“We were amazed and delighted to have had the opportunity to dine here. My partner is Palestinian and was excited to recommend and share in dishes that he had growing up. We ordered a lot so had to do a takeaway box but overall, we enjoyed each and every bite of the dishes. Must try’s are Limonada, Salatat Friekeh and Chicken Fukhara!”

Zenku Japanese To Go 210 Mortimer Ave, East York Japanese • $$
210 Mortimer Ave, East York

“Craving sushi for dinner and found this take out spot. The restaurant looks nice and smells like it has good sushi, so I decided to try a few things.The Maki platter B seems to feature a different selection of rolls over time, but I had California roll, yam tempura roll, spicy salmon roll, salmon avocado roll, mad crab roll, double shrimp roll and dynamite roll. The first 4 rolls are common among sushi restaurants so I will not be reviewing those here. The rice is pretty well done, neither too sweet or sour.My favourite is the mad crab roll is a shrimp tempura roll with shredded imitation crab and spicy mayo on top. The sauce does not overpower the rest of the components. The shredded crab adds sweetness to the otherwise simply crunchy roll.Double shrimp is a close second, with two shrimp tempura in the middle and 1 cooked shrimp with torched mayo on top. This is such an excellent idea to add more shrimp flavour into the maki.Not on the menu online, is the zenku udon, a simple dashi broth udon with fish cake and deep fried tofu pocket. This is not simply a udon, but a warm flavourful delight that you can't easily find around town. I highly recommend ordering that to eat with sushi.Lastly, the highlight of the meal is their spicy salmon yubu tart. It is a recently popularized way of enjoying a rice ball adjacent product. The spicy salmon is enhanced by small bits of onion and green onion mixed together. The sweet tofu skin exterior rounds out the general flavour of the rice ball, such that soy sauce or wasabi are not necessary.I am very surprised by the quality of the food and can't wait to be back to try bento, donburi and tempura when I'm in the neighborhood. This is an excellent take out sushi restaurant that I would highly recommend to friends.”

La Casetta 900 Millwood Rd, East York Italian • $$
900 Millwood Rd, East York

“Had a Ceasar Salad, Tonnarelli Pasta and a Neapolitan Pizza. Everything was great. Though it was full quarters there was parking right in front. Our waitress recommended the Asti Barberry wine and it was perfect. One small thing: two of the large sea-shells were empty but i found their treasures later in among the others in the sauce. Probably best if they were stuck back inside their shells as the dish is being plated, if possible, for customers who may wonder, not realizing where they've disappeared to.”

Pape Village 942 Pape Ave, East York Greek • $$
942 Pape Ave, East York

“AWESOME FAMILY RESTAURANT AND VERY REASONABLE PRICE! We've been to quite a few restaurants along Danforth since it's more convenient, and we thought - why don't we go a bit farther from the major intersection and see how it goes? I'm glad we did and what a great experience at Pape Village! I'd admit we aren't too familiar with Greek cuisine so it took us a while to go over the menu and had to ask a bunch of questions. It was a busy night (even though it was early on a weeknight), but the staff was very patient in answering our questions and gave us some good ideas. Unlike some other places in the area, they didn't rush us in placing the order at all and we appreciated that very much! We started with two appetizers: taramosalata (a fish roe dip) and fried calamari. The dip was great - the typical good quality you'd expect from a decent restaurant. What really surprised us was the fried calamari - it was perfectly deep fried with thin batter, and the squid was so tender :) Then, we ran into a "challenge" - we were sort of half full by that time, and judging by the food portion from other guests, we decided to order just one main course to share. It turns out to be a great decision as the main course was HUGE!!! We wanted to order the Kontosouvli Pork, but it's only available during weekend thus we ordered Pork Souvlaki instead. The pork was nicely grilled - super tender and juicy. Given the high food quality and excellent services, the price was more than reasonable. We'll definitely visit again, probably during weekend in order to try the Kontosouvli Pork :)”

California Restaurant & Bar 914 Pape Ave, East York Modern European • $$
914 Pape Ave, East York

“Food is consistently well prepared, tasty and of generous proportions. My favourite being the salmon, which is grilled to perfection every time I've had it. The prices are fair and on par with other restaurants in the area. The service is very friendly. It's a family business, and they do truly take care of their patrons. Add to that, that the interior of the restaurant creates a comfortable and inviting ambience and you've got a winner. Oh, and the patio is very cool with a ceiling of grapevines and twinkling lights hanging down the wall. I would warn that it's very loud, unfortunately because it's right on the corner of Pape and Mortimer so traffic's right beside it, but they have created an enclosed space with a look of a garden, which makes up for the loud noise.”

“Best crust available locally. Generous toppings. Friendly people. This has become our “Go To” pizza joint. Whether it’s takeout or eat in the pizza’s always delicious. We have been many times for a slice and ordered out quite a few. By now we’ve just about sampled all the many styles available. The pizza is always made right with a nice brown bottom and plentiful toppings. We probably have 10-15 pizzerias within a couple of miles and this is the only one we now use.”

“I love Subhan Halal Pizza and their fried Chicken; they are more delicious compared to several other pizza stores I’ve tried in Toronto. I also appreciate the fact that I don't have to worry about my food or cheese being haram. Sometimes I go to Subhan Pizza in person, but mostly order from them via Uber Eats, and sometimes they forget to include things like creamy garlic but that's Human and alright. I HAVE TO EAT THEIR PIZZA TWICE EVERY MONTH! Also, I think their customer service will do much better if they smile a bit more. ?”
