The Iskender kebab was the star for me. The meat was tender and had that perfect smoky char from the grill.

A cozy little spot, nice and quiet. The chickpea fritters were spot on, and the gnocchi was just right. They had a really interesting selection of natural wines by the glass. Picked one that went surprisingly well with the fritters.

Been coming here for a while now. The sushi is always so fresh, you can really taste the quality in the fish. It&#39;s a nice, cozy spot for a quiet lunch. The rice was perfectly seasoned this time, which I really appreciate.

The coffee&#39;s good, but it&#39;s the baked goods that keep me coming back. That lemon-thyme scone? Unusual and absolutely nailed it. The Star Wars stuff is a fun touch, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for the pastry case.

Found this spot for a quick lunch. The seekh kabab was juicy, just like street food back home. Got my order in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a fast, filling bite between meetings.

The staff made my birthday feel so special. They brought out a little dessert with a candle, and everyone sang. It was a really sweet touch.

The open kitchen is a nice touch. You can watch the chefs work. The space is small, so a reservation is a good idea.

Nice patio for a quick summer lunch. Grabbed a beer and a burger. Burger was decent, came out fast. Patio was a bit crowded though. Good spot if you need a quick bite outside.

The bar&#39;s a nice cozy spot for dinner. The mandarin cocktail was really well made, tasted great. Just a bit on the pricier side for what it is.

Been here a few times. The kebabs are solid, especially the koobideh. Good spot to bring friends trying Persian food for the first time. Location&#39;s handy.

The back area near the restrooms has such nice lighting, really soft and flattering. It&#39;s perfect for taking photos without feeling like you&#39;re in a spotlight. Made our group dinner feel a bit more special without being fussy.

Arancini and meatballs were great, but the grilled octopus was the real star. Perfectly tender and full of flavor. Quick service too, got my order out fast for a lunch break.

Been back a few times for the Halal Burger Combo. Love that you can really customize your burger with all the toppings. The place just has a nice, easy vibe to it.

The tiramisu croissant was solid, not overly sweet. The matcha foam on the coconut drink was thick and blended well. Good spot for a quick bite.

Great spot in the Delta. Emily and Patrick were fantastic. Their wine list has some nice local options that paired well with our meal.

A bit pricey, but the seafood selection is solid. They had some really fresh scallops and the tuna was spot on. Student discount is a nice touch.

Halal chicken option is a thoughtful touch.

The private dining setup was so smooth. Our coordinator handled everything, and the three-course meal looked stunning. The duck breast was cooked perfectly, tender with a crisp skin. A really nice evening.

Busy spot, but they keep things moving. Perfect for a quick lunch. Got the banana split - classic diner dessert done right. Service was efficient even when packed. Just what I needed.

Just stopped in for lunch at St. Lawrence Market. The place is packed and feels warm. Got the breakfast platter - huge portion, really filling. Good spot to grab a bite.

Came for a late lunch on a Saturday. The space is really nice&mdash;lots of natural light from the big windows and the tables aren&#39;t crammed together. Makes it easy to just relax. The food was great, honestly some of the better Italian I&#39;ve had.

Our server Crystal was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. The service was quick and attentive, which made for a relaxed meal.

Small spot, mostly for takeout. A few stools inside and a patio, but seating is pretty limited.

Stumbled upon this spot. The decor is so calming, like a warm hug. Love the little plants everywhere and the soft lighting. Just feels like home.

Busy spot, but the line moves fast. Love the retro vibe and all the local celeb photos on the walls &ndash; makes it feel like a fun little time capsule.

Heather&#39;s service was on point. She checked in just enough without hovering, and remembered our drink refills. Makes a difference when you&#39;re just trying to have a quiet dinner.

Nice modern spot, good for a casual lunch or a business meet-up. Easy to get to right off Hwy 7 in Richmond Hill. The vibe is relaxed, not too loud.

Connected to the Holiday Inn. Menu&#39;s got a solid range. Food was good, decently priced. Staff were friendly, service was quick. They had a nice local IPA on tap that went well with the burger. A bit noisy from the lobby, but fine for a casual bite.
