exhibit mastery in their craft, elevating ordinary ingredients into extraordinary gastronomic delights.Furthermore, the level of service provided by the staff was impeccable. They were not only efficient and professional but also exuded a genuine warmth and hospitality that made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. Their attentiveness to detail and willingness to accommodate any requests contributed significantly to the overall dining experience.One aspect that particularly stood out to me was the friendliness and approachability of the staff. Despite the restaurant's upscale ambiance, there was an undeniable sense of ease and comfort in interacting with the personnel. Whether it was recommending a dish or simply engaging in conversation, the staff at Pantheon went above and beyond to ensure that every patron felt at home.In conclusion, Pantheon Restauran is a culinary gem that excels in every aspect – from its inviting atmosphere and top-notch service to its delectable cuisine. Whether you're looking for a place to enjoy a meal with friends or celebrate a special occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Pantheon Restauran for an unforgettable dining experience.“
“From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with warm smiles and the tantalizing aroma of authentic Greek cuisine. Every dish we tried was a symphony of flavors, perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared. The attention to detail and commitment to quality shine through in every aspect of the dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends. If you're searching for the best Greek food in town, look no further – this restaurant exceeds all expectations.“
“I don't know how it took me this long to find this place but I already can't wait to go back! The food was DELICIOUS and the service was incredible. Their house marinated olives left us begging them to start selling them! Brisket and Salmon were beyond delicious. Cannot wait to go back!“
“Tried Mooring Eats and was genuinely impressed. The falafels are the best in town, no question. What really makes it special, though, is the vibe—authentic Arabic music and incredibly welcoming staff. It's a rare find for anyone looking to dive into Syrian cuisine. Highly recommend.“
“All-round great diner with excellent food and service. Definitely a staple breakfast place for me and my favourite item in the menu is the crabcake benny. Comes with coffee and orange juice per order as well. Portions are large but are affordably priced.Service sometimes slows down in the late mornings though, would definitely suggest coming early if possible.“
“I got a zaatar saj wrap with falafel, and tahini, tzatziki and garlic sauce.It was delicious!! It’s quite a large portion, and the wrap was two meals for me.The guy behind the counter was super nice too.I took a star off for the mixed paper+plastic wrapping, which would be impossible to compost or recycle. An only paper wrapping (like Subway does it) might potentially work too, just a thought :)“
“If I could give ten stars to this place, I would. Impeccable food, excellent customer service, comforting and cozy atmosphere for a romantic date, friends dinner, and a solo cup of coffee!Absolute must to try feta shrimps, lamb with pomegranate sauce, and eggplant Parmigiano (and anything else that they have on the menu. Honestly, the food is just fantastic!!!)This restaurant is a hidden gem on St Clair. You're visited once you'll want to come back for more!“
“I recently had the pleasure of trying the shawarma at The Bhais Shawarma & Grill, and it was truly exceptional. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and welcoming. It was evident that the staff takes pride in their craft and strives to deliver an outstanding culinary experience. I highly recommend The Bhais Shawarma & Grill to anyone looking for the best shawarma in town. I will definitely be returning soon! ?“
“Was on an Uber delivery pickup from this location, and as usual, tired and hungry, the guy at the counter gave me the pickup order and also small fries for me to eat with all the tasty sauces on it, that gesture of his made my mood instantly elevated and it was so so tasty I am gonna come with my family here “
“The food is delicious and inexpensive compared to other restaurants. Very family friendly run business ?Kid-friendliness: The food is delicious and the owners ( husband and wife) are very friendly and accommodating to any food alergies or concerns. Great menu selection with exceptional prices. Perfect for a family on a budget who want to go out for a meal.“
“This place is quite the hidden gem. Some of the best food and cocktails in the city. I’ve been three times now (with friends and a date night with my boyfriend) and I can’t wait to go back! If you go, definitely try the Kaghamp, the lamb, and the espresso martini! You can tell the owners put a lot of love and effort into the place.“
“Visited here for the first time and it was amazing! We had the labneh, manti dumplings and harissa roasted half chicken, all of which were tasty! The staff were kind and we got our food pretty quickly as they respected we had somewhere else to be in an hour.Only downside is that it was challenging to find the place as their sign (name) isn't very visible from afar. Overall, great experience and will be visiting again.“
“What a great spot!! Super fresh and delicious food at an amazing price!! I would definitely recommend this spot to friends and family. Plenty of parking and the service is super fast and friendly. I will definitely come to this spot again. Thanks for the amazing service and thanks for the delicious food!! See you “
“I like the food here. It reminds me a little bit of Burger Shack in North Toronto. I have ordered burgers, subs and souvlaki via Uber several times and everything has been solid. Yesterday my souvlaki dinner was missing potatoes which was disappointing. This was the first time my order was incorrect so I will give them a pass. I will continue to order from here but wish they would serve better french fries - freshly cut rather than the frozen variety. Also I don’t think it is fair that they jack their prices significantly if you order via Uber. They pass on their delivery costs to the customer. This stings when you are also paying delivery fees. When ordering a simple souvlaki dinner the cost is around $35 including tax and tip.“
“This was such an amazing find and I'm upset that I hadn’t found it sooner! The menu is huge and full of such tasty mezze dishes! I wish I had more pictures to share, but we were hungry and the food looked so appetizing (looks were NOT deceiving either) that most of it was gone before we could take a picture. Also, love the atmosphere, very quaint but so cozy. There’s a whole page of vegetarian options, plus there are salad style dishes. Vegetarians will have no problem finding options, it will just be hard to actually choose since everything sounded so good. Also, the prices are truly the best you’re going to get in Toronto PLUS the quality is phenomenal. Truly wish I could give 6 stars!“
“This lovely couple that runs this place are so professional and have some amazing recipes to share with Toronto. We catered from them for my son’s 1st birthday and everyone loved the food. Would totally recommend them for budget party catering without compromising on taste.“
“Absolutely loved my experience at Pita Lite The food was delicious, and the service provided by Rajdeep and Shubham was exceptional. They were both attentive, friendly, and made sure I had a great shawarma experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“
“Sorrel continues to be one of the finest restaurants in Toronto - but for slightly different reasons than you might expect. The service is impeccable, comfortable, professional, and their many years of experience has led to an aesthetic which is highly polished. Seemingly at odds with this exceptional level of service and hugely impressive menu and food quality is the equally comfortable and relaxed, almost familial aesthetic that envelopes you as you enter Sorrel. This fine restaurant is not full of private equity players, but instead families, business people, neighbours and friends all who have come together to enjoy a meal and fellowship in a restaurant that makes you feel like you are home.  It's hard not to give Sorrel a simple 10/10. It's one of the city's finest finds.“
“Hi, I've been looking for a Greek restaurant for a long time and I only live 5 minutes away from the St Lawrence market. I've been going through the menu of Yanni's menu and I so happy I did. The customer service is so heart warming and the food is so delicious and I'm very very happy.“
“I've been meaning to try Fattoush Sandwich Club for a few years now and finally got around to it today. What originally drew me in was the falafel scotch egg — what a brilliant idea! I could tell just from reading the menu that they put attention and care into the food.I'm pleased to report that the food tastes as good as it looks in all the photos online. I bought a sandwich flight (another great idea, and perfect for a first time visit), and of course a scotch egg. All the ingredients tasted very fresh and were well-seasoned. My favourite sandwich was the crispy eggplant — the texture was just perfect.The falafel scotch egg is about the size of a softball (I tried a pitching grip to confirm, lol), so the egg gets a little lost in the massive falafel ball. But the falafel is fantastic: it's very herbaceous and perfectly crispy on the outside, with lots of roasted sesame seeds.The service was also prompt and friendly. That always helps to elevate a restaurant.I would definitely recommend this restaurant — its sandwiches can go toe-to-toe with the very best sandwich shops of all types in the city.Vegetarian options: There are a lot of vegetarian sandwich options. I recommend the eggplant sandwich.“
“Christina’s is an absolutely amazing place to eat. Tommy is such a great host and waiter. He was so helpful and accommodating. He made the experience so pleasant from beginning to end. The food was delicious and so fresh. I love eating there.Vegetarian options: There are many options availableDietary restrictions: They will accommodate allergies.“
“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.“
“Great food and service. Really like the layout and atmosphere of this restaurant. Central open kitchen. Pasta with braised beef was excellent as was the duck mousse appetizer. Interesting selection of unique cocktails. Great find pre theatre/event.“
“Wow! I've been disappointed so many times, wasting my money on over priced garbage food. Sultans was no waste! The food was amazing!!! The service was great! The price was on point. I can't wait to bring my kids here. I will drive 1 hour and bit just to eat here! Amazing food!!“
“Had another great experience at Olio last week. Try the Olio burger - it’s great! The service here is great - very friendly staff. Prices are a touch high but fairly normal given today’s inflation costs. The breakfast buffet is also worth a try.“
“Delicious food, excellent friendly service, always with a smile. The food was fresh and flavourful.I like that there’s salad and rice with garlic sauce to go with the chicken. The portions are hefty and generous.This is located at the lower level of the RBC building, at the eatery hall so the atmosphere is as expected, noisy and with food court seating. However, it is clean, new and functional.The 4* for the atmosphere is because it’s a food court as compared to a non-food court atmosphere however, this is not to detract from Sultan’s Grill’s great food and service. That’s why the overall rating is 5* and they deserve it!“
“Kababia is just up the street from where we live and I got to say it’s such a great place to have in the neighbourhood. I got two platters I got the smaller platter which I think is about $67 and the large platter which is $99 and I got the add-ons of the falafels, fries and the potatoes $13 xtra. It also comes with hummus, a garlic sauce, hot sauce & tahini, lots of fresh pita as well. I wish I took pictures of it, but everybody dug into it before I even had a chance (there is many photos of the platters in other reviews). They make fresh to order which I love and the owner Abdul is very approachable and he can help you sort out what you need especially if you have vegetarians, he said he can even separate the meat from all the rice and the veggies on the platter. I had 10 people mostly young adults (who eat a lot ) and we had leftovers for 4 lunches the next day that I packed up for take away !“
“My first time here and was a little put off by the 90 min wait for a table (arrived 7pm on a Saturday) but Drew entertained us downstairs in the bar (the man’s knowledge of wine is breathtaking), when we eventually got a table the staff were attentive, produced pita in a heart beat (super hungry at that point) and the food was great. We snacked on appetizers, all great. The wine flowed (Greek wine which was quite the revelation). Great experience- no reservations so don’t go hungry mid evening at the weekend and expect to be seated any time soon.“
“The service at Tahini's is always very warm and welcoming. Additionally, the taste and the quality of the food never disappoint. A regular fix for our shawarma and falafel cravings.Vegetarian options: Has a range of veg options in all their dishes.“
“Philly chicken is my absolute favorite, and I always find myself coming back for more! The crew here is super friendly, and let me tell you, Krushil's customized Philly chicken was out of this world. Seriously, the best I've ever had! Thanks, Krushil, for making my taste buds sing with joy!“
“A wonderful buffet brunch and the quality of food excellent. I would highly recommend making a reservation!! Lobster tails, bacon wrapped scallops and oysters. And for those that like typical brunch there's custom omelets, bacon, sausages and even crepes. There was a big mixup with our reservation and the manager was exceptionally responsive in rectifying it and made a grand gestures to our party of 8. Great customer service, thanks Daniele. Lots of fun with ski shots, DJ and saxophone player. My only suggestion would be to lower the music so that people can talk to each other without yelling. Seems to be an issue in a lot of establishments.“
“I don’t usually write reviews but this is one of the best Lazeez locations in the GTA. Food is always consistent and they are very generous with the portions. The staff are very welcoming and kind. I drive all the way to this location even though there is one near where I live in downtown Toronto.“
“Finally got a chance to try this place. The owner was SO welcoming and good in helping us decide what to get. We ended up with an Armenian version 2 and it hit the spot! The soujouk was the perfect blend of spices and the experience was great. Will return!“
