“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you“

“I brought my girlfriend here last night for her birthday. What an absolute incredible experience! From the moment Mirka greeted us and sat us at our table in the heated patio, Grace, so attentive to our needs and fabulous conversations and wine suggestions with Heidi. The apps, main course and desserts were top shelf delicious! This restaurant and staff are highly recommended if you want the best experience for you and your loved ones. We definitely will be back. Thank you Sole!!“

“Great meal today from Exclamation. The Lemon Chicken was fantastic :-)“

“Great food!! Nice Patio!! Excellent service!!!“

“we visited Asakusa waterloo today for the very first time. Nice Ambience and nice staff too. ordered a lot of food. Defintely Good quality tasty food. The noodle soup bowl was very yummy. the matcha ice cream was tasty too. the fried spare ribs & chicken wings were with some smell ( may be seafood like) so next time we will stick to order only Noodle soup bowls. Today the restaurant air condition machine was broken , so the main door was kept open for ventilation purpose hence lots of flies were all around.“

“I rarely give really positive reviews but this is an exception. This is an excellent restaurant without qualification. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was polite, friendly and fast. The decor is attractive, intelligent and works. This is a place I intend to return to.“

“I have tried all the diners in KW and this one has become my #1 💯❤️❤️❤️
The gentleman that greeted me today with such a warm welcome and enthusiasm I so appreciated. It feels so good to be treated well and valued as a customer.
He even offered to bring out my order to my car. True gentleman and that’s the best service ever!!! I even got coffee on the house,
Thank you so much 🙏🫶🥰you’re so kind.
I ordered the Greek Omelette and it was so delicious and fresh, the home fries were so perfectly done too, it reminded me of how my mom used to make them with Schnitzel and then as she was making them I would walk by and snatch a few, 😂 I love how it brought me that sweet memory.
I also ordered bacon on the side and requested it for it to be crispy and it was perfection 👌👍💯 first diner/restaurant to get that right!!!
Thank you Chef🙏😉
Everything was made so well.
I’ll be a regular customer for sure.
See you soon.“

The service was amazing from Olivika she went above and beyond for us. She even packaged our food neatly for us. At the end we got a cake with a candle with happy birthday written in chocolate.

“Thus was my first time at this location.
Today Nov 17th at around 1:30pm we came for a birthday pizza and the lady serving me was really nice!
She was happy to make my pizza with 7 toppings I requested and did so with a smile which made me feel very comfortable :)
She even wished me Happy Birthday and included a birthday card :)
Great customer service!

When I buy pizza next time, I will definitely come to this location!
I recommend this location!

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie toppings options!“

“I decided to stop in today and grab lunch . I ordered the Kibbeh . Now I have eaten this dish all over the world and had Armenian and Egyptian friends make it for me , And today’s was by far the best I have ever had . I am fighting the urge to go back and order more .“

“Great Flavors & Friendly Service!
Kismet is a fantastic spot for Indian food! The dishes are rich in flavor, and I love that you can choose your preferred spice level. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even better. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re craving authentic Indian cuisine!“

“Great service, pleasant staff, fun atmosphere and delicious food. What more do you want in a classic diner? Had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely return. Paige was our server she was so amazing, food was awesome!! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😋“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“Always a pleasure to dine here. Staff is friendly and efficient and the food is awesome. Recommend to all my friends“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.“

“We visited Shawarma Plus two days ago and tried the Waffle Shawarma—everything was perfect! Ali and the other staff members were an amazing, providing friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious and the place has a great vibe. Highly recommend!“

“I will start with the positives. I definitely recommend Ken Sushi, every experience has been great except this one! Today we were not happy with the service. Our waitress was very pushy and made us feel like we were eating at a fast food restaurant! We felt like we were being hurried to place our order and not given time to decide what we wanted to eat. We had to remind Sunny that we ordered tea, the first item delivered was the gioza and they had to be returned because they were over done. We had to remind her that we ordered Miso soup. The food was ok but the service made the food not enjoyable. We tried new dishes suggested by Sunny but if we took the time to order we would not have ordered the grilled octopus. Dining out is not just about the food but the entire experience and this one was bad!“

“Possibly the best chinese in town for my money. Excellent food, great prices, huge servings (even the lunch specials are easily two meals depending on how hungry you are) but above all excellent service and friendly staff. They go above and beyond, every time.“

“Came here for lunch - went for the 2 bao, a side and a drink option and was surprised when the bill came up to 34.7 bucks! Definitely on the pricey side.. however, the baos were surprisingly filling. Enjoyed The Great Chicken bao but the spicy pork bao was a bit salty for my taste. Did not have much room left for salad so took that home with me. For drinks - I had the peach tea salad which was quite refreshing. This place is worth checking out if you are in the area and looking for something a little different, but be prepared to fork out a bit more than you would expect for baos.“

“Best shawarma in town, great freshly baked pita/bread. A regular spot for us.“

“We had the opportunity to try Nuri Sushi yesterday and to say we were impressed is an understatement!! This place is fantastic! We loved the atmosphere, the sushi and the Amazing food ! I don’t review restaurants often, but this place deserved it! We can’t wait to return soon to share it with more of our family & friends! Thank you to Nuri Sushi for such a wonderful evening“

“The best pocket friendly Chinese place in Waterloo.
I keep trying various daily specials and the one which stood out is fish in general Tao sauce. Even their sweet corn soup and chicken lollipop is good. They should put schezwan/sichuan sauce on the table as well as that’s the only thing missing.“

“Nice spot for a healthy meal. Bright, clean, inviting shop. We were greeted right away! I suggest the Budha Bowl it has a nice spicy peanut sauce with glass noodles and fresh veggies.

Lots of parking in this newish development. A few tables and a high table with stools available to enjoy dine in.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“The service was excellent, they really took the time to educate us about their menu and ensured we enjoyed our order. After eating a burrito, my sister had the bowl version, we felt good about what we ate...no fast food consumption regret here :-)“

“Good service and a delighted dining environment. All Japanese foods were freshy made and with Japanese styled; should enjoy a happy dining experience in here. 👌“

“If you're looking for the ultimate fry experience in Waterloo, Crazy Canuck is a must-try. I recently ordered their fresh-cut fries with customized toppings, and it was absolutely worth it!

This is not your average fast-food poutine or fry box — it's fresh, flavorful, and filling. Definitely recommend it for a quick lunch or a snack with a twist!“

“Greatest place in town to get any type of slice of pizza for $5
Slices are twice the size of any other pizza place in town .

All the workers are extremely friendly

Not to mention, the slices are normally made fresh every 20 minutes til 5AM“

“Great owners, good food ❤️ Recommend!“

“stopped by Sunset Grill in Waterloo last weekend, and wow—what a great find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better.

The food? Absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, so whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a lighter, healthier bite, there’s something for everyone. I went with the pancakes and home fries, and they were cooked perfectly—golden, fluffy, and exactly what I needed to start my day.

What really stood out was the consistency—everything tasted fresh, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where families, friends, and even solo diners can feel right at home.“
