“We have passed the sign for Dhillon's Karahi many times without eating there. That is our loss. We decided on a whim to check it out this evening and were delighted with our meal. The samosas were delicious: having the sauces on top, rather than on the side, gave them a special flavour. The mixed vegetables and Lamb Korma were perfectly done. And the Naan and rice were the perfect compliments. We enjoyed and will be back. Thank you.”
“Had the pleasure of being served by Harrison. Did a great job! Attentive and helpful with great suggestions and a good attitude. Made for a very enjoyable experience.”
“A really great place to go for a filling meal. Service is top notch, the place is clean, plated portion size is crazy and the food tastes good. Only thing is that it's a little hideaway place, so you really have to know the area”
“exceptional tastes! they have unique offerings compared to other sushi restaurants in the neighborhood.”
“Lovely restaurant with great food and good customer service. We were seated in the patio which was very nice and had air conditioning. Food came out piping hot and was tasty. Staff regularly checked in on us which was great.
Only criticism was that we found a bug in the vinegar. Once pointed out to staff, it was addressed promptly, but still dampened our experience.”

“Probably the best Sushi I have had in the GTA. Small, community place, but the quality of the food is fantastic.
Friendly, casual atmosphere and always busy. Make a reservation.”
“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.”

“Absolutely love this family-owned coffee shop. They have amazing Greek pastries, delicious coffee, and great prices. The vibe is super friendly, and the owners and staff are so warm and welcoming, they really make you feel like part of the family. I go there almost every day now to work while enjoying a cup of coffee. Thank you Yaya's 💕”
“Highly recommended! It was so good we forgot to take pictures and just started eating. The chowmein tastes exactly like authentic chowmein from Nepal—never found this taste anywhere else. I don't normally leave reviews, but this was fabulous. Hats off, keep it up!”

“Cảm ơn nhiều ☺️.
Based on my late night pho dac biet take-out I just finished enjoying, this restaurant is legit and classic. It reminds me of my childhood 🥹. When I walked in, there were 3 generations present - and this was beautiful to see.
I'm Vietnamese-Canadian, my parents are from Saigon, Vietnam. So, I've probably had more than 500 bowls of homemade pho in my lifetime so far 🤣. I don't normally review restaurants until I dine-in because usually take-out/pick up isn't nearly as good - but this was wonderful:
The pho dac biet was good: The broth has that perfect very slight sweetness and was nice and clear & clean, the bò viên (beef meat balls) are handmade (which most places in Toronto don't do), and you get all the proper herbs and fixens you're supposed to get (which not a lot of Toronto spots do with this level of detail). These details alone make whatever I payed for the bowl more than worth it.
I recommend supporting and enjoying this small, local, hard-working family-run restaurant.”
“We just ordered My Big Fat Greek meal and an 18” Golden Pizza for pick up. The kids and adults were so happy with the food. Fresh ingredients, quality meats, delicious salad, and lots of everything, including sauces. And as it always is when we go for pizza at Grampas - he orders from here religiously- the pizza was phenomenal, with kids vying for the yummy dough ball in the middle. AND the price was so reasonable. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be (only 20min from the time we ordered), and the guys were warm and friendly and clearly just good, hard working people. We will be ordering again soon and repeatedly. I highly recommend Golden Pizza Geo :)”
“I stumbled upon this and decided to go in. First, they have parking right at the restaurant, which is a nice perk. Second, the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was tastefully done. Typically pho restaurants are minimalist at best. Third, the staff member greeted me politely and was very attentive while I was there.
When I received my food it was presented beautifully. Again, I was not expecting this kind of presentation at a pho restaurant. The most important part, is the food tasted great and the portion size was quite large. I would definitely go back.”
“Absolutely love the food from EDEN, on Coxwell Avenue. It is our local and we get take out at least 1 - 2 times a week. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—every dish had that perfect balance of taste and texture you hope for. The portions are generous, and there is something to please everyone in our family ...we love all of their soups and noodle dishes, our faves. The restaurant is clean, however not a fancy dining environment, just basic tables and chairs. I think most of their business is take out, so they haven't done much with the dining room. The staff are warm, attentive, and always recognize "regulars' in a welcoming way. Service is always quick, and everything arrives hot and beautifully presented. Happy to recommend this lovely little place. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a relaxed meal, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Definitely a go-to for delicious, comforting Chinese food—I’ll be back for sure!”
“Diamond Pizza is a long running neighborhood favorite in East York. We’ve been coming for years and love seeing the familiar faces running the business. My favorites are the super sub, souvlaki, pizzas and of course the panzerottis! They make everything well and you won’t be disappointed. Give them a try today! 💚”
“Went here for dinner after walking through the Don River trails. We were seated immediately outside on the patio. The service was great and the food came super fast! Everything we got was delicious - bread basket, falafel, salad, chicken souvlaki, potatoes, rice, etc. and all for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back.”
“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 👌💯🙌”
“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.”

“Everytime I come to this location theirs always a issue ..today I was there they had no cash to give me for change. I had to leave the food (they already made the food) collect back my cash and go somewhere else to buy food . Im fed up of this and im not going back to this location”
“Came on a Thursday afternoon and although it was empty it was very good! As a Japanese it felt authentic and I loved the music choice, never change the music please!
I appreciated that the salmon roll wasn’t filled with tempura bits like other places, which I don’t really like about western sushi! Will be back”
“Great quality. Easy online purchase and timely delivery. Highly appreciated!”

“My friends and I went here during the early of June this year and I forgot to review, so sorry!!
I really like the interior and the vibe of this diner but, it’s a little small so you gotta make sure that you go during a time that isn’t very busy. My friends and I didn’t have to wait because it wasn’t very busy that day, we’re just a group of lucky duckies!
I really liked my food. I have a bit of a weird order because I don’t really like toppings on my steak sandwiches so, it’s basically steak and break. But, I’m sure for the people that enjoy the toppings will still like it. But the steak was really the show-stopper for me. It tasted really good! The fries… oh my days. So totally awesome
My friends shared the poutine which they weren’t that fond of because of the mustard and pickles but the thing is… they read the name and thought it sounded cool and didn’t read the ingredients. Haha, silly them.
Had a great time, will probably come back again!”
“One of my fav ice cream parlors in the city! Vast selection of flavors that rotate, plus milkshakes and floats (who doesn't like a root beer float?). I'm a sucker for Mint Chip, but their Graham Cracker Crunch and Almond Butter flavors are also killer, on a waffle cone of course. Love a good mom and pop shop #supportlocal”

“I had a great experience at Avoca! The chocolate and ice cream were both amazing and everything tasted fresh, rich, and high quality. There were lots of delicious flavors to choose from, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the visit even better. The store was clean and had a cozy atmosphere. If you’re looking for a sweet treat or premium chocolate, I highly recommend Avoca. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“I know they open very early for the amazing breakfast menu, but my only disappointment is that the kitchen closes too soon at night. Maybe they should announce last call for food like they do for alcohol as 1030pm seems very early when people need to absorb the drinks while enjoying the amazing LIVE local talent on Saturday nights. 10/10 for Mark, Reno & the Chefs :)”
“The sushi was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. Our server, Hyunmin, served us on the patio with a warm smile even though he was very busy. Despite having to walk back and forth several times to take care of us outside, he remained friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting on the patio!”
“Great food. Great service. Definitely will return to try other dishes. Spicy 😥”

“We went to this cafe after our pedia appointment because the smell of the food was so good that it attracted us so we went in and try their food. They serve good food here. I had the penne pasta in tomato sauce with beef and it came with side of salad which i also liked. I also ordered their buttered chicken to go and it didnt disappoint, it came with potato and rice. Chicken was big and the potato and sauce of butter chicken taste so good.”
“I highly recommend Zerrin for custom made cakes! She has made three cakes for me. One for my baby shower and cakes for my son’s 1st and 2nd birthdays, and each one was absolutely beautiful. The designs were delicate and exactly what I asked for, and the cakes tasted amazing every time.
If you’re in the East York area and looking for delicious, custom cakes, she’s the best choice!”
“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 👏”
“Oh my goodness!! If I could give more stars I would. The Haddock was absolutely delicious! It was so fresh and piping hot. The fish was cooked perfectly. The French fries were also piping hot. The gravy was good. It would have been nice to serve such delicious fish with homemade Tatar Sauce but it was not. Just packets. I think my head would have blown off had it been homemade. That’s how delicious it was. Regardless of packaged Tatar Sauce, it was still over the top- good to eat.”

“I have been eating here for a while now. I don't know why I have never left a review but better late than never!
The food here is great, and the way they treat you is even better! I recommend eating food from here.
It is a sports bar though, so maybe don't come here for a date - but if you want to catch the game, go for it!”
“I had such a wonderful visit here. The pastries are absolutely top-tier and baked to perfection.
The cinnamon roll was incredibly soft and had just the right amount of thick glaze on top. You can tell they really care about quality. I will definitely be back for more soon.”
“We drive by this small shop a number of times. We order the Spaghetti meatballs and Parma Focaccia Sandwich. The Spaghetti is freshly made with chewy texture and the tomato sauce pairing well with the meatball. The pasta is very tasty. The Focaccia bread has a crunchy crust and all the ingredients are freshly and very delicious. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. The staff is very friendly!”
“Lived in the neighborhood for 40 years and just found this little gem hidden away, I never knew it was there after all these years. Mandarin at Yonge and Eglinton just closed down so finding this place couldn't have come at a better time. Although I wish I had known about it long before now.”

“Service is very pleasant, Jim was a big help from helping me decide what to get to pay out. I commend the patience and hospitality of the service crew working here. Would visit again!”

“The Service was great but I will never order the pancakes from them again, I was undercooked and dorothy on the inside. I told our waitress and they brought me a new one and It's same thing, either they don't communicate with the kitchen or the people who cook the pancakes just don't care. Eventhough the waitress has rectify the issue and asked me if I want to order something else but everyone already finished eating so end up didn't get to eat.”
“I love this place mainly because they sometimes have the largest fried chicken thighs! It’s also Halal, crispy and freshly made.
It’s a hidden gem and a small place with some tables and warm neighbourhood vibe. When I’m in the area I usually get the 2 mixed fried chicken $5.99 (price as of June 2026).
The owner is a nice, older man and service is usually fast when it’s not busy. Only negative is the leftover chicken reheated next day from fridge unfortunately tastes bland. Popeyes Chicken is still tasty when reheated the next day.”
“Stepping into Sophie's isn't just about watching a game or having a bite to eat, it's like coming home. The moment you're greeted by owners George and Sophie, you feel an instant warmth that's rare to find. They don't just run a business — they're the heart of the place, always taking the time to chat and make sure everyone feels like a regular. What truly sets Sophie's apart is their deep commitment to the community. Whether they're hosting a fundraiser or sponsoring a sports event, George and Sophie consistently show up and give back. They're also unwavering LGBTQ+ allies, creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone. It's clear they care about more than just their bottom line, they care about the people and the neighbourhood they serve. Sophie's is more than a sports bar, it's a true community hub, and we're lucky to have it.”
“Hi, the manager at this Burger King is amazing! She cares. It's a very welcoming environment. We need people like this. Many places in Toronto are full of arrogance. It's embarrassing and shameful. Sorry.. But this staff is sincere and genuine.. We need friendliness and politeness. I'll always be a returning customer! Thank you!!!!! J”
“I’ve been living in the area for over 2 years and never tried their fried chicken until yesterday. 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.”
“Duffy's Drive-In is a charming spot that transports you back to a time when people cared.
The burgers are so delicious, they are unmistakably crafted with love and feeling.
Have a seat and enjoy a cold beer while you wait (because you can't rush art), the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere is worth it!”

“food arrived hot, i asked for a few accommodations like no vegetables and sauce on the side because im picky, and they fulfilled them easily. super cheap but still massive portions. the food was a little bland but thats 100% on me since i asked to remove the things that make them taste good like the veggies and the sauce. yummy!”
“We ordered the fresh French orange juice at Real Fruit Bubble Tea, and it was amazing! They squeezed the oranges right in front of us, which was great to see. They also asked if we wanted sugar or not before sealing the drink. My son loved the fresh orange juice.
The price was affordable, customer service was friendly, and the place was clean. They also have a small seating area to enjoy your drinks.
Highly recommend for fresh and tasty drinks!”

“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.”

“Made a stop for an espresso here. EPL games on the TV, lots of clientele watching and enjoying a coffee. Espresso was pretty good. I like having mine standing up at the bar and getting in and out quickly. Nice spot and if I lived in the area I would make more of a point to stop in for a quick espresso”
“Good quality flavourful and authentic home-style food. Friendly and knowledgeable host was happy to answer our questions about Mediterranean dishes and culture. Great experience overall.”
