Dhillon’s Karahi 1213 Bayview Ave, East York Indian • $$

“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.”

Olde Yorke Fish & Chips 96 Laird Dr, East York Fish & Chips • $$

“We recently visited The Olde Yorke and had a solid, classic fish and chips experience. The space has a cozy, traditional pub feel with a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere and very generous portions.

The fish and chips are clearly the highlight. The batter was golden and crisp, and the portion size is substantial. We chose the halibut, which is naturally more dense, so if you prefer a lighter, flakier texture, the cod would likely be the better option.

We also tried the clam chowder, which leaned slightly too fishy for our preference. The coleslaw was decent, but fairly simple and could have used a bit more flavour to stand out.

While not everything fully impressed, the overall meal still delivers on a traditional, comforting fish and chips experience.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming throughout.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for classic fish and chips, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a traditional approach.”

Pho Challenge 1025 Pape Ave, East York Vietnamese • $

“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.”

Eden Chinese Food 1025 Coxwell Ave, East York Chinese • $

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My son and I were looking for a cup of coffee, and were drawn to 367 Cafe by the promise of a patio. It's in the back and can be heated. Essentially this is a cozy cafe and sports bar. The very friendly proprietor told us it isn't worth his while to try to serve meals during the pandemic. The espresso was very good, however.”

Pho Lady 220 Laird Dr, East York Chinese • $$

“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.”

“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!”

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 :)”

“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.”

Eden Chinese Food 1025 Coxwell Ave, East York Chinese • $

“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!”

BBQ FIRE & SLICE 2859 St Clair Ave E, East York Pizza • $

“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.”

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.”
