The staff here pays attention to what they are doing and don't ignore you like most other McDonald's. I drive 25min just to come to this location. Just a heads up that the parking lot is a bit weird, the right lane is the entrance and the left lane is the exit.”

“Great food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant”

“If you're looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, this is the place to be! The taste is absolutely spot-on, with the perfect blend of spices and cooking techniques that bring out the natural flavors of the dishes without overpowering them. I tried their kebabs and mutton shank , rice, and they were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Serving size is generous. The service was warm and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A true gem for anyone who appreciates delicious Afghan food. Highly recommended!”

“Tried this place last night and was pleasantly surprised. probably the best pizza in Durham.”

“For my 1st visit,order in, pick up, I'm not disappointed. I had a cheese steak sandwich with fries. Awesome.
The fries were excellent, no need for ketchup, or salt and pepper. They're soo good they stand on their own! (Ya, I added some ketchup to start but that's it where it ended!)
The steak sandwich, OMG, fantastic, steak meat very tender, well flavored, and saucy. Love that! It gets messy and it's worth it. Napkins well supplied.
I will definitely be checking out more of their menu items in the future.
Not forgotten, their staff is courteous and pleasant, and the eat in space is bright and comfortable.
It's worth checking out!”

We had 60 people, a 5 course delicious meal, table service for drinks and everything was amazing!! Hot food beautifully presented, cold drinks, the friendliest staff who were so attentive that many of our guests commented and thanked them! We were thrilled with Ada who managed all of our requests, and was there to oversee and assist the top notch servers on our special day! Such a positive experience!! Can not say enough good things about it!!”

“Delicious food. Will order again for sure.”

“This place is truly a gem in pickering.
Been to many fancier donuts and cafes and yet nothing comes comes close to their food and service. There donuts are melt in your mouth and super fluffy. And muffins are huge.
Ps. Come early. They sell out fast with the bake goods.!”

“I ordered Hyderabad chicken Dum Biryani, and mutton roast. Both are tasty and I enjoyed the faloviuf of biryani along with mutton roast. Gazzer Halwa was also so tasty. I suggest people to visit charminar Indian cuisine restaurant who likes to taste Indian cuisine and enjoy delicious food.”

“This place has the best coffee. I love to have a cup it a cozy restaurant atmosphere enjoying the weather outside nowadays. I am from Europe and it’s making me happy to taste a good coffee! For me it’s better than in Starbucks? they also have different varieties of tea. My favorite is spiced milk tea, named masala?”

“Donna and Tianna are absolutely amazing to work with! They make the most delicious cakes and cupcakes in the Ajax/Pickering area. Upon the opening of Stage 3 here in Durham, we had an event last weekend, and on short notice, they were able to pull off a beautiful 8” cake and 100 cupcakes (combined regular and mini). We cannot thank them enough for being so accommodating, friendly and welcoming whenever we interacted with them (in person and over the phone). The lightness of the buttercream, and moist cake itself was perfect. We received rave reviews from our guests, and highly recommend to give them a try. Thank you again so much, Donna and Tianna, for the spectacular service! We will definitely be back again soon 😊”

“Best spring rolls we've had in a long time and wonderful pad thai. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will be back regularly”

“The Best halal burgers ever had in Pickering”

“I honestly don't know why people are giving very bad review on their pizzas and food. I have been a customer for almost 3 years and each and everytime I received excellent customer service, delicious and quality food.
I think some people just trying to spoil the reputation of this place! Whoever is doing this,I am pretty sure they have not even tried a single piece of slice from this place. So please do not put fake feed back and review!!! You may have to face legal consequences if you keep doing this!!!

Once again, Grandpa's Pizzeria is one of the best pizza places that you should try!”

“I went for lunch, the place was busy but the line moved quickly. It was Wednesday and the special , J*** wings were excellent. A lot of repeat customers and I will be back!”

“I would say the overall experience was okay.

The wait time was too long.

Cheesy steak burgers were great, as was the loaded poutine. However Zetsy chicken burger was way spicy.”

“The food was unexpectedly delicious, with generous portions. It was better than what you’d find in some expensive restaurants. The price was reasonable, and I even shared my meal with my husband. I ordered chicken alfredo pasta, while my husband ordered chicken wings with fries. Puvi, the staff member who assisted us, was incredibly kind and had a warm, contagious smile. He created a light and welcoming atmosphere, making our dining experience even better. He was attentive, helpful, and checked in to see if we needed anything else. Highly recommend!”

“I love the service of this timhorton. especially the work of rasil duwal. Everyone is sweet and quick to their work. Talk with a very gentle smile. I love this tim Horton.”

“first time I ordered, I think i ordered either mild or hot, and was like "it's ok" but boy let me tell you, I ordered the hot af level of heat yesterday...the burn sensational, but today I'm hurting on my toilet😂 don't reccomend if your stomach can't handle super spicy stuff, but would order again a few small food critiques my chicken, was a little dry and lacking a crunch would suggest doing something about that, the slaw doesn't really taste like anything I get very little hint of the dill in it, for it being named "dill with it" and should imo have a larger portion size for the 20$ price tag in the combo, or at least include the drink”

“Service is exceptional , really kind and happy staff . Especially in drive thru . I came to try the veggie burger after seeing other reviews but I think it’s kinda overhyped. It’s good! But not exceptional”

“First time came here for dinner, we usually do the dim sum at lunch. The restaurant does deliver some great authentic Chinese foods and attentive servicesThe sweet and sour pork, wonton soup, water-boiled beef are all very good! The peking duck is particularly crispy and tasty!!Overall, this is a good found in Pickering. The best part is we managed to have some slot machine fun after the dinner and everyone had a great time!!”

“So i found this place heading to subway in the plaza and decided. Beautiful dining area so bright i kinda want to try that. The other was working and explained they had 2 stores and used 8oz patties and fresh fries and i mean really treated me like gold! I ordered a crispy chicken poutine and a hawian burger only a mistake because the poutine was more then enough for a meal on its own. The burger was prepared picture perfect and i did take one. The poutine was nice crispy fries chicken so fine cut strips it was all soo good ! And the menu options some stuff i hadn’t heard if but they have mutton fries and chicken options as well as veggie and beyond meat i strongly recommend any of my burger loving freinds reading this give them a try you wont be disappointed. Dont shy at the prices you get your moneys worth no question! Its one of my top 3 meals hands down. Would recommend and will be by again even though i live 3 hours away😂”

“This place is very busy at weekends and have to wait a while , but customer service is good at least.even though they do forget things or two.food is good hot fresh”

“Best coffee and best staff, very friendly but the drive through is a bit tight

Vegetarian options: Need more varieties that also does not include dairy products”

“Good ice cream . Had the banana split . Was amazing”

“Love Starbucks, I always spend most of my time ordering here because they are one of the few corporate coffee shops that provide dairy alternatives, as I am lactose intolerant. This location in particular had just done renovation and love the new setting. The ambiance was great and even more welcoming than before. The service is always on point and the wait time was almost to none. Amazing and highly recommend coming here if you life quiet time doing work/studying or hanging out with friends/families.”

“PLEASE READ!!

If you’re looking for the best Mary Brown’s this is one of them. This one along with the other location in Pickering is PEAK Mary Brown’s. High quality sandwiches and juicy, crispy chicken.

I’ve left reviews on the Markham locations closer to where I live and that one is absolute doggy doo doo. Sorry to say, but just because it’s a the same food doesn’t mean it’s the same quality.

GO TO PICKERING FOR YOUR MARY BROWN’S it’s with the trip. And if you live nearby, screw you, I’m jealous. (Haha)”

“I had a great time dining in at BarBurrito! The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients, and the flavors were spot on. The service was quick, and the staff made me feel welcome.

Parking: Not a lot of parking in the area for the amount of restaurants in the strip. You might wait a bit during high traffic.”

“Just had a delicious meal from here tonight. Reasonably priced with large portions was a bonus. Highlights were arancini, veal sandwich, and gelato. Definitely going back soon to try more things!”

“Good spot for lunch, online ordering is fast and ready when we arrive. Consider giving an option for online ordering to put dining in so we don't have to waste the take away bag that the food is packaged in. Would be nice if extra veggies didn't cost 99cents”

“I ordered the Veg Thali with Naan, and overall, it was a decent meal. The thali includes your choice of three curries, served with rice, naan, and raita. I went with Shahi Paneer, Kadi, and Mixed Veg Curry.

The Shahi Paneer was definitely the highlight—rich, creamy, and flavorful. The naan was soft and fresh, which was a nice touch. However, the Kadi and Mixed Veg Curry were just average, lacking the depth of flavor I expected.

One item I highly recommend is their Paneer Kulcha with Chana—we absolutely love it! If you're a fan of paneer dishes, this spot is worth checking out.”

I told them this will be the last time I give them business. also, they mess up one of my order. they give me wrong salad.”

I shared my concern about a wrong drive-through order from the previous day, and she patiently listened to my issue.

Her willingness to help is greatly appreciated.”
