The atmosphere of locals was a inviting and my friends and I enjoyed our food and the culture. Big shout out to Blake and Kaitlyn our servers of the night and if I missed any staff I do apologize. Most definitely coming back again soon.

Thank you for a wonderful experience .

“Wow! This place is such a great neighbourhood spot, I can see why there are so many glowing reviews. It does get busy, so get there earlier. There are some parking spots available if you're lucky.

Tip: I overheard someone get their chips well done. If only I had known...

The chowder is nice and creamy. The fish is crispy and light and they clearly use fresh oil because it tastes fresh and doesn't have much of an oily/greasy aftertaste. The cod cheeks are delectable. The coleslaw is a bit of the lighter end, but maybe I'm too used to the goopy soupy mess that is KFC's. Caesar salad is also a bit light.

And you cannot leave without trying the key lime pie! Another table egged me on to get it and I am forever grateful. The key lime pie is such a good, deep blend of the tartness, sour, and a bit of sweet. The crumble is also great. It's the perfect complement for fish and chips.

The service is phenomenal. They're so great and I could see the owner walking around chatting with some of the regulars.

I will definitely be coming back, especially to try that apple crisp.”

“The sushi here is amazing! My mom and I have been ordering from here for years, and we’re never disappointed. Some of the best sushi we’ve ever eaten. Thanks for so many wonderful meals!”

“This was the best Greek food I've had in a very long time. Real Greek homecooking. Absolutely juicy and delicious. Thank you! Looking forward to coming back very soon.”

“I went for a quick meal in mid-afternoon. I had the lamb and chicken combo which came with a side of green salad and rice. I chose not to have the rice. To my surprise I was I was charged less than what the price stated on the menu. The chicken and the lamb were both tender and spiced just right. I was very impressed by the quality of the food - fresh, clean and very tasty. For a quick and inexpensive meal, I highly recommend Afghan Cuisine on Overlea Blvd.”

“Forget the other burger places, Slayer Burger kicks ass. Vecna burger kicks ass, Fries, Onion Rings are great sides. Server is awesome. Check this place out.”

“The experience at La Casetta was amazing from start to finish! The live piano, the amazing hosts and service, the food was AMAZING! I will be dreaming of the fig appetizers forever!! Will definitely be back and will recommend to anyone who will listen!”

“Very friendly, helpful staff Satisfying rich food Filling proportions Waitstaff always checking for refills or other requests Clean restaurant Large, bold print menu for eye challenged people Prices a little too steep Main meal came out AFTER we finished appetizers, NOT during eating our appetizers”

“I tried catering menu for a surprise party where the birthday girl is a greek native. I was offering a smart healthy menu advice, reasonably priced and delivered impeccably. Fresh, properly packed and extremely delicious. Unbeatable ❤️❤️🥰”

“This is my go to place whenever I crave for fast pasta dishes as it got the real authentic Italian flavour. Warm and friendly staff is a plus because you feel welcomed each time.”

“very tasty food and owner of missisauga location is such a humble personality. best service.”

“delicious food and super friendly staff.”

“The food is always amazing, service is always impeccable and they always have top notch entertainment. If you want to try great Macedonian food and Balkan food in general and you live in Toronto, this is the place to visit.”

“My friend and I had lunch here for the first time. We were both unaware that the restaurant existed, finding it by happenstance.

It's located on the second floor of Longos, accessible by elevator or stairs. Nice atmosphere. Quiet, great place to go with friends, where you can easily hear the conversation.

Food service and options were simple, but very good. Nice selection of beverages, wine and beer. Everything was very reasonably priced.

We each had the mushroom soup, which was a bit on the sweet side. We then shared the charcuterie and cheese plate. I wish there was another type of salami on the platter vs the low quality proscuitto that was offered.

I would recommend some advertising to increase occupancy/usage of the restaurant.”

“Great food. Great service. Definitely will return to try other dishes. Spicy 😥”

“I always enjoy coming to this Booster Juice. The staff is professional and attentive, and the smoothies are always blended perfectly. It’s a great place to grab something healthy on the go.”

“Ordered food from this place to be delivered for a small special occasion and honestly, the food was pretty good. Got my food in record time and everything was nice and hot.

It was through UberEats and they had some deals. Got 2 orders of wings, chicken fried rice and coke cans each, plus an order of shanghai noodles. The flavours of the wings and fried rice were great, nicely seasoned.
Shanghai noodles were good too, flavour just was slightly different compared to other shanghai noodle dishes in other Chinese places so I wasn't into it personally. Doesn't have that dark soy sauce colour.

The whole process to get my food was 20 minutes, including the actual delivery time, which kind of scared me.

And honestly was scared to order here at first given the past reviews, but I wouldn't shy away from ordering here again. Everything I ordered was overall delicious.”

“We ordered from skip the dishes So delicious and great value”

“Amazing quality of food and love the indoor vibes”

“Absolutely delicious food, wonderful staff too. Highly recommend!”

“Ordered this beautiful Chinese dinner tonight through Uber Eats as a treat! It was a feast of Cantonese chowmein, sweet and sour chicken balls, jumbo breaded shrimp, plain rice, szechwan beef and chips with curry sauce.

So much fresh meat and veg in the dishes, food was flavourful and loved the sauce. Chicken balls and shrimp are huge, but inside was a nice amount of meat to batter and it was so crunchy....we just loved that part! Came with sweet and sour sauce as well. The curry sauce was really good but the chips not so delicious just ok.

The great part was the amount of food received and price, it cost us $52 on the uber eats app! We have alot of left overs to enjoy another day!

Definitely will order here again, and try other dishes!

Ringing the happy bell tonight!”

“best fruit cocktail drink 🍹👍”

“Everyone needs to check out this spot! A true hidden gem tucked away in East York. I've been coming here for a while, and everything on the menu is fresh, high quality, delicious, and made with special care. But my absolute go-to is the Maple Bacon Onion Smash Burger - it's one of a kind and a must try! Top Smash burger joint in the city.”

“Great service always. Variety of desserts. Good quality. Lots of products. Great custom birthday cakes”

“Very friendly staff and absolutely INCREDIBLE food! We ordered the Momo Tikka Masala, among other dishes, and when the plate arrived, the aroma hit our nostrils and knocked us back in our seats. Then we took our first bite and transcended into another universe. I would drive multiple hours just to come back. HIGHLY recommend!!”

“absolutely love this place 😍 every single thing I order I love more than the last ,from the in house sauce to the perfect chicken sandwiches you can not go wrong with this wonderful restaurant it's not just the food either , the staff is amazing, friendly and accurately fills orders quickly I look forward to take out night because this is our go to”

“A puff above! The homemade loukoumades and desserts at Yaya's are beyond delicious and perfect treats for your holiday gatherings. The staff are warm and friendly and make you feel like family. Order once and be prepared for many return trips. Deeelish!!! 😋”

“Was craving an acai bowl liek the ones you get in Cali after surfing. TBH, kinda dissapointed. Granted, that I did get a custom one, but it was simliar to the ingredients I would get from Cali.

Basically, it was more sour and berry-like, than tasting like ACAI, less treat-like and more like a sorbet.”

“Very delicious cakes. Not too sweet, fresh whipped creams, fresh fruits 🤤 We loved a croissant sandwich, baguette 🥖 and loaf bread 🍞 too”

“Wow! I am so glad I found this place! The service is really fantastic and friendly. Pick up took no time and when I arrived I was really impressed with how everything looked. I have no idea why I waited so long to check this place out and I cant wait to order again, a gem of East York. My only regret is that I didn't get more food lol”

“The blonde young girl was rude Un enthusiastic you need to get her out of there! December 18th at 4:00 pm we were excited first time in there she did not crack a smile. Otherwise hands down great cookies and pot pie.”

“Love the build your own platter concept of this place. Basically, Ako allows you to mix and match the sushi, sashimi and maki you're craving and charges based on the number of different items you get. Mega bonus points for this!

After looking over all the options, I chose salmon sashimi, octopus sashimi, and bbq eel sushi. Quality was pretty good, cuts were thick, and the value was insane!

Place is takeout. People are super friendly. Prices are amazing based on the quantity you get. Definitely recommend this place if you want to pick and choose good sushi without breaking the bank.”

“Breakfast is amazing and just the right portion. Love the old diner feel the place has. Must go and check it out. They typically close at 4pm and closed on Mondays.”

“If you’re looking for a delicious and affordable summer treat, you have to try their barf gola for less than $5. This unique ice dish is fully loaded with dry fruits, making each bite a delightful experience.We also explored their menu and were thoroughly impressed. Here’s what we tried:Butter Paneer Pizza: This pizza was outstanding. The precooked toppings, including the butter paneer, blended perfectly to create a mind-blowing taste. Each bite was rich and flavorful.Chicken Wings: These wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning was spot-on, making them an irresistible treat.Crispy Chicken Burger: OMG, this burger was delicious! The crispy chicken patty was perfectly cooked, and the combination of fresh toppings and sauce made it an unforgettable experience.Tandoori Chicken Pizza: To finish, we had the Tandoori Chicken Pizza. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the pizza dough was soft and cooked to perfection. The spices and toppings melded beautifully, making it an extraordinary dish.If you're craving delicious food this summer, this spot is a must-visit. From refreshing barf gola to mouthwatering pizzas and burgers, they have it all. Check out this place and enjoy satisfying all your summer cravings in one spot!”

“Perfection! I ordered a birthday cake for my 9-year old who’s obsessed with Harry Potter. I gave them a picture of the exact cake from the first movie, which is what my daughter wanted - intentionally mispelled words and all. It was perfect and exactly what we asked for. AND it was a delicious strawberry-white chocolate cake on the inside. SO good! Would definitely re-order from here.”

“Such a great place extremely friendly service. I had the jerk chicken and they let me change the rice to salad at no extra cost. I got two types of salad, the pasta salad, and their taboule. Both were amazing and the chicken was extremely juicy seasoned to perfection and the sauce that came on top of it was amazing. Also great portion!”

“loved the cheese and spinach pitas everything is super fresh. Flavoured coffees are also great.”

“The best SHAWARMA EVER keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻many thanks 🌺”

“Best coffee!! My mom and I visited Arto Cafe. It's beautifully designed. Classy and elegant. The hospitality is outstanding. After, we went to Arto Bakery where it is always such a pleasant experience!! And the best part .....it's so close to home!! Thank you Arto Cafe / Bakery 👏”

“We are thrilled to have finally found the best neighbourhood Fish & Chips shop. The owners are so kind, the quality of the fish + the batter is perfect and the price and size of each are great! We will be back, weekly!”

“no words for food quality but the treatment was excellent you dont see this in many places”

“Great latte !! 👍😊☕️ practicing social distance :)”

“Quick shipping. Ive been looking for an affordale source of Monin Syrup for home use...could not find anything in my area (London, Ont)...chose Beanwise because of so many possitive reviews about their stores. My syrups arrived safely within 2 days. Very happy. Will use them again when i am out of my syrups.”

“I went to pickup an order, at 4 am in the morning o september 9th, the lady working in the front was so friendly mannered. Will come back to this place again for for sure!”

“Ordered the combo with rice, chicken balls, eggroll and chop suey. Portion great price worth every penny. My overall issue the rice was very oily with no taste like it was old and reheated.”

“We had a large party to celebrate our daughter’s engagement to her fiancé last weekend with well over 80 people to feed. The food from Skara was on time, hot and delicious! Our guests kept asking us where the delicious gyros was from. Skara! I would highly recommend Skara for your catering needs. I will definitely continue to use them. #bestgyros #skaracatering #catering #partyfood”

“This 50s style diner is clearly a neighbourhood favourite. We came on a weekday for brekkie at 10am and it was busy. We quickly got a table and were pleasantly greeted and immediately brought coffee. Portion size was just enough and prices were reasonable. The turkey bacon was a little over done as were the breakfast potatoes. Maybe just an off day? I won't hold it against them. Not great for street parking as it is close to a busy intersection, but if you are able, park a little south and its much easier to park. Overall, a pleasant experience.”

“Beautiful place, amazing food!”

“Stuff you are very professional they explained to me that there is Halal option. Made me and my family very comfortable eating here. I have to say their pizza was very delicious and stuff was very friendly.”

“I have only ordered takeout from China Food, so I am not sure about the in-house dining experience. But the food is delicious, the portions are generous, and you can't beat the prices. I am also happy to support a local business that is a long-time member of the community. This type of local family business is on the endangered list in Toronto, and I plan to enjoy their food for as long as I can.”

“A nice Vietnamese place in Pape Village and a nice change within the many dominant Greek restaurants in the area.

The interior is nice and the place is always kept clean. The times I've been here, the food is always good. Pho is definitely worth it here.

Critiques I have of this place could be that music could be played or something, or even a radio channel. The place is kept dead silent, so the atmosphere could be very awkward if no one's talking. Or you could very much be able to eavesdrop on another table's conversation. On the off chance, the staff could be playing some Vietnamese news in the background, but that's pretty much it.
Staff could also try to be more on the friendlier side. They aren't rude, more so cold and straightforward.

Despite everything, I'd still come back here just for the food.”

“Tandoori chicken pizza: wide slices with thin crust holds shape perfectly. Cheese and toppings well balanced, tasty and so easy to eat. Not greasy or messy - works perfectly with the dipping sauce.”

“Forget about! Can't believe it took me so long living in the neighborhood to visit. I'll be back to enjoy a cold one on a nice patio again this summer.”

“Love the typical diner feel. I come with my family once in awhile for Sunday morning breakfast. Staff is friendly and attentive. Our go to spot for dine in breakfast!”

“Great food, great prices, great service, and, very clean.”

“Food is fresh and delivered quickly and still hot.”

I ordered their “Everyday Special “- A large breast, a drumstick, fries and a fountain drink for the price of…wait for it…$6.19. You can get regular or spicy too. Took it home and the chicken was exactly the way I like it, crispy and cooked just right. How can you lose at that price.”

I worked with Gopi for the menu planning, and he was incredibly helpful, suggesting a variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The customer service and support were excellent throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!”

“What a gem! Bravo to the people who work there! I have ate a whole pizza to myself now 2 days in a row 🙃 I had the cowspiracy, the tour de france, and I shared the Dino bones pizza lol I love different things. I also love quality good deals. This was it! One of the best things I have ever had and I almost feel you all have up my flavor pallette 👌💯🙌”

“Great place. Fried rice is tasty. I wish the place was not so far from my home. I would have come often. They should change the sign on the door though. It's written "PUSH" on the outside when you have to pull it open. The last thing we want is people thinking the place is closed.”

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food pictures!

Back with the Baklava, as it becomes the baseline for establishing good bakeries, it is filled with a thick layer of walnuts soaked in a sweet, sticky syrup. A pastry that's quickly climbing my personal ranks, Galaktoboureko features a smooth custardy bite with a touch of vanilla, contrasted with the subtly crisp filo dough on top that's soaked with honey syrup.”

“i am in the area all summer as I go to Kiwanis pool daily. I stopped in one day to get a slice and they offered veggie or pepperoni. I chose veggie and the slice was gigantic and dripping with cheese and profuse toppings! The crust was crispy and excellent and I was amazed at how great it was! I am disabled and need to use a walker and the worker at the front held the door open for me and was extremely accommodating! I have been back several times since then. I am going to try the chicken and the ribs next time. The owner is Sri Lankan and very friendly as well as his children who work there. The prices are also very good, 6.00 for a slice with pop! The restaurant was very clean also.”

Owner is extremely friendly and welcoming, always treated us well”

I recently tried their Tandoori Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious—bursting with unique flavors that set it apart from other places. The quality of the pizza is consistently top-notch, with fresh ingredients that make all the difference. I’m truly impressed with the taste and overall dining experience. Thank you, Watan Grill Pizza, for offering such amazing food and excellent service. Highly recommended!”
