Ranjani Ranganathan

Beat Mediterranean experience so far in the city. DELICIOUS food, nothing too heavy or greasy. The ambience is welcoming and friendly. Great for work or personal get together. Right from the crafty cocktails to the delectable spread of apps, main courses and desserts, I absolutely loved this place. Great options for vegetarians. The service was prompt and polite. I would visit this place again without a doubt.

Barry Zuidgeest

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Toronto. The venue, service, and the way the food is being displayed on the plates, all feel upscale. The actual taste of the food wasn't as expected though. Also, the portions were quite small. We ordered 3 mains for 3 people but that was not quite enough. Price / quality could be better in general.

Walter Milam

We shared a starter which was excellent and plenty. A little bit of everything it said and it really was. We almost started to regret that we ordered the mixed grill, thinking we would never finish that. And that was the but, the mixed grill at 28 € featured three skewers and a single lamb chop. While it was again excellent quality, that’s overpriced to the point of greed. The other mains we saw appeared reasonably priced and sized though. Staff was very sweet and friendly. In the evenings you should have a very nice view too. All good and 5* if not for the price

Don Belyea

In a word: fantastic. Great, warm atmosphere, very attentive staff. Bonus - they are very accommodating if you have someone in your group with allergies, they handle it very well and take it very seriously. They find out what is out of bounds are are very helpful with suggestions that will work for you. The food here is fantastic. Like, everything we tried was fantastic. You really can't go wrong.

Oksana D

One of my favorite sport. Amazing food. Great service. Atmosphere is enjoyable. They provide complimentary parking at the nearby parking lot which is a great bonus in down town Toronto. A bit on a pricy side but I think it’s worth it if you want to have a great date or girls night out.

Jess I.

The food and cocktails here are on point and super delicious. The server was attentive and had great suggestions even telling us some of the dishes might have similar taste profiles if we were looking for more diversity. Definitely recommend.

Kaitlyn Zarzour

Favourite restaurant. I have NEVER had a bad meal here! I love the spin they put on many middle eastern dishes and flavours and how they incorporate the different styles of the same dish in many of their menu items! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone asking for a Toronto restaurant for a nice night out. Beautiful soon, wonderful atmosphere, great service!

Shane Kleinpeter

We had a great team dinner here. It's not a huge place so I would recommend reservations. The staff were really great. Since this is a shared plates type of place we asked the server just to bring enough starters and mains for the number of people we had. He did a quick level set with us and the food just started arriving. We had ordered drinks as well and everybody was happy especially with the Old Fashioned and the specialty drink that comes in a tea kettle. Food was excellent and was a great blend of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. The braised meats and ribs were just spectacular. Desserts weren't as much of a hit but satisfied the sweet toothes at the table. I'll definitely return.

Shawn Lazaros

Nice cozy atmosphere, extremely friendly staff and excellent food. We had a small party of five, and we all had a diverse selection of mains, mine being the slow roasted lamb. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, as they were top notch What got me was the friendly and warm staff, and regular patrons. This felt like a business that prides itself on good food and warm at-home atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough!

Kim Ray

I liked the ambience. They have different artworks hanging on the wall and I believe you can buy it. The price and email adrs of the artist was beside each painting too. The food quality was good and staff are friendly

Erikka H

My party of four stumbled upon Aviv unexpectedly while walking around the Annex. The exterior reminded us of restaurants in Greece and looked quite charming. Upon entry, we were instantly greeted with smiles and warmth from the staff. As someone who has worked in the industry for over seven years, I have never experienced a staff as well versed in food/wine knowledge and as wonderful as Aviv's staff. They gave us perfect wine recommendations and made us feel at home. We ate the eggplant appetizer which was to absolutely die for (not joking, as I am allergic to eggplant and couldn't stop eating it) which was served with soft, tasty pita triangles. I do not eat pork as I tend to not like the flavour, but the pork tenderloin converted me just by the menu description. It was accompanied by the silkiest sweet potato and vanilla (!) mash and collard greens with bacon. Heaven. But the pork was the main star. I cannot stop thinking about how tender and flavorful it was; I wish to write poetry about it. After our dishes were done, we were all so pleased with our experience. Five stars! Recommending this to everyone I know! Thank you, Aviv, for a perfect dining experience!

Robert Mills

Great staff, good food, and lots of special deals depending on which day of the week. Great neighborhood spot.

Maria Abila

Hidden gem with 5 star customer service! The ambience is very comforting and romantic. I come here every so often the past few years as it's quite far for me, but every single time we've consistantly recieved excellent customer service and delicious meals! I personally love their risotto balls and my boyfriend loves the pizza!

Emma Thomson

Went for Winterlicious and it was my first time there. I had the steak and it was amazing. Service was also excellent. Will return.

Reese Smilski

Comfortable place - great service. We were guided to the Jerusalem Fattouche - excellent! We made a good quick meal with the Fattouche, Quinoa & Kale salad and a pizza. Great value too!

Farzan Rocha

Alex Norris-Lue

Went for the Gout De France event, my first time at the restaurant. Had a great time - food was phenomenal, staff were friendly and professional and the atmosphere (the dining space, lighting, overall decor) was perfect. Even got to meet the manager Michael (who was very friendly and welcoming) and Chef Flora (who was present for the event and was also very friendly). Although my experience may have been influenced by the event, I will be returning. Highly recommend.

Mike Hilario

This place is gorgeous! High ceilings, huge windows, the decor is beautiful. The staff is super friendly especially Adrian our waiter. Adrian is courteous and professional, he offered great suggestions. I had the lamb burger and it was juicy! I really enjoyed my experience here. I brought my work staff and they loved it and the food. Will come here again.

Danielle Ryan

Great atmosphere and able to accommodate us without a reservation. Our server was amazing (I wish I got her name) - clever, quick witted, and entertaining. The food delivery was fast and visually appealing. Highlt recommend this spot for both groups and more intimate occasions. The wine is Great too!!

J P

Service and staff were great. Very attentive to even the smaller details. But the lack of flavour in the food was something that over shadowed the night. Perhaps the kitchen had an off night. I split the lamb and the beef cheeks with a friend. I’m tempted to give them another try because of all the positive reviews, but I’m on the fence still. It’s not a pricey restaurant but it’s not cheap ether.

White Lioness Media

Great ambience and large space for hosting bigger groups (even kid friendly). We had a fairly large group of 20+ people and the staff were really great, and food was also beautifully done. Thanks for a great brunch experience.

Wil Turrin

We went to Ricardo's for their brunch buffet and were rewarded with such a tasty treat. Prime rib was superb, the roasted potatoes are perfection. Custom omelettes and bennies, savoury pancakes and a seafood bar were just some of the highlights. Too full to even contemplate the pasta bar. I want to go back and hit all the stations I couldn't fit in.

Mary B

The interior is modern and hip. You can choose to grab a coffee to go or sit in. The staffs there are accommodating and welcoming. I had a very good experience, definitely would recommend this place for coffee with a friend, client, and co-worker. Also coffee is great!

Irina Jovanovic

Great cappuccino. Finally. Also, really nice interior and friendly staff. Don't hesitate to try any of their salads. Love them.

Nadin Monteiro

This restaurant never disappoints with the size of their wraps to the chilled vibes atmosphere. Oh and the food is DELICIOUS! Enjoy coming here with family and friends! The employees are very nice and the environment reminds me of restaurants back home. Keep it up guys!!

Irina Jovanovic

Great food, everything is so fresh. Staff are really helpful and offering their help when you want to pick something from the menu. The place is really clean and most importantly, there is always a table available for you during lunchtime. People eat and they go immediately.

Mala Gautam

Great food and quick service. Place is overflowing at lunch time so get in early or late afternoon. I had chicken shawarma roll which was very satisfying. Also loved their friendly staff who gave suggestions and clarifications on the menu. Good choice for quick lunches.

Armon Rouhani

Location and their atmosphere is great, food portions are generous, and the meal came fast -- went on a Friday at six, it wasn't busy. Overall, the food was okay -- a bit more on the dry side (had their chicken box, and falafel box), both weren't as juicy as expected, but still good. Considering the other places around, it was better than expected. Would probably go again if needed a quick meal that's filling.

Erin Johnson

Nice fast casual. The food was tasty and satisfied all 4 of our boys (4, 7, 9 & 11). The shock was that there was room enough to seat all of us together. The staff was helpful and very friendly/kind. I can't remember everything we had and that's a good thing because I only make mental notes of things they dislike so as to avoid them for future orders. I had the lamb wrap with spicy sauce and like it very much. The wrap is huge so I ended up taking over half of it home. They make crisps on sight and my boys loved them. The adults were impressed with the fact that they were not the classic super greasy kind that most places serve. I did dock a star for the bathroom. It's in the basement and a bit stinky. Overall, we would definitely go back and just remember to use the bathroom before going there :-)

Patrice Kepfeu

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in the city. I absolutely love this place. It’s a very clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food is always fresh and tastes good. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu items. Try their Chicken Shawarma or Grilled mushrooms on Hummus!

Larissa Lio

Casual dining, order/pay at front, you can do take out or they bring your food to you. Portions are large and very well priced. The food is delicious and it’s even more impressive since the food comes out so fast

Jordan Johnstone

The chicken schnitzel is so amazing at this place. Shawarma too. A really good place to get food in Queen West

F. Robert Ries

Delicious burger with a pureed bacon topping. Brussels sprouts app. Nice IPA. Pleasant room and wonderful staff. Rest of the menu looked worth exploring. Wasn't cheap, but worth it.

Michael Ly

I've been here a few times over the past 5 years. It was never super busy during my visits, so I can't speak for how well the restaurant operates when it's a full house. With that being said, on our most recent visit, the service was great for my date and I. The server was not pushy when it came to ordering drinks, she went over the daily specials, and checked up on us an adequate amount of times. Highlights from the menu for me are the burger, steak, duck, and scallops. Great ambience and I think prices are reasonable for the portions.

Oliver Jensen

Intimate setting and friendly service. Great emphasis on vegetables (vegan options abound thanks to an accommodating kitchen). The wine list is very tight. 👌🏼

Beopa Tsering

So we had a group of 16 people - reserved. Restaurant and environment awesome - no doubt about it. Yet, it was very unpleasant minutes after we seated as our server ask is any more people coming in - 2 more to show - why the rush and doesn't want to serve unless all show-up? First bad impression! Ordered drinks - took a while mine as I ordered house wine - was he targeting me(jk)? I had to ask again as rest of group sipping drinks. Food came on time, was all okay on taste and presentation. At end, we asked for separate bills - server told it will take an hour(seriously?) but we insist -- eventually got separate bills. Paid bills and ran away. Nope, not going anymore! Thank You! Bottom line: If you want to enjoy comfortable and relax - this is not place. They rush you out!!!

sue bonk

Great food and specials. Wait staff very attentive with good skill. Reservations definitely required

David Sfiligoi

Excellent food, I ordered a steak and found it as good as steakhouses for a lot more reasonable price. It was cooked to perfection and tender. Was eith a group of ten, we had amazing service throughout the evening.

Carlson Hoang

great location for a nice date. nice portions and great service and the chef does a good job balancing the taste

Jip Janneke

Had dinner here during a business trip. Really liked the food, reasonable prices and enough & friendly staff. Menu is not exhaustive but enough choice and as said, tasted well. Also the main (lamb) had quite some vegetables with it.

Hands down the best food I’ve had in Toronto. Lively staff, exceptional cocktails and service. If you get the chance, don’t miss out on this experience.

Milana D. K.

Food was delicious. Portions were very generous. Loved the vibe. The bartenders were great and the drinks were fabulous. Would definitely come back!

Ori Grad

I was looking for the perfect place to bring my family for delicious middle eastern and Moroccan food while they were visiting the city. Bar Sybanne provided the perfect setting and delicious food that they still rave about! Thank you!

Chris Devers

Had an excellent night out with a friend at Bar Sybanne. Great menus for both food and drinks. It was recommended to share plates so we ordered the mushrooms, chicken tagine (my favorite), lamb kefte, saffron rice, and whole grilled fish. We were not disappointed!! I would definitely recommend

Sean Hamori

Food & Cocktails on point. We went for Valentines Day so there was a fixed menu - every course was super tasty and was timed perfectly. Hyped to come back soon. Nice one, Bar Sybanne, ya killed it!

Louis Goldner

We dined as party of four Sat Feb 23 6pm. I would've given it 5 stars because food, service, ambience were all very good. However, portions were extremely small for the price! One of us had a glass of wine, but otherwise, no alcohol, beverages, coffee, or dessert. Our bill came to $175 after tx (not incl tip).

Pauline Osena

Amazing experience. Howard, the head chef and owner, was so welcoming. He created an amazing space and a truly delicious menu. Staff were super friendly! We loved everything we tried ... particularly the whole fish and broccolini!

Tara Villarroel

Food was amazing, great for sharing. Server was great in helping us decide how much food we would need for our group. The fried brussels leaves are a must-order...such a unique texture!

Anthony Thiessen

The whole place has a great atmosphere with a nice aesthetic. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the wait time was not long. Everyone in our group loved the food, all of which was healthy without compromising on taste. Prices were surprisingly good considering the ingredients and location.

Jas Narula

Great food and great service. I tried their brunch menu. Interesting Mediterranean twist to a traditional brunch. I am going back to try their regular menu as that looks even better. Feedback to the restaurant: You should probably consider adding some drinks outside coffee/tea to your brunch menu.

M Zatmah

It was good but nothing special. The atmosphere was good. Found the food and service average. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Coffee: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Value: 2/5

Ahad Baig

Cozy and fancy atmosphere, the service was excellent. This is my second time going there. The lamb baklava is delicious, and great as a dessert. Their tacos were a fantastic appetizer. The lamb short ribs were not as tender the second time, but still delicious. Just FYI the chicken and lamb is all halal, which is amazing and a rarity :)

Chelsea Carrasco

It was fine, not bad, not amazing. I liked my cocktail but the prices were high and the service was slow and inattentive even though the place was empty. I'm surprised to see it has so many high ratings because when we went at peak dinner time on a Thursday it was completely dead and the ambiance was pretty sad.

Nyla Chaudhry

Went there recently with a group of friends. This place is beautifully decorated and the service was amazing. We chose the prefixed menu and every single thing offered to us was delicious! Chicken, lamb and beef are all halal! Can’t wait to go again!

Mellissa Ha

Amazing little spot. great atmosphere. They didn't have the wines that we ordered but our server Lucy (I think that was her name?) was super sweet and more than made up for it. Will return for sure. Thank you so much!!

Kitty Lana Carr

Wow, just wow! Incredible vibe. The lights are so cute, this is the perfect spot for date night or girls night out! Highly recommend sharing a bunch of plates. The lamb baklava, tacos, seafood skewer are some of the best!

Amazing authentic greek food and I am not just saying this. Especially coming from someone who just came back fro. Greece two weeks ago. Great customer service as well!!! Definitely recommend this place for a great enjoyable diner even for a diner date.

Howie H

The food is was very good and reasonably priced. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. I am definitely going again soon.

Juliana

Love this place! The food at Mykonos was so tasty and fresh, and the service was excellent and friendly. Defiantly my favourite spot for the best greek food in Toronto.

Diquan Cephas

Really nice mediterranean restaurant. Healthy, delicious and enjoyable. Options for vegetarians! Great for Family and a date night out.

Maria Couto

Love this restaurant!!! Amazing food and friendly service. The lemon and rice soup is AMAZING!!!!. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Drew Pearson

Best Greek food in town. I live a few hours from Toronto but I use to visit my grandmother when she lived in a seniors building next door, we would always go to Mykonos for lunch or dinner. Peter the owner is usually present in making sure his customers have a wonderful experience. It's also a great place to take a date not overly priced, large portions and the best Gyros I have ever had. Mykonos has inspired some of our own family to travel and visit Greece. Although my grandmother is no longer with us, we still stop at Mykonos for a family dinner a few times a year. If I lived closer I would be broke as I would probably eat every meal of the day there if I could. Staff is great, food is fantastic, prices are very reasonable and it's at beautiful restaurant.

Mitch Kimelman

Food was great!! Flavours were authentic. Portions were huge! Staff were absolutely great!!! Has become the new great lunch destination at work!! Definitely recommend!

Lucy Chai

Amazing meal. Such big portions, friendly service, warm and open atmosphere. Me and my friend shared the pork/chicken souvlaki platter which came with pita, meat, salad, grilled vegetables, and rice for $21 and we were totally full. Our waitress was attentive and sweet and we never felt rushed in our meal. Food is delicious, especially how tender the meat is. Potatoes are flavorful, baked in, not just bland. Definitely worth coming back!

Nasir Tanim

Great ambiance! I took out a group for business dinner here, and we all enjoyed the food. The food price is decent for the quality. Service is good too but our server was clearly split thin as the night got busy. Overall, a good experience. Even thought I was here for business dinner, based on what I noticed seems great for couples, date night dinner as well.

James Zu

Very stylish place as expected. Nice environment for some good conversation with few glasses of wine. Food was so so. My order of veal came with 2 piece of meat. One was over cooked a bit. The greens were also a bit too well done.

Brad Kamrath

Great Greek food experience right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Not terribly pricey either, but if you hit the wine and somewhat exotic (but awesome) beer selections they offer you'll reach your dining out budget cap quickly. I attended a corporate event with about 20 people and the service was very slow that evening even though the restaurant wasn't that busy. My waiter missed an offered refill that night, but the food was amazing and cooked perfectly - so it was almost worth the wait. I definitely would go again to give them another chance at better service.

Farha Khan

Want to have some great seafood, this is the place. We had grilled Moroccan octopus, grilled calamari, an amazing grilled cheese a very popular ask on the menu (enjoy the video attached), fisherman’s stew, grilled Mediterranean Sea bass and red snapper. Amazing ambience and good options for wine. If you need cocktails which is off the menu, but you can call for it and it can be custom made.

Raheem Merali

Fantastic food and wine. Good for a business lunch or a catch up dinner. Do the calamari! Great service and greater food.

David Jubinville

Fantastic fresh Mediterranean in downtown. Servings are perfect size and have great flavor, are well rounded, and elegantly presented. Service is fast, friendly and informative. Highly recommended fine dining experience.

Scott Carey

Appetizers were great - arugula with shaved fennel salad and the grilled Octopus. The mains were a little disappointing though. My rack of lamb was cooked to chef recommended medium, which ended up being a mostly grey medium-well. The flavour was there though and the dish was otherwise OK. My wife's Red Snapper was the low-point of the meal; it was either not fresh or something was off in the preparation. It had a sandy texture and lacked flavour. Overall with a couple of glasses of wine each it was an expensive meal considering the disappointing mains. We ended up doing a late night run to Rodney's for some oysters and scallops in order to satisfy the seafood craving.

C. Alex Ellacott

Fantastic meal, the calamari was sooooo delicious, and the desserts, we couldn't decide, so ordered one of each. The figs and yogurt was my favourite, and this is coming from a sworn chocolate lover!

I rarely leave reviews but I felt like I needed to leave one for this place! Excellent food and a very warm and relaxing atmosphere. The music is very pleasant and the people are very nice. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Toronto :)

Cindy Buzadi

Amazing food and service. Affordable. Nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. One of my favorite places to go.

Avery Haviv

Amazing experience with a large group. Owner was very accommodating and a great host. Delicious! Had a great time and will come back!

Wil Turrin

The service was fine. They aren't equipped for large parties, despite having a reservation and knowing there would be a lot of people. They have a rather large menu but not the capacity to pull it off

Sakshi Daral

Had an amazing brunch on my birthday and the staff surprised us with a sweet gesture. Tried pasta and salad, both were made really good. Would highly recommend!!

Heather

Absolutely fantastic. Passing through the area and stopped in. Best hummus I have ever had. Mushroom risotto was decadent. ChIcken liver appetizer was delicate and well balanced. Great spot for lunch. I’ll be sure to come back to try the dinner menu. 5 STARS.

Giang Nguyen

Generous portions, everything we ordered was delicious. They served baguette was served with hummus while we waited for our order, the bread was yummy. The roasted beets were on point, the appetizer plate so humongous, it could be shared by several people. The calamari was crispy yet not too chewy and came with a nice sauce. The beef cheek and tongue was fall-off-the-bone tender. A couple of good vegetarian options as well. A wide variety of mixed drinks rounded out the meal perfectly. We didn’t have reservations, but came before the dinner crowd. The service was fine.

Jennifer Choy

Average at best. Average menu, average quality, average atmosphere.

This place was OK. Inside was pretty clean and they have nice booths and tables. I ordered the beef steak and it didn't feel like a steak at all. It would've been better on a sandwich. Plus everything was on the menu is a little on the pricey side. The date cake was pretty good but also expensive. The service is lacking some organization but other than that they were prompt with the food.

My first time having contemporary Somali food and it was amazing! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The spices are different than your average Mediterranean cuisine. I recommend the beef steak with rice served in a communal tray from which everyone can eat out of. Highly recommend the date cake for dessert, it's warm, soft and topped with caramel and vanilla ice cream. The staff was very friendly, and the service was fast. There's ample seating and a nice family friendly atmosphere.

Very good Somalian restaurant. Food is very tasty. Staff is very nice. Usually its fully packed over the weekends but still you get your order in time. I would rate their staff and service 10/10.

kaltumo Malow

One of the best East African/Mediterranean cuisine in Toronto for sure. You will find exceptional customer service, clean and family friendly environment. The owners are great friendly people, I will definitely come back the next time I visit Canada!

Margaret

Delicious, flavorful vegetarian options! Ample seating, clean bathrooms and the best falafel I've ever had. Serves a cinnamon/ nutmeg scented aromatic Somali coffee that I've yet to try~ Will definitely come back here again.

Husein Amijee

The food here is absolutely delightful and packed with flavour! The samosas are loaded with meat and super juicy and crunchy! The best I've had in the city so far! Another must-have are their kebabs and date cake! The owners are super hospitable and overall loved the food and the experience, would 100% recommend! Actually might be going there again this weekend! =D

Second time been there and the food was excellent. It was very busy and some how we got are food fast and fresh. And the staff were nice. Can't wait to go and try a different meal.

Great Somali food in the west end of Toronto. The price is reasonable, portions are generous and the service is a bit slow. I enjoyed eating at this African restaurant!

Inexpensive shawarma, but lacking in flavor. Honestly they just need to season and salt their food properly and it will taste much better. The prices are very reasonable and the quantity is great, but the food lacks taste. The beef and chicken shawarma had little to no flavor at all. The beef was very tender though. If you add salt and pepper and spices yourself you will find it to be much better. Menu is decent and prices are very reasonable for being inside a hospital food court area.

Charlotte Clarke

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews but this place is terrible. The portions were very plentiful but the food had absolutely no flavour. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter which came with salad, potato, rice and a heaping scoop of their shawarma chicken. None of it was seasoned, the potatoes were swimming in flavorless tomato sauce and the rice was tasteless but edible. The only thing that was tasty was the tabbouleh. They really need to revamp their cooking if they want to stay open.

MOONLIT NIGHT

worst ever they serve old food. old Salad.

Mary Zafaralla

The food lacks flavour. It's quite pricey.

Abu Ontario

Had the x large beef and lamb gyro. Portion is good but not the taste. It looked like meat but didn't taste like it. It was more like liver. Even then, there was no flavor. No rub or salt or any special spice mix or anything.

John B. Kim

Great foods and excellent service

nabhan chowdhury

Best if you eat the food while it’s hot. My favourite Mediterranean place. Prices are the same at any other taste of Mediterranean restaurant, it’s a franchise.

neptunesgirl49

My son and I ate at The Taste of Mediterranean restaurant, Rouge Valley Hospital, while I was there for check up. Honestly the worst meal I can ever remember eating. I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. Small portion to start with and the chicken was completely unidentifiable as chicken - rubbery texture, totally dried out and absolutely tasteless. A few bits of potato sat in a watery tomato sauce that was obviously from a can. The rice was plain white steamed rice that was just a lump of congealed mush, absolutely no spices anywhere. No feta cheese on the salad, no olives, just some tired looking lettuce and a bit of cucumber. My son had the gyros platter and he left most of it - so bad. Worst meal I have had ever. This place is a disgrace to Greek food.

Andy Moon

All staff were very friendly, patient and informative. Gave off a nice family owed vibe despite the up to date decor. All meals made in house, fresh to order. Had the chicken schnitzel and steak, both were awesome but the schnitzel in particular blew us away! You can even hear it getting pounded away all within view, which is fun. Oh, and the side of garlic dill potatoes hit the spot.

Matt G

Excellent place for dinner. A focus on fresh ingredients and good food. Crowded House is relatively small but certainly comfortable with very unique tables. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a chicken schnitzel with an app of Hummus, both were excellent. Great value for the money.

Jen and Jeff

We came to this cozy restaurant one busy Saturday night without a reservation. The owner was so incredibly nice. She made every effort to seat us . The menu looked so appetizing. We ordered 3 plate sampler, chicken schnitzel with crowded potatoes and the fig and goat cheese salad. We absolutely loved everything we ordered! The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the owners are so passionate about their craft. This is a highly recommended restaurant!!

Don Belyea

Great addition to the neighborhood. The owners and staff make you feel at home. All the food we ordered was so fresh and delicious, you can tell they do not cut corners when it comes to ingredients. Cozy atmosphere, great decor. You won't be disappointed.

Omar F

Came here to eat with my girlfriend and 2 other friends (who were unfortunately running a bit late) but even after they got there the service was nonexistent. Ended up leaving before they even asked for our drink order. Unfortunate, because my girlfriend really wanted to try it, and because they can't eat at many places (severe shellfish allergy) this is one of the few that is safe for them. Willing to try again if they can improve service speed.

Yoav Raiter

Amazing food, fresh and authentic. Celebration of flavors and spices on every plate. Personal touch nd friendly atmosphere. Big portions and a must visit culinary experience!

Hayden Cook

This is my new favourite restaurant in Toronto. The owners are so friendly and helpful with suggesting dishes. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Kyle

Really great place. Staff are super friendly and the environment is very welcoming. We ordered 3 appetizers and each were great. It's a smaller sized restuarant however it doesn't feel crowded. It's also an open concept, so you can watch them cook your food which I really enjoy. I highly recommend this place!

Jahangir Masood

Nice cozy middle Eastern place. Sent on a Sunday, there was just one guy serving a lot of people. So service was slightly slow but the server was really nice and efficient. I liked the mix and match platter that we ordered. Taste was as good as the presentation. Would recommend anyone looking for middle Eastern food to try their menu.

J. Andres Hannah-Suarez

Food amazing. But it's a potty they can't get their act together in getting said food to customers. This is the second time they've screwed me on Ritual. First time, they accepted the order, took my money, and then just closed for the night without preparing it. This time, they STARTED preparing it 5 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. So it ended up being given to me a full ten minutes after it was supposed to be ready, making me late for work. Worse, even after telling them I was now late, the manager kept trying to get me to stay to explain, but dude I was already running late. An the reason I insist on using Ritual? Because it takes them like 15 minutes to prepare food. Again delicious food, if you ever manage to get it.

Pat Thomson

Food always good, fresh, decent size portions. Sometimes a bit of a wait because there is only the one cook on. Worth the wait. Best shwarma place downtown i think. Why go to halal guys when you can go here.

John F

Best shawarma, kebabs, salads in the city. How anyone could give this place less than 5 stars is impossible to understand. In fact, M'Zaar deserves a 6 out of 5. And the staff is great. If they aren't overly friendly, it's only because they are hustling to assemble those great dishes and serve their customers quickly. When they have time to catch their breath, they are as (or more) friendly than any place along this stretch of Yonge St.

Michele D'Mello

Tried the Caramelized Onion Chicken Saj last week! Great portion and the staff are friendly! We went during the lunch hour on a week day and it was quite busy, but definitely worth the wait.

Parastoo Partovi

The food was so tasty and fresh, amount was so generous with reasonable prices! Nice staff and cozy environment! Highly recommended

Barron Cedric Tan

Place was alright. Wanting to try something different. Food and serving size was great. The ambience of the area was also very nice.

Onyi A.

I had a shawarma for the first time ever here and it was delicious. The chicken was juicy well seasoned and the mixture of sauces with toppings made it taste good. After eating here I believe shawarma is better than gyros.

This pleasant cafe has the most delicious chicken and lentil soup and the shawarma was excellent. The staff wee attentive and my friend and I decided to share a soup and expected two spoons, instead they kindly brought us two bowls. The only issue I had, they charge nearly three dollars for a can of pop and then they didn't have ice. Thankfully the can wasn't opened and I was able to send it back. Otherwise it was lovely and we are already planning our return. Also check out the little bookstore next door.

Joleen Montague

The Forest Hill location has polite and knowledgeable staff. I never have to wait for a table even on a Friday or Saturday night. The prices are average for the area and the food is delicious. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends. It's a small restaurant that makes you feel at home. The staff go out of their way to please you. I love that all the food is made fresh, including the hummus and fried eggplant. I never have to wait longer then 20 minutes for my meal and the food is some of the best I've ever had. It's definitely a restaurant that you can go to a few times a week. Also been there for their lunch and it's always nice. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Rosario Eisen

It’s a cozy place , my favourite is gulash soup and fallafa. Service is like been in your home kitchen . Food is very tasty. Home made !

Poor service and the poorest hummus I have ever had. Must have been an off night.

Had an amazing experience at Estia; we hosted a group dinner for 11 people for a special event and the service and food were outstanding. Felicia was incredible and everything was perfect! Highly recommend it.

veronica witty

Amazing Mediterranean food, and great ambiance in the city! (Especially on the patio in the summer) service is excellent! Very attentive and accommodating staff.. and funny! They were cracking some jokes with us throughout the service which was really nice :) not a single bad thing i can say about this place - will be returning very soon!

gira asadinik

Very nice place, food is good but not very special. Unfortunately our experience with staff was not nice at the end! Surprisingly they don’t add gratuity for groups, and this caused a bit of a shocking reaction from the server. Reported this to hostess and recommend the restaurant to set service charges for groups to avoid any conflicts directly between staff and customers.

Sasha Sh

Really nice place. Price but nice. Very good staff

suzanne fox

Beautiful restaurant. The staff are all SO incredibly friendly and helpful. Very impressed.

Alex Rewound

Estia is a really nice restaurant with excellent food and a great atmosphere. The sauce and the dill garnish on the octopus paired very well with the meat, even omitting the n’duja (I’m pescatarian so I got it without that). The spiced squash was amazing—the seasoning was perfect, and all of the components worked together to create a great experience texture- and flavor-wise. Portion size was reasonable—not too large at all, and the food was rich and satisfying enough that the smaller portions made sense. Service was quick but not rushed, and all of the workers were incredibly helpful and nice. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but the quality of the food and the experience as a whole was great.

flora huynh

KELLY Our waiter was he amazing!!! If waiters we’re like this were like this we’d be bankrupted eating out every day. That’s what my husband said hahahha. Food was fantastic and atmosphere was relaxing calming cozy and romantic if you want it to be.

Stephanie Gawur

Good meal option. It stay open till 3 am in the morning. Mostly I had food during late nights. The food quantity is good and good options for vegetarians.

Jose A. Fuenzalida

This place is not bad. Reasonable prices. I had the chicken shawarma wrap. Comes in a pita which they stuff with a little hummus and the chicken sliced off the rotisserie tabouli, onions, lettuce, cabbage, turnip. Then it's wrapped up and grilled in a press. Fresh and tasty ingredients. I also got a side of potatoes and rice. I had to try the baklava also which was good.

Vladislav Kostyukhin

Great place! I enjoyed the chicken shawarma plate combo. Fresh salad and delicious chicken! Among the best shawarma place in GTA. Advice to the management: Please use a better, more quality pita bread for your wraps. The ingredients are great, but the bread feels extremely plain.

Julia Kankis

Favourite Shawarma place ever! So many great fresh salad options too

Harsh Shah

This place is worth coming to simply because of their amazing MANGO SALAD!🙂 Amazing Chicken with just the right amount of a hint of that BBQ charcoal flavor. 🙁Thought their customer service is super lack luster, they don't actually listen to the customer. And I really wish these guys had a Tazaiki sauce !!!

Sebastian Luciano

Portions look small but I've been eating for 5 minutes and haven't made a dent. Fresh vegetables, food cooked in font of you and delicious. While I was eating I watched the owner generously feed a few poor hungry seniors while graciously telling them it was a gift. No payment required. This place is a blessing to the area.

Joshua Gelber

In my work neighbourhood - this is a great and cozy spot. Great weekday breakfasts, friendly service. But a little heavy handed filling coffee cups to the brim, a minor concern. Peameal bacon - not the best I've had, but lean and tasty.

i cruzito

The place serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Mediterranean and middle eastern style. Had dinner here... Had a fantastic burger, with some greens, delicious. Plenty of drink options available and desserts too. The atmosphere is laid back, with a nice view of bloor street. Table seating, some bar seats, and a front patio in the summer. Quick, friendly and attentive service. Recommend. #cafe #restaurant

Jamilya Armstrong

The place wasn't too bad, food is pretty good. When I came in, I didn't have the whole party with me, so they offered to wait outside. Ten minutes after my friend arrived, we were sitted, I have noticed another customer was sitting right next to me, waiting for her friend to come. I don't know what it was that I wasn't offered to wait inside but I found it really unpleasant. Different attitudes to different customers. My friend was unpleasantly surprised too because she tried to book a table for us but they said they don't take reservations. When we were there, we saw tables being reserved. You have to review your customer service policy because the attitude to people is not great. I am definitely not coming back. Some servers wouldn't even smile. Our guy was very good though.

Pelin Evrensel

Nice patio during summer time and fusion cuisine. Friendly and helpful staff

LeighAnn Frommann

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The calamari was delicious as well as the duck as our main. Would go back for sure!

Paul Comeau

Delicious, reasonably priced menu in the heart of the bustling Annex neighbourhood - home to urban professionals and University of Toronto students. Surrounded by book, clothing, and miscellaneous shops. Enjoy the art work by Toronto's celebrated and internationally employed muralist, Bill Wrigley ...

Shane Rochman

Wow! The smell is mouth watering, and the food is even more amazing!

Yassir EL MESBAHI

Great food, fast and friendly service and nice atmosphere (namely the background music). I highly recommend this place.
