Food was really good. I ordered the fish of the day, it was very tasty!❤️❤️❤️
Very poor service, short of staff and low-quality food. We were waiting for 1.5 hour to get our food. They failed to bring us the right order. The restaurant smelled very bad because of the smelly and dirty toilets inside. The prices were so expensive comparing to the food and service we received. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.
Overall: 3.5Food Quality: 4 for some, 3 for some (details below)Management and Service- overall: 3 (details below)Service specific on the person refilling water who's not our waitress: 5(the cups were never empty)Ambience: 3.5Value: 3It was interesting trying out an Armenian restaurant and we were very excited to start with before waiting for hours for the food. Overall the experience was mixed, when the food is good it's very good but there were also half of the dishes we wish we didn't waste money on (details below).The management of the restaurant has a LOT of room to improve on and the service level and experience overall was more negative than positive.The food came out extremely slow, we waited for an hour before entrees were served, and after accepting their apology on the delay, it took more than half an hour before desert was served - it was just yogurt so no baking or anything was required, and the dessert only came out immediately after we said we need to go and will cancel the order if it's not available - we feel that it was ready just no one bothered to deliver it to our table.Also we dined with another couple and we split the bill at the end. I was surprised the waitress asked "should I put all the apps on your bill?" - it's one thing that we didn't mind but another to be asking this question opposed assuming items shared between two parties are split on the bills as well. If it's a customer who did not intend to pay for all the apps on the table, the waitress asking that question either puts the person being asked in an awkward position or the person will pay a lot more than planned on this meal and neither would have been a pleasant experience.Another unpleasant surprise was for the dip we ordered, we were charged $5 for extra bread. I can't even recall another restaurant that charges for extra bread. While the bread was very good and we would have paid to order more regardless, the fact that the waitress did not mention there was this extra charge in advance was quite negligent, and then also she again assumed this shared food should go on one party's bill.Review on Food: please note that most of my feedback is personal preference and while I love middle Eastern food in general, I am no expert in it1. DipsMuhhamara:5Babaghanoush: 3Labneh: 3.5Lamb chop and the sirloin was pretty good and it's a restaurant I would still recommendthe guy refilling water was super attentive and the cups were never empty which was appreciated.
We had been really looking forward to coming here every time we are visiting family in the area as we have tried a variety of middle eastern/ Mediterranean type food and the food looked so good.So why am I giving it a 2 star??Well for starters it was really uncomfortably cold inside but kept the jackets on and we were willing to make a night of it hoping the place or us would warm up.The service or disconnect with the kitchen or whatever caused a ridiculous delay of over 1 hour and 10 minute to even get a cold humus appetizer was unreal. We hate to complain so just kept waiting hoping for the best drinking our wine and ordered more drinks. I was ready to just pay for our drinks and leave at this point but decided to ask the waitress again and point out that the table beside us who got there well after us had their appetizers and food already?!!No explanation, really, let me check wire your order is on the list with kitchen?? 10 min later finally had humus and waited another 10 to get the cheese appetizer. This was 1 hour and half after being seated for cold prepared humus?!!!Humus was really fresh and good could have used a bit of olive oil drizzle or fresh nuts or garnish but was really good.The cheese akawi appetizer could have been a bit more crusty but was good too. So I was at least a bit happy that the wait and the freezing temperature inside wasn't for nothing and was hopeful for a promising main dishes and sides.Here's where things went sideways again. Another long wait to get our mains only to find the food cold. And I mean cold not just room temperature, cold fish and cold ground beef skewer and sides, wth come on the kitchen is within reach and how do you serve hot food cold AF and think it's acceptable??!!Beyond dissatisfied and by this point we really should have sent it back or complained but like I said we dine out a lot and and come from family of restauranteurs and by nature try to do our best to enjoy the experience the best and not complain but this is the closest I've come to doing so and was going to pay for drinks and walk out and down or up the street to many of the other available restaurants.Now as for the quality of the fish it was a good grilled or broiled fish however sadly beyond cold and not seasoned with any bit of salt, herbs, butter or any flavor at all.The ground beef skewer was good quality ground beef but again lacked moistness or flavor. Most of these Mediterranean kabobs have onions, parsley, salt, their own unique seasoning and are very moist and nicely charred outside, melt in your mouth to differentiate them between just ground beef patty equivalent of fast food burger shaped differently.The side mushrooms dish had good flavor but was really cold and the potatoes were too greasy because again cold and no unique flavor to make it a must order or even comparable to cheap franchise frozen fries?!!My advice to the restaurant, owner, manager whoever that may care to actually hear an honest opinion : improve the dining experience and flavor profile, to hopefully avoid our experience for any customer, please read the review and make sure our experience is never again repeated despite your potential ratings or clients.You have to organize your service and kitchen coordination better so not only diners are getting their food in adequate time but you also cannot serve absolutely next day take out cold temperature food and need to elevate your flavor profile to be comparable to others in area for same cuisine and price point.Just leaving an honest review, spent $200 and despite everything still tipped 20%. So this isn't a being cheap, complaining for the sake of and being picky, like I said we frequent lots of restaurants and give honest feedback and this is one of the first bad reviews as felt bad complaining or letting you know in front of other diners there.Will we go back?? Honestly not sure
Delicious food and service. Enjoyed every dish. Babaghanoush, Armenian appetizers and the lamb. Fish was seasoned perfectly as well.
Great ambiance. Excellent customer service. Good food.
This was the first restaurant I visited after Toronto's lockdown was lifted in the summer. Not sure if it was the excitement of being in a restaurant again or what, but I had an amazing time. We tried one appetizer dish and two main courses and all were excellent (lamb shank pictured), and the staff were nice and friendly. Not quite sure how things would be for a larger group but for a couple, the service was top notch.
Outstanding sarma, mantu, and lamb chops. Can’t wait to go back to try other appetizers, fish and beef mains and dessert.
A perfect place to enjoy dinner with my family, nice food and friendly staffs. Definitely will go back again
I went there for brunch and it was so fresh and tasty. The menu have many different varieties. Staff were really friendly and the interior design is beautiful and bright. I would go back there for sure.I liked their coffee too ☕️☕️
