I went to the one on Yonge north of Sheppard and ordered the schnitzel due to previous recommendations. When the plate came, it was a piece of schnitzel that was burnt around the edges and burnt fries. Nothing else. Presentation was horrible! Waiter never came over to see how things were or if I wanted anything else. After I ate what I could I had to flag down one of the hostess/managers to get my bill and I mentioned how horrible the meal was. Very disappointed!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my brunch here. Has a homey diner feel but with elevated food. I fell in love with the cauliflower appetizer - so simple but so good! Shakshuka is another must have when you’re here.

4.5/5Yum! Definitely worth the wait. It was a 15-20 min wait for a weekday lunch. The food here is delicious! The Sinia Kebab was our favourite.The service isn’t the best (they’re friendly but slow). However, I’d still recommend coming here. Would return!

Delicious breakfast. Different than the usual…loved the Shakshuka’s. We had three different ones at our table, and everyone loved it! Coffee and hot chocolate drinks were also tasty. I personally can’t stand the menus that are only available with the QR code. I asked for written menus, and they were provided. It was explained that the online was accurate and print was not. However, the kids drinks we tried to order that were posted online were not available. Service was poor & almost non-existent. We were out of water most of the meal. We sat with dirty dishes at our table waiting to pay out for over 15 minutes. I like that you can join the waitlist online. Bathrooms were out of order! Overall, I will give the food a 5 and the service a 2.

Loved the vibe in here, really busy but served quick! The sangrai was lovely as well as the home made burger. Everyone in our party really enjoyed it in here. Our sever was really friendly and helped with recommendations

This lovely place served great food, perfect for lunch, breakfast and brunch! A lovely atmosphere and tasty food! It’s great for friends and couples!

Incredible food & service !!

First meal in Toronto was here. Rozalach are a must try. Eggs benny, shakshuka, latte and hot chocolate. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would go back again.

Loved the vibe of this cafe. Service was excellent everyone that works there were very courteous. We ordered cauliflower, I found it very bland, nothing special. Humus was delicious and the chicken shawarma was very good but very greasy, the mejadra rice was very dry and pasty, definitely wouldn’t order again. The schnitzel was good but the rice was very bland. Overall our dinner was good.

Very busy for Saturday brunch (1h wait), but became manageable after 12pm! Entire staff were accommodating and friendly. Food was top notch - perfectly seasoned and spiced. If you're a fan of oat milk lattes, they do them very well!
