2017: Tasty food,generous portions,fast service.I order there once or twice a month.2022 Edit: Did they change their chicken supplier? It used to be so juicy, tasty and tender. Now it tastes like frozen stuff. C'est dommage. Je commandais toujours brochette de poulet.
In one word, I would describe this place as WOW. First of all, I went to order and they were so respectful and polite. The workers greeted me so kindly and they were welcoming. The prepared my food quickly and everything I wanted was available and fresh. The potatoes are constantly being fried so I know it’s fresh and the taste is just impeccable. The rice was so delicious, fluffy and FRESH, not dry like the other middle eastern restaurants (Amir ?). Actually I can confidently say that it’s the best rice i’ve had from any middle eastern fast food place (compared to Amir, Boustan, Basha). Torino definitely has the best rice and potatoes compared to them. Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about their chicken. They should call it king chicken because it’s made for kings. The taste is just so juicy and the sauce they put on it is like it came from heaven. Gosh, if I had more space in my stomach I would get a second plate.
Why is the chicken so dry ? It used to be the most tender and juicy chicken…We were basically coming for the chicken and now that’s the only thing we didn’t like in our plate.Soft drink is flat also.*Update : they replied to my review with an email. I contacted them and they didn’t reply…. I guess they just pretend to care.
Everything is great except for that little girl they have on the cash, the most rude and lack of respect and education. She was serving with a rude way and she said something when i asked her to repeat because i didn’t hear she went ahead and talked with another girl in her ear and starting laughing, she saw that i was looking at her so she turned and went straight to the back like a cricket. I dont know what she thinks she is. My order is literally her pay of the week lol. You lost a lot of customers only because of that thing. Best of luck!
Food is very tasty but for the last two years their prices have gone up 25 to 30% becoming very expensive to eat there
At around 7:20 on a Wednesday, there was no one in the line when I ordered burger trio. I sensed the impatience and negativity with the girl who takes your order (she was in a Torino T-shirt). Anyway, waited at around 20 minutes, meanwhile 3 people who ordered after me were served. While 4th one’s order was being taken (which same girl’s attitude was same to the poor guy), the cashier noticed I was looking for my order and she told me it takes time to cook a burger. Their reaction is this insult instead of ‘sorry’ or ‘we didn’t forget you”. I canceled my order same minute. According to my gf watching this from her table, a lot of people in the line left one after another since they take ages. I can understand being busy but can’t understand the disrespectful manners after serving 4 orders given after me. I ordered a burger trio! Won’t go again to Torino.
Montrealers love middle eastern food and I’m no exception. I’ve had my share of the delicious food from the usual quick spots like Boustan, Amir, Basha, Kebeh Kebab, and my favorite, Abu Elias. This spot supposedly stands a notch higher because they use higher quality ingredients. Grillades Torino(Laval), takes mall food to another level by grilling the meats right in front of you. I ordered the chicken and beef plate which comes with 3 choices, I picked white rice, brocoli and vegetables, and the fattoush salad as sides. The beef was unexpectedly tender and medium cooked to my request, was it a filet mignon cut? Sure taste like it. The chicken was also a hit, juicy and tasty. However, 2 sides orders were misses. Not sure if the cook had an off day but both, the brocoli & vegetables side and the fattoush salad, were very salty and inedible. Very fixable, just go easy with the salt. I will come back for the grilled meats.
A 5star for the delicious food .Patate was so good , I wish I have the recipe, it was similar to tartar patate
Always delicious ?
