“Great atmosphere. Great food.“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Babushka! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by how clean and beautifully designed the restaurant was. The outdoor seating area surrounded by flowers created a wonderful atmosphere. The best part was the food — every dish was presented beautifully and served individually to each guest. In today’s world, we don’t just look for quantity, but for quality, a personal touch, and excellent service, and Babushka delivered on all fronts. Our waiter, Dima, was incredibly friendly, polite, and professional. The owner, Pasha, was respectful, attentive, and added a touch of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. He personally greeted everyone and made us feel special. The dancers performing on stage added so much energy and excitement to the evening. They truly elevated the atmosphere, making it feel like a real celebration. The washrooms were spotless and stocked with hand towels, which I really appreciated. The music was just right — lively but not too loud, with a great mix of different cultures and breaks so guests could talk or dance. If you’re looking for outstanding service, top-quality food, and a festive, unforgettable evening, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“An awesome place for golf players to chill and socialize“

“This was the first Nigerian Lounge I’ve been to and they didn’t disappoint.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food always comes out fresh/hot and well portioned. The cocktails are delicious! They play Afro beats & Dancehall music.

They deserve a better location.

Nevertheless, it’s a great lounge to visit on a Friday or Saturday night.“

“In a restaurant world dressed up with disingenuous marketing JOEY Yorkdale offers you a magnificent spot outside downtown Toronto that delivers what it promises on their home page, “Our guests, new or old, are not treated just as guests, but as if they are a good friend we are catching up with.” And this was the experience for me and my two close chums who selected this spot primarily because it was the midpoint between our diverse locations. From first arriving, the hostess took the time to offer a complimentary champagne glass and inquire if our visit that day was for a special occasion. It was a reunion and she graciously followed up with pleasant comments establishing a charming mood. When the waitress came to greet us, she also took the time to find out more about the nature of our reunion and only then flawlessly delved into the menu. I understand this is common practice at luxury restaurants; however, I would contend that, although there are dining establishments that treat patrons similarly, it is not simply about what you do but, rather, how well you do it. And this is the reason I am taking the time to write this review: JOEY does it very well. Having frequented several luxury restaurants in downtown Toronto I can anecdotally share with you that there have been far too many occasions when the host and/or server left a poor impression. Whether it is conceited complacency in their brand or even our own bigotry of unrealistic expectations, there seldom is a meeting point of both food, service, and overall impression. The treatment at JOEY was so genuine that it left an indelible impression. Each interaction with the server and hostess throughout complemented our dining experience. We were then surprised with dessert on the house presented on an expansive serving plate with the words “Happy Reunion!” written in caramel. Delicious, delicious caramel. Mmmm, but I digress… Over the years I have written to restaurants far more complaints than compliments and, in retrospect, this is unfair. It takes a team and a culture to create this magic and it can be quite challenging to get it right. When it comes together as well as it did on our visit, it is the sort of joy that can accompany you throughout your day. At JOEY they seem to have captured the right formula and I look forward to returning and catching up with “good friends” that understand that going out to eat today is about so much more.“

“Everything was smooth and good! The server so friendly!“

“Small restaurant with a super hospitable, approachable and friendly staff. While dining, there was nice reggae music playing in the background. Typical Jamaican restaurant menu with a few unique items and custom drinks. The food was average tasting and well presented. I was educated about the history and how the restaurant was established which was enjoyable. My overall experience was positive and I would consider returning in the future. check my video review of this restaurant.“

“top shelf service and food was amazing“

“My salmon was excellent a little too small, but tasted good“

“The Shish Lounge delivers an impressive blend of Middle Eastern hospitality and modern vibes, making it a standout spot for a relaxed night out. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels upscale yet welcoming, with sleek décor, comfortable seating, and the warm scent of fresh shisha and grilled meats in the air.

The food menu is solid, featuring a variety of wraps, platters, and shareables. Their mixed grill platter is a must-try — juicy kebabs, perfectly spiced chicken, and tender lamb served with fluffy rice and fresh salad. The garlic sauce and hummus are flavorful additions that really bring the meal together. If you’re just in for a light bite, the appetizers like grape leaves and falafel hit the spot.

Shisha is the star of the show here, with a wide variety of flavours and smooth pulls that make for a laid-back evening. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to help with flavour recommendations or to keep the coals hot.

Whether you’re out with friends or on a date, The Shish Lounge offers a chill, clean, and enjoyable experience that keeps you coming back. It’s a solid go-to if you’re craving good food and even better vibes.“

“Friends highly recommended us to try this restaurant, we made reservations last night.!When we entered the server said we have two hours for dinner. We ordered different kinds of food to try like deep fried pork belly (melted in your mouth, just the right temperature), unagi risotto (the texture is very rich, the risotto is different than the Italian style), tuna brioche ( once you start to bite there are so many flavors), baked oysters (must try, I like the creamy mixture), Napa burger sliders ( we saw so many tables ordered this plate, we also tried and found out it’s very tasty), ox tongue and honey bread with cream. We also Sangria and Peach flavor soju, both drinks are good. All dishes have distinct flavors and highly recommended to make reservations before you go for dinner.“
