“The food was delectable and savory, the prime rib melts in your mouth like cotton candy, the fries were golden brown (better than mcdonalds signature fries) and the waitress (Athena) gave me a complementary name engaraved personalized mint on the way out of the resturant !!!!!! Very hospitable enviornment and lovely owners. There was also a boucy castle and playground/room for my triplets adam, roman and oliver !!!!!!! Highly reccomend errybody pullup the resturant to eat lots of food and have a great time in a great place with a great waiter and a great environment.”
“Great all you can eat sushi place. The food gets served right after ordering, you don’t have to wait long to start stuffing your face. I like the little privacy screens between the tables. Now no one can judge me when I eat 10 spicy lamb skewers in a row. The sushi rolls and sashimi are fantastic too.”
“I want to give 5 star review to this restaurant, the food was awesome and the staff provided excellent service especially priyanshi. I highly recommend this place you will not be disappointed by the food and service. My recommendation for the appetizers is grand chat and TGM platter.”
“I introduced my husband to this fabulous Indian Hakka restaurant which we visited recently for dinner. We ordered delicious Nepalese Chicken Tandoori Malai Momos which I had raved about ever since I ordered them once for lunch. The momos arrived on a sizzling platter with crisp shredded cabbage and a coriander dipping sauce. After tasting them, my husband agreed he would definitely order them again! We also ordered battered, mildly spiced Hakka Salt and Pepper Prawns (highly recommended), along with Lamb Saag curry, Jeera rice and Garlic Naan. The food arrived quickly and the staff were very friendly. Everything tasted delicious! Although we were very full and satisfied we couldn't resist ordering some tasty sweets, Gulab Juman and Rasmulai, for dessert with some Masala tea. This neighborhood gem is one of the best Indian restaurants in KW -- we look forward to coming back!”
“Delicious traditional Turkish cuisine. Fantastic flavors. Platters and Donair offer unique flavor combinations in every bite. Polite and Graceful servers. Beautiful Turkish decor.”

“Coming here with young kids is just a great experience!! The person who took our order was super patient and pleasant and worked with our older kid so they could order on their own and get exactly what they wanted.Portion sizes are generous and the food was delicious. Great vegetarian options, too: we had a haddock bowl and a bean and rice enchilada, as well as a bean and rice burrito. The whole experience felt personal and caring, ordering wasn't rushed, we could take our time.We'll definitely be coming back.”

“Posting this review to keep the staff motivated and appreciatedI ordered a 1kilo BBQ platter and a Family Shawarma Platter for an Iftaar Party and food was delicious. Good quantity,Staff is amazingly helpful to make the right choice and food quality delivered was amazing. Food was nice hot and juicy.Thank you for making my first Iftaar party amazing.”
“We come here all the time. The prices are fantastic, the food is delicious and staff are so friendly . The food is all fresh, delish and made when you order (not sitting, like fast food joints). I don't think we've had a bad meal here.The main reason we keep coming back (besides how delicious the food is) is for the friendliness of the whole team. Humza and his mother, along with all their staff now know us when we come in and always make us feel welcomed. (We see this with many of their customers) It's so refreshing and nice to see owners getting to know their customers.They truly make you feel at home here and are always so friendly. Give them a try if you haven't yet. Plus, always love to support local, family businesses when we can.”

“A HIDDEN GEM IN KWC!!Recently visited BarBurrito at the Fairway location and ordered their crunchy chicken bowl, falafel bowl and extreme fries. The experience was fast, satisfying, and highlighted by several positive aspects.The falafel bowl was a flavorful vegetarian option, with well-seasoned falafel complemented by fresh veggies and sauces, providing a satisfying and wholesome taste. The combination of vibrant vegetables elevated the overall freshness of the meal, making it a satisfying and well-balanced option.BarBurrito Fairway itself was clean and neat, creating a pleasant dining environment. The attention to cleanliness added to the overall positive impression, making the dining experience more enjoyable.The team (Poojan, Romil, Nisarg and Jaydip) at BarBurrito Fairway were amazing and welcoming. It's always refreshing to encounter a team that goes the extra mile to make customers feel welcome and appreciated.”
“Came here for the first time with my boyfriend on Saturday for lunch. The food was delicious and I love the atmosphere. Shoutout to our server John! He was very pleasant and his service was fantastic. We will definitely be back to try more menu items!”
“Went on St Patty’s day and it was super fun! Servers were nice and checked in regularly. Live music was great, good food and fun interactive atmosphere. They also have board games so it’s great for group hangouts!”

“Fabulous! I enjoyed the beet salad and the filet mignon. Both were super tasty and beautifully presented. Steve had the French onion soup and a strip loin which he raved about. Service was excellent. We were celebrating our anniversary and we were offered a free dessert of sticky toffee pudding which was so lovely and an appreciated touch. Thanks so much. Highly recommend!!”

“Chef Firooz has been my favorite chef for years. Saturday I had the Roasted Pork Filet and was totally blow away. By far, the best Pork dish I have ever had. Amazing tender texture, such a tasty spicy sauce, but not too hot, over beautiful mashed potatoes along with perfectly cooked asparagus and carrots.You have to try the Roasted pork Filet.Firooz, please keep this item on the menu.Ross”
“We have visited Arabesque several times over the last few years. This last time we ordered the family platter… plus some french fries for the kids!The quality of the food was outstanding… healthy, fresh ingredients and expert preparation. Service was friendly and prompt. All 6 of us had a delicious and memorable experience. The owner seems to always be on site and friendly… very concerned that we have a good time.In our opinion Arabesque is a jewel in the maze of family dining options. Wonderful value. Without hesitation we recommend them to anyone wanting exotic food choices.Kid-friendliness: Very gracious and accommodating to our grandchildren”
“Yes, the pizza is unreal. The cocktails are a little on the simple side, however the flavours are excellent. Would love it if they had a few more beers on draught. Will definitely be returning.”
“Lovely dine in patio, excellent food and the service was absolutely top notch! Beautiful grounds. Would absolutely recommend for a fun night out with friends or for a romantic date night.”
“Del's has been a consistent favourite in our city. We took friends for dinner who came with us 20 years ago and enjoyed it very much then as well. It's always great service, and even if the menu gets updated, we are assured that our meals will be made with the finest quality ingredients and prepared by such a talented kitchen! Perfect flavours combined with a comfortable fine dining setting have given us multiple reasons to come back over the years and share celebrations and conversations over a delicious dinner with friends and family.”
“Fantastic ambiance and really tasty beer. Highly recommended. Easily the best patio for beers when the weather is warm.Parking: Additional parking in the backKid-friendliness: It's a bar, don't bring your kids. Babies are cool though.Wheelchair accessibility: Hard to move around inside in a chair. There is accessible parking out front. Patio is great though.”
“Very nice service from manager and server. Family members had a wonderful time. Family members and birthday girl enjoyed the restaurant. We did mention there was a birthday in our party and assumed something was coming from Moxies but nothing. We all had a great time with just being together. Gave 5's for everything and hopefully more people try the Restaurant ...Wheelchair accessibility: Right by door.”
“I went for dinner with my wife and we both loved it. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great portion sizes and delicious drinks. This place hits all the marks for us. We will be back for sure.”
“Enjoyed calamari, w which was done well. Good service. A little cramped.Wheelchair accessibility: accessible wsshroom does not have an access button and door is heavy.”
“Food was pretty good. Wife and I both had the veal parm with tagliatelle. Would have been nice to have some bread or a small loaf with it. Also, no extra parmesan to sprinkle on top was offered, which is common at most Italian Restaurants. A tad pricey because of what l mentioned, but the food was good and l would probably go back.”
“This place is simply amazing and the owner is a great guy. All the staff are super friendly and happy. I can't say anything about the food cause I didn't eat here but I can say that the atmosphere here is incredible. Just an awesome time. My wife and I are looking so forward to going back. I'm gonna bring my clubs next time too ? special thanks again to the owner. Can't wait to come back.”
“Great food and amazing service, the owner is a real treat to chat with. Don't know who is putting two dollar signs on this though, this is an upscale place, they make everything from scratch and that is reflected in the prices. Pasta dishes come with a ton of meat, and the two pizza's I tried were a little plain but still great.”

“Balbir provided a great customer service and food always tastes fresh at this location. Even if i place the order using uber eats.Thanks and really appreciate your efforts”
“Small seating area.Food was great and filling.Fries could have had a bit more in the tray but tasty.The staff was pleasant and came over to check on us, which was nice.Store was clean and tidy.They were very quick at preparing a meal for 4 people.”
“This location should be a mod3l example of how proper customer service should be like .. excellent service to the staff especially the manager Kaitlyn .. she is setting a perfect leadership skill towards her junior ”
“Fast drive thru with good quality. Friendly service. The heat of the food is good. I go for breakfast mostly but their entire menu is the best fast food available and this particular franchise is great. I have it 5 stars for atmosphere because I sometimes go in to sit in the morning and a group of fellows come in and drink coffee and chat. They get free refills and no one hassles them as they discuss the state of the world. More places should be like this. It has been a while since I've been in there and I hope the fellows are still going.Vegetarian options: Beyond Meat is Delicious!Parking: So much parking. Highland Road is busy so be careful exiting the lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Good access with lots of parking.”
“A bit expensive so I only go when they have promotions or coupons but the food is definitely up to snuff. Burgers are good and they use hellman's mayo. Both the fries and sweet potato variation are good. Chubby chicken is thiccc. Friendly and prompt service ?”
“At the expense of being biased as I previously worked here, this location and the staffs working here always go the extra mile to serve fast and fresh food – living up to A&W’s promise to its customers.The pressure to be of compliance to speed of service is not a drawback for the staffs to upkeep the store and to deliver satisfactory customer experience – from the frontline interaction down to the food itself.This location has gained customer loyalty and retention, which is evident to its regular customers — from the lady who gets her hashbrowns with 2 packets of vinegar at 2PM, the guy who gets his Teen Burger combo at the drive-thru almost every day on his lunch break, the lady with her dog who always gets her iced vanilla latte fix, to another lady who gets a sausage and egger on a seeded bun any time of the day, to the group of elderly people who dines in for hearty breakfast every Sunday.I can go on, but what it all boils down to is that this location, with collaborative effort from management down to its team members, keeps its customer happy — not just in the ways they were trained for, but in ways that are innate to them. And if this isn’t what service industry is all about, I don’t know what is.”
“Hey it's a Tim's so what's more to say that has not been said. Been here at various times and no major complaints. I did take one star off as several times the evening visits showed dirty tables and floor with no one checking the seating area. Food always good and fairly fast service. Note: a large industrial complex is being built across the street so this place is going to be real, real busy and the owner is going to be swimming in donuts of bliss. ?”
“I just want to say I was very happy with my visit here today. We came to Tim's because we had a bad experience with McDonald's. When we were here we were informed that they were out of hashbrowns. The girl working the food counter, Melody, automatically took charge and asked us if we wanted wedges instead and extra bacon on the farmers wrap. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism, courtesy, and willingness to go the extra mile. She deserves a raise or promotion. Very happy with my experience today.”
“Great place to hangout with wonderful food. It's always neat and clean. I used to go there every Friday and the only drawback I found is, BK dont have a good coffee.”
“If you ever want to go there for donuts go early otherwise after a certain time they don't make any more and they just have what they have on hand and selection is few and far between.”
“Dec 15, 2023A little slow this Friday evening until the manager helped out the front counter. The iced coffee here is much better than the one at Highland, unless I just got lucky this one time.”
“I used to rate this location a 3 but it has improved in the past year.Probably a mixture of the renovation and Improved service, plus they don't seem to be as understaffed as they used to be.Edit: Changed the rating from 5 to 4 for the sole reason that I found out they discontinued Honey Mustard”
“I was on the road for a few hours. I don’t usually eat in but I needed a break from the car I had put in a mobile order for counter pickup. It was ready when I walked in. Got a Big Mac combo. Fries were hot and crispy Big Mac was hot and tasty. I do reviews quite often but not usually fast food. What most impressed me about this location was the friendliness of the staff at the front counter and I could hear them in the kitchen to talking to each other really in a friendly happy atmosphere. I even heard someone whistling in the kitchen! Great job!”
“Very fast and efficient. Location was clean and tidy. I ordered through a kiosk so had almost noninteractio with staff, but they were friendly to others around me. The food is... McD's, it's exactly what you expect.Lots of parking, double drive through is fast. A good location.”
“I typically use the drive-thru, and they are quick and efficient. My order is a specialty beverage, so I can't order it through the app, but they're very good at making adjustments and making sure I get the drink I want.”

“Came with my girlfriend tonight for a quick snack. Food was fast, fresh and extremely tasty. Not to mention the prices were amazing! Definitely coming back here soon to try more menu items :)”
“1st time at Public. Restaurant is quaint and very esthetically appealing. Waiter suggested the Chef's choice menu which was $50. We were a group of 5.Drinks and cocktails are quite pricey. We asked for sangria and they were delish. Glass of wine starts at $17 for an 8oz I believe.The food was well prepared.Each dish came with a tapas amount for each person to try.I did expect a little more dialogue from the wait staff. Explaining the dishes. The food was tasty. We did expect a bit more seafood vs. bread, potatoes, and salad, which would have satisfied the value for money. However, all that arrived was yummy. Again, as a meal finisher, the chefs choice I think a small desert bite or two should have been included.Hard to say if we will be back or not, certainly worth a try none the less”

“The place is wonderful and also one of the best Shisha place in kitchener. I come here everyday and it's wonderful l, also the staff here are so friendly and best at their service. Recommended for everyone.”
“Bought cinnamon buns. The pastry of the bun itself was quite nice.The frosting was... just a big mound of butter? Scraped it off, there were rocky clumps of brown sugar beneath.I don't know what happened here... maybe someone forgot to mix something? Maybe it was a do-it-yourself, some-assembly-required treat? It was not very appetizing, I wouldn't buy them again.(EDIT: I appreciate the explanation! I revised my rating and will try you again some time, no free replacement needed. Best wishes to your SIL and her family's new addition!)”
“Came here for the first time with my boyfriend on Saturday for lunch. The food was delicious and I love the atmosphere. Shoutout to our server John! He was very pleasant and his service was fantastic. We will definitely be back to try more menu items!”

“I've been a loyal customer to Grama's Kitchen, long before when it was Angel's Diner. The staff are always friendly, working super hard to make sure you're happy. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is always pleasant. I have gone here so much and gotten the same thing, that some staff know my order by heart. It's a lovely place to go, whether you're going just for one, or for many. Will always reccomend this place.”
“Food is great! Recommend the bbq or the spicy chicken! Don’t sleep on their spring rolls they are so yummy! Order ahead to avoid the line! They close early 6 pm so a better spot for lunch, bring cash ? if you’re getting one ”
“The best croissant I've ever tasted in my life.The amount of ingredients is noticeable, as the end result is incredible. I could also serve coffee and some tables, I know the space would need to be bigger, but I think you are too good to stay in such a small place. You could hire me to work with you, I would take care of the cafes. ???”
“Want home cooking like grandma used to make? Authentic South American dishes for a more than fair dollar. Enjoy a festive and clean environment for you or your company. But most importantly, scrumptious textures, exciting flavors and great memories are made here. Come on down and visit the whole family at Pupusaria Latinos!”
“One of the best takeout pizza spots in the city. The pizza is thin crust and tastes very close to what you would find in Italy. Slightly more on the expensive side when compared to the cheap takeout pizzas, but it's worth the money. The ingredients were of high quality and the crust was cooked perfectly.”
“Just wanted to drop a quick note about my recent visit to Buskin Robbins on Highland Road Kitchener. It was the first time I bought their ice cream and the flavours I tried were amazing! I especially loved Chocolate Fudge cake and Cherry. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.”
“Wowowowow! Where do I start!?!?First of all, a huge shout out, thanks to Lorenzo, he was kind, easygoing, cheerful, and respectful, amazing service 20/10!!!The gaint Chicken bacon ranch with double bacon and Frank's red hot sauce on the chicken is an amazing, good crunch, and it filled me right up! 15/10!!I do have 1 thing to "criticize," tho, haha!Considering this is an American based sub restaurant, the sub was definitely "American," but the fountain drinks where not. Tsk tsk!They have a 24oz and a 32oz option, and the drink I got was not a 32oz size, but the price of one, not a big deal, but I would love to see an actual 32oz cup or better yet a 48oz like they have down south! I do love my drinks after all!Overall, this is a place I have been meaning to visit, and my first visit didn't disappoint for the most part, haha.Solid 12/10 wish they had better fountain drinks, but Lorenzo was a real superstar! ?Cheers, and see you again soon!Parking: Nice open lot, easy to park huge plaza!Kid-friendliness: Super cheerful and friendly!”
“First time trying this place tonight and wow the food is incredible! The staff were so friendly, I loved joking around with them and chatting as I waited for my order. Absolutely recommend this place and I will be back! Didn’t have time to take photos of my party tray, we ate it so quickly ”
“Had a great breakfast today with friends and our 2 yr old! Really enjoyed our meals, the special was a pulled pork Benedict on a waffle and it was delicious!! Prices are extremely reasonable.I see many complaining about the long wait times which I don't think is fair. This is a place to enjoy your time (and food) with friends. Darlise does not claim to be fast food nor even an everyday diner (says so on their website!). If a super quick meal is what you are after there are lots of great places around that will meet your needs. That bit of extra time is just the cost of a well constructed meal. I should note that even our 2 year old was quite content to wait and make use of the crayons provided!”
“Went there tonight, ordered chicken Shawarma plate and Shawarma poutine. The portion were big, it was so tasty, the garlic sauce is so good and flavourful. The chicken are so tender and juicy, service was amazing, full of smile, and so polite. All the food are freshly made. It became my flavour shawarma spot.Will come back even living 25 mins away”
“We decided to check this place out & loved it! The food was terrific, the staff was very helpful, the atmosphere was awesome... everyone was smiling & chatting with each other. We have been 3 times since and my rating hasn't changed. Our new favorite!Vegetarian options: The menu is extensive. Finding a meal you can eat is not hard to find.Dietary restrictions: Just let the serving staff know what your particulars are.Parking: More than ample parking.Kid-friendliness: Lots of smiling faces.Definite family restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: This is not a problem.”

“Chick fil a consistently has such great customer service and fresh food, I’ve never had any issue here. It’s a great atmosphere.I get the spicy deluxe combo and I put chick fil a sauce on the sandwich, it’s great. If you haven’t had it, it’s kind of like a honey mustard/bbq/mayo 3 way hybrid.Overall really great, I’ll continue to return!”
“This is second time I've has Sue T help me when I picked up my online order, and I felt I needed to post. She is amazing, so friendly and helpful, and double checking my order for me. She is incredible! Thank you Sue!”

“This is the best Harvey's around. Nice atmosphere and clean. The toppings were layed out beautifully with really fresh ingredients (no yellow tomato cores!). I get my burger without a bun and the server even asked if I wanted extra lettuce (which I did!). Great service, food and atmosphere. This location is a hidden gem that I've rarely seen busy.”
“Perfect service and delicious menu with authentic poutine.Simple and solid menu.For those who seek a different way of dining, the place offers an outdoor table.Takeout would be ready in 10 minutes, and orders via phone are also accepted.”
“Every time i have visited this location the food is always fresh, there is also one woman manager (works early afternoons) in particular that is always the sweetest and so welcoming when we come through the drive thru!”
“I had an excellent experience at Harvey's recently. My friends and I ordered eight burgers, intending to get chicken burgers, but I mistakenly gave the wrong order. When the staff inquired about the toppings, I realized the error and asked them to change it to chicken. Despite the nearly completed order, they graciously made us fresh chicken sandwiches. The staff exhibited a friendly and humble demeanor, making our visit enjoyable. Overall, their excellent service and calm attitude turned a small mistake into a positive experience.”
“Bearded barrista super friendly and sharp with the banter. Including clever name he labeled son and I on the cup. These.little things make a mere transaction into a human interaction. Kudos to Roger!”
“It's been a while since I've seen samples in any Starbucks, but the one on Ira Needles had some samples of their new Iced Lavender Oat Latte. Delicious! ?”
“We have been here a few times over the last few months and I have to give a special shout out to the very friendly cashier Scott! He's always smiling and patient while my indecisive kiddos order.... much appreciated. Tara was also super helpful in telling me Scott's name while cleaning cheerfully!! Thanks team!Vegetarian options: Veg burgerDietary restrictions: OptionsParking: LotsKid-friendliness: High chairs, friendly staff”
“Kiki was the best. I only come back because of her, she is so cute and funny, I love when she’s there to make my day, she really knows how to make a good cup of ”
“My family eat at Harvey every week. It's our family tradition. At Harvey the service was always good but this one was excellent. The staff was friendly and the owner, Mr. P was extraordinary. He come by our table to thank us and personally served us. Their fries are fresh and the burger are juicy. Amazing experience. Too bad I don't live in Kitchener”
“Super friendly Starbucks. Good vibes and experience. The wait wasn't too bad and the drinks tasted spot . My favourite part is that they forgot to charge me but that is of course nothing to complain about. I would go back to this location not because of the free order, but because of the experience.”
“I always enjoy stopping here when I'm out that way. As I live in brampton we don't have arbys out there. The food and service at this location always gets the bell! Although this location can be slow and at times the order taker is missing the food is always enjoyable.”
“I have been a regular for almost 20 years . I have held regular business meetings that were monumental . At least in my eyes . Healthy food and a perfect setting for getting things done .”
“Went there tonight, ordered chicken Shawarma plate and Shawarma poutine. The portion were big, it was so tasty, the garlic sauce is so good and flavourful. The chicken are so tender and juicy, service was amazing, full of smile, and so polite. All the food are freshly made. It became my flavour shawarma spot.Will come back even living 25 mins away”
“We decided to check this place out & loved it! The food was terrific, the staff was very helpful, the atmosphere was awesome... everyone was smiling & chatting with each other. We have been 3 times since and my rating hasn't changed. Our new favorite!Vegetarian options: The menu is extensive. Finding a meal you can eat is not hard to find.Dietary restrictions: Just let the serving staff know what your particulars are.Parking: More than ample parking.Kid-friendliness: Lots of smiling faces.Definite family restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: This is not a problem.”
“Great pizza and probably one of the best in the area. Just wish for two things. A sheltered place to pick up the pizza and more pizzas that arent so super meaty.”

“Went for a small walk, came across this place, very glad I did. The lady was really nice, very helpful. The treats were excellent, and I'm definitely going back, maybe not at closing rime this time, so I have more time to take it all ”
“Really cute bakery! You wouldn’t even know the goods were gluten free cause of how tasty they were. I got a good mix of items and all of them were great. The roll cakes especially stood out to me. Loved this little gem, will be coming back! The girl at the front counter was very very sweet as well.”
“This was my first time trying authentic Indian food, and I am ABSOLUTELY hooked. Everything I tried tasted amazing. My favourite has to be the pav bhaji, it was very flavourful. Always such a treat to eat from here, couldn't recommend it more!”
“All their baked goods are incredible quality (the butter tart is a personal favourite) and you cannot beat the price. Their coffee paired quite nicely as well, so happy to see they had oat milk as a dairy free option with the coffee!”
“Beautiful place, feels authentic ?, If you want Kolkata food go here for sure, Maulik serving me and my buddy was super cool and nice gave us complimentary food.”
“I loved it. This pizza is amazing. First time i ordered from here i love this the best PIZZA in KWC. I will recommend all my friends and family to try this. Full of veges, cheese and in resonable price.”
“One of my favourite places to eat breakfast/lunch with my partner! The Pupusas are a great price and so delicious. All of the staff are lovely and make the visit even better! We love bringing our friends here and I would happily recommend this to anybody looking for a yummy and fair priced eat!”
“We ordered spring rolls for our church's 40th anniversary celebration. We needed them on a Sunday at 11:30am. They were delivered on time, fresh, and delicious! Everyone loved them! We will order again!! Thank you so much!!Vegetarian options: The spring rolls we ordered were vegetarian. Everyone loved them”
“We had Mohit and this team cater a staff lunch for us today and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Incredible customer service, amazing food and great communication. Highly recommend Ace Shawarma!”
“This place is good fast and cheap pizza but for some reason when I ordered 4 days ago it was burnt and not as good as usual... but yesterday I got 3 mediums and they were all amazing....”
“Passionate staff, friendly atmosphere, delicious beers. You'll notice a constant flow of locals requesting growler fills. Probably the highest I've seen.”
“We tried Papa Joe's for the first time last night. Best pizza in KW. It reminds me of the old pizza places I grew up enjoying. The Crust is perfect and the toppings are high quality and very generous! I had almost given up hope of finding a great pizza place in Kitchener. After 5 years of experimenting and trying nearly every place in the region I've found my spot. So happy I can get a real pizza again! Thank you Papa Joe's!”
“I like the place and the concept, only thing is that I found it more for bigger children, they run freely and enjoy it so much, however with babies (or like mine 2yr) parents have to be next to them to help them climb or avoid bigger kids hit them. They only had one staff person for a Saturday, I think it will be better service with 2. Also I would suggest that ticket for under 3yr should include one adult (it is not like babies can go alone of course) and then ticket per additional adult is ok.”
“My husband and I went for a little lunch date here on our day off and it was so incredible. The atmosphere is great - you almost feel like you're on vacation despite the snow on the ground! They took their time helping us choose off the menu and we decided on the pupusas and tacos. Everything was DELICIOUS. They even gave us a little surprise with our order which was so generous of them. Truly a gem of a spot! We'll be back lots!”
“Tried vada pav and veg burger.Veg burger was surprisingly good, and is worth the money. Vada pav is also good, although small in size. Masala chai was too strong for our liking.Food was fresh, and budget friendly too. Definitely planning to visit again.”
“Delicious food, attentive wait staff, and a clean, bright dining room. Definitely planning to return again. The size 'medium' pho with rare beef was generous & satisfying. Street parking only, but worth it.”

“Went here for a family dinner a few nights ago, the food was great, but Id like to give a shout out to our server Shayla, she was so helpful, funny and kind and made our time there amazing!My son was not having a great time when we arrived and she put him in the best mood within seconds of being at our table to take our order!I dont know if she will see this, but I wanted to thank you again Shayla ❤️ me and my family will definitely be coming back here again for our next dinner outing!”
“Looking for a hidden gem to get breakfast, coffee or drink— this is the place. It’s a small cafe but I absolutely love the vibe. Summers- there’s a beautiful outdoor patio. The inside sitting is a bit compact but I got no complaints. Usually it’s rush so might be some wait period.If you like exploring new cafes- try this place. Won’t be disappointed.”
“The veal sandwich is the best veal sandwich I think I've ever eaten. Curb side pickup only. You have to text in your order then wait for the food to come to your vehicle. Absolutely delicious. I will be back for sure!”
“Chef Firooz has been my favorite chef for years. Saturday I had the Roasted Pork Filet and was totally blow away. By far, the best Pork dish I have ever had. Amazing tender texture, such a tasty spicy sauce, but not too hot, over beautiful mashed potatoes along with perfectly cooked asparagus and carrots.You have to try the Roasted pork Filet.Firooz, please keep this item on the menu.Ross”
“My husband and I stopped in as we were passing through the city and we weren't disappointed. Absolutely amazing food. We got the Platter with Roti, Jerk Chicken and Oxtail. The Jerk Chicken was personally my favorite but both were cooked to perfection.”
“It was our first time and went to celebrate my birthday. We had the spinach dip to start. It was so creamy and delicious and served with fresh tasting foccacia and ciabatta. I had the seafood arabiatta for my meal and my partner had their pepperoni pizza. The serving sizes were generous and we both thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress was excellent. She was very busy with tables, take out orders and drinks at the bar but never made us feel forgotten.We will be back!”
“Amazing jerk chicken and the owners are super friendly! Excellent choices for vegans and vegetarians too. Try the pepper sauce if you like things hot - it’s perfect with the food.”
“We have visited Arabesque several times over the last few years. This last time we ordered the family platter… plus some french fries for the kids!The quality of the food was outstanding… healthy, fresh ingredients and expert preparation. Service was friendly and prompt. All 6 of us had a delicious and memorable experience. The owner seems to always be on site and friendly… very concerned that we have a good time.In our opinion Arabesque is a jewel in the maze of family dining options. Wonderful value. Without hesitation we recommend them to anyone wanting exotic food choices.Kid-friendliness: Very gracious and accommodating to our grandchildren”
“Immaculate in every way. Perfect family run restaurant vibes, 10/10 food that tastes homemade, get the platanos and some pupusas I beg youDietary restrictions: Someone in my party was vegan and they had no problem enjoying their meal! A couple modifications were necessary here and there but the food was still delicious regardless”
“Del's has been a consistent favourite in our city. We took friends for dinner who came with us 20 years ago and enjoyed it very much then as well. It's always great service, and even if the menu gets updated, we are assured that our meals will be made with the finest quality ingredients and prepared by such a talented kitchen! Perfect flavours combined with a comfortable fine dining setting have given us multiple reasons to come back over the years and share celebrations and conversations over a delicious dinner with friends and family.”
“I was looking for a place to play boardgames and came upon Adventurers Guild. What luck! I visit boardgame cafes and arcades often as my wife and son (6) enjoy both. This place has it all. Although I own a large collection of tabletop and videogames you need to get out and this place has heart. We played My Little Scythe, Fireball Island and Donkey Kong Country on the SNES which was great but truely the staff, decor/atmosphere and patrons of the Adventurers Guild were the standout features of our night. We got pizza, milkshakes and some craft beers. I can’t wait to bring my friends here. Totally worth the drive in from Fergus! Tell your friends! This is a solid gaming destination for all ages.”
“Amazing schnitzel, tastes home made... Reminds me of my mom's cooking... Although she never really made schnitzel... If you like vegetables get the gypsy schnitzel, and the breading is great but unbreaded is better... That should speak for itself ”
“Best German Food in Town!!!No discussion!!Initially, I gave them 5 stars on service. The person who was at the front desk last Friday made me change my mind.Very rude and selfish people who the front desk person allowed to pass in front of us. Literally 2 groups of people going to a birthday party being held on the floor above the restaurant - so not paying customers. And (again) she did not do it once but twice. If my husband and I were alone I would not care. But my mother in law was left standing while the restaurant employee allowed 2 groups of people to skip the line.”
“I finally got to try Strykerz in Kitchener yesterday and it definitely didn’t disappoint ! I had the chicken sandwich with pesto, arugula, goat cheese, tomato and an addition of avocado.Since their wings are so popular I had to try them too! Pictured here are the bbq and jerk flavour.The service was amazing and the ambiance, lovely.I can’t wait to go back! ?”
“Lets start with ambiance, it was great and not at all crowded. I was sold when i saw they are giving 2 plates, its very hard in canada to find place which give you plates like we get in india. Food was delicious, Tomato soup is must try, i was full after that but kadhai paneer kept me going till i finished half garlic naan.”
“Great experience from the phone call to the delivery...both the pizza and panzarottis had fresh ingredients not greasy we got delivery both times first time we ordered the panzarotti second time we had pizza and wings and both times we've been extremely happy with everything...delivery quick very friendly driver who I think is also the owner he's a very friendly and so sweet will definitely be ordering from here more often”
“The best cafe I go toThe coffee is delicious and the staff are very friendly!I didn't try all the drinks, but the desserts were delicious, and the staff remembered the menu I eat every day. ”
“Very nice service from manager and server. Family members had a wonderful time. Family members and birthday girl enjoyed the restaurant. We did mention there was a birthday in our party and assumed something was coming from Moxies but nothing. We all had a great time with just being together. Gave 5's for everything and hopefully more people try the Restaurant ...Wheelchair accessibility: Right by door.”
“Walked in and the 2 people inside were very nice and welcoming. Inside was small as they only have one table but it was nice. Ordered birria tacos and some churros. Tacos were amazing! They were filled with so much of the brisket meat and had cilantro and onions on top. Came with consome and salsa that tastes homemade. It was perfect every bite! The churros were great too, not the typical ones with cinnamon sugar on the outside. They were filled with caramel sauce that wasnt too sweet. Overall, this is an amazing spot for tacos! Will recommend this to everyone i know. A little expensive but i think its worth it. Make sure to check their facebook page to see if they are open as they run a food truck too and go to events.”
“The food tastes great, but the portion size is very small and is quite pricey for the amount. There were about 8 shrimps in the spicy shrimp curry, and very little beef in the ginger beef. The vegetable fried rice was $16, and everything was barely shareable for 4 people.”
“Food was pretty good. Wife and I both had the veal parm with tagliatelle. Would have been nice to have some bread or a small loaf with it. Also, no extra parmesan to sprinkle on top was offered, which is common at most Italian Restaurants. A tad pricey because of what l mentioned, but the food was good and l would probably go back.”
“I've eaten here a couple of times and really enjoyed the food each time. I highly recommend the karadjordjeva schnitzel. The cheese filling is incredibly delicious and the schnitzel itself is cooked to perfection. Their portions are generous and their prices are quite reasonable as well. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again.”
“This place is simply amazing and the owner is a great guy. All the staff are super friendly and happy. I can't say anything about the food cause I didn't eat here but I can say that the atmosphere here is incredible. Just an awesome time. My wife and I are looking so forward to going back. I'm gonna bring my clubs next time too ? special thanks again to the owner. Can't wait to come back.”
“Great experience at this Kelseys location. The service was great. We had Terry as our waitress, and she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and funny. Great place for a relaxing dinner, with nice food as well.”
“We were dining as a family for my birthday with our daughters and 3 grandchildren. Our server Luigi was an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, he made us all feel welcome and since it was our first visit, he explained some history about the building. His attentiveness and proactive service to keep my grandkids fed ahead of us and then treated to some ice cream and a cookie was fantastic. Great food, and personalized service!”
“Got the bibimbap, pork bone soup, rice cakes with hot sauce.Bibimbap and pork bone soup were a solid 3.7/5 only because of portions and taste. I’d say it’s better than owl of Minerva tbh.The atmosphere is also very much similar to a Korean restaurant, quite homely.One big issues I’d say is the rice cakes. There was absolutely no hot sauce and they told us to add bibimbap sauce… that was not tasty.”
“Hello.. Today I ordered the veg burrito and I must say it’s really really fresh and delicious. I would like to mention that this was my first visit to the outlet and Sheetal who was taking my order was really good and suggested the best options for veg burrito. Really appreciate her effort towards serving customers . Keep up the good work and good luck . Thank you also for providing information on the rewards / points .”

“Nice cozy and dark little drinks spot. Drinks are a bit pricier but inventive as hell and DAMNED if they aren’t all delicious. If I ever leave it’s always to stop me from going broke and never because I don’t want to try another cool sounding drink.”

“Balbir provided a great customer service and food always tastes fresh at this location. Even if i place the order using uber eats.Thanks and really appreciate your efforts”
“Review is for customer service & True Believer IPA that I picked up. I didn't really experience the actual brewery as they were having an Oktoberfest event when I dropped by. Place was quite busy when I stopped by on a random Saturday. I was intending on stopping by for a flight/pint, but the brewery was having an Oktoberfest event, so I just picked up a 4-pack/bottle from their bottle shop. There was a long line since Oktoberfest goers had to get their pours from the same line that I was in. Even though they were busy, the owner (??) did stop by and gave me a quick lowdown on each bottle/can that I picked up. A lot of them seemed to be sours which I do not like, so I'm glad that he told me! Fridge was quite SMALL and dark, adjacent to the bar, so the lighting wasn't the best. Listing of the items could've been more descriptive, eg. IPA, Sour, etc. And you can't buy individual cans, so I had to pickup a 4-pack. I picked up a bottle of Wax Poetic and although fruity, it was a sour. :( I really like True Believer which is an IPA! Although it looks big from the exterior, the bar/bottle shop area is quite small in comparison. I'd definitely stop by again on a regular day.”

State & Main
“Food was amazing, cooked and seasoned perfectly! Truffle fries were awesome! The Bacon soup was even better! The Asparagus, perfectly cooked! And the Cinnamon bun bread pudding capped it off! Hanna and Kevin went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend stopping in for something! I will be back.”
“The food is great. The service is fast and friendly. The only thing I would say we did not like is the time restriction, you feel rushed to order and eat. I understand it's a smaller place and they want to keep the people moving but 90 minutes went by fast.”
“What a quaint little shop. Had a peppermint mocha latte and a tiramisu. Both were excellent. Service was great as well as atmosphere. I was lucky to find parking right across the street.”

Mel's Diner
“Excellent service with a fantastic menu! Mel's Diner offers you a unique one of a kind 50s atmospheric experience. The staff are super friendly! This place has the best breakfast in town with the best prices too!!!”
“Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters is a hidden gem! The coffee here is simply divine, boasting rich flavors and a perfect roast every time. But that's not all – their sourdough toasts are a delightful accompaniment, offering a crunchy exterior with a soft, tangy interior that pairs flawlessly with their specialty brews. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to start your day or unwind in the afternoon. A must-visit for any coffee enthusiast!"”

Eggsmart
“Had a meat lovers egg skillet it was good..I enjoyed my breakfast overall but I do think they charge quite a bit for what you actually get....don't expect a cheap meal here my skillet meal and coffee came to over $30 with tip that was my meal only .... If I brought my family by my calculations would be over $100 for breakfast that's too steep for me in the end....if that not a factor for you then the food is really good and the service is very good as well your just going to have to pay for it..... $$$Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free bread etc”

Crafty Ramen
“You will not find better ramen in the area or even into the GTA. At least until you get to Mississauga and find another Crafty Ramen.Excellent food, friendly staff that will chat and make you feel at home both in Waterloo and Guelph, and fresh ingredients.The Gryphon is just rich enough without being unbalanced, the Korean chicken is to die for and the karage is the best I’ve had.You’re missing out if you don’t give them a shot.”
“From start to finish - planning our wedding at Abe Erb (Kitchener, Charles St location) was a very stress-free and wonderful experience. The manager, Tony, was very responsive to all our questions throughout the process, was involved in the planning and even helped serve meals the day of the event. He checked in with us occasionally on the wedding day to ensure we were happy and even helped clean up on the wedding day. He was friendly, organized and really helped alleviate any concerns we had throughout the entire process. The food and service was excellent on the wedding day and far exceeded our expectations. We had lots of room for all our guests to play games, dance or chat - whatever they wanted to do. We were also able to bring in any of our own decorations and table settings, as well as additions to the menu. We would highly recommend Abe Erb as a wedding or event venue!! Thank you to Tony and the team who all helped to make our wedding day fabulous!”
“The shawarma of this play is a must try dish. It's a small and cozy place .while it has a couple of chairs for dining in but it's more of a take out place. Will surely be back ”
“Is it delicious? Yes. Are the prices reasonable? Yes. Was the restaurant clean in the service. Good? You bet.Overall, we had a lovely experience going to lunch at pierogi House. The one thing that I would knock it for is the variety of the menu. I know that they are diligently working to expand their menu, and I would definitely give this place a 4.5 star for now. Once they continue to grow their flavour profile, I think it would 100% be worthy of the full five stars.If you’re in the area, and you are looking for a great snack, this might be the place for you.Parking: Plenty of parking near the location”
“Got their cheese steak sandwich today, and it was amazing!! The steak was cooked to perfection, pickled peppers and olives worked really well with the flavor. 10/10 best sandwich I have ever had, strongly recommend!!!!”

“First time eating here and we had a FANTASTIC experience!!!!! Karolina was our waitress and mixologist. She was so educational about food and wine choices. She was attentive to our needs and honestly, all the food we had exceeded our expectations!! Everything was freshly made in house. Highly recommending this restaurant and will be back for sure :) Thanks again!”
“Nice beer menu, excellent appetizer selection as well. Had the dip and the brussel sprout apps. Both fantastic.Our research had not mentioned any live entertainment for our night, but there was. To be exoected on a Friday night, so I can't complain.”

“Such a cute place:) I was soooo happy to see several options for baked goods that were GF AND VEGAN. The chocolate chip cherry muffin was surprisingly good (usually I'm not a fan of fruit in muffins) glad I gave it a shot! :)”

Sunset Grill
“Our server, Jon, was absolutely wonderful! We he came to take our drinks order and was happy to take our food order right away when we mentioned we were a little tight on time. The food arrived very quickly, and was everything you’d hope for a breakfast diner.When our food arrived there was a confusion with the order (our confusion, not theirs) and it was the server who brought the food that explained. We had ordered what we thought was a smoked salmon bagel but it was a smoked salmon plate with a bagel on the side on a different plate. The server brought the three main plates out and was bringing the bagel in a separate trip so there was a moment of confusion around what exactly we ordered. We were very happy with the bagel salmon dish. Jon came by shortly after to confirm everything was okay because he heard there was a confusion.Even when the restaurant got busier just before we left Jon was still serving with a smile on his face.So all in all, all the staff were great, the food was fast and delicious, and Jon, in particular was a favourite!”
“Family friendly place. The server was great, fast with any requests. The breakfast was OK nothing too special, the eggs were super small. The menu was large a lot of selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall the experience was good would go back.”
“The BEST wings I have ever had period. This was a random stop for us and we got a cottage burger and wings. The wings were so tender that it pretty much ruined wings for me because now I know what great wings taste like. I live an hour away, but I'm tempted to just make the drive and go here often ! I got the fire + ice sauce and it was amazing. The drinks were pretty good too and this place is value for money.”
“I think we all know how good Wimpys food is but their milkshakes reign supreme. Wanna know how thick they are well they can survive me slamming on my brakes to avoid a deer and having the milkshake (20 minutes of driving after picking it up mind you as well) fly into the wheel well of my car and not spill a single deliciously strawberry drop.”
“I've written only one other review as its time consuming to write one up. We recently discovered this place (Dec 2023). Apparently they been around a while... I wish we knew of them sooner..It's sort of hidden inside an office building that appears to be empty. You wouldn't know its in there, but they are. Sometimes the best places are hidden Gems. So take your significant other on an adventure and find this place, you won't regret it. You can park at the vacant building next door (corner of Park and Victoria). there's also parking at the rear off of Park Street. If you are just going for take out, you can park right next to the building, right next to the sidewalk (it almost looks as if you're on the sidewalk). We been there 4 times in the last 4 months. Great, fresh and affordable food, the servers are very friendly and accommodating. We've been to a few places that serves Sushi in town, this is our favourite. Their salad is perfectly fresh, not a wilted leaf to be found, it looks like they carefully select and slice their veggies. I think they use a razor blade to slice the food as it looks perfect. There are a few tables inside for eat-in and a courtyard when its warmer. Don't be fooled by its small size or the older office/warehouse decor, it's definitely worth a sit down or even a take out.. So far we've been there for their Japanese cuisine, judging from its quality and appearance, I have no doubt the Korean cuisine is just as good... I've seen them serve it up while eating-in and it looks fantastic... I've had their Salmon Lover dinner and my wife orders their picnic combo.. Thankyou Taste of Seoul.”
“Great staff, great food, and great atmosphere. Perfect place for a beer after work.Edit: 09/02/24 - still a favorite! Great atmosphere for just having a beer, or sitting down for a meal. Staff are always lovely. Their food has always been great minus the poutine using shredded cheese instead of curds.Still love.”

“Really great pizza had the pitcher and pizza combo would recommend I also enjoyed the sauce they have a pool table as wellParking: Alot of parking but was full when I arrived”
“Great little pizzeria with a bar ....this place has a hometown feel and they deliver pretty solid pizza I would say our draw here was the Mc frank the big Mac inspired pizza pretty clever and pretty darn good ....there deep dish was a hit as well with the kids .....great service definitely try the pizza here....only thing I would say is that the sampler platter wasn't really worth the price I wouldn't get it again but we come for the pizza anyway”
“Tried chips n dip, and fried chicken.The chips were freshly made, the fried chicken was tender and juicy and it was made fresh. Amazing quality of food and they have a good variety of cocktails ???Drinks are a little expensive, but they're good.”
“My bf and i came from the states (first time in Canada), and we stayed at the local Marriott nearby. We were looking for food and stumbled across this place. We walked in at 10PM not knowing what time they closed (they close at 10pm) and the owner was happy to welcome us and take our order. He put on two patties on a freshly clean grill and served us like any other customer. Then he took out veggies that he already packed away and made our burger. I havent even taken a bite yet, but already giving a 5/5 review, because the customer service is incomparable. Plus the food looks delicious!! Go support this local restaurant!!!”

Gino's Pizza
“I come here all the time, to the point where they greet me by my name. They are very friendly and polite. The pizza is awesome.Vegetarian options: They offer veggie pizza like most pizza placesParking: It’s a small plaza with lots of parking all around.Kid-friendliness: Nice owners and employees and they are friendly to everyone. Also food options for kids… Kids love pizza.”
“Been going to Big Generals since I was little and it was across from King Edward Public school. Continued to go when I was in highschool at KCI. Was devastated to see it go, and relieved to see it resurface. I go out of my way to hit this specific pizza joint whenever I can because it is just so gooooood! And the prices are super fair, too. Owners deserve all the love!Top notes: the crust! The slices.”

“This is second time I've has Sue T help me when I picked up my online order, and I felt I needed to post. She is amazing, so friendly and helpful, and double checking my order for me. She is incredible! Thank you Sue!”
“It can be tasted out that they use high-quality chicken, fresh and almost no bad smells.The service is also great. I like that they can customize chicken cuts options for customers.”
“This is definitely a hidden gem. Great food at reasonable prices. I got a small panzerotti and a toasted proscuito sub. The panzerotti was very generous, perfectly cooked, not at all greasy and absolutely delicious. The sub was next level. I dont know what they do to their buns but they are crispy all around and so delicious! The topping were quality and it was the best sub i have had this year. Next time i think i will get it without lettuce though..just personal preference. Cant wait to try the pizza here! I will definitely go back.”
“Steak, Lamb, and Octopus were cooked to perfection and expertly paired with intensely flavorful sides and sauces. Currant cheesecake was out of this world. My new favorite in town!”

Pho Tran
“Been driving along this store for two years, but didn’t care to visit. I just recently discovered how good this is as this is an office favorite — the team literally has this every Thursday.Frequented this store since then and each time didn’t disappoint. The food tastes as appetizing as it looks — feeding the eyes, the tummy and well, the heart, too. You will leave full and happy, and sometimes, it’s the simple things like that that makes a huge difference.”
“We visited the pub on a Saturday night and found the food to be generally excellent. We loved the pot roast; however, there were minor imperfections with my Reuben, which was too salty, and the accompanying toast was a bit too oily for my liking. Both the service and the atmosphere were great as well. The live music was at a pleasant volume, and the pub was well-lit, unlike many others I have visited. Additionally, they offered a lovely selection of beers and cocktails, including some not-so-common options. We would be happy to return!”
“Good Food and Good times, the wait staff is amazing and they are very good at taking your orders on the fly, they are able to serve it quickly as well. It can get busy depending on the night so be sure to call ahead and reserve a table to make sure you're able to get in! All in all I'll go back and take friends.Parking: Large parking lot that serves multiple businesses, turn around on parking spots happens quickly enough....Kid-friendliness: There was a family that was using a few tables when we were there, there were a few 13 - 14 yr Olds there using it”
“This is a great little gem for all your baking supplies. It's a clean well thought out store. If you have any questions or aren't sure about something just ask the staff is very helpful. The new location and owners have done a great job!”

Burrito Boyz
““Should a burrito fall apart” RATINGA friend of mine who's a chef at a Waterloo Local restaurant, had mentioned to me that burritos should never fall apart. Since then, I have found that many restaurants (especially those who call them burrito restaurants) often create burritos that are not wrapped probablyMy first Challenger, Burrito Boyz, located at 506 Wilson Ave close to Fairview Mall.The first picture is how it looked after taking my first bite. The second picture is when I'm finishing it. As you can see, the insides fell, but that's because these guys tried stuffing my burrito, thank you, but the wrap never fell apart. 5 out of 5 for these guys. Although if I had ordered it through Skip The Dish, and didn't get a fork, the raking would be 4 out of 5.”
“Perfect service and delicious menu with authentic poutine.Simple and solid menu.For those who seek a different way of dining, the place offers an outdoor table.Takeout would be ready in 10 minutes, and orders via phone are also accepted.”
“Thus place is great. I hate to admit to it but I forget about jack astor's but then when I really think of a place I want to go to have a decent meal and/or a few drinks I remember their bar and atmosphere and am never disappointed. Great place.”
“We always enjoy taking our family to Graffiti. Our Grandkids love the interactive table. The food is always predictably great! The guys love the pizza every time. There are many options to choose from. Our server was great! Very attentive. We will look forward to our next dining experience. We also like the location. Walking distance from where we live!! Bonus!”

“Haven’t been there in a while but it was nice to go back there today. I was happy to see that they have upgraded their GolfBalls to Callaway. Not too happy to find out that they don’t have Stella on tap anymore. They had the best in town.”
“Can't rate on anything besides food as I've only ordered, but Ennio's seems to be the case of hit or miss depending on the day. My past couple experiences were great! Meatballs were nothing amazing, but pretty decent, Rustica was simple, but overall okay. Chicken was a little m e h. Annabella and the carbonara were great as well. But today was probably the worst experience. Gnocchi Con Gamberetti was extremely lemony. Overpowering all the other flavours, unfortunately. Was also missing the prosciutto in my dish, which just made me kinda sad haha. The Gnocchi itself would have been delicious had it not been for the overpowering lemon taste in the whole dish. Overall, more positive than negative here. But when it's an off day, it really stings to pay sometimes 30$ or more on a single dish that's just bordering on inedible due to flavour.”
“I o have ordered Great Thai food thru Uber Eats and every time they have not disappointed. Food is fresh, tasty and Vegetables are fresh . I would highly recommend when craving Thai food and don’t want to go out! We ordered the Vegatable Stir Fry with Shrimp and Cashew Chicken Stir Fry. The cheese crab appetizer and yummy fresh shrimp rolls, had tofu fresh roll, equally as delicious!”

Fish/ shrimp/ chicken tenders and chips.

“Choice Indian Restaurant never fails to impress with its excellent food. Having been our go-to spot at Swastik Cross Roads in Ahmedabad, we were thrilled to visit their Canadian franchise. True to its roots, the taste and quality remain exceptional, evoking nostalgic memories of our experiences in Ahmedabad. Their first-class, super-fast service left us truly amazed! Even when the restaurant was almost full and people were waiting, their service standard remained top-notch. Impressive efficiency and dedication to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend!”
“The place was amazing. If I could give more than five stars I would. Not just the food but the service and hospitality is excellent too. I went there with my friends. They have great variety for Indian and hakka. Fruit punch ws refreshing to start or something warm like hot and sour soup is great option too. Honey chili potato and paneer choila for the starters is good choice. I really love their crispy chili beef dry, deep fried spicy calamar, tandoori chicken leg momo in butter sauce chilli chicken gravy or butter chicken with biryani and garlic naan. Deluxe hakka noodle was worth the try. Chaat papdi was also great. Thanks hakka aroma for the wonderful night. Would come back again.”

“Lets start with ambiance, it was great and not at all crowded. I was sold when i saw they are giving 2 plates, its very hard in canada to find place which give you plates like we get in india. Food was delicious, Tomato soup is must try, i was full after that but kadhai paneer kept me going till i finished half garlic naan.”

“I still can't get over how delicious and authentic everything at this place is! Those veggie samosas were little perfectlyspiced pockets of heaven. But the palak paneer totally stole the show with its lusciously creamy spinach sauce that I wanted to bathe in. And that garlic naan was chewy, charred perfection.”
“We had ordered breakfast combo which had variety of items. Everything was tasty but the highlight was Pongal. Ghee was floating on top of it. For someone who likes ghee (Clarified butter) this is a absolute pleasure.”
